Love At First Kingdom

Chapter Twenty Nine

Thomas POV (Holy fuck something new! Also the video is Thomas this chapter)

I hear the crumple.  Its like a bag of bricks falling to the ground ,my head pops up from where I was working and turns around. And everything stops.

My heart stops. My lungs.  The blood in my bod stopa and goes cold. My thoughts stop in their tracks and go silent.  The commotion around the room stops and everhone looks. The chirping birds outside stop and the food being passed around drops to the floor and stops. The children's laughter stops. Everything stops.

It's Alex. Hes a crumpled mess on the floor and not a part of him is moving. I can't hear his heart. I cant hear the soft breaths.  I cant hear him think. Its all empty and dead like a radio with no batteries. My eyes widen and I don't move.

Hes dead...

" Thomas what's the?..." Maria  looks up from where shes working amd freezes when she sees it."Oh my God...." she gasps.

Theres a scream. It takes a few minutes for me to realise that that scream came from me. The heart broken,cracked, lifeless scream came from me. Its like listening  to a dying animal scream for pain. Once one comes they just spill out over and over.I shake my head and drop what I was doing and scramble over to him.

Unlike the elegant and sqidt moments the scramnlimg is choppy and rushed. I almost facw plant a few times and nearly knock someone down as I slide next to Alex. Oh. My. God.

His side's soaked in his own blood and skin cold to the touch. Its an unhealthy greenish-blue color and the veins are like spiderwebs. His lips are blue and his eyelashes' dont flutter once.  My hands find his and I'm shocked at how stiff they are, a sob forces its way past my lips and my head lays on his chest.

I dont care about the blood. My Alex is gone.  The wide beautiful smiles and the fairy laughter he gave.  The intelligent brain and thoughtful eyes. His heart of gold and words of steel. Him. My Alex.  My beautiful, perfect, stunning, one of a kind, flawless, caring Alex.

"I.... I... c-can fix this!"I start undoing his shirt quickly as my hand fumble. I cant even get the first one open.  I growl frustratingly and just rip the shirt open and gasp.  Its a clean widen open wound. Its a terrible greenish tint around the edges and its the only thing hot to the touch. 

Poison.  The arrow was coated in poison . And its ripped open. He qas moving and ripped the wound open more as be moved around.its a mess and I can see the floor through the wound. I shake my head as tears run down my cheeks .

"I can fix this." My voice wavers with uncertainty.  Maria lays a hand on my shoulder and bites her lips.

"Thomas.... he's dead. You can't just..." he voice is soft and kind.

"Watch me!" I snap and look him over again. I can't... I can't.. She sighs and watches me and looks away." I... I did it once I can do it again."

"Thomas you almost killed yourself last time.  You used up all your power for months." She says and crouches down next to me." It would not be wise to be powerless at this time."

"Theyre going to be down for a while.  They need to regroup." Hercules says, the gaurd captain bows twoards me slightly.  "But Maria's right.  You almost killed yourself doing that once I wouldn't risk it again."

"I have to do this!" My voice cracks,it doesnt come out as fierce as I want it to. It comes out weak and meek.

"Thomas we will  drag you away if we have too." Hercules sets his jaw. " We can't lose a king now. Especially you. We've already lost Alex, we can't lose you too."

"Don't you dare." There's the bite I was looking for.

"Maybe I can help." A voice offers. I know that voice.  I look up and eyes widen, I haven't seen him since the war started. He shielded off his kingdom and went into hidding.

It's James.
