Celestial Queen

Chapter 4

You awoke, the stench of alcohol and other medicinal products burned at your senses. A bright lamp shone above your face. As you sat straight up, you immediately regretted it as you felt your stomach fly straight into your throat. You turned to the floor, relieving yourself of bile. A nurse and doctor rushed in at the sound of sudden movement. 

"Princess, are you alright?"

 The nurse in crisp white scrubs asked you softly, as she held your head and placed it gently on your pillow. "Wh-Where am I?" You croaked out, with a deep morning voice. 

"Your highness, you are in the infirmary, as you had a very high fever along with the combination of your adrenaline levels rising dramatically in such a short period, you passed out due to exhaustion." The tall, thin doctor stated, all knowingly.

 "You've been asleep for a few days. We were worried you weren't going to wake up." The smaller woman whispered as she cleaned up the mess you had made on the side of your bed. 

"Shelah, please fetch the commander's wife some robes." 

" Yes Doctor." Shelah responded with a kind tone. Shelah left the room, taking a mop and bucket with her.

You felt your heart sink, having felt an instant connection with the woman. She reminded you so much of Mila, your brother's wife. She had always been so kind to you, making sure you ate while you studied the rules and etiquette of your planet. Not that any of that mattered now. Once the nurse had come back, she quickly dressed you and walked off to find your medicine for a developing headache. 

You could feel a weird force outside the door. You couldn't determine who contained such raw energy until the door opened, and in walked your husband who stood to be address by the small nurse. "Commander, Mistress Celestine is able enough to be taken back to your quarters. Her fever is gone, but she still need sufficient rest. No-Nothing that requires... a lot of energy."  As her face turned bright red, you could only guess what she was implying. 

"Celestine." You glanced up, pink dusting your cheeks as your eyes met his mask. The commander stood in front of you, and impatiently offered up his enormous hand. You grabbed it as you got off the bed, your legs shaking as you stood. "You've been in the same position for three days. It's normal to have wobbly knees." Shelah offered, with a tone of humor in her voice.

 You and Kylo walked out of the infirmary, your arm tucked under his. The color from your cheeks gone as the cold air surrounded you. His long strides were hard to keep up with, so again you found yourself jogging to keep up with him. Too confused and exhausted to think about his presence or anything else. You just wanted to sleep. Just a simple shut of the eyes would definitely aid your feeling of exhaustion. 

" Celestine, stay awake." Kylo Ren's distorted voice broke through the artificial air. You nodded at the ground. The commander made a sharp turn at stopped at a large door. Still holding you up, he typed in a security code and the door open, revealing a sitting room. Dark walls with white lights, pieces of furniture spread out amongst the room, all serving purposes. No decorations or trinkets to be found. 

Yanking your tired body towards a door way, warmth immediately hit you as you walked into a smaller room. A lit fire place with a very inviting, gigantic velvety silk bed. You practically fell into the bed with black silk linen. Exhaustion encasing you. But you felt your body being lifted, and your head placed onto a pillow, the cover being pulled over your body. You glanced up, and saw his head tilted as he watched you. "Thank you." You whisper, turning your body over away from his gazed. The aura in the room, surprisingly relaxed. Kylo Ren hummed in response, turned and stalked off elsewhere. Your heavy lids slowly closed to the crackle of the fire.
