Shattered Destiny

Lovers

*****

Amis POV

My arm hurts so bad, and I am so weak. I should have grabbed water... I've been awake for an hour, sitting here in torment.

Will he succeed? He must! I put so much pressure on him, but I believe in him.

Even if he never believes in himself... I just hate the pain he's enduring right now without me.

I know it killed him to see me like this... but I am 100% sure I convinced the king I will carry through exactly what I told him I will.

Small victories, are still victories...

I finally hear the door open. I fake being asleep and still as death in case the guard comes inside again...

Soon I will comfort you my love, stay strong...

"Ami!" My love cries out while shaking me gently.

My eyes shoot open as I see the state he's in already. Oh dear, this day has been too hard on you....

I grab his hand weakly and point to the door.

"Close and lock it love, quietly." I whisper.

He sighs in relief, and goes over closing and locking the door.

Then he rushes back over to me.

He holds my hand in his hands bringing it to his lips kissing them while he cries so hard.

Oh darling... they broke you again...

"Love get in bed." I say weakly.

I really need some water, but he needs me more right now...

I look and see the sheets have blood stains. Ugh I need to clean this too, but I'm too weak..

He gets in bed with me hugging me gently. Finally he's here...

"Have you been lying here this whole time?" He asks with his voice breaking.

I immediately take him into my arms holding him as tight as I can while I brush the hair out of his eyes "Yes love, I was asleep for most of the day, but I woke up an hour ago..."

My breathing's heavy. Damn I hate being so weak....

"My love, let me get you some water and clean this up. Please rest." He tells me sweetly.

"You probably need me worse right now love.." I say grabbing his hand weakly.

I close my eyes tears in my eyes because of the fever.. damn this is absolutely miserable.

"No, I see that you're alive that's enough for me. Let me help you." He says sweetly as he gets up.

He goes and grabs some water for me, and brings back a cloth to clean up the blood with a bucket of water.

He hands me the cup of water.

"Please drink, my love." He says firmly.

I smile, and grab the water drinking it within a minute. I am so parched...

"I should have kept water by me..." I say shyly.

"I guess that's me being reckless again." I say with a weak smile.

"Hey, don't blame yourself. It all happened so fast... We didn't have much time. I'll go get you some more." He tells me sweetly.

Then he goes back to the water, and fills the glass up bringing it back to me.

"Keep drinking. I'll clean this up." He tells me firmly.

I smile, as I take the water feeling much stronger.
