Moments after she said she would return; she vanished in a blink of an eye leaving behind a cloud of dust.
I was there by myself with just my thoughts.
Though any I had were clouded by the pain that racked my head.
I attempted to sit up, but that only made the pain worse. I laid my head back down and closed my eyes trying to ignore the pain.
Just as the pain was beginning to subside, the sound of the Dark One teleporting rang in my ears.
I opened my eyes to see her approaching. She was holding a tray, on it was a bowl, some bread, and a small paper package.
She placed the tray on a nearby table and then approached me. With a small flick of her risk, several pillows on the bed began to float in the air. I felt my body gently sit up as if an invisible force was supporting my back and another was pulling me forward.
One by one the pillows moved into place behind me supporting me in an upright position.
After the force I felt vanished, and my body sank backward.
"Alright now," the Dark One said.
