CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
I took one step after another, my breaths coming in short pants as the pain had spread all through my body by now, even to my toes. I could feel it everywhere but I tried to hold in my groans as my mother was getting more concerned and frustrated. She always knew what to do whenever any of us was sick or lacking anything but seeing as she couldn't do anything right now, I fear it might drive her crazy.
So I held it in as much as possible until I got them into a guest room close to Theresa's and she helped me into the elevator to ours. I'd always preferred the stairs as it helped wake me up properly but I would have gone crazy if I had to take a flight of stairs in this state.
When I got into the room, she came in with me and helped me prepare for bed, going as far as bathing me.
“Thank you so much, Tee. I'm sorry for earlier, I was angry at so many things and hurled it all at you and that was wrong. You're probably the only real friend I have in all of this chaos, I shouldn't be treating you like shit,” I said as she helped me settle into a comfortable position on the bed.
“It's okay, I understand where you were coming from. I gave you the impression that I was loyal to him before you, which I shouldn't be considering you're so much better than most women I interact with on this side of the world. But hey, if it helps, you are now the official Princess, the wedding is just a formality so my loyalty has been rearranged,” she said to me and I smiled, although I know it'll look like a grimace.
“That's okay. Go to bed, I've stressed you enough as it is.”
“I don't really mind but you need to sleep even if it'll be difficult. If he comes in here before you do, I don't think he'll be able to hold his ky’rhan when he gets back and you're awake,” she warned me.
“His what?”
“His ky’rhan. It's what we call the part of ABC’s and Moderates that scares everyone that isn't. His alien form according to you. That sounds funny by the way,” she chuckled as she finally left my side, her warning ringing a bell in my ear
How was I supposed to sleep with the pain my body felt?
I had probably turned around a dozen times in the last twenty minutes with no hope of sleep in sight
I couldn't even hold back the tears that began wracking my body and it wasn't just the physical pain.
This place has broken me into so many pieces and my journey has just begun.
*Trigger Warning*
What I hated most was how there seemed to be no escape from it. I saw the end of the road and it was just like the queen having no thoughts of her own, getting every one of her being from a king who she might not even have liked at the beginning. She couldn't even drink wine on her own for goodness sake!
I was confused, frustrated and as I continued to cry, my mind going over every possible scenario, I suddenly got an idea.
Of course there's an escape from all of this.
I got up and went to my make-up closet and I found what I was looking for.
A brand new razor
I'd seen this in a book somewhere and it made absolute sense. I wouldn't have to become a mindless drone. The queen was Zorvathian and yet she got treated like that so I don't imagine my situation would be any better considering I'm human
This way, I don't get to become a mindless zombie and the King won't get his all powerful son who will destroy our planet before they run back to theirs.
“Ah!” I shouted in shock as I cut a line on my right arm but the pain was little compared to what I'd been going through all night.
The blood wasn't flowing as much as I would have liked so I cut the left one too.
Then I lay there and finally, I smiled.
Maybe dying won't be such a bad idea.
*Continue 🌚*
But then I remembered my mom, my sister Anna, my Dad who had such high hopes for me and Rose. Oh Rose!
What if I could have made life easier for her with this new status I'd been given?
I began to cry again, this time, I felt an immense wave of guilt at how selfish I'd been. My life didn't just belong to me but everyone who loved me.
As I looked at my hands, I panicked but I didn't know how to stop it and gradually, my vision became blurry.
Suddenly, the door to the closet burst open and although I couldn't see who it was, I heaved a sigh of relief as they lifted me off the ground.
"Doctor! Theresa!" he screamed but it sounded so far away.
"You stupid girl, stay awake! Don't you dare close those eyes," he shouted at me this time but I struggled to obey his words.
"Open your eyes, Tessa!" he shouted again but this voice wasn't his completely and I obeyed without thinking.
Well, I guess the mind control thing had it's uses
Maybe I'll get a second chance.
