Clair's POV
Alright so to say that i was starting to get a little testy was an understatement. I was getting freaking pissed off!
It was night fall now, and the crazy guy had sent dinner for me. Apparently he wasnt in the mood to pester me lately so that was okay. What i didnt like was his little pesky servents comming in "bringing me dinner" and spying on me.
"You must eat my lady" The young woman said, bowing slightly as she set the tray on my table "You will perish"
"Maybe that is what i want" I replied coldly, starring out the window "Its better then being locked in here"
But i was hungry, i had starved myself all day. In the end i couldnt help but eat, and i had to admit, it was a good meal to. In the end i was full and sleepy, and my bed was looking so comfortable.
This garment that i picked to wear to wear was pale blue, it to was silky and shimmered slightly. But it was light, I could hardly feel it on me, besides where the fabric fluttered around my ankles.
It was fit for a princess, just like everything here was.
But something was bothering me. As i brushed my hair before bed i felt as if something was nagging at me from the inside. I couldnt quit place it but it almost felt as though something was pushing on my mind.
It was rather bothersome.
I laid in bed for hours after that, hoping to find some sleep in my heavenly bed. But everytime i was near sleep I would get another uneasy feeling, as if something was trying to break open. Finally i started to cry.
Maybe i was going insane.
Maybe i already was.
I cried until my eyes hurt so bad i couldnt keep them open, but even after that i sobbed. My head was pounding and i felt like my eyeballs were being pressed down.
What the hell was happening to me?
"Claire!"
I flinched in my bed, clinging to the sheets, there was a voice in my head. I was going insane.
"Princess!"
This time i screamed, squeezing my eyes shut even tighter.
"Im going insane" I sobbed "Im going insane!"
"Claire i know you can hear me. I can feel you, dont be frightened. I wont hurt you"
i was clutching my ears now. How was this possible? who was talking to me in my head? i didnt know this voice.
"My name is Thomas" The voice continued quikly "I am your guardian. Do not be afraid"
Something about this voice was soothing, though i was still terrified. The pain in my head was gone now, my eyes didnt feel like they would explode. But something else was there, or someone.
"Who are you?" I sobbed "what do you want?"
"I told you, i am Thomas. Im here to save you from Rog"
I sat bolt up, looking around my room in shock.
"Here?" I demanded "Here where?"
"As in, we are fast aproaching the kings castle so i would be ready if i were you"
We? who the hell was we?
"As in your Nutcracker and myself" The voice in my mind said
Wow apparently nothing in my head was safe
But more imporantantly. Kristopher was okay and he was comming for me!!
"Get dressed my lady" The voice in my head said, sounding farther away in my head now then before "We will be there soon"
"What how soon?" I demanded, but the feeling that there was someone else in my head was now gone. I was completely alone.
I sat in bed for a few moments, my heart pounding. Out of all the things that had been happening to me, that had to have been the most bizzare thing ever. I should have gotten out of bed then and tried to have found something to wear for whatever was about to happen. But at that moment all the exhaustion from crying and communicating with whoever i had just talked to hit me. With the pain no longer in my head i was having trouble just keeping my eyelids open.
I didnt even get the chance to move an inch in my bed before i fell backwards into the pillow and into a deep sleep.
Kristopher's POV
"Well" I demanded "Did you reach her?"
Thomas was leaning against a tree, sweat trickling down his face. His eyes were closed and he was breathing heavily.
"Yes" He finally said "I got through to her, though it was not easy. I couldnt keep it up for long"
"Did she believe you?" I asked
"I think so" He said, wipping his face with the back of his hand "But the mind link drained her, she collapsed just moment later. She is sleeping now, she couldnt help it"
I groaned, how were we supposed to reach Claire if she was asleep? Thomas wouldnt be able to communicate with her.
I looked the warrior up and down, he to looked completely exhausted. There were deep circles under his eyes and his arms were shaking slightly.
"Have you ever reached out to anyone like that before?" I asked
Thomas shook his head
"I can only speak to Claire, she has never needed me before. I have heared that it is difficult, but i never new how much it took to get through. She fought against me very hard, i almost didnt make it through"
I smirked, thats my girl.
"We need to go" Thomas said, pulling out several weapons from his bag, he handed me a sword "We need to get to her before Rog tries anything else"
"Your about to collapse" I protested "What good will you be if you cant fight"
"I have been far more weak then this young worrior" Thomas replied gruffly as he trudged on "Now lets go, your princess is waiting for you"
