Prince Michael - Part 2

Michael woke up when he felt the light hitting his eyelids. His green eyes fluttered open as he took in the scenery and noticed that he was no longer in the middle of the road but rather a room. He got up and felt his chest sore from taking the fall of the log and a cloth fall onto his lap tinted with a bit of red. He checked the side of his head and immediately winced when he felt the wound there.

And then he remembered the events that led up to moment in time. He had saved you from a near death experience, you being the princess of the kingdom his kingdom was at war with, and you ended up saving him as well by bringing him here to get medical attention. He was going to get up, till he heard the door open.

His breath was immediately caught as you walked through the door with a tray of food in your hands. You were still as breathtaking as when he saw your face for the first time that his thoughts were momentarily ceased, and he basked in your appearance. He shook that thought out of his head, remembering that you were the enemy; he couldn't feel anything for you, but that still didn't help him.

"I see you're finally awake," you said a small smile on your face as you set the tray with food down by the table near his beside.

Michael tried to get up but groaned in pain once again.

"Don't get up, you are still sore from having that log on your back, and you took off the cloth on your wound," you said reaching for the cloth that was laying on his side and turned to see his wound that was still a bit open, "and it looks like I need to clean your wound," you said as you excused yourself to go get a bowl of hot water and a fresh clean towel to clean him with.

Michael was in awe, he couldn't understand why you were helping him, you knew that he was from the enemy kingdom, it was obvious in the sparring match you had, yet...you helped him and aided him? He couldn't understand it one bit, he could have died, the heir to your enemy kingdom could have died, which could very much be a reason for his kingdom to surrender, or you could have taken him hostage to gain a vantage over his own kingdom...but you didn't do either.

But then again he did save you as well...

You returned with a steaming bowl and cloth and moved the tray of food on the floor next to you so you could set the bowl down there. You reached for the chair in the room and placed it near his bedside. "Here let me help you up," you said as you reached over him and gently pulled him up as he pulled himself up. A groan escaped his lips feeling his muscles ache in pain. "I'm sorry," you muttered once you sat him up and placed a few pillows behind him so he could lean on them.

"It's ok, umm...how long have I been out?" he asked.

"Since yesterday. I got a doctor to look over you, and he said that nothings broken, but your back and torso are badly bruised. He said you were lucky," you said looking into his eyes that were fixated on you. "He said had that log landed any higher on your torso, it could have broken your ribs and punctured your lungs, which could have killed you," you said with an almost whispered voice. "So thank you for saving my life," you muttered out as you looked away and reached for the bowl and towel and placed it on your lap, and began to soak the towel in the hot water.

Michael didn't know what to say, but instinctively he said, "You're welcome."

"This may sting a little," you said as you squeezed the small towel of excess water and neared it to his head, waiting for him to understand that it could hurt him, and for him to admit that he didn't want your help, but he nodded, and you continued.

You pressed the cloth against the side of his head, and he winced as his hand reached for your hand that was holding the bowl and held it, hoping it would ease the pain, squeezing it that sent small shivers up your arm.
