The final stage

Alanis

I open my eyes slowly and Beau's beautiful eyes stare back at me, with worry lines etched across his face. I don't know how long I have been out but he looks so stressed right now.

"Baby,'' he sits up over the bed and grabs my hand in his tightly. feeling his touch instantly calms me down.

"Fuck,'' I run my hand through my hair "How long was I out?'' I ask him, my voice shaking.

"Too long,'' he says, sadness evident in his voice. I look around the room but it is just the two of us. "Do you feel any pain,'' he asks me worriedly.

I take a deep breath as I try to remember what my body feels like. I cannot feel any pain or discomfort, I just feel weak. I look at Beau and all I can see now is worry and fear in his eyes. "No, I don't feel any pain or anything,'' I say, trying to make him feel better. he lets out a sigh of relief.

"I should go get Ogma,'' he says trying to let go of my hand but I grab him with all my strength.
