Greed And Disease

"Ian I didn't know you guys had western fish in your ponds!" I said walking into Ian room. "That's... So cool." I paused when I notice he wasn't nearly as cheery as he was when I left him. His was filled with so many mixed emotions. "You okay?" I asked nervously, feeling my hands began to get sweaty.

He didn't answer at first, his back was facing me and I could tell he was looking at something in his hand, and for some reason, I had this hunch that maybe, just maybe, it might be the earring. Most of the time my panic guessing tend to be right. I was strangely hoping that now was not one of the times I was right.

"Yeah... I'm fine." He finally answers and stood up. It felt like everything just went in slow motion, he turned to look me in the and opened his fist.

There is was.

The earring was dangling from his two fingers.

I went still, I didn't know whether I was happy or disappointed. I should be happy right? Yeah! I get to go home and I'm sure I can still talk to Ian every once in a while as friends. Yeah! This isn't so bad! Guess I just hated the end to an adventure.

Or so I thought.

"You can leave now..." he said as a turned to look away. "Don't bother trying to say 'hi' if we ever run into each other again. It will only cause trouble for both of us."

I felt myself go stiffen even more and my hands became cold and wet like a fisherman from the far north. "B-but- what-"

"You can keep the clothes... consider it a thank you. Now go on, I have things to do."

I stood there for a little while longer, still trying to process everything that just took place. Once it finally sunk in I swiftly walked out.

I stormed down the hallway, past guards and other servants. Everything suddenly became too loud. Hearing a million voices at once. Not sure if someone were real or just sounds of my imagination. Everything started to hurt.

I couldn't breathe, my lungs started to burn harshly and my back began to feel like a thousand royal spears piercing my back all at once and repeatedly. Things happened all to quickly and I never knew how to handle them.

I wasn't going to cry. Not over Ian. I knew it was coming. I was prepared for that. I'm not stupid I know how things in the palaced worked. I knew ho people worked.

But I was expecting to get so quickly. Almost like... it was just waiting for me.

I quickly turned into an alleyway once I got outside. Everything was just a complete waste of time. I failed. I got captured even when everyone said it would happen, helped try to find an earring only for all that effort to equal and easy find for Ian. Now all that is over I'm only going to male the time at home harder by walking in with a past illness to come back and haunt me. All the doctors said it was gone. They said I would be fine.

Melanoma is a bitch.

Asthma is a bitch.

Fatigue is a bitch.

I wheezed quietly to myself. I sat down in a corner of the alley and tried to calm myself. I probably got too worked up. That's fine. I'm fine. It'll go away. I don't need help. It's okay. It's not there. It's all in your head.

Everything has happened way to fast. I was scared, then I wasn't sacred. I was hurt, then I wasn't hurt. I was sad, then I wasn't sad.

I've always been there for myself and I'm doing just fine. I don't need help.I'm fine on my OWN!

I took a deep breath. In and out. Over and over again until the wheezing was inaudible.

I'm a strong person. None of this bothers me. I'm used to it. It doesn't affect me. None of it does. I'm fine. Just fine.

I stood up and brushed myself off.

I know I'm strong because after all of that I didn't shed a single tear. So I know I'm fine.

I was still rather close to the palace so I was in a wealthier part of the city. I tall slim tan women walked past me, gold everywhere on her. I quickly snatched a few items off of her and began to make my way back home. Snatching things off of unknowing victims as I did so. By the time I would get home my pockets would be filled. I refused to go home without anything. I refuse to be a failure.

Yeah.... Because I'm fine. I told myself as a small cough slipped through my lips.
