The Princess' Knight

Chapter 4

Blitz grunts and groans as he slowly opens his eyes, and feels. His eyes slowly open as he begins to look around to find himself no longer in Loo Loo Land. Instead, he finds himself in a white room of some kind with at least two chairs around, and a couch. He slowly turns his head to see a window with black curtains, slightly open to let some light inside. He soon looks to see an IV tube with a needle connected to the median cubical vein of his right arm. The tube is connected to a blood bag and a bag of saline on an IV pole. He soon notices that he has a cast on his right arm.

Blitz slowly turns his head as he softly asks, "Wha-what happened...? Where am I?"

Just then, the door opens slowly and little Octavia steps inside. Blitz is surprised, but also too tired to really care.

Octavia smiles happily at the sigh of the awakened Blitz, "Blitz!"

She runs to the bed with a big smile and climbs on the bed to sit on the edge.

Octavia happily asks, "Hi Blitz. How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

"I-I think so. My body feels very sore," Blitz says, and lets out a yawn, "And I'm also very tired."

He groans with pain in her head. Then mutters to himself, "Not to mention my head feels like it's going to split open. Fuck, I feel like I was hit by a truck."

Octavia becomes sad to see Blitz is badly hurt, and the IV tube connected to Blitz's uncasted arm.

Blitz is able to smile and says, "I'm glad to see you're okay. What happened? And where am I?"

Octavia begins to explain, "You're at my house. You were badly hurt and you lost a lot of blood, so you were placed in one of the guest rooms and got one of our doctors to look at you. However, you kind of have two pictures on your ribs, your left arm, and your skull is slightly cracked, so you have a concussion. You also have some stab wounds, most of them will heal, but one of your bad is very deep that it will scar. According to the doctor, it was a miracle that you survived, but you'll have to be in bed for a while. At least around two months."

Blitz sighs in frustration, "Shit, I must have really gotten a bad beating from those guys."

Octavia nods her head in reply.

He sighs and says, "It looks like I won't be able to head home for a while."

"That's okay. My dad said that you'll be resting here until you heal. Besides, you're going to be living at my place from now on," Octavia says with a smile.

"Wait what?" Blitz says, confused.

"Well, I proclaimed you as a knight, so you'll be staying with us from now on. As a knight, you will be staying here and be my bodyguard." Octavia says.

"Are you sure it's a good idea? I have my own place to live, and uh, sure I'm not in the best condition to stay at home..." Blitz explains.

"Don't worry, you just worry about getting better. Once you get better, you can start working with my parents as our knight, protect our family, and " Octavia says.

"Uh, this is a little much to take in. I do appreciate the gesture but, this is a bit to take in after waking up," Blitz says, arching his eyebrow.

Octavia sadly says, "I'm still sorry about everything that happened."

"Don't be, it's not your fault. It's those thugs' fault that you almost got hurt, and whoever hired them to kidnap you," Blitz says.

Then Blitz asks, "Was your dad able to find out any information about those Imps?"

"Well, with all of them um, dead, there isn't much to go on. But based on what you and I said, my dad did agree to have it investigated," Octavia says.

"I guess you're right. I killed most of the gang, and your dad turned the other to stone and crushed him into pieces," Blitz says.
