Absence Of The Good Prince

Chapter 21 || No Ones Absence

Maybe the wolf man was just my imagination?

I think to myself as i laid across the bed with my legs dangling at the end, I have been thinking of last nights encounter with the wolf man a lot, and the more I think about it, the more it's seems like I had imagined it all,

I mean, I won't be surprised if I did, my mind has been f@cked up lately,

I was sadly snapped out of my thoughts when the door to my room opened,

I site up on my elbow to see who it was, my eyes trailed up a green dress with intricate details until it landed on a woman holding a trey in her hands, she had blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin.

"And who are you?" I question quirking a brow, 

" I'm your fairy god mother" she answered,

I frown a little, "What?"

First dragons,

Then wolf man,

Now a fairy godmother, like what is this a fairytale?

She rolled her eyes, "I'm here to change your bandages, isn't it obvious?" She says, and holds up a white long cloth off the trey she was holding in the other hand,

I sighed  and sat up,

"Do What you have to do,but make it quick" I say,

She goes behind me starts to peel the old cloth off, it stings a little but it's better then before,

" So, what's the deal with you and Fara?"She asked,

"What do you mean?" I say like I don't know what's wrong,

"Last night I saw her come out your room...... sobbing, and she still looks shaken up, I mean she's  kinda an emotional person but, I've never seen her this upset"

I think a little about it,

Gosh, I knew I shouldn't have yelled at her,

"Why do you want to know?"I asked, suspiciously

"Oh you know just curious, I want to know all the latest gossip, but if you don't want to tell me ... that fine"

I sighed,

"She revealed some things about me to the prince that I would've rather preferred private"I explained,

She hummed in response, while nodded her hand and rapping the cloth around my body,

"Well, you did a good job rejecting the prince, not all women need a man to save them, us women are more then capable of saving our self, am I right?" She says,

Wait, how does she know I rejected the prince?

Of course Fara told her,

"Fara does not know how to keep her mouth shut, does she?" I mumbled to my self, but loud enough for the girl to hear,

"Oh don't blame that poor thing, word spreads around fast, some women heard the conversation between you and Fara last night"she proves Fara innocent, and now I feel even more terrible,

I groaned,

"How long?" I am tired of sitting up for so long,

"Just a few more minutes" she answered,

" You know, I can understand what you have been through, my own husband was abusve , he too was a monster, and just like you I tried killing my self"she says out of the blue,

"I'm so sorry" I say out of empathy,

"Oh no need"she says

I wanted to make the situation fun,

"So let me guess, the good prince saved you?"I asked,

"Yup"

We both chuckled, " but he truly is a good person" she continued,

I nod

"I know" I say, "but I don't want to be loved again, and he doesn't seem to understand that", I continued,

" I understand what you feel, but you know what great about us humans, is that we can rise up from the most painful of pasts" she says.

She pat my shoulder letting me know she was done,

I look at her with a new found admiration,

"vara så rotad i din varelse, att nobodys frånvaro eller närvaro kan störa din inre fred" She looks at me and says,

I frown in confusion,

"What?"

"Be So rooted in your being, that nobody's absence or presence can disturb your inner peace, it's something I realized not so long ago" she explained,

"What language what that?"I ask curiously,

"Swedish"

We look at each other for a little while, before she gets up,

"I have to go, see you around, lady Catrina" and with that she left
