Asylum

Chapter 23: PRINCE

Cleo

The moment I open my eyes, I see Sir Marcelo face immediately. He was flooded by relief when he sees me slowly waking up. The room is too unfamiliar to me, this is the first I see a room here in Academy that has a white ceiling.

All rooms that I've been into all have a furnished wood ceiling. Also I am now laying on a soft white bed instead sitting infront of Sir Marcelo inside our Classroom thats the last thing I remember .

"You did it! You conquer your fears and you were able to defeat them? Really?" says sir Marcelo in relief then he give me a proud smile.

I just smiled and nob, too tired.

"Where am I?" I ask in a hoarse voice, but before Sir Marcelo could even answer a number of foot steps barge in inside the room.

"Cleo! Thank Lumiere you are awake now. How are you feeling? Are you okay now?" says Ree dramatically, I could easily recognized her voice even though I can't see her while laying here.

Sir Marcelo stands up from my side and mouthed 'I'll be back' while give a nob at my friends before he gets out of the room. Maybe to give us some privacy

I see her walk directly to my side and hold my hand, while the others Yna, Ymir, Renz also follow her and walk on the side of my bed.  All of them carry a same face. worried with a flash of relief. except Ymir of course inspite of  relief in his eyes he flash me an mischievous smirk well typical Ymir.

"I'm feeling quite well" I give them a smile but look at them in confusion. How did they know I am here?

I was shocked when Shine pop out of nowhere in front of my face same as the others but I immediately smile when I see her. She head directly on the side of my face and tucked a beautiful white flower on my ears.

I smiled gratefully at her "hey little one" I reach her and tap her head gently. She answered it by hugging the side of my face as if she also gone through my pain.

My attention are now back to Ree and the others "how did you all know I am here?"

" Yesterday Shine can't stop flying back and forth as if something is bothering her, It was lunch time that she was slowly weakening we are all inside our room when we notice that she did not join playing with Tinkles and Blossom instead she just sitting on your bed while her eyes is closed. Her light are slowing dimming and we were so worried for her. Then suddenly she opened her eyes and fly out of the room, we tried to ask her 'where is she going' 'what happened to her' 'is she okay' but she just continue flying as if she's in a hurry so instead of asking so many question we just follow her. Then she entered this room, A healer's room. And we found you laying on that bed, for a second you were grunting then you were screaming in pain. Just what happened to you Cleo? We were so worried the moment we see you in here laying in there suffering from something" Yna said worriedly at me then she take a step to hold my other hand.

Auh so that's why they ended up here maybe they also tell Ymir and Renz what happened to me that why they are also here. Wait... what?!

"That happened yesterday?!" I ask in wide eyed

"Yes Cleo, Yesterday and you even suffer from a high fever last night said the healer Mrs Agatha. We were here first thing in the morning, we just need to go because we need to attend classes but we bring foods, fruits and flowers here. You need to eat to get your energy back" now it is Renz who answer my question, aws look my Renz is worried for me. 

Suddenly Ree poke my side, I immediately look at her side. She just give me a playful grin, I just give her a raise brow but nonetheless I can't hide my smile. Just their presence and the whole situation always lighten up hays.

"Just what time it is now? Lunch time maybe? For you to be able visit me?" I ask hopefully, maybe I could be able to attend even afternoon class.

"No Cleo, it already 4:00 pm and the whole day class just ended" Ymir butt in with a grin, he is just like Ree alright always ruing the mood.

"So I miss a whole day class and half? ohh god I though it just been an hour" I said frustratingly.

"Don't worry you were excused, we just said that you had a high fever because we really had no idea what is happening to you and they confirm it to the healer." Says Renz, I sight in relief and smile at them gratefully. I might not be lucky to the family I ended up but I could really say that I'm really lucky to the group of friends I ended up.

"Okay Students you can leave her to me and you may all go back to your dorm rooms now. Maybe she will be discharged later so just wait her on your dorm okay" said a middle aged woman in a white dress who just enter the room with papers in her hands. She put the papers on her desk just beside the door and head to my bed. Maybe she's the healer Mrs Agatha

She immediately check my temperature and a blue light came out from her hand to my forehead and a soothing feeling indulge me then she nob towards my friends.

"Then we will be off Cleo, make sure to eat the food okay. I personally cook it for you" says Renz with a gentle smile.

I smiled at them then Ree hug me from my side "then we will wait for you at the dorm"

They slowly head outside after saying goodbye except Shine she remain at my side, not long after Sir Marcelo enter the room once again.

Sir Marcelo smiled at me "How are you feeling Cleo?"

"I'm feeling great Sir Marcelo, I feel like something very heavy within me has been lifted" I smiled gleefully

"Then thats good, you were able to protect and take back what is rightfully yours plus you were able to prevent the worst thing and that is to be controlled" He said proudly at me.

"Did the healer know?" I ask sir Marcelo while simply look at the healer at my side who is looking at me intently.

"Yes I know what is happening to you and that what was inside you. I'm a healer so I should really know what is wrong with my patients right? Also call me Mrs Agatha" she suddenly said while still looking at me as if thinking.

"I didn't think you could even make it not with those high fever, screams and almost two days of asleep. Right Sir Marcelo" Mrs Agatha said seriously at me

"Yes, your a one tough fella Cleo. That's why I even ask you if you were able to defeat them because you were really on the edge of being controlled you voice even keep changing" say Sir Marcelo

"Really? Maybe I'm really nearly controlled" I said as I remembered what just happened to me.

"Wait how did I ended up here? Don't tell me you bring me here Sir?" I ask in confusion

"No, Actually Prince Daniel is the one who carried you here" says Sir Marcelo

"Ohh okay Prince Daniel .....what?! The Prince?!" I raise my voice out of surprised.
