They're Dead

CELESTE

I woke up with an aching head and I felt weak. My body is weak. I roamed around my eyes but I didn’t see Elias in my room. No one is inside but I can sense that there are guards outside of my chamber

I tried to get up but my body is weak and I couldn’t move. I caressed my womb and I still could feel my little bean on it. I tried to pull myself up but I really can’t.

‘Elias. . . .’ I called him.

‘Yes, my queen? Are you fine?’ he asked.

I closed my eyes. ‘I－I’m fine. Where are you?’ I asked him.

‘I’m just doing something important, baby. . . .’ he replied. ‘Just rest okay? I need to do something. Some errands to finish, hmm?’ he added.

‘Where exactly are you, Elias?’ I asked using my soft voice. I want him here. I want him beside me. ‘I felt weak, where are you? My head hurts. . . .’ I told him.

I heard him sigh. ‘I’ll let Greta check you up. . . .’ he just mumbled.

My forehead creased. I felt betrayed. Doesn’t he want to stay beside me? Fuck pregnancy! I get this too emotional.
