Dear, My Kings (MxMxMxM)

Chapter 24: The Light

    A metallic taste filled my mouth as my fingers guided me down a long never ending hallway. It was too dark for me to see two inches in front of me. I wanted to scream in frustration, it felt like someone was playing a trick on me. The tricks that my sister would think of, blinding me and putting me in a circular room and telling me the exit is in the corner.

    "Darius? Atticus? Cassius?" I strained my ears for anything at all. I wanted them to come and save me, like I was some princess in a fairy tale.

    "Anyone? Help please?" My voice was strained as more blood filled my mouth. It didn't make sense, why was I basically choking on blood and stumbling around lost. I wasn't even sure I was still in the castle. I collected all the blood in my mouth and spit it on the ground. However as quickly it was all gone it filled back up with the nasty liquid. My lips part and I just let the blood ooze out, my blood quickly dripped down my face. As more blood built up some slipped into lungs.

    It burned, it burned so bad I wanted to cry. In fact I think I already was.

    "Darius!" I cried out and started coughing. Surely he will come. He'll come save me, he has too. He won't let me die. I know he won't. My mouth closed as I started to use my nose to breathe. I thought it would help ease my lungs but it just caused the excess blood to escape out through my nose. I didn't bother wiping it away, knowing it would just be replaced.

    My heart has never constricted more with fear. My hand filled with tremors and my knees on the verge of buckling. I didn't want to die, not here, not now. My life was just getting good, I deserved it. My nails clawed into the drywall trying to keep myself upright.

    "Your Highness?" My head snapped to the side, surprised to see white glowing figures. "Are you okay?" Once came closer and put their hand on my shoulder. It was comforting, however I was so confused as to who these 4 white figures were.

    "Let's go to the garden for afternoon tea." What tea? No I can't, I need to find Darius. He will know how to help me. My upper arm was grabbed and I never wanted to scream at someone more. I was bleeding out my mouth and nose. I didn't want tea! I needed the blood to stop pooling in my lungs each time I took a breath.

    I was pulled so harshly from the safety and guidance of the wall. My knees finally gave out causing my head to hit the carpeted ground. I didn't stay on the ground too long, however the next second I was sitting up in a chair. Everything was still so dark, however I felt the cold breeze and warm sun hitting my face. The sun was up, yet I couldn't see. Why? Why was my sight taken from me?

    The clinking of glasses and the scratches of silverware on porcelain plates made me guess I was now at a tea party. I watch as the white blurry figures sip out of blacked out tea cups or they talk with others. I wasn't sure what they were saying and I didn't care too much.

    Until I see one lean over and whisper to the other. The shining light started to become gray and her center by her stomach turned red. What? What happened? The now gray figure leaned over and whispered to another making her turn gray and red.

    "Oh King Darius!" One of the girls said. They all stood and bowed to the blinding white light walking towards us. Darius? Wait King Darius, he's still a prince. I start looking around and immediately realize this wasn't really. None of this was real? I look back to see the girl who greeted Darius start to turn gray like the others. Fear started to sink into my stomach. Who are these people and why are they important enough to show up in my dream? Was this another vision? I need to pay close attention if it is. My head immediately started to fill with pressure I never felt before. My breathing had gotten worse, to the point of weezing.

    "Little Sky?" The shining light came closer and the warmth of his hand touched my shoulder.

    "Little Sky?" Darius moved my shoulder as I felt my eyes start to close. Now I was completely blinded and consumed with darkness. Darius shook my shoulder more and I kept my eyes closed as weights pushed on my shoulders. I didn't want to die, no this is a dream I won't die? Now I was completely confused.

    "Little Sky?"

    "Little Sky?"

    "Little Sky?" Huh? His voice was clearer.

    "Little Sky~ it's time to get up!" I snap open my eyes and immediately sit up. I wipe the drool from my mouth.

    "Darius! What are you doing here?" I was in my own little office that was gifted. It's not really an office, more like my own small classroom. Tutors came and gone throughout the last few days. The princes were busy with their own work leaving me all alone most days. So naturally I dived deep into my studies to forget about my lonely heart.

    "I finally found some time to sneak away, hopefully none of my fathers informers will take notice of my absence." Darius stepped around the desks in front of my chair. My eyes blinked rapidly as I remembered that old dream. How could I forget about it so soon?

    "Um Darius? I think I had another vision?"

    "Oh my little seer had a vision did he?" Darius put both of his hands on the arm rest of my chair. Leaning down to my leave, so he could look me in the eye.

    "I don't understand it? Maybe you can read my mind again?" I wanted him to help me piece the puzzle together. He cupped my cheeks with his hands.

    "No can do! You gotta figure it out on your own. The clues are there." Darius then kissed me softly on the forehead. "You are so much smarter than you think."
