A High Fever

I open my eyes to the heavily. Looking around, I was in my room lying down in bed. The room was a little bit dark with only the light from the fire place illuminating the interior. I slowly sat up and felt that my body was heavy and in pain.

"Ouch." I made a silent cry from the ache that my body was feeling. My body must have sustained the bruises and wounds that I got from inside my mother's consciousness.

I hear the door creak open and a shadow of a woman was seen coming inside. When she was just a few feet away, I was able to see her face.

"Your highness." It came from Martha's voice. "I am so glad you are already awake."

Martha dashed towards my bedside instantly.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked her.
