I continue crawl, seeking any form of help from anyone, but they all run away, I'm losing consciousness as the minutes go by , I don't want to know what will happen if I pass out. I continue, trying to reach out to anyone that could help me;
"Please, just help me, I'm begging you.... I don't want to die!! " I scream, my voice hoarse and shaky.
They all run away, living me in a pool of my own blood, I lay there, as the heat from the sun hits my body, I feel my conscious slipping, my mind going blank and my body going cold;
"Oh... So this is death..... It's painless but calm" I whisper to myself, as I slowly close my eyes, embracing my fate.....
But then, I hear a voice, I can't make out what their saying but they seem concerned, the heat of the sun is blocked by a figure, it appears to be a woman, I can't hear what she's saying but I can see her face.
She has short blonde hair with a ponytail on the back and two bangs up front, her green emerald eyes gleamerin in the sunlight, her appearance seemed young, if I could guess probably at least in her early 20s.
I reach my right arm out, trying to seek her assistance, but due to my injuries, it falls before it could reach her. As my hand falls, I feel myself slipping, but before it could reach the ground, she grabs my hand into her hands, her touch is warm and soft, like a pillow, I look at her before my vision completely fades, a soft smile on her face, I hear a faint but comforting words from her;
"Don't worry, you're safe now, I won't let you die... " she says, her voice soft and concerning.
I close my eyes as she embraces me in her arms, her warm spreading across my body.
I wake up, not knowing where I am, I couldn't see anything at first but I could soon make out my environment, my head is pounding as my ears ring.
I look around, I notice I'm a room, it seems like a bedroom, it's well kept and properly managed, it seems like a high class bedroom, perhaps those of nobles or wealthy, I turny head left and right, trying to get feeling back into my neck, I can't feel my arms but I can move my legs.
I hear a door open, I turn my head towards the door, I she a woman with a small bucket and cloth, she's wearing a maid outfit, she had pink-redish hair, she approaches me, seeming to be thinking about something, she reaches the edge of the bed and sits on a chair, she places her hand on my forehead;
"Oh your fever has gone down, you must be feeling better" she says, with no emotion in her words.
She dips the cloth into the bucket of water , and places it on my forehead, removing the sweat, I slowly tilt my head towards her;
"Hey.... Could you be a little bit more gentle, my head hurts.... " I say with a sore voice.
She stops and looks at me, an expression of shock and disbelief, she presses the cloth on my forehead, pushing it down a bit;
"What the fuck is wrong with you!!!, why are you awake, how are you awake!!!, why didn't you say anything!!!! " she screams at me, standing up and running off, I notice something about her as she runs off;
"Did she have a tell...??? " I ask myself
I hear murmur and loud chatting, the door opens wide open as she returns with a woman, she is calling this Woman master, I look at the maid and the woman, my eye widen as I recognize her;
"You see master, this man has been awake the whole time, his just been pretending this whole time!!" The maid says angerly, complaining to her master.
Her master dismisses this and tells her to fetch some medicine, maid leaves at her masters voice command, leaving the two of us together. She sits besides me, cupping my cheek with her soft hands, she smiles at me, and says;
"You're finally awake, I'm glad we didn't lose you, my name is Saber Scarlett knight of Vertoria and you're under my care"
I relax into her embrace, feeling warm and safe.
