Bloody Mary

Y/N

He's in Elemiras? What are we going to do if he gets captured? If they use him as a power source?!

"Y/N!" Boocifer shouts. We've obviously been walking for quite some time, the hallway we're in doesn't look anything like the one by the throne room. It'smuch smaller with a few chairs and a table. There is a long red carpet going a cross the floor. "Y/N!" Boocifer repeats.

"Sorry." I sigh.

"It's quite alright, you just seem really distracted. Is everything alright?" He looks at me, his concern evident. Snare also gripped my waist tighter as if to reassure me.

"I guess I still need to wrap my head around things... I mean, the previous king, Adam I think, he's in Elemiras. What if he doesn't make it back? How will we find the heir?" I start to panic.

Snare takes one of his vines and grips my hand trying to get me to calm down. Boocifer rushes closer to me and takes my other hand. "Deep breaths, Y/N. Take deep breaths. In through your nose and out through your mouth." Boocifer reassures me. I take a deep breath in and then out. In and out, in and out.

"Thank you, you two. I feel a bit better." I sigh and force a smile, trying to hide my worry.

"Listen to me, Y/N. Adam will come back, he's much more cunning than you give him credit for." Boocifer, still holding my hand, starts to lead us down the hall. "He might me going to see her." Says under his breath.

"Who?" I ask.

"His descendants." Boocifer says simply. "His daughter was the one who survived all those years ago. He might have gone to see her children, or great-grandchildren for that matter."

"I see, so they live in Elemiras..." I trail off. "I guess it would be easier to hide in plain sight."

Boocifer continues. "Adam told the council only that his daughter was able to escape. Although, he did tell us that she was almost fatally injured. He told us that she was covered in blood, and some of it wasn't her's." It's obvious that he's trying to distract me. In all honesty, it's helping. "We call her Bloody Mary."

"Her name was Mary?"

"No, we were never told her name, but Bloody Mary seems appropriate, does it not?" He gives me a toothy grin.

"Yes, yes it does." I smile softly. We stop in front of a dark oak door. And then my body finally realizes how tired I really am. My legs collapse under my weight. Luckily Snare is right there to catch me.

"Are you alright?!" Boocifer starts to panic.

"Could be better..." Snare lifts me and puts me on his back. "I have been running on adrenaline for a while."

"When was the last time you slept?" Boocifer asks.

"Define sleep."

"A good night's sleep." Boocifer looks at me unamused. "A full eight hours."

"Three weeks ago..?" I question myself. "I've had a few power naps here and there but most of the time I've practically been sleeping with one eye open..." I shrug, feeling my eyes dropping.

"That's horrible! Why?!" I open my mouth but Boocifer cuts me off. "Don't answer that, we need to get you cleaned up first. Save your strength." Boocifer opens the door and motions Snare and I to come in. "This is your room while you stay with us."

I look around the room, trying to take everything in while I'm ready to pass out. There is a large King Size bed to the left and giant windows straight in front of us. "It's wonderful, thank you."

"There is also a a balcony so you can look at the garden." Boocifer watches me as my smile grows.

"I'm going to have to thank the King again. This is amazing."
