CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR
It was terrifying.
The previous time, the fall was over quickly and I blacked out for a while before I woke up.
But this time, it was like I was falling down into a dark hole, the voice laughing at me from the top.
It was as if I was not even moving but still, I felt myself falling endlessly.
I reached out and felt walls around me.
My hand went to my stomach and I stopped screaming. I imagined I was one of those crazy ky’rhans that indulged in skydiving while we were on earth and I had a parachute somehow attached to my back.
I gradually freed my mind of the fear, the terror, the anger and the emotional pain.
The more positive energy I drew into my mind, the lighter the darkness felt.
It was gray around me and still brightening up but it seemed something was holding me back.
“What do I need to let go of?” I wondered out loud.
And then it occurred to me.
My heart was still with Xavier and this power was attached to him too. If I wanted to proceed, to escape this hell, it just made sense to forgive him.
So I did; well gradually anyway. I'd spent the last few hours days or weeks, I have no idea how long that was, going through those memories of him hurting me.
So I focused on the possibility of him being better because he'd proven he was kind inside. No matter what imperfections he had around him, he was kind inside and I could forgive him.
And with my new powers, I was sure he'd never be able to hurt me again even if he wanted to.
I literally just nearly sacrificed myself for him too so that should count for something, right?
Hopefully.
I knew we could be perfect together, a power couple of sorts. Him being in charge of the ky’rhans and I taking care of my people too just like I had planned at the beginning of our relationship.
So that's what I'll demand once I stop falling in this bottomless pit and actually wake up.
The gray was turning white as I smiled now, imagining all the ways we could raise our child to be kind and adventurous, changing the status quo and making the best out of his world.
I bet he'd be so powerful with the both of us as his parents.
I wished my parents were here to see what was happening but I consoled myself with the thought of seeing them in five years.
Suddenly, I started hearing arguments, the sound was faint but the words were clear.
Xavier was angry.
“It's been two weeks!” He yelled out in frustration. “If you can't wake her up, tell me and I'll get someone else to look at her. You're not the only qualified doctor on this ship!”
“But your highness, I'm the only one completely aware of her body and how it works. You can't just bring in someone else now. Just give it time, she'll wake up. We've done our best, okay? See, I'll give her the injections again,” Fanny said and I panicked. I'd just defeated the effects of the one he'd sent me to earlier and he wants to do it again?
Hell no!
“Xavier!!!” I screamed, hoping my mind would reach out to his, we were connected after all. “Xy'thern!! Help! Don't let him inject me with anything please!!”
“Wait, you want to give her another injection?” Xavier asked the doctor with a frown.
“Yes, Your Majesty. That should speed up the healing process. Thoraya, stop staring at his Majesty and get me the injection.” He commanded the nurse and I was panicking. I couldn't see anything but pure white and I wish I could just wake up before this nightmare began again.
“You want to give her an overdose?” Xavier asked, his anger giving way to confusion.
“Of course not, we're just making sure her body has enough nutrients to recuperate. You can go now, she's in good hands,” Fanny said with a dismissive tone.
But it seemed he'd forgotten that whatever he was about to inject me with, Xavier had had it in his system before.
As I heard the nurses feet shuffling closer to me, I heard Xavier walk in my direction as well. I couldn't see anyone but I felt their energy wherever they stood.
Fanny was close to the door as if he was ready to run if there was a slight chance of him getting in trouble
“Thoraya, let me see that,” Xavier commanded the nurse.
She stood still, shock and fear emitting from all her pores.
My fear switched to excitement. I couldn't wait for Xavier to discover what was in that syringe and save me from whatever hell he was about to put me in.
“I won't repeat myself twice,” he called, his voice very low but deadly.
I could even feel the fear in her bones.
Gradually, she handed it over to him, her hands trembling.
“Your highness, I…” the doctor began but couldn't finish his sentence.
“Fanny?” He called, his voice still having that eerie calmness but I'd seen him in action before. He was more than livid.
“Yes your Majesty,” Fanny choked out, his voice filled with tears.
“Fanny, why does whatever is in this syringe smell familiar? Zyx, get me another doctor immediately,” he commanded and moved towards the place where Fanny stood while Zyx ran out to obey his instructions.
“I.. I” he stammered and then proceeded to wet his pants.
I could hear the drop and the smell of the hot piss as he was enveloped with fear.
It was ridiculous that he'd stood by the door to be able to run but now was paralyzed by fear.
“You have a great chance to explain this to me, okay? Maybe I'm jumping into conclusions and this isn't the undiluted version of Nexarion that was used to test me for my coronation. Maybe this is something else, Fanny. Talk to me. What have you been injecting into my wife?!” He screamed the last part, finally losing his cool.
“I'm sorry! I'm sorry!!” He begged, falling to the ground and began crying.
None of this made sense to me. I'd expected him to burst out in some villainous speech about his true purpose or whatever but he was wailing like a child, incoherent and unable to say what caused this nonsense.
“Thoraya, find a way to wake my wife up in the next five minutes or I'm throwing you off this ship!”
