Chapter 3 Part 13

After I talked to Ryan, about who might be the attacker, I couldn't get it out of my mind. Might be the girl that I dropped off the balcony this morning, Krasomila's sister? Does that mean it was also her that poisoned me?

'' Ahh! It's too much for my head! ''

I was in the Bathroom, not only this, but I was supposed to be changing. Instead of changing, I was sitting there flustered of how hard this all is.

- Chiyo… ARE YOU FINALLY DONE?! -

- Woah, calm down! -

- CALM DOWN?! YOU ARE ALREADY THERE FOR 2 HOURS! -

'' What?! 2 Hours?! ''

- Sorry… I'll be coming out soon! -

I could hear Ryan walking away. I put on the nice dress, Ryan gave to me. It was a cute dress, short, fluffy, yellow, with white details also to it came a butterfly hairpin. The dress really fitted summer. I still couldn't get over the fact, that I've hurt someone. I left the bathroom, with my hair wasn't brushed and the Hair clip in my hand. Ryan was sitting on his bed, hearing me, he looked at me.

- *Sigh* Come here. -

He was disappointed I could see it. I sat down on the floor, and he began brushing my hair. After he was done, he put in the Hair clip.

- Thank You! -

I smiled at him, he was surprised, and looked away quickly. In this very moment, I noticed how bloody the room was.

- Ryan… Why can't we clean up the room? -

I made big puppy eyes, Ryan looked at me.

- For proof. -

I could almost see the stars of greatness surrounding him. I smiled gently at him, to not make him worry. The thing was, I was scared of blood, but I think Ryan was already worried.

- Anyway, I'm going to go change into something more proper. -

He went to the bathroom, I stayed seated. Sitting was quite the mission, especially because the pain was immense. While I was fighting that Alcina, I was stabbed by the sword. I managed to heal myself, but the pain stayed, it burned. In this very moment, the pain became more unbearable. I kept my hand on the place where I was stabbed. I could feel the sweat running down my face.

'' Haaa… This hurts so much… It hurts… I hate it. ''

Tears ran down my face, the pain became bigger with every second. I could feel my own blood on my hands. The wound it began bleeding, really strongly, I was afraid I would bleed out. Everything became blurred as I lost consciousness.

- C… -

Someone's voice was calling, yet my senses were dull.

- … Chi…yo -

- Chiyo! -

My eyes slowly opened, I found Ryan's worried face staring at me. He was holding me in his arms.

- Chiyo… Why didn't you tell me, you got stabbed? You could have bled out just now! You made me so worried! Does it hurt much? I heard it's more painful for a Vampire to get stabbed by this sword than for a human, I was already in great pain! -

I couldn't move my entire body was in pain, even though Ryan bandaged the wound, it kept bleeding wildly. I began losing consciousness again, the last thing I heard was Ryan calling my name.

I woke up in a bed, it was warm. I felt less pain, than before. My senses began returning, and I could hear the voices more clearly. The voices, people were arguing. I recognized one of them; Ryan.

- But! Mother! Father! Please! -

- No! Ryan! This is important! -

- Is binding ties with a country really more essential than your own son?! Your own son's happiness?! -

- Ryan Clement! How dare you… -

- Honey, please, don't get mad at Ryan. He's our son! -

- You're lucky your mother likes you! -

The Man and the Woman left the room. Ryan breathed deeply, he then noticed I'm awake. He immediately came to me.

- Oh Chiyo, I'm glad you're alright! -

He held my hand.

- Ryan… How?.. -

- The Royal Saintess came here to heal me, while she was at it, I asked her to heal you too. -

I closed my eyes, I was enjoying the peace in my body.

- Idiot… -

He laughed.
