Hey dearies,
I'm a bit sick so things have been slow...
Funny enough winter and spring is the only two time I ever get sick...
Haha...enjoy
"Elizabella, wake up please?" I groaned at the distraught voice of the queen. I tried blinking my eyes open but the light was very bright. I brought a hand up to block the light.
"Close the curtains!" She told whoever was with her and I sighed happily as the light went away.
"Eliza?" I turned my head to the voice.
"Hmm?" Was all I could master.
"Can you open your eyes please?"
"But I'm tired," I wined. There was a soft giggle.
"Please for me?" I groaned and opened one eye.
"Good enough, you need to eat then you can go back to sleep okay?" She said and I nodded before sitting up.
"How long was I out?"
"A week..." I stared at the queen. She had circles under her eyes and she looked tired herself.
"That long? Wow...I'm so sorry for worrying you my Queen," I apologized and she shook her head.
"I evaded you for a week and I staid by you for a week, that is not enough to make up for what you must have gone through," I looked away. The pain in my chest returned.
Oh yea...
"Doesn't matter my Queen, the Kingdome is more important...your own health is more important," I said and moved the plate of food on the trey on my lap to the queen. She stared at me.
"I won't eat unless you do," I said and she sighed. I smiled as she took a bite and I took one as well.
So that's how we ate...bite for bite. When the plate was empty and we were satisfied with the others intake of food I laid back down on the bed.
"What were you dreaming about?" I looked at the queen confused.
"You mumbled in your sleep and at one point you had a very high fever, I had to use my powers to cool you down," I searched through my sleepy mind and only one thing came to mind.
"Four horsemen," I said looking at the queen. She frowned.
"Four horsemen...a garden...ugh can't think too tired," my eyes closed and I fell asleep. The mattress sank beside me as the Queen rested her arms and head to take a much needed rest as well.
I let out a happy sigh as I snuggled deeper into the softness of my pillow while tightening my grip on my blanket. Something tickled my nose, probably an escaping goose feather from the pillow. I huffed, but it came back with friends. I pulled my head to the other side and sneezed before dropping back onto the pillow like I was dead.
I inhaled and the smell of roses made my eyes snap open. There in front of me was the source of my sneeze. The Queen's lush hair and we were holding hands.
Uh...
I sat up quickly and stared down at the sleeping Queen.
That cannot be comfortable.
I stood, all be it shaky and with strength I should not possess, I picked the Queen up and placed her on the bed. I then took her place on the chair and winched.
How'd she sit in this for a week?
Disregarding the un-comfy monstrosity, I stretch out my stiff limbs and let out a long yawn. I was nowhere near ready to be about, but the Queen was more important.
The door opened and I motioned the nurse to keep quiet and she nodded placing a tray of food and drinks on the desk beside the bed. I downed the water before leaning onto the bed with my elbows to look at the serene face of my Queen. A smile formed on my face as I noticed a light dusting of almost invisible freckles over her nose and cheeks.
Like a snow leopard.
Deadly yet, elegant.
She looked so innocent.
How had people thought she was a monster?
"Your powers are magnificent," I whispered as I stroked a stray silver strand from her forehead.
"You're magnificent," I added and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Hmm...
Her skin is chilly...
Could it be from her powers?
I pulled away as she stirred.
"Hey sleepyhead," I smiled as she blinked her eyes open. She stretched and let out a yawn. She looked like a kitten waking up. After a few seconds she frowned and looked around.
"Why am I in bed?" She asked.
"Well my Queen, I woke up and you looked a bit un-comfy so I put you into bed," I smiled. She sighed but gave a small smile.
"You didn't need to do that," she whispered and sat up.
"Like I said my Queen, your health is more important," I smiled and took the food off the desk.
"Let us eat shell we?" I asked handing her a fork. She chuckled and we ate again bite for bite.
"Anna said you wanted to resign," my fork stopped half way to my mouth.
"Yes...I did say that," I put my fork down.
"Why?" I looked into the queens sad eyes.
"I have my reasons," I whispered and looked away.
"W...well do you still want to resign?" My eyes flickered back to the Queens when her voice trembled.
"I...don't think so," I breathed and relieve flashed threw her eyes. I blinked dropping my eyes to her hand on mine.
"I would like if you'd stay Elizabella," my heart tried escaping my throat with its beating and all I could do was gulp and nod.
"Yes my queen I will stay," I breathed out.
It felt like I had just run a marathon.
Well a short...ish? one...
Hope this will do till I either get better or plow through the sickness...
