Chapter 10
The next few weeks weren't so bad for you. Your legs were still in casts but you dealt with it all the time you were there. The only time your legs hurt the most was at night, so much that you sometimes cry at night for the pain to stop. When morning came you were waiting for your brothers or Grandpa D to come and visit you today. You waited for an hour until your nurse came in. "Good morning Kurai. I'm afraid that you brothers won't come today and the same for D. They said that they are busy for the day and they are sorry that they can't come."
You were sad for a moment but you smiled at her and wrote down. 'That's ok. If it is ok, can I go to the children section of the hospital? I wish to keep them company.'
She said, "I'm sorry Kurai but you still have to stay in bed. Maybe another time." After she done checking you she asked, "Do you need anything?"
You wrote, "No I'm fine." And so she left and you just sat there alone. 'At least I won't here ghostly voices like back at that place anymore.'
Hours past and you were starting to get lonely. No nurses came except that one you saw this morning, no doctors, no other patients that would sneak to see you, no anybody. What worried you the most was that you haven't seen Count D since the time he came that first night when you woke-up. When night came, you gave up on seeing any other visitors and decided it was time for you to sleep. 10 minutes you heard the door open and closing as well as footsteps. You pretended to sleep and try and hear who it was. It was silent for a moment until you felt a hand on you cheek. You knew who it was. You immediately open your eyes, gently hold that person's hand and turn and sat up to see none other than Count D. You notice that his eyes were blood-shot from crying and that he did get any sleep at all. He still has guilty from what happen before. You put your hand on his cheek and then both of you were leaning forward. Soon, you two kissed for the first time. He put his arm around you while you wrapped an arm around his neck. Then, suddenly, from his pocket, something was glowing. He took the items out and it was the music box and the necklace key. Then like magic it was floating and the necklace placed itself on the music box and it started to turn by itself. When it stopped, the lid of the box open and two figures of a prince and a princess dancing and music was playing. The music was so calming and beautiful. It was the same song your grandma used to sing to you to sleep before she died. You and D spent the whole night listening to the music that brought you two together and you felt no pain that night. You both were in love with each other that it felt this feeling before you meet all those years ago. The next morning Leon, Chris, and Grandpa D were on their way to see you bringing gifts as a way to say sorry for yesterday. When they open the door, they saw you were sleeping with D next to you on the same bed with the music box on top of your and D's hand with a smile on your faces. After seeing that the boys were happy and decided to leave the room and come back a little later.
