The King And His Fox

chp 20

Hallows pov-
"some one get some cloth he's bleeding to much!"

"Here my lord"

"Please be gentle he lost to much be safe with the wound now go"

"Oh no what did he do?!"

"We are losing him!!"

"HALLOW!!"

my memories bashed together as tho my head was in shambles it was odd feeling so comfy but also cold at the same time  it felt like I was floating but in a little box all I could see was flashing light and mumbled noise all around me

Hallow-"hello?! Anyone there hello!"

*Hehe*

The sound of small laughter echoed in the void like a sweet song playing in my ears.

Hallow-"um excuse me but can you tell me where I am?!"

Yelled out but nothing answered back.

Hallow-"please I need to leave this place where are you?!"

"Why leave?"

The voice suddenly close and soft right behind me echoed loudly in my ears.

As I turned around I saw a small child holding my tail with a pouty look on her face.

Hallow-"oh I am sorry I upset you but I need to leave this place"

"Why tho it's nice in here me and you can be together forever"

I watched as the young child swayed and tugged on my tail with sweet playfulness only a child could do.

Hallow-"please understand I have to help my king and my kingdom I can't keep playing ok"

"Who cares about daddy!"

Her sudden words startled me as she began pouting more with anger.

Daddy??!!?

Hallow-"excuse me who are you?"

As I said the words her small face looked up  from her crimson locks revealing big blue eyes and small round face

"Does Mommy not know about me?"

As tho a sudden click went of in my head so did my body suddenly fall from thoughts and wake up painting in sweat.

Beth-"whoa easy you were really hurt at the fight what's wrong?"

Hallow-"um nothing just a bad dream"

Beth-"well I am glad you're finally awake the king was getting worried that you may have gone brain dead but luckily not the case"

Hallow-"how long?"

Beth-"about a week and a half"

Hallow-"what?! It's almost time for the war I can't be laying here!"

I suddenly tried to get up but was forced back by the sudden sharp pain in my back.
As I looked down I realized my whole left side was covered in gauze and cloth showing blood and stains.

Beth-" ya I wouldn't do that idiot you were stabbed several times in the back and we're slice deep in your left arm"

Hallow-"ya but the war and training I can't be sitting here wasting time"

Beth-"you really don't know when to quite first the king incident now this listen if I have to deal with a injury of yours again you will wish you hadn't been injured"

Hallow-"I am so sorry beth I was speaking out of place "

As she got to the cloth I watched as she uncovered my wound red and raw still not healed but probably better then when it happened.

Hallow-"ouch!"

Beth-"sorry but it's still a little raw still I am sorry if it hurts"

Hallow-"it's ok umm by the way what does this all mean?"

Beth-"what do you mean?"

Hallow-"like for the kingdom and all?"

Beth-"oh the attack well war is under way and the king plans to go once everything i settled here"

Hallow-"really that soon?"

Beth-"well after that it made the king anger to think some small kingdom from the north tried destroying are kingdom so easily"

Hallow-"oh I see is he ok?"

Beth-"the king yes very much so he's as determined and as healthy as he could be"

Hallow-"that's nice to hear"

Beth-"would you like to see him?"

Hallow-"but you said I have to rest?"

Beth-" yes in a wheelchair we are doing nothing else ok"

Hallow-"yes no training"

Beth-"good now let me finish up and we can head out"

Hallow-"ok"

As she rolled me down the halls of the castle the sky outside showed a strong fall day with a general breeze playing with the trees it made my mind wonder as thoughts of my home and that dream came to my mind as the door of the kind study came into view.

Beth-"hey we're here "

Hallow-"oh sorry thank you I'll try to roll In myself if you don't mind I need to talk to him privately"

Beth-" yes sure I'll wait out here till your done"

Hallow-"thanks"

Beth then knocked and open the room to Mathews very large study and mathew looking over papers and parchment.

Mathew-"yes what is it I am busy right now?"

Hallow-"well I thought you could give me some time to talk"

His hand dropped the paper as he looked up from his chair stunned and surprised

Hallow-"hey how are...."

His body moved fast as he hugged me on his knees trying to get as close as possible.

Mathew-"don't ever leave me like that again it scared me so bad I thought you died!"

I watched as he rambled on and on as he hugged my chest tightly for dear life causing my body right in under his touch.

Hallow-"Mathew your killing me"

Mathew-"oh no I am so sorry I don't know what I was thinking"

Hallow-"your fine I understand ok but..."

Mathew-"but what are you not ok what's wrong did Beth hurt you??"

Hallow-"no not at all but I need you to know I can't be with you"

Mathew-"don't be rediculous like I would ever.."

Hallow-"Mathew the potion only works if you already love the person I know from what Beth calculated"

Mathew-"I can explain ok just let me think ok"

He then got up from his knees and walked towards his desk paceing a little.

Hallow-"what is there to explain my king you like me ok and I as your knight will never be anything more ok.."

Mathew-"I know ok!"

Hallow-"My king ?..."

Mathew-"please do not treat me like I don't know that I as king must Marry a noble and be with one for the rest of my life but..."

Hallow-"you love me don't you that's why"

Mathew-"I do "

Hallow-"my king I am sorry I do not feel the same but understand I am a knight and do not want special treatment ever again from you"

Mathew-"I promise"

His face now blank and sad went back to the desk and began working again on his work it remained silent until the sound of my chair moving inturupted and the sound of the door shutting leaving quite emptiness in the large room.
