Chapter 13

YOUR POV

Once Violet was gone, I tried to move. The stinging pain in my leg slowed my movements. However, I managed to move off the bed and over to the door.

The sound of me opening the door alerted the two guards at the door.

"My Queen! Please return to bed. You mustn't move much." One said. The other grabbed my arm and held onto my back, helping me stand.

"If I stay in the room for much longer, I'll go crazy. I just need to get up and stretch. Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. Just to the railing." I say and the guards help me to the railing. They both keep me in their grip, making sure I don't fall. I couldn't stand beimg I that room for much longer. Especially not alone.

"Mommy!!!" I hear Violet yell. I look over to find Violet sitting on one of Nightmare's coiled apprendages.

"(Y/N)? What are you doing out here? You need to stay in bed. Resting." Nightmare said, walking towards me.

"I needed a moment. Any longer in that room alone and I would've gone crazy." I say. A second later, he put Violet down a d came over to me. Then he picked me up. "Huh?! Ah! Nightmare?! I can manage on my own! There's no need to pick me up!" I say flustered.

"You cannot walk. I will carry you. Anywhere you want to go, just send word and wait. I will carry you." He said. I can't lie. I felt my cheeks get red.

Nightmare turned to Violet. "Violet. I had a room prepared for you. The guards will escort you and we'll see you in the morning." He said.

"Alright. Goodnight Mommy, Daddy." She said. Giving us both a hug. Then she followed one of the guards down the hall.

"'Morning'? 'Goodnight'? Exactly what time is it?" I asked.

"Bed time. Its late in the night. I'm surprised you don't remember how to tell time here."

"I've lived in a town that had sunlight for five years. Its always dark here so forgive me for forgetting that."

Nightmare chuckled. "Still as sassy as ever." He said as he carefully set me on the edge of the bed. He carefully lifted my injured leg. "I'm gonna change your bandage. This may sting for a bit. Please bare with it." He says. I nod.

He began taking off the old bandage. I look at my wound. It was stitched up. I wasn't going to ask who did it. Error was the only one who could sew. It wasn't surprising he knew how to suture a wound.

Nightmare took a washcloth and soaked it with Hydrogen peroxide and carefully cleaned my skin around the wound and capped the wound. I hissed a bit when he did that. After that, he rewrapped my leg.

"Feel better?" He asked. I nod. Then I yawned.

"Yes. And now, I'm still tired." I say. Nightmare carefully moved my leg as I lay back down. Then he covers me with a blanket. "Thanks."

"I'll be working for another hour or two longer. I still have paperwork to do." He said. "Will you be okay alone?" I was slightly confused on why he was being to nice to me. Was it because I'm injured and he can't have his way with me yet? No.. that's not it.

"I'll be fine. Go." I said. Then I turned abd snuggled into the sheets.
