My eyes flutter open and I felt weird like my body was being weighed down by bricks. I slowly looked around the room and realized I was in a hospital. The windowsills in the room were both covered and pretty herbs and flowers and I knew Daya had been here. I slowly sat up and the loud beeping machine begin to annoy me and I pulled the needle out of my arm and all the other crap stuck to me.

The machine begin to buzz loudly and a nurse ran into the room panicking and when she walked in she dropped her clipboard.

"How long have I been in here." I asked my voice felt dry as though I sand in my throat.

"I will go get you some water and the doctor." She stuttered as she ran out the room.

I slowly lifted my hair and had grown to be all the way down to my butt and that freaked me the hell out. I notice my arms were red with the design of the chains on them and then I pulled back the blanket and they were too. Then I felt this burning feeling were the tattoos where and then the they disappeared as if they weren't there.

I slowly through my legs over the side of the bed and they felt like jello and as I was about to stand the doctors walked in. "I wouldn't do that you have been in a coma for six months it won't be that easy."

"Are you serious has it really been that long." I stated in shock.

"Yes we started to believe that you would never come out of it." She admitted.

"What happen to me?" I questioned.

"You were poisoned but we aren't sure by what we ran many test but we weren't unable to figure it out. They believed Edison was responsible since he escaped the same night, but he was eliminated and they couldn't get answers from him. She informed me.

I had been in a coma for six long months and for me I felt like I was gone for only a few hours. "I would like to shower and possibly get some food. Where is Julius?"

"Of course we can get you some food and than someone can help get up so you can get in the shower. The king has been in back to back meetings all day but I will inform someone that you are awake." She replied and then she left the room.

Julius was king I couldn't believe it, and I didn't really know what that meant the world was moving while I was sleep. Eventually a nurse came in and brought me food which was amazing, a huge steak with eggs, toast and home fries. I scarfed the food down so fast I almost choked but each bit was just so good. The nurse came back and for an hour she helped me stretch out my limbs and be able to walk on them.

My legs felt like they were asleep just like me and the bottom of my feet felt numb and each step felt like a struggle. Once I got to the shower and the hot water beat down my body and seemed to help wake me up. Washing my hair was a little of a struggle and I was too tired to dry it so I let hang down around me wet and curly. I stepped out and found a black long sheer gown, the closet was full of them and it looked like the one I had on. Only in a kingdom could you get actually dresses instead of the crap gowns they gave in the human hospital.

I slipped on some undergarments and then slipped on my gown and walked out of my room into the hall. There was a large front desk in the middle of the large hallway, some chairs and more rooms up and down the hall. The nurse that had helped me was sitting at the front desk so I walked over and smiled slightly. "I'm going to get going, I don't want to be stuck in that room any longer.

"Princess Leona and Ms. Kingston are on there way down to greet you." She said but she seemed very nervous.

I nodded and shook it off as me just being paranoid and I walked back into my room. I was nervous about seeing them and I also made me thinking of finding my phone to call Daya. Even though I was in a coma she had been here visiting me and I really wanted to let her know I appreciated it. I checked around the room eventually finding my phone dead in draw. My charger was with it so found a plug and went to charge it up and there was a knock on the door before it slowly creaked opened. Leona stepped into the room and tears burst out of her eyes and she ran over to me and squeezed me tightly. Kingston joined in and before I knew it I was trapped between the too of them.
