DISCLAIMER: I OWN THIS STORYS PLOT AND CHARECTERS.
I didn't know when but I fell asleep only to be awoken by the morning light penetrating my heavily curtained window.
Once again I was in my room and without a doubt this time I knew how I got here.
Edward had probably carried me here.
I got up to a major headache.
I checked the time. "Urgh. I'm late again!"
Getting out of bed felt like a bitch.
I felt extremely cold for a person with supernatural blood.
"It would be wise for you to stay in bed." I heard a voice say, startling me.
"Why?" I asked feeling more tired and sleepy than I did last night.
"Your hearts beating a 100 beats a minute."
"So?"
"You're running a high fever."
"Urgh. No. I can't afford to be ill." I said.
This cant be happening!
I still made my way to the bathroom and got dressed and did my daily stuff.
When I got out Edward said, from the corner of my room "I think you should stay in bed today"
"If you were a future king you would know that I cant do that. I have responsibilities."
"You have no idea-" suddenly he stopped.
I looked at him quizzically but let it go.
I walked out and down to the table for breakfast.
Was he from a royal family too?
Monique, thank God wasn't on the table.
I had a cereal today in no mood to eat.
I left half of it in the bowl.
I walked into the training room.
"You're late!" I looked around but saw no one.
Suddenly I saw something behind me in a flash.
I turned, too late to stop the attack because my reflexes seemed a bit slow due to the fever.
Before I knew it Edward had stopped the attack.
"What the..?" said Mathew as Edward was an inch away from his neck.
"Edward no!" I screamed.
He stopped and moved a few centimeters away but didn't let go.
"Edward, this is Mathew my trainer. Mat this is Edward, my new bodyguard."
"Oh" they both said and moved away from each other.
"He can't even defend himself, what can he teach you?" he whispered in my ear.
He was so close to me that when I felt his breath tickled my skin I lost all train of thoughts.
"He's the best. I learnt everything from him and now I can defend myself and beat him as well as most of the supernatural" I smirked.
"Impressive for a princess.." he commented. I blushed slightly and he carried on "Anyone can beat him." He added while pointing his chin towards Mat.
"Hey! I heard that!" protested Mat.
"Like I care" Edward said casually.
"You know what? Spar with me." Mat said reflecting Edwards tone.
He looked at me and I nodded dully. To emphasis I signaled him from my hands to go on.
I leaned against one of the walls sighing.
The room felt like it was spinning.
I didn't feel so good.
I felt a different pain in my skull. As if someone had thrashed it in a wall and broken it.
I closed my eyes.
XXX
When I opened them next I was in my bed.
I moaned as my head throbbed painfully.
What was going on?
My heartbeat increased as I panicked.
I did the only thing that could calm me down at that moment.
I sang.
"Everyone thinks that I have it all,
But its so empty living behind these castle walls,
These castle walls.
If I should tumble, if I should fall,
Would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls,
There's no one here at all,
Behind these castle walls.
No body knows I'm all alone,
Living in this castle made of stone,
They say that money is freedom but I feel trapped inside it all,
And while I sit so high up on the throne,
I wonder how I can feel this low
On top of the world it's beautiful but there's no place to fall."
From panicked I went to sadness.
Why did I choose this song?
It's the first one that came to my mind.
I was supposed to sing it with my friend today at the fund raiser.
I felt every word of it.
Now that I felt less panicked I thought about what happened.
I fainted, that's for sure.
The thing is that it's becoming very frequent.
This isn't the first time I have felt pain.
But it's the first time I have felt pain to such a magnitude.
I don't know what they mean.
I tried getting out of bed but a voice stopped me.
"I told you that you should've stayed in bed today and now I'm not going to sit here and let you repeat your mistakes again."
Edward was here? Sitting there and listening to me sing?
"You have a beautiful voice by the way." He said making me blush.
I looked at him and he sat at his usual spot.
"How do you feel now?" he said, his voice becoming softer, as if he knew what was happening.
"Honestly?" I said.
He nodded.
"Horrible" I sighed and fell back in bed.
"Let me get the Doc."
"Okay"
I lay there and suddenly I closed my eyes and screamed at the intensity.
It was like I could hear everything that was going on in one go.
I could hear things from miles away and it gave me a massive head rush.
From the horses to the maids talking to EVERYTHING.
I even heard a whisper that sounded like Edward talking on the phone saying "abort mission she's too weak"
I was too consumed with the voices in my head to pay any heed to what he meant.
By the time the doctor came followed by Edward I had my head in my hand and it rested on my knees.
I heard a gasp and looked up to see everything around me floating in air.
Were these floating due to my powers?
I hadn't told anyone that I had started doing weird stuff.
Like lighting fire from nothing, burning things, I had even caused a rainstorm once and I could control thunder, I had started becoming more powerful, stuff like that.
Now I could make things float?
I had a secret journal that my dad had left me and I had been practicing from it.
Spells and all that.
I hadn't been awoken yet.
I wasn't supposed to posses any power.
I was scared to tell anyone.
The doctor looked shocked and as my eyes flickered to my full length mirror.
I gasped as I saw my red eyes.
This was too much to take in.
I felt another spasm of pain in my head.
I closed my eyes and I don't know how but a tear escaped without my consent.
"Are-are you getting your powers?" the doctor asked.
"Yes" my voice cracked in pain.
"Your going to die." He said simply.
"What?" Me and Edward said at the same time but in different tones.
I whispered it in a more shocked way and he shouted it in a more angry way.
"Unless your awaken so you're strong enough to handle the powers you get."
"But.." I started unable to form a coherent sentence in my brain.
"You're supposed to be stronger than the rest of us. Your powers are seeking ways to come out of you, your body can't handle it. And for you to keep on trying to control them and polish them or practice them is like making the process faster thus making your death come closer than it would."
I took a deep breath feeling even weaker than before.
I was struggling to keep my eyes open.
The room started spinning again.
"Are you okay?" asked Edward from where he stood behind the doctor.
"No.. The rooms spinning again-"
Before I could say anything else I heard someone rush into the room
"We're under attack!"
My eyes closed. I couldn't do anything.
The last thing I heard was Edward's smooth voice "I promise I will keep you safe."
The last thing I felt was Edwards soft yet hard, cold yet warm arms envelope me and I left the comforting of my bed.
Review, otherwise no update!
