His Forgotten Princess (Currently Being Re-written)

Ch.22

*Bucky's POV (I know, long over due)*

     She fell asleep in Clint' s arms and I tried to wake her but nothing worked. We quickly flew to Wakanda but the entire time I was worried that she was leaving me too soon. They rush her in to fix her injuries and I sit in an uncomfortable chair with my head in my hands. Steve puts a hand on my shoulder and the doctor and king T'challa walk into the room. I jump from the chair in worry and anxiety and the doctor strains a smile but still looks grim.

"She was in bad shape but you brought her just in time. Any longer and she would have died from malnutrition and blood loss. But she's stable."

"When can we see her?" Steve asks hopefully and everyone nods.  They led us to her room where she laid in the stiff white bed. You could plainly see the bruises on her face and arms along the cuts and scratches. I rushed to her side and pet her tangled hair as everyone stood around her bed.

"Unfortunately, there is a slight problem." The doctor says solemnly and Steve looks at him quizzically. I just keep my eyes on Sapphire. She just looked so peaceful and broken while she layed still in the bed as she slept.

"She's in a coma and we have no idea when she will wake up."

T'challa answers for the doctor and I could tell it was hard for him to say. I whipped my head to them then looked back down at her with tears in my eyes. I can't loose her like this. I need her, she's what keeps me going. I can't live without my Rose bud. We're supposed to get hitched and have a family. I don't want that with anyone else, only her. Steve puts a hand on my shoulder and looks at me with tears as well. They leave so I could be alone with her and I break into tears.

*A year and a half later Sapphire's POV  (sorry bucky's was so short (\_(**)_/)*

  I hear a vioce talking to my as I try to open my eyes but they feel so heavy. I finally get them open and quickly close them because of a blinding light. I groan as I finally get used to it and open my eyes fully I look to my right but see a blurry figure. I hear Steve's voice calling my name and mutter, "Steve?"

   My vision clears and see Steve with a huge smile on his face. I have never seen him this happy before.

"You're wake! You finally woke up! Here, drink this."

   He says enthusiastically and hands me a cup of water. I drink the water greedily and smile softly at him in thanks. He tells me to wait in bed as he goes to tell the others. I only have to wait a minute before a silver blur comes into the room. I look to my left to see Pietro with an incredulous look on his have and hugs me to his chest. I soon hear what sounded like a stampede and see the avengers standing in the doorway. After many hugs and kisses on my cheeks, I finally say, "Wow, thanks for the wake up call. But how long was I asleep?"

"Uh, Sapphire. You were in a coma for a year and a half."

    I look at them blankly and reply, "Ok. Now here's my next question, where's Bucky?"

    They stand around the room awkwardly and don't say a word. They just switch the subject about getting me back to walking and eating solid food. I don't understand why they are not telling me where Bucky is.
Is he dead?

Did he leave?

Did he forget about me?

Did he give up on me waking up?

Did he get captured by HYDRA?

I'm so confused, but they won't say anything about him or look at me when I ask.

Where did my Bucky go?
