It was painful, so so painful. I cover my mouth and start coughing, the feeling of needles pricking my throat. Swallowing hurts, as if I'm taking gulps of broken glass.

I try to stand up only to fall to the floor with no strength to even lift my head.

'Is this... is this how I'm going to die..? From a stupid fever..?'

Those were the last thoughts I had in this world. Only to wake from the noise of people screaming and yelling.

"The princess is alive!! She started to breathe again, bring the royal healer in!!"

'So noisy.... shut up dammit! There's a sick person here!’

She felt a throbbing pain in her head and opened her eyes only to end up shutting them again because of the brightness in the room.

"Too bright..!" She grumbled and tried to move only to have someone hold her shoulder down.

"Princess please! Do not get up, you are still unwell, just wait for the royal healer, he shall be here soon."

A man's voice can be heard saying so.

"Annie, Marybeth go get more damp towels, the princess is covered in sweat, how were you people caring for her before now!!?"

"Please sir, forgive us! We haven't noticed till now!"

"Enough of your excuses, we will speak again about this, when the princess is well, now get out and get the towel!"

'People stop screaming, the pounding headache is killing me!'

Before she could say anything, her mind grew hazy, the last thing she heard was.

"The royal healer has arrived! Do not worry your highness, you shall be well again, I promise y..."

The feeling of someone holding my hand and gently stroking my hair, I fell into another deep slumber. The next time I woke up, I regret opening my eyes again.
