Invisible

Chapter 19

Chapter 19:

The days passed, and I had no idea how many they were, my nights were exactly like my days. The door would open, and Kate would enter with a sip of would slap me and kick me as I screamed and begged while trying to protect my stomach. It was something I'd been doing with no idea why; maybe I feared it'd kill me? I didn't know.

It was one day that my Queen came with water and food this time, and told me to eat well because I would be going to the chamber again where I used to meet with the King. I couldn't tell from her words, but something was going on. I thought maybe it was that he had been asking about me and she didn't have any more excuses about my absence. Or maybe my lack of food gave me those thoughts.

"Don't you dare tell him a word of where you have been. Don't you dare speak at all." She said. "You're only alive because your mask was on, and you swore you never spoke to him,"

"Yes, I swear." I made the stupid mistake of interrupting her, but I was desperate.

"Shut up, slut." She struck me, "I'll give you powder to hide your bruises, but you're still not allowed to take off your gown, do you hear me?"

"Yes, my Queen."

"Beautiful Eyes!" he said in obvious delight, as he surrounded my body in a hug to which I silently winced at. "You're back! I've missed you."

I could only smile slightly.

"You're much thinner; those five days were such a torture, Beautiful Eyes."

Five days? Were they only five days? They had felt more like five years.

"Are you feeling well?" he asked, to which I only nodded. "It doesn't look like it." He said, and all I could do was press on both of my lips, I didn't know anything else to do.

"We don't have to do anything if you don't want to." He said, and my eyes almost bugged out of my face as I looked at him in shock.

"Yes, we don't have to; I only wanted to see you." He hugged me to his body again. "I have no clue what's happening to me, Beautiful Eyes. Do you know?" he asked into my hair. "Do you know why I have these wierd feelings that I'd never felt before? Do you know why I couldn't bear all of those nights without you I was actually feeling pain? Do you know why I'm unfaithful to my wife without her knowing it? Without any control from me? Do you know? Because I sure as Hell don't."

Tears brightened my eyes; I didn't know what to tell him. Heck – I believed I was dreaming, because it couldn't be the truth that my King was feeling something for me. Yes, I must've been dreaming.

"Sit down, Beautiful Eyes. Sit down and let me talk to you." He said, and my heart started beating fast, my King only wanted to talk to me? No sex? Talk to me even when he knew I couldn't talk back to him? Dreaming – of course it was a dream.

"Are you always this weak after you bleed?"

Bleed? So that was what she told him about where I was.
