Part 25

POV: Thomas
Alice and I had some fun but then I saw her breathing really heavy. She didn't look good. "Alice, are you okay?" I asked but before she could respond she fainted I catch her ride on time. She was still breathing but when I felt her heartbeat it was slow. I carried her bride style and tried to go as fast as I could towards the castle. "I NEED A DOCTOR!" I yelled as soon as I stood step inside the castle. People looked shocked but when they saw Alice the hurried up. One of Alice' maids came to me and leads me towards our bedroom. I laid Alice down on our bed. She was very pale, she looked like a ghost. I sat beside her holding her hand making sure she was okay. I was panicking so hard, Alice' maids tried to calm me down but I was so worried. A couple minutes later the doctor came into the room. He started to do some tests and looked at her. After another couple of minutes he was done and looked at me. "She will be fine but when is the last time she eat?" He asked me I was shocked by the question. "Uhmm. This morning or else less night. Why?" I asked but before the doctor could answer one of Alice' maids spoke I thing Lily was her name. "I'm sorry sir, we were asked by Alice not to tell and we promised but we need to tell you now." She said and I could she the other maid looking at her that it is a bad idea. "What's going on?" I asked making sure Lily would finish before the other could stop her. "Princess Helena threatened her to lose weight. She told her that she had three choice. 1, To lose weight by herself. 2, The queen made sure she will lose weight or 3, to leave the kingdom. She only eat one apple this week because I forced her too. The last time she had a full meal was I think almost 3 weeks ago." She said, I was shocked at this story I need to say she looked very thin. The doctor and I looked at each other and he was just as shocked as I was.

The doctor made sure she was fine and then left. He told me that Alice could wake up any time now. The maids took care of her while I was sitting beside her holding her hand. The door opened and when I saw the person who came in I got very angry. My stepmother. "What are you doing here?" I asked trying to stay calm. Both the maids look terrified because they are the reason I know. "I want to see how the queen is doing." She said very innocent. "Get out!" I said not so calm anymore. "What's up with you?" She asked and she stepped closer towards Alice. "Don't. Come. Any closer." I warned her and she stopt where she was now. "You are the cause of this. she fainted because of you. She needed to lose weight from you. She stopped eating because of you. She almost died because of you." I said with tears in my eyes. She looked shocked like she had know idea how I found this out. "You threatened my wife and you are getting punished for that. Guards!" I yelled, my stepmother looked at the maids and started to understand how I knew this but before she could do something my guards were here. "Lock her up in the dungeons." I told them and they grabbed my stepmother and dragged her out of the room.

The maids kept on going with there jobs and I still sat beside Alice holding her hand. I looked at her and slowly she opened her eyes. "What happen?" She asked her voice sounded weak. She wanted to sit up but I stopped her and laid her back down. "You need to lay back. Everything is okay you fainted." I said and she looked very tired and confussed. "Alice, Lily told me everything about my stepmother and that you are not eating. Why didn't you tell me?" I asked and she looked worried, sadness in her eyes. "It's okay you can tell me. My stepmother is locked up she won't hurt you now." I told her and she sight. "I was afraid of her. I didn't know what she could do so I just did what she asked and not tell anyone. Lily and Clare found it out when the heard me and the queen talking." She said and looked a little embaressed. "I'm sorry." She said and I hugged her tight. "It's okay, I'm just glade your fine. But you need to eat something so I asked the cook to bake a chocolate cake." I said and she just smiled in relief I think she is happy that she can eat again.
