My heart is thumping so loud in my chest I can hear it, did that mean ramses was dead, he didn't move from where he lay on his side, the groaning sounds increased. The heir dropped me on the bed, finally releasing me to go to his father, he knelt down, patting his father's body, inspecting it for injuries, while I lay on the bed, aquasteine and Alexis thrashing the guards to nearly an inch of their lives, zayne bends towards me, his eyes full of tenderness, as he says " We need to get you out of here, you're bleeding " I nod imperceptibly, I'm loosing my sense of hearing, my eyes are swimming even though I'm trying to hold on, I don't want to faint again and have Zoe reminding me to fuck my husbands.
"Can you hear me ravine " Zayne says as he lifts me up from the bed, pain blooming all over, the pressure on the wound is no longer there so the blood gushes freely , I try to lift my hand to hold the wound but I'm to weak, my hand won't corporate. "Where do you think you're taking me wife " The heir says his focus has shifted from his injured father to us, immediately zayne transforms into a dragon and I'm levitating, his honey-gold wings flapping in the air, I'm overtaken by the feeling of buoyancy that one feels while swimming, he flies out of the room, to the gate and away, my eyes are watching.the clouds like I'm in an airplane till we reach someplace that I cannot recognize.
Zayne swiftly comes down from flight and transforms back to his normal state, he's carrying me inside this black building, a woman with black horns on her head, meets him at the door and ushers us in to a dimly litted room, another man with black horns enters the room, his thick eyebrows giving him a scary look.
Zayne drops me on a comfy mattress and I groan in pain, I wasn't even aware that I had developed a fever, I felt hot like i was burning, my head pounding like metal gongs were placed inside them. "Take off my clothe " I say to zayne, needing the burning to stop.
"What the fuck are you talking about ravine, you're sick, you need to be treated, you're not getting railed right now " He growls angrily.
"No I'm not talking about that I feel hot ever there " I murmur trying to make my voice audible but failing terribly at it.
I can hear the woman with the horns on her head instructing the man to get something that sounded like "Burch Wood ampoule and a syringe ".why the fuck did she need a syringe, did beasts take shots too?
" Don't worry, you'll be given some shots for the pain " He pats me head reassuringly as he says this.
"But I hate needles, they hurt and make me swollen " I couldn't believe I was throwing a tantrum but I had to, where I came from if I told the doctor I didn't want shots they would give me drugs.
The man with horns is in my field of vision , he's handing an ampoule containing dark brown liquid and a needle, my heart is leaping in my chest, why was I so anxious about a silly needle, but what if the nurse didn't know how to.
Zayne's hand on my thighs pulls me out of my thoughts. He's shifting my dress and I freeze, I can feel an antiseptic on my thigh followed by the sharp prick of a needle. I cry out but immediately I can feel my eyes blurring, closing against my strubborn will.
A ticklish sensation, wakes me up and I jerk awake, everything is dark, I can feel something on my face and I Pat my face vigorously to remove the thing, I can feel a big insect on my face and I grab it, squeezing it with all my might in revenge for my distress, while trying to distract myself from the fear that I'm the only one here and i can't see anything, I wonder what kind of horror film this is.
I fold my self on the ground, the gritty sand feeling cold at my feet, my teeth chattering from the intense gusts of wind which I don't know where it came from.
Suddenly a light blinks at me, and I jump from fear, did ghosts have light now. The light blinks one more time and the dungeon is awash with light , I have to squint my eyes because it almost feels like my eyes burns.
That recognizable voice echoes in the dungeon "hello ravine, I'm Zoe your system manager " The cartoonish laptop with four legs that resembled those of a swivel chair says. She reminded me of Karen in Spongebob.
"Currently you're passed out thanks to a shot you were given to ease your pain from a bite wound. As your system manager, I've observed that you have been living on oblivion, unaware of why you have been chosen to be in this beast world.
"Permit me to show you, why you were saved " She says her voice calm and unhurried like she had all the time in the world.
Her screen goes blank, and then a scratching white and black image comes on, the screen is replaced by the image of the my home, the porch filled with my dying flowers , I knew no one would take care of them while I was gone.
The screen is soon replaced by my parents in the parlour, my dads bald head, his face buried in a newspaper with "The national " Written in print on the first page. The television is on, Saturday night Live, my mom's favourite show, my mom is sitting opposite my dad, her back rested on her rocking chair her plump arms on the threadbare arm rest, her knitting pin and what she's knitting on her hand. Suddenly the floor caves in beneath them and they seem to be swallowed by the ground.
I scream at the top of my lungs, breathing seeming impossible like someone placed a shoe on my neck.
