Her

Chapter Twenty Six

I really thought I was dead. I truly believed it. Everything went black, and I could no longer see or hear anything. It seemed like forever. I remember dying in Klaus's arms. But it turns out, I wasn't even dead. It was more of a deep sleep, but it was a sleep that I couldn't get out o or wake up from. I was stuck in the blackness of my mind but with a conscious at least. I didn't know what was happening to me. Whatever was in that arrow, it should've killed me, but it didn't.

I lay there buried under the ground feeling the blankets wrapped tightly around my own body. I knew they were blankets. I was aware of my surroundings. I should've been struggling and gasping for air, but I wasn't. I wasn't even breathing. While stuck inside my own thoughts unable to wake up or force my eyes open, I heard a few footsteps and I had this gut instinct it wasn't Klaus or Alec. It had been someone else.

But there wasn't anything I could do. I heard them digging until they seen the hat I was wrapped in. Gentle arms grabbed my body and picked me up as if my weight were nothing. I was being carried on this person's shoulder ever so carefully. What seemed like forever, I heard a vehicle door open as I was gently placed inside. They didn't even bother to uncover my face but then again to them I'm dead.

Hours went by and the vehicle suddenly came to a hault. They got out of the vehicle and opened up the back door or truck door, because I had no idea where they actually had put me and gently lifted my body and carefully placed me on their shoulder again and began walking. I could hear a bunch of voices and whispers as we went inside wherever I was.

"It wasn't easy to find her your Grace and Milady. But we found her." A dark male voice spoke. He then ripped the blankets off of me and a bunch of gasps broke out everywhere. "Get her cleaned up please. She looks like a mess. Also attend to that wound she has afterwards. When you're done with that, take her to her room please. We will be up to see her after that." The queen spoke. "Yes Milady.

I was in some sort of castle. At least that's what it seemed like. Here I thought such things didn't exist anymore, after all it's the 20th century. I could hear the bath water shut off just before I got carted into there. I felt them strip me and put me into the water. The water wasn't deep, but I suppose since I'm not awake, they have to wash me.

They were gentle with my body washing it along with cleaning my hair and brushing it. After that they pulled me from the tub and I felt them dress me. After that I was carried into a room where they put me down and covered me up. Then I heard the King and Queen walk in. "She looks so much better. It's so much easier to see her face. I haven't seen it since she was just merely a baby." I heard the Queen say.

I slowly started becoming a lot more conscious little by little, but I still could move, talk, or open my eyes and I wanted to do badly. I wanted to know why I was kidnapped, or rather my body was grave robbed, and why they had been so gentle and careful with my body. I wanted to know why they came looking for me. I also wanted to know what their intentions were with me.

"She's grown into such a beautiful woman my love." The King said to his wife. "She has indeed." She says smiling at him as they kissed but only for a moment. "Sorry to interrupt but shouldn't she have awoken by now your Grace and Milady?" One of the guards asked. "Yes, but she might need something to help her." The King says pulling a vile from his pants pocket and hand it to his wife. She then opened up Clair's mouth and dumped the red liquid into her mouth as it traveled down into her throat and spread throughout her entire body.

I felt an entire strange sensation throughout my entire body. I couldn't explain it, but slowly I was able to move my body. I could feel my feet, legs, arms, hands, everything. I then started to wake up more consciously and felt my eyes twitch. But my heart remained the same, it still didn't beat. My eyes twitched more and more until they shot open. I looked at the ones who had me taken from my home.

They started producing tears in both of their eyes and I was absolutely confused of my surroundings and confused of who they were aside from knowing they're the King and Queen, and why they looked at me with such joy and tears. The Queen grabbed my hand and rubbed it gently and gave me a sweet smile.

"Welcome home Edith. We know you go by Clair, but Edith is the name we gave you when you were born into my arms." The Queen said as I stared at the both of them. With that I passed back out from the state of shock that I had just now been in. It made no sense to me.

Sorry for the short chapter guys, but hope you enjoyed it!!! (:
