one last chance
Michael's POV
It has been 2 days now and nothing Sabrina has tried has worked. I haven't slept properly in 2 days. I know that everyone is worried about me.
In Mia's absence I have been crowned king. Sabrina argued with the highest court that since I was to marry Mia and be king anyway that there is no harm in crowning me early before the ceremony, pointing out that while Mia is under going treatment the realm needed someone to rule.
But being king isn't what I wanted. I wanted to marry Mia and live out my days with her. I know I'm a vampire and that I can't die of old age or even grow old but that won't stop me from spending all my days with Mia.
I know that many people have been wondering about how that will work. Rumors have spread around the kingdom about what will happen when Mia grows up and I do not. However I don't care what they say cause Mia is the one I love and when she returns and we get married everyone else will see that too.
"My lord are you ok?" A voice snapped me out of my trance.
I was in the throne room and the head guard was in front of me. I looked at him puzzled.
"When did I come here? I was in my room." My voice sounded scratchy and foreign. Like it wasn't mine at all.
"My lord please let me escort you back to your chambers you are not well." The guard stepped forward but I held up my hand.
"I need to see her. I haven't seen her in 2 days. She needs to know that I still love her. I haven't abandoned her. I won't ever." I felt the tears fill my eyes and drip down my face. I reached up to wipe them away and felt something itchy on my face. "When did I start growing a beard?" I asked out loud.
Sabrina tried the electoral solution to get Dalton and Mia connected again and it worked for a while but after a few hours something went wrong. Dalton had been absorbed into Mia and he was trying to heal her from the inside but further analysis showed that Mia had a bleed on her brain that even Dalton couldn't fix.
I remember how my heart felt crushed as Sabrina told me that Mia won't wake up. How the bleed had made her in a vegetated state. How I wasn't going to see her eyes again and worst of all how Dalton was trapped in there too.
"Please my lord let me take you to the doctor you are ill." The guard took my arm and pulled gently and I followed him.
I didn't see where we were going and I didn't care. The only thing I saw was her face. She was looking up at me and smiling as if she knew something I didn't. Her eyes were bright like they always were back in our house when I had cooked her favourite dinner or helped out in the garden. I loved when she blushed and giggled like she would when we had the firepit at night and she'd lie her head on my shoulder.
I want to go back to that time. Before Derrick, before Offtrender and before we were royals. To when it was just Mia Dalton and I. Not once did I feel as if Dalton was the third wheel if anything he was my brother and my best friend. He always protected Mia in a way that I couldn't even when he was under mind control.
And now I'll never be able to thank him. I'll never be able to see her smile again, or hold her as she falls asleep after a long day.
"Michael?" I blinked and looked up to see Sabrina was there. Tears were staining my cheeks and I heard the beeping behind her. Mia. "Why did you bring him here?" She asked and I saw the guard was still by my side.
"I didn't." He sounded scared and breathless. "I was trying to take him to the doctor when he started to say 'Mia' over and over. Next thing I knew we were being sped here."
"He used his speed and strength to come to see her." Sabrina's face softened. She reached out and touched my arm but I felt nothing. She gently pulled me closer and hugged me.
My arms went round her and the moment I made contact I broke down. All the tears came out and I fell to my knees. Sabrina said nothing she waved her hand to dismiss the guard and held me ask cried.
"M...mic... Al..."
I stopped and looked up. Sabrina was white as a sheet and she turned round to face a gurney in the corner. I could hear the machine beeping and deep breaths breathing in and out. The machines were the only thing keeping her alive.
Sabrina walked over to the gurney and I stood as best as I could onto my feet. I stumbled over to Mia and my heart broke to see her once bright face, covered in wires and tubes. The light seeming to have left her making her look pale and almost dead. I reached out and took her hand. It was too cold. Almost as cold as mine.
"Say that again." Sabrina turned and looked at me. "What you just said say it again."
"I didn't say anything." I crocked out.
"You did something about her hand."
"I said that out loud? I was just thinking that her hand was as cold as mine."
"That's it. Your blood your a vampire you have to turn her." Sabrina said.
"Bu.. But you said my blood wouldn't work." I ran my hand through my hair. Man I really need to shower.
"It wouldn't for the stab wound but it can for the tumor. The bleeding from the stab wound was internal in her lungs but Dalton fixed that. The bleeding on her brain isn't like that. You blood can heal her now but you have to do the full conversion. You might heal her but there's nothing to say that it won't come back if she's human but vampires can't get brain tumors or anything really."
I was at a loss for words. I could save her but it means having to take away her humanity.
"What about Dalton? He's in Mia if I turn her we'll lose him too."
"I can perform a spell that will force Dalton to take on his true physical form. Entities are meant to take the form when the daughter is 2 but Dalton didn't and the form he did take on earth wasn't his."
"If your sure this will help and that I can get my fiance and my brother back then ok."
"I promise." Sabrina looked at me with wide eyes and I looked at my wrist.
"Do it."
Sabrina immediately started chanting and holding her hand over Mia and I bit into my wrist allowing the blood to drip out.
Here goes nothing.
