PRINCESS EMERIEL

Opening her eyes, and for the first time in days, Emeriel felt.. well. More than well, actually.

The persistent headache was gone, the fever and chills vanished, and the swelling faded as if it had never been.

"How do you feel?"

Her eyes found Aekeira seated beside her, exhaustion mingled with relief in her eyes.

"Aekeira..." Emeriel's voice was a rasp.

"You had everyone worried sick," Aekeira said. "For a moment there, we were starting to fear the worst."

"For a moment there, I thought the worst." Emeriel tried to push herself up with a grunt of effort A sharp pain shooting through her abdomen, and she winced. Aekeira quickly leaned forward, helping her into a more comfortable position, adjusting the pillows behind her back.

"How long has it been?"

"Five days."

Emeriel let out a slow breath. "Five days... That long, huh."

"I'm so relieved to see you alright." Aekeira's smile was strained. "You really scared me."

Emeriel noticed her sister's hands twitching, knuckles flexing. Aekeira wanted to reach out, to hold her, to be sure she was real, but it was clear she was holding back.

These past few years hadn't been easy on them. Emeriel, in her own pain, had distanced herself from everyone-even the one person whose touch had always brought her the greatest comfort.
