I felt comfortable, I felt relieved, I felt the wind against my face and I loved it, I felt arms strong arms around me, I felt safe... safer than I have ever been before, I heard a heartbeat... it wasn't mine because it beats so slow... was it Cedric's? Cedric.

I slowly open my eyes, I couldn't see, but the moon was so bright and close? and it felt... it felt like we were flying?

☆☆☆

My eyes slowly opened, my vision was blurry, it took some time before my eyes adjusts.

I was in my Chambers, the sunlight from outside creeping in, I tried to move my body but I received pain instead, I laid back down with a groan, I tried to move my leg but then a pain shook through me, my twisted ankle, it was bandage to a point I couldn't feel my leg.

The sound of the doors opening made me turn my attention to it. Olivia walked in, I smiled... I never thought I would see her again.

The moment her gaze met mine, she gasped, loudly.

"My lady you're awake" she announced in joy, tears leaking from her eyes.

"Oli-", before I could even finish my words she was out.

☆☆☆

"Thank the goddesses, you're finally awake... you had us worried," Mother said repeatedly fanning herself.

I just forced a smile.

The man beside me, who I knew to be the physician checked my pulse. He looked elderly, around his 60s or so, He smiled facing Mother and Olivia.

"She's going to be okay now, Mrs. Hartford, she just needs some rest and she will make full recovery" he announced.

Mother took a breath of relief, Olivia started crying.

"You have been in bed for days, we were so worried my lady" she cried.

I smiled.

"It's okay Olivia... I'm okay I just..." I groaned.

"Don't force yourself to speak My lady, you are on medication so your body will tend to be a lot heavier" The physician said.

"Exactly what he said my dear... you will have to stay within your chambers until you have made full recovery, Olivia will be with you 247 to attend to your every need.

Olivia continued to sob.

"Hush now... go prepare something for Sylvia" she ordered.

Olivia nodded, drying her tears.

"I will follow you so that I can administer the tonic," The physician said.

"Thank you, Dr. Osbert"

He gave a nod as they both exited my Chambers.

"Relax Sylvia everything will be alright now" she assured me before sighing.

"You poor child, attacked in the woods, such terrifying thing to experience" she trailed.

There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but I felt some weren't for mother, so I would just ask the simple one.

"L-Lord Cedric," I said weakly.

She smiled taking my hand.

"If it wasn't for Cedric who saved you from those assassins, who knew what would have happened, I was scared Sylvia for your sake"

I could see the sincerity in her eyes, maybe she was really worried about me.

"Do not worry... I'm sure he will come to you when he finds out you're awake"

I gave a nod.

"Rest now, Olivia will be here shortly with your meals", she rose to her feet before walking away.

The moment the door shut I sighed, taking a slight harsh breath, I forced myself to turn to the side, my eyes trembling, The image of what happened that night was fixed in my head, an image I couldn't get out.

The panic and fear I felt, the Nightshades... and more the shouts and breaking of bones, I couldn't get the sound off my head, and the image of Cedric's animalistic appearance. Yes I was afraid I was mortified and I was confused, I couldn't think or understand the situation, but I knew one thing, I badly wanted to see him.

☆☆☆

I moaned as the flavor of the food got to my taste buds, I never knew food could taste like heaven, I guess it would, after days of not eating

Olivia giggled as she watches me eat.

"Olivia, did you see when Lord Cedric brought me in?" I asked with a mouth full of food.

She nods.

"I was confused and worried when Mother arrived here alone, she didn't say a word but her looks were filled with worry, she kept pacing around the entrance, guards were dispatched and then I knew something must have happened to you and Lord Cedric," she said on the verge of tears.

"The whole castle was on high alert even Lord Lawrence was present, we were all so worried and the guards were clueless of where both you might be and then..."

"And then what..." I asked in anticipation.

"We saw Lord Cedric all of a sudden, carrying you in his arms, it was an awful sight"

"W-What do you mean?" I asked scared that she might have seen Cedric's appearance.

"You were both covered in blood... and then we knew you must have been in terrible danger and Lord Cedric came to your rescue..."

"H-His appearance"

"Appearance? Whatever do you mean my lady"

She didn't see it, maybe none of them did, I gulped.

"My lady, is there anything the matter?"

"N-No I'm just dizzy"

She nods bringing my tonic forward.

"You should drink this my lady the doctor said you will make a quick recovery with this" I nod.

☆☆☆

It was night... throughout the whole day Cedric didn't come to see me, Mother said he would but he didn't, I was sad, hurt, he was meant to see me right? As I have just woken up after days of sleeping, wasn't he worried about me?

I pulled my knees to my chest, did he have a reason for not coming to see me? I thought back to what happened that night... could that be it? I have seen him, what he looked like, I gulped, there was one pondering the question in my head "What was he?" I was confused, I knew there was no way he a human could possess such.

I turned to my window, the pitch-black skies illuminated with stars... I remember now, that night was the Full moon, I thought It wasn't expected until a month from now which was my birthday.

I gulped, the day Cora warned me about, her visions weren't subjective.... but I knew one thing, she told me to beware, was it because my life was in danger, or was it because of what Cedric is? Which could it be?
