I don't know how long I laid on Elias' floor before he finally returned with a healer. Bending down he gently lifted me off the ground and placed me back up on his bed. Moving aside he allowed the healer to move in and begin examining my wounds.
"Luckily they aren't deep enough to need sutures." The man spoke as he pulled pieces of tattered fabric away from the wounds causing me to wince.
"Be more gentle." Elias hissed not missing my discomfort. "I brought you here to treat her not hurt her."
"Yes prince." The man said quickly his voice shaking.
Growing quiet the healer busied himself cleaning and dressing the wounds on my back. I couldn't help but realize that the whole time he did it, his hands were shaking. It was clear that this healer was new and he feared Elias greatly.
Finished
