Here it is folks, the moment you've all been waiting for.
___________________________________

When Anne got up a few hours after her "morning nap" she realised that her neck had been bandaged. She also realised that Catherine was laying with her, just watching TV. Anne didn't want this to end; so there she layed, just pretending to sleep, hoping Catherine wouldn't notice.

About 20 minutes went by before Catherine realised that Anne was awake. "Good Morning Anne."
Anne jumped slightly.
"Mornin' Cath"
Anne sat up.

Catherine looked at her, she looked dead inside and out.
"Anne.. if you don't mind me asking, what was the nightmare about last night."

Anne flinched. "Just a threat from henry. Hopefully an empty one at that." She nervously laughed, trying not to think about it. Catherine nodded, "want to talk about it?" Anne shook her head.

"Maybe later. For now, breakfast and movie?" Cath smiled, nodded and then picked Anne up so she could take her to the kitchen for breakfast.
They decided on eggs, pancakes and some bacon.

Anne fried some eggs, only breaking the yolk twice. Cath had taught Anne how to cook a few types of egg, they both enjoyed the experience (except for that one time that Anne got hit in the eye with oil) and it meant Anne could cook a proper meal for herself if she needed to. After they made breakfast, they sat on the sofa in the living room, watching tangled and eating breakfast.

2 hours pass.

It's time..

Anne walked into Cath's room. She was going to tell her about the threat. She needed to know. "Hey.. Cath?" She waved Anne in, attached to a book.
"Can.. can I tell you something?"
She placed her bookmark at her page and put her book down on the nightstand. "Of course, come take a seat." Anne sat down on the bed, across from her.

"What do you want to talk about, Annie?" She looked concerned.

Anne took a deep breath.
"It's about the threat." Catherine said nothing, but made a gesture for Anne to continue speaking.

"When he forced me to go out with him, it was terrible but it got way worse...about a month in he looked at me and said 'if you ever leave me, I'll slit your throat' I've been terrified ever since. The nightmares haunt me. I wake up and my neck burns, and I can't help but think 'what if he does!?'. Catherine. He wants to kill me. He gave kat the same threat, and kat said that Cathy got the threat but he said that it was a joke. He didn't say it was a joke for me or kat. And I'm scared. So so scared!"

Cath takes a minute to process. Once she does she doesn't look happy, but she puts her anger aside for a little while to make sure Anne is okay.

"Hey, it'll be okay. I won't let him do anything to you. I will always be here, I'll protect you no matter what. Even if I give my life for you to survive. Because, Anne, I love you more than anything and I can't let you die. You'll live a long healthy life, even if I don't. I love you Anne Boleyn."

Anne moves over to Cath and climbs into her arms.

"I love you to. And nothing will ever stop that. I appreciate everything you have done for me."
