His Servant (Dune)

|TWENTY FIVE|

Feyd-Rautha followed Paul to the palace of sand. My face was hidden under an orange Bene Gesserit shaul decorated with desert items representing what kind of Reverend mother we have. The room began to fill with fremen, everyone had their eyes on Paul and Feyd as they adjusted their armor and removed their shields.

they picked out their weapons getting ready to fight.

The baron was dead, so I knew Feyd would be fighting for the throne. He wanted it and was always willing to do anything for it. All that money, that power, every mmm since I met him his goal was to take over the Harkonnen throne.

Lady Jessica stood by my side but reluctantly. I could tell her mind was on her son, and how he needed to stay alive.

I watched Feyd stand and mock Paul as they readied themselves to fight.

Everyone in the room was silent waiting.

My lungs didn't seem to be working properly, I was absolutely terrified. When I went to wipe my eyes trying not to cry I accidentally swept the shaul.

Feyd at that exact moment looked to the side and saw my face. For a second I could see the relief in his knowledge I was alive, but then he covered it and turned to face his opponent.

They struck at the same time moving in an almost rhythmic motion. I was gasping for air now watching, never blinking.

They were both very dedicated fighters, neither one was gonna give up. Even though I was scared out of my mind I couldn't take my eyes off them. Wether I wanted to stare Feyd's face and never look away, or I was scared he would die. 

The tears were falling thickly down my face and I almost cried aloud with relief when Feyd stabbed Paul.

The room seemed to be made of ice. The only person I cared about in that room,
feyd-Rautha. Turned to look at me. He gave a small reassuring smile, then as if in slow motion I saw Paul pull the knife out of his body and turn it on Feyd.

My mouth reacted before my mind and I let out a cry as I saw the knife being driven into him. He fell to the floor and I ran over to him.

Kneeling down I heard the room begin to cheer, I held Feyd and rubbed his head as he blinked trying to talk.

"I love you Nanali."

Tear as were streaming down my face as I whispered to feyd how much love I felt for him.

His beautiful face looked up at me, his eyes were sparkling and he slowly raised his arm and touched my stomach.

The cheering in the room was deafening which muted my sobs. He mumbled something that I could barely hear over the noise.

"Don't be sad, it'll be ok."

And with his eyelids fluttering he finally closed them, and his body went limp...

I froze, my mind couldn't process what was happening. The noises seemed to quit down as I stared blankly at the father of my child, laying dead on the floor.

I heard a voice speak behind me. Paul Atreides spoke in fremen, his words spoke of he was glad Feyd was dead and that I needed to move on for the future of the Arrakis.

He was talking about Feyd-Rautha's death like I shouldn't care. Like I should move on quick and ignore any love I felt for him.

I removed Feyd's knife and keepsakes from his body and stood up.

Lady Jessica walked up and stood by her son. Her face showed pity but then fell into an emotionless mask.

"Move on Nanali."

Her face was steady and even, my lips quivered and I decided then and there that I was leaving Arrakis, now.

"OUT OF MY WAY."

I stormed out making sure to shove Paul as I walked past, I heard everyone around him and not looking back I walked out...
