Missions from God: Pisces

Chapter 11

“Just relax!” Sagittarius has gotten annoyed with Felix’s nonstop strolling across the room.

Back and forth... left to right... forth and back... right to left...

“I'll stop when she's awake!” Felix has not stop worrying for the past three hours, it pains him to see Pisces, the woman he loved lying motionlessly on that cold, damp bed.

Sagittarius rolled her eyes at Felix's foolishness; she snuggled back to Aloysius’s arms and yawned. She need a good damn rest too after that action packed afternoon, a nice hot shower would be nice.

Aloysius adjusted his position so Sagittarius could rest in a more comfortable position. He brushed back the deep brown hair behind her left ear, soothing her back as she lay soundlessly on his lap.

Felix grunted and scowled then he set himself down on a luxurious chair beside the bed. He knew deep down that Sagittarius was tired too; he knew that the situation could have gone much worse than this but this doesn’t stop him from regretting and blaming himself.

“How could I left Pisces unattended in this giant castle!” especially on days like today where traitors and socialists are lurking around, wanting for their chance to get their hands on the royalties...

“Unattended?! What am I? A speck of dust in the air?” Sagittarius raised her eyebrows at Felix’s comment.

Felix ignored Sagittarius, he gazed into Pisces's flowing aqua hairs; they positioned themselves neatly around her petite face, he held out a hand and gently places it on her cheek, it was as soft as he had imagined, softer than any silks. Her big blue eyes that never seem to be out of tears are now hidden behind her eyelids, he continued inspecting her further down to her eyelashes, noticing a hint of movement along the lashes causing the shadows below her eyelid to move as well. Overwhelmed by relived and excitement Felix rosed abruptly.

Sagittarius flinched at the rattles caused by Felix's sudden movement, “What now?” she moaned.

“She moved!”

Sagittarius gave out a laugh and mimicked “She moved, of course she moves, she’s not dead yet.”

Felix wanted to throw Sagittarius out of this room but he knew that Aloysius would not allow it and moreover Pisces will be sad if she finds out. He settled down and chooses to ignore Sagittarius and returned to his observation on Pisces.

Then finally after all the tension, Pisces has finally awakened, she seemed to be confused of her whereabouts. “Where am I...?” She muttered slowly.

“You're in one of the castle's guest room, Pisces; is it alright with you if I called you that?” Aloysius explained.

Pisces stumbled as she tried to pull herself up, “Oh yes, Pisces is fine.”

Felix helped her sit up, letting her body put its weight on his, worrying about Pisces’s body he asked “How are you feeling?”

“I don't know...” she groaned, “My body seems to be aching; I can’t even lift my arms.”

“Of course it would be aching genius!” Sagittarius butt in, “Using dream maze in our current condition is like risking our life!”

“Dream maze...?” Felix questioned.

“...Current condition?” Aloysius asked curiously.

‘Oh god! I let my mouth got the better of me again, I'm always too straightforward, now what...? No, I can’t let my secret as a goddess leak out!’ Sagittarius’s mind raced furiously from start to finish. Without anything in mind to cover her wording incident she shrieked and stood up unexpectedly, “Well, we’ll let those two have a little chat!” she grabbed Aloysius’s arm and speed out of the door, slamming it shut behind her.
