The Dark Prince

Chapter 10: poor little andy

Chapter 10

Pain shot through out my body. Alice ripped the knife out and aimed for another blow. I fell to the ground which was only a foot or two. Prince tackled her and took the knife from her hand. "Kill me and you will never be uncursed!" She hissed trying to act like it would matter. I felt blood come out of my new wound. I looked at it. My lower back. I closed my eyes and put pressure trying to stop the bleeding. I cried out as I pulled some cloth over it putting pressure on it. "I could care less!" Prince growled. I saw his hands quickly go up and go down with the knife with full power. A scream turned softer until she was dead. "Look!" A snake man hissed looking at alive body. "Retreat!" A rouge said running off. I felt hands on my side. Ari and melody. They lefted me and took me to a horse. Then I blacked out.

Prince POV

I threw the knife into the ground. I looked at Alice's lifeless body. 'Kill me and you will never be uncursed." Her words echoed in my head. I don't care as long as Andy- where is she! I looked to where I last saw her. Only a small pool of blood was there. "We have won!" Scar cheered. "Where is she!" I yelled at gage who was staring at something. Kajit! "Andy is with your guards. Melody and ari." The cat said. A female kajit ran last me to the horses. I followed hoping Andy was there. I saw ari on a horse holding someone and ride off quickly. "Prince Andy is with ari he is taking her back-" melody informed me but I jumped onto my horse. "Lets go. Carry the wounded and hurry back."

I said and rode off after them. I felt my heart beating inside my chest loudly. I couldn't think of a world with out her. I sped up our speed and closed my eyes for what seemed like forever. 'Never be uncursed!' Echoed in my mind again. The castle was in view. The streets were empty and I saw people running to the castle. I saw a woman who looked like Andy crying on her knees at the door leading into the castle. I jumped off and ran inside but was yanked back. "What happened to my sister!?" John yelled at me. I stared at him. "She went scouting when I was knocked out then she got stabbed-" the women hugged John and hugged him tight. "My baby girl..." She cried. I opened the doors and let only them and josh inside.

The whole village was outside the castle. I ran up the stairs to the mini hospital followed by the cattails. I opened the door to have five people stare at me with worried eyes. I raced to her side and ignored the fact that she's shirtless. Her mother covered her chest and I held her hand. "His could I let this happen." I said to myself. I put my fore head on hers. I felt a hand rub my back. I felt my eyes water as I looked at her mother. "I don't blame you." She said softly. "It's my fault. I shouldn't let her go in my place." She started crying. I hugged her and felt a tear run down my cheek. "She is in shock. She will only wake up by time." Her brothers looked down. "Isn't their something you can do?" I asked stupidly. "Sadly no." I looked at Andy. Her beautiful face looked so peaceful.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I held her hand the whole time. I fell asleep still holding her hand. For days I wouldn't leave her side. Only when they cleaned her is when I left. I barely ate or slept. It felt like forever since the last time I saw her eyes. "Prince you must go sleep. You need to do your job." Joy said to me. It's been a week since the battle. "Please prince for your own good. We will tell you if anything changes." She said trying to push me away softly. I held her hand still. I didn't want to but I knew she want me to. I let go. It seemed like time froze and everything wasnt real. I felt dead inside I could feel the dirt on my skin. I nodded and walked to my room. I took a long shower. Feeling the burning water didnt even effect me. I fell like a shell and what was once inside is dead.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She is still sleeping. I'm no longer allowed inside since joy tells me it's for my own good but really I don't feel the same as I did when she slept on my chest. I feel sick from head to toe. Harold and ember barely talk and mostly sit around sadly. The cattails stay in the castle and visit their beautiful Andy. I miss her laugh and voice. I sound like a dairy dear god I'm so lost I don't know what to do anymore. I no longer feel anger or rage only depression and pain. It's much worse. I lock myself in my room everyday eating only when joy forces me. She's been the only one who makes me do crap anymore. No one is scared of me only pity fills their eyes when they look at the mess I am now. I want Andy no I need her.

Amber POV

I look at him with pity. He looked terrible and depressed. Aren't we all though. Everyone in this whole village and castle was in this depression. Ken and Kira are the only ones able to do work properly. It's been three weeks now. I don't think we can go on like this. I feel as if she dosent bring the light back to this place people will die. I walked to visit her in this state. "Is there any sign." I asked for the 100th time. Joy sadly shook her head. "How's the prince handling it." She asked. "Like someone stabbed him in the heart." I said looking at the sleeping Andy.

"I feel so bad that I can't do anything to wake her." She said. I held her hand. Usually warm is now cold and pale. "Tell me again what's wrong." I asked. Joy nodded. "Her body is in basically a sleep mode to heal. Emotionally, mentally, and physically. Her mind is either under stress or something I can't explain. The wound only made it worse. She bottled up her emotions and now her mind won't wake up till she figures out what it's about." Joy explained for the millionth time to me. "I still dont understand. Why would she go into this sleep over something her mind can't think about?" I asked joy. "She is holding it in. It's unhealthy for someone to bottle up a huge emotion for a long period of time." Joy said sadly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A entire month. A month it has been since Andy was awake. Harold passes me and asks to accompany him to visit her again. I nodded and followed. Prince hasn't left his room since week 3. He only eats when someone places it inside his room. Ari didn't take it to well either. He blamed himself and for princes misery. We entered the room. Her mom was there. She was sleeping in the chair near by. I wake over to Andy. I nudge her a little. I turned as Harold sat down. I felt a hand grip my writ. I turned to see beautiful green eyes looking at me. "Andy!" I exclaimed and hugged the poor child. "A-amber where am I. Where's prince." She asked sleep fully. "Wake her up." I told Harold. "Miss cattail she's awake." He said to her. "Huh what? My baby!" She realized and hugged Andy.

Andy POV

"You've been alseep for a month." My more said still hugging me. I hugged her back and gave her a smile. "Please say something." She said. "Mom I ok. Why was I asleep anyways? And how is prince or ari?" I asked. "You were bottling up emotions that you couldn't contain so your body went into dormant cause of the shock of the stab wound. Basically you didn't know what to do with the emotion so your body gave you time to think." Joy explained. "I'm going to take a shower. " I said getting up. The muscles in my legs failed on my causing me to fall. "Your muscle tone went down since they haven't done anything in a month." Joy said while Harold and amber helped me up. "Lets get you cleaned up and surpise the kingdom. Everyone will be ecstatic!" The whole kingdom?

After the shower which I learned how to stand and move but it hurt. I let amber dress me. She put on my dark green skinny jeans, black tightish shit and my combat boots. She let my hair be straight and put on mascara and eye liner for me. "Ready?" Harold asked walking in with a huge smile. "Ready." I said getting up. I did some work out things before the shower so I'm ok for now. I walked into princes room. Pitch black and the balcony door was covered and shut. I shut the door behind me and walked a bit more inside. I felt hands pin me down against the bed. "Who are you and what do you want?" He growled. I saw his red eyes a bit. "To see you." I said softly. His grip loosened up. "Andy?" He asked like a child. "Yes." I said with a smile. I felt lips touch mine.
