WAKING UP WAS THE WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD.

It seems that my body was finally starting to react against me. I woke up with my lungs wrenching out of the air like I swallowed dust in the middle of the night. My throat felt like it had a thousand paper cuts and my lungs didn't feel much better. 

Once I was finished coughing, I groaned and lied back down, burying my head in the soft cushion. Once feeling my lungs ease for a bit, I lifted my head and noticed that none of my siblings were with me, meaning they must have woken up a long time ago. 

At that moment, Nathaniel entered with a few bottles at hand. Seeing that I was awake, he offered me a small soft smile, "Morning, Bells. How do you feel?"

Resting my head against the cushion, I closed my eyes as I felt another wave of pain, "How do you think?"

I heard Nathaniel chuckle before feeling a weight next to me. Opening my eyes, I met Nathaniel's freshly light golden eyes, meaning it wasn't long that he had fed. Tenderly, he touches my forehead and frowns, 

"You've got a bit of a fever," 

"I'm fine, Nathaniel," I croaked, followed by a grimace, but enjoying the sooth cold radiating from Nathaniel, "Lucy's cordial drop must have run out of my system. I had more internal damage than we imagine but I am fine."

Nathaniel gave me a look before kissing my forehead and standing up, "No you aren't. But I will pretend for your sake."

I smile before looking round, "Where is everyone?"

Lifting an empty bottle, Nathaniel fills it with a purple solution before mixing it with a blue one, "Well, Peter is with Caspian planning for the duel with Miraz. Edmund is with Glenstorm, seeing with the security around the How as none of us trust the Telmarines. Susan and Lucy are tending to Caspian's horse. You know how much they adore animals."

Humming, I slowly sat down and was about to stand from the bed when Nathaniel, with his speed, was with me in the next millisecond stopping me, "What do you think you are doing?"

I gave him a look, "Um, standing up?"

Nathaniel started 'tsk tsk' at me and pushed me back, "You aren't going anywhere. King's orders that you aren't allowed to move."

I arched my brow, "Whose, yours or my brothers? And I mean both of them."

Nathaniel smirked, "Well mine, of course, my Queen." I rolled my eyes as I crossed my arms to which Nathaniel started laughing, bells ringing throughout the room before he offered me a freshly hot potion, "Are you saying you are embarrassed as for the reasons why I am King? I am hurt, beautiful."
