Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me

Chapter 45

Allison

I jolt up as i heard a loud bang. I saw Octavia walking inside the room "Ali you need to come with me its the princess.." she said evident concern reflected in her eyes. Without further thought i immediately followed her. I noticed that we are inside the palace, I tried to collect my memories last night but i couldn't remember anything. I squinted my eyes as we walked through the long hallways, rays of the sun seeping in the window. My heart is pounding for i was worried for our princess and its unlikely for Octavia to act this way if its not a serious case. "Octavia tell me what's going on?" i asked with concern in my voice.  "The maids found her unconscious in the bathroom floor, the queen already sent Nyoko to check on her but she's still unconscious until now Ali and its already half a day." i gasp from all the information i heard. "the queen and the commander are watching the princess closely, Nyoko already conducted  series of test.." she sighed heavily as we stopped at the double doors "i hope she's okay Ali.. Cause i don't want to lose our princess for the second time.." i could feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'm sure she's alright Octavia you know how strong she is.. She won't give up that easily." i said giving her hope. I hugged her and she hugged me back i could feel her muscles relaxed, taking a moment before facing reality.

We walked inside and saw monitors around the princess. I saw the Queen talking to the commander but they stopped their conversation when they saw us enter the room. I bowed at their presence and the Queen nod acknowledging us. "i believe Octavia already told you about the current situation?" the queen asked. "yes she did your highness.." i answered. "do not worry Lady Ali Nyoko and his team will get to the bottom of this. I put my full trust on him." the Queen said. I nod then asked "have you informed Echo yet? I'm sure she's worried about her.." The Queen looked taken back but immediately covered it with her usual stoic face. "I'll call her after we get the results done."Octavia interjected answering for the Queen and the commander. I felt warm eyes staring at me, i turned towards it and saw the commander staring at me intently. I did not recall how gorgeous she was till i closely gaze her stunning face maybe because we never had an interaction before. Flashes of hazel eyes suddenly occupied my mind but i immediately pushed it back. There it goes again. God i need coffee. I turned around avoiding her gaze and walked towards the princess. She really looked pale and that really worries me more. Then the double doors opened revealing Nyoko holding a bunch of papers. He bowed to the Queen and to the commander his gazed stopped at me "Lady Ali..." he said acknowledging me. I slightly smile at him. Nyoko became close to the princess before and I'm grateful the Queen allowed the royal doctor to treat the princess. He moved towards the monitors then began to press a lot of buttons . A hologram appeared projecting somekind of a picture with lights around. I don't understand this kind of thing and remembered Raven just on cue she bursted inside making everyone turn to her. "I GOT IT!" She practically shouted. "what do you mean you got it? And where have you been Raven?"i asked her bombarding her with questions." Raven is helping Nyoko interpret the scanners"Octavia answered for her. "Anyway look at this" Raven said drawing our attention to the holograms. "can you see this red portion hue? this area of the brain contains memories, right Nyoko?" she asked while still looking at the hologram. I could see the recognition of Nyoko's eyes almost surprised or fear? "supposedly if no interruption occured it should remain green like the rest of the area so it means maybe her lost memories or suppressed memories came back? But...i don't know.. What do you think Nyoko? " Raven stared at the old man asking for confirmation but he seemed uneasy and looked back at the Queen and the commander. On the other hand the Queen seemed stuck into place while the commander just stared at Raven like she grew two horns on her head." But i don't recall the princess suffered from memory loss Raven.." i said. "That's what bothers me.." she said while scrunching her brows together. "ofcourse maybe her suppresed memories came back.." Nyoko said.  "thank you Raven for helping us we'll take it from here." then he immediately turned off the holograms, commanded his team then get on with the devices. He acts a bit weird though. Suddenly we heard commotions outside. The commander immediately moved at front protecting everyone inside the room." what is going on Indra?" i heard her talking to the communicator. "What?" she said turning to the Queen. I'm amazed how the grounders interpret things through their eyes cause it felt like the queen already knew whats going on cause she nod giving them permission to whatever it was. Then the commander spoke again to her communicator "let her in." The doors immediately opened revealing Echo who run towards Clark not caring if she gets punished for not acknowledging the Queen. "oh God.. What happened to you?"she said almost in tears caressing the princess cheeks and kissing her forehead. I can't help but notice how the Queen looked away from the scene. She may not show a lot of emotions physically but her eyes said otherwise. It seems she's hurting? But for what? And why? I really don't understand anything now. Then i felt that warm eyes again almost burning holes due to the intensity of her gaze but i tried to ignore my heart who longed for that hazel brown eyes. I mentally scolded myself cause i knew it would be impossible for someone like the commander liked a former enemy high rank sky lady but now living as a commoner in their land. I sighed heavily. I'm so screwed. I look at the bracelet on my wrist and touched the engraved patterns, this signifies and reminds us of what we are now.
