Fallen - 6

A touch, a mere touch upon the scrape of my throat. A foreign object shoved roughly against my neck and buzzed with ominous intent. But there was a reason that I did nothing, that I let the man do his thing.

And it was for the simple reason that I trusted that the family would do nothing to severely harm me, and so too would their doctors. Not with the scary guard who watched for anything.

I could only tell that she was there through the corner of my eye but she still fiercely protected me. The orb that signified her soul blazed with righteous flames. And with each passed moment she stood even closer to me.

I merely smiled as I felt a trickle of divine power fall through my throat and heal it.

"It'll take a few days but it'll be right as rain as long as he doesn't take too much damage to his throat or areas around it." The man said, his voice gruff, almost as gruff as he sounded. And with a small smile I leaped from the bed I was confined to.

I stumbled for a moment all while my hand snaked out to the nearest object I could reach. Which just happened to be the knight that had escorted me here.

"I got you" She whispered into my ear and I nodded, a smile showing my gratefulness.

Of course once I had found my balance I let go of her and followed after her.

Merely voicing a small 'lead the way'.

After that I took careful steps and followed after her with as much caution as I could afford without compromising any of my own safety.

It was fun, even if it was short. The freedom to walk on my own, without being hovered over by some concerned person.

She actually let me be me, to walk and prance about no matter how likely it was that I would fall. And each time I did fall and stumble to the floor she merely laughed along with me before she helped me back to my feet.

It was enjoyable. And so, when I was finally placed on the bed, I found myself with a loosened smile. One that was reluctant to part with the kind knight that had escorted me here.

My mouth opened to say something before the creaking of a door disturbed me. The same creaking that had occurred when I had opened it myself. And in came Abigail. I could tell by the size of the orb, the look and feel of it.

"Dismissed, the lady would like to speak with you, make haste" She said, her voice rough against the soft name she had been given.

The knight hurried from the room, but not before she took a second to do something, what it was, I did not know. But it seemed to agitate Abigail as she tapped her foot on the ground.

Audible enough to tell me that she was annoyed. And so I nodded my head at the orb and let her go. No matter how reluctant it sounded like she went.

"You" Abigail practically growled out. Her hand stroked at my chin and even if I could not see, I still attempted, to my best effort, to look into her eyes. Even if it turned blank and disturbing.

But to my surprise she did not say anything more, merely roughy grasped the back of my shirt and discarded it to the floor. 

And the next thing I knew I was being snuggled to her chest. My hand above and below her body. Pinned to her and the bed beneath us both.

I blinked, once twice, and hoped for the situation to change.

And I did get my gift, but not how I would have liked it. She took the initiative once again and I felt my body pushed against hers once more.

Yet this time was different. Her bare breasts played against my own chest and her mouth suckled over my cheek. Like some sort of babe that longed for its mothers milk.

I did not know what to do, and so, I simply went limp and with it closed my own eyes. In a desperate attempt to forget what had happened and sleep.

…

…

…

I woke to the crush of my body, a force greater than my own held me tightly to their bosom. 

There was a moment where I felt myself lost, a sense of disquiet that seemed to grow stronger with every waking moment I gave it.

Yet then, a gentle squeeze, as if my blight had been understood. I knew it had not been, but the rough comfort that she gave to me. It was still comfortable.

And so, with a sigh, I claimed a space in my heart for her. No matter how rough she was, just that gentle gesture was enough to show me her sincerity.

Maybe I was naive, of all the subjects of relationships. But I knew, that if we were to be together then some amount of trust would need to be allowed to them.

And so, with a gasp of exertion I pushed with all of my muscle, and with the push I finally rid myself of the massive weight on my chest.

I smiled and rolled over to the side pillow, but before I could sleep again I found myself pushed off the bed.

"Wa!" I yelled and suddenly I was wide awake.

Then after a moment I just giggled. It seemed that someone was a grumpy head in the morning. But that was fine, I was learning new things about them every day. A new fact, a new perspective. It was quite fun.

I felt a hand wrap around mine and I looked up to the orb in front of me, its kindness and all encompassing light. I smiled and a whisper reached my lips.

"Can we go explore the city, please?" I used my most deadly weapons, according to my sister at least, my puppy dog eyes.
