To Love A Beast - Absalom x Reader

Chapter 2

I had been taken away by a few zombies and I noticed that their ship is on the other side. This ship was far different that the one I was held prisoner in, this one was bigger, gloomier and it had "Thriller Bark" written on the sails. I had to walk all the way across the ship to get on the other one and I suddenly didn't feel good. Like I had just ran a marathon or something because my legs felt like giving up on me. Then I started to feel really dizzy, like not enough blood was going up to my head or something. I only lasted like 30 seconds and then I suddenly collapsed.

I was still too weak from trying to starve myself for about a week and being chained didn't help either. My body was too exhausted to even stand up. All I remembered was that I started to feel light headed and my vision was blurring.

Absalom- "DON'T TOUCH HER!!"

That was all I heard before I had completely passed out from exhaustion.

-------------------

(Absalom's POV)

I saw (Y/n) collapse all of a sudden and I didn't know what to do. I knew she was weak from being chained all this time but I didn't think she would collapse. Alot of things went through my mind, if she were sick then our marriage would be complicated. But if she was really sick to a point that she were about to die, then Hogback would see it as an opportunity to turn her into a zombie. I can't let that happen, I finally found my bride and I intend to keep her for all eternity.

Me- "DONT TOUCH HER!"

I shouted at my minions so they would back off. I wanted to be the first to check her, she is my bride after all.

As I checked her I noticed that her face looked tired, not only that but she looked alot thinner up close than she did when she was a few feet from me. I wondered what happened the whole week she was here? Did they not feed her? Did she starve herself? Did she suffer from an illness? Alot of questions ran into my head but I just wanted my bride to be well and alive.

Me- "HURRY UP AND TAKE HER TO MY ROOM!"

I watched as the zombies carried (y/n) to the ship. I just wanted (y/n) to be well, I had planned to marry her tonight but if she is not feeling well then it would have to wait, and I don't like the idea of it. I had been waiting for this day for far too long now and this doesn't help.

But then I think to myself, why wait? We can still wed while she is asleep, I'll just have one of my men hold her up right during the ceremony while she sleeps. Then it's settled, we get married tonight. I just hope Hogback doesn't see her, he might turn her into a zombie and that would really ruin my day.

(Your POV)

I slowly wake up and notice that I am in a room, not only that but the sun is almost setting as well. I wanted to sit up but for some reason I just couldn't, I didn't want to anyways. I was so comfortable and warm, that I thought I was up in the clouds. This was the best feeling I had ever felt in a week, no scratch that, my entire life. I just laid there and smiled, I felt like a little kid that didn't need to get up for school the next morning. And then I noticed something, I was on a bed.

I finally had the strength to sit up and look around, I was in a bedroom and I was resting on a large bed. I look at the bed in awe, I never thought I would ever lie down on one. I didn't have a bed back in my village, we all just slept on a really thin futon that was always rolled up in the corner every morning. As I looked at the bed, I also noticed that my chains are gone, is this what freedom feels like? As I looked out the window I then started to think about my family and my smile instantly vanished. I started to wonder if I'll ever see my family again.
