My most perfect bachelor

My most perfect disappearance

POV: Averdine

I stretch out my arms across the bed to find him but he's nowhere to be found. The bed is cold and empty beside me. I prop myself up on my elbow and look around the room. "Isi?" I ask wondering if he's near by. no answer.

I get up off the bed and walk to the door and find guards posted there. "Where is Prince Isi?" I ask. "He is in battle..." the man says in a sullen tone. "When will he be expected back?" I ask worried. "When the priest returns...for the funeral." I gasp in fear for his life and I burst out the door down the the main floor and out into the drizzly dreary day despite the worning and wailing of the maids. I reach the stables and as I saddle a horse it starts to pour. I grab a cloak hanging from a hook and throw it around my shoulders. then i grab a sword from a warriors room in the nearby bericks.  and a pony bow and a sheith full of arrows. I mount the horse and raise the hood. I look down and see three daggers in pockets on the saddle. I take off the horses hooves sloshing in the mud. i reach the top of the hill and i can see flames not far away and an amonous glow that makes me want to run away from it but I have to get to Isi.

we ride fast and hard ro the battle and i take out the pony bow and arrows and start shooting towards the men in the black clothes. Isi's men wear brown.

I hit a few and they realize I could be a threat and start shooting back. I'm hit in the shoulder of my left arm and yell out in pain. I pull out the arrow and point it back at them the pony bow was starting to hurt my arm and I threw my arrows to another rider. i took out the daggers and threw them and even on a horse I hit what i was aiming for. I dismount and pull out the sword. I swing with all my weight and they men are shocked but still fight hard. I get cut above me eye brow and then my right arm and I retreat farther back in the battle. I find a place to rest and i sit down my arms flowing blood. I look over and see my Monkey standing just a few feet away. I stand with much struggle and run over to him wrapping my arms around him. "Averdine!" he wirls around and holds me tight. "Why are you here?!" he asks. "I had to come I had to see you. they said you'd come back to the castle when the priest returns for your funeral." I tell him. "Averdine, it's alright, I'm here for you." he tells me wraping his arms around me. "your injured. " he says. I nod. "i helped take a few of them out." I tell him. I reach up a touch his face then between my wounds and the rain i feel heavy and tired I smile weakly and close my eyes. Isi's worried voice rings out loud. He's clearly crying. I slip away into a relm of darkness and warmth but also light and cold I'm neither up nor down. I'm just here. I can feel large warm heavy hands on my face. "Isi," I say I can feel a smile reach across my face.

Where am I? What is this place? This place of limbo? This place where I can feel Isi's touch but not see his face?

I open my eyes and above me is a ceiling fan spinning around and around. i blink for a minute then sit up. I'm back in my tiny apartment all alone not ever my stuffed Monkey to comfort me. I still have my wounds from the battle. I walk out of the room my arms pouring blood. I reach the door and turn the nob the blood smearing everything I touch. i find myself at the top of the stairs and stumble down to the last flight and fall tumbling down the flight of twenty steps. I land at the bottom and look up at the many flights of stairs.  the manager runs over and checks my pulse then calls 911 reasuing me I'll be alright. 

after that everything is a blur. The medics asking me questions. the doctors doing the same then the police coming to my room and questioning me. I don't say anything and play deaf. I want to go back. i have to go back. I have to see Isi. I lie there looking out the window at the bright blue sky and start to cry. a detective walks in and sits beside my bed on the other side. he places his hand on mine and I turn to see his face. I gasp. "Isi..." I say wraping my fingers around his hand. the detective pulls away. "How do you know my name? " he asks. "I love you Monkey," I tell him but he doesn't want to hear me out he backs away as I sit up. 

"Isi please don't leave me!" I tell him in a hoarse voice.  "I love you Isi," I tell him. "My name is Averdine, don't you remember?" I ask. he shakes his head and runs from the room. my heart breaks and I start wailing tears streaming down my face. I yell out his name pleading for him to return.  soon the doctor shows up and shoves a needle into my skin and I quickly passed out.

"Averdine? " I hear Isi's voice and I start crying. "Isi, Isi," I say his name over and over trying to find him in this darkness.  "ISI!!!" I scream wanting him beside me most of all. I open my eyes and the detective Isi sits stunned by my bed side. I reach out and touch his cheek and smile.  he smiles and looks down at me and i see my Isi again. I pull him close and look deep into his eyes. "I love you Isi," i tell him he pulls away.  "I have to ask you questions." he says my hand dropping to the bed. "Where did you get these wounds?" he asks. I don't respond worried if I was to say anything about Isi and the doorway into the world with Isi's castle and being a princess, they would put me in an insane asylum. "how did you aquire such wounds as a cut by a sword across your right arm and an arrow wound in you left arm?" he asks. I give him a look of 'maybe later bud' so he moves on. "how do you know me?" he asks.  "You are Isi Nanook,  you are a prince and we are to be married tomorrow but seeing as how I'm here and not there theres no way for that to happen." I tell him starting to cry.  "my beloved Isi." I say curling up in the hospital bed puttung strain on my wounds.

"I have never met you how could we be getting married?"  he asks.  I turn away and look out the window at the bright blue sky and wish I were a bird. If I were a bird I could fly out the window and find Isi. but my wings have been clipped and I won't soar again. I've lost my love and disappeared.

Thanks for reading.
