The Vampire King

Chapter 7

Harry:

I carried Kiara bridal style and vampire sped her to the palace's medical room.

"Anastasia!" I yelled as I heard Kiara's heartbeat increase and she started shaking in my arms, I looked at her fragile, frightened state and felt my eyes soften.

"Relax love, I don't know if you can hear me, but you need to breathe" I said clearly and gently.

The doctor Anastasia suddenly entered the room and was shocked by the sight that was in front of her.

"Your majesty?" She asked surprised, I've never been one to enter the palace with a woman, let alone an unconscious one in a ball, well somewhat party dress. 

"Her body gave out when we arrived here from the human world" I answered her unasked question and Anastasia nodded looking at Kiara, I'm guessing listening to her heartbeat.

"Please place her on the bed sire, make sure her head is in a comfortable right state on the pillow" Anastasia said and I obeyed gently fixing Kiara's head on the pillow, I took in her features, her brown curly locks, plump lips, her makeup was slightly smudged from her crying.

"What’s her name?" Anastasia asked slowly catching my attention and distracting me from my trance.

"Princess Kiara" I said as I let go of her and Anastasia came and took my place in front of Kiara.

"Your highness, I need to ask you to leave" Anastasia said calmly.

"No" was my simple firm answer, I needed to know what was wrong with her.

"King Harr..." I stopped Anastasia.

"No, do whatever you want with me here, I'm not leaving" I said sternly.

Anastasia sighed but nodded and started examining Kiara's shaking body, she injected a needle in her hand and a clear solution started dropping slowly as it entered her body.

I listened to Kiara's heartbeat which wasn't slowing down, her chest was rising and falling rapidly as if she were struggling to breathe with every going second.

Anastasia then checked her adrenaline measurement, blood pressure, fever.

"She's under shock, the teleportation must've been the reason" Anastasia said, and I nodded, my eyes were glued to Anastasia as she worked, she put an oxygen mask covering Kiara's mouth and nose.

"Princess Kiara, love I'm a doctor my name is Anastasia, you're having a panic attack sweetie and you need to calm down for your sake" as Anastasia spoke to Kiara she used her own power which was to relax and heal patients.

I heard Kiara's heartbeat slow down and saw that she was beginning to relax.

I smiled and slowly walked over to her and leaned to kiss her forehead.

"You're going to be okay" I whispered before kissing her cheek.

"You can take her now, but I do recommend that she sleeps in your chamber tonight sire, or that someone stays in her own chamber with her for the night" Anastasia said, and I nodded.

Anastasia removed the oxygen mask and gave me a small bag with medication inside "if she gets another panic attack give her one of this, and if she needs anything give me a call and I'll be right there sire" Anastasia said and I nodded.

"Thank you" I said slowly, and she nodded.

I gently lifted Kiara's small body in my arms and vampire sped us toward my chamber nodding at the guards to open the door which they did immediately for me and the princess to enter.

I slowly placed Kiara on my bed and took off my suite jacket.

I called the maids I had assigned to be her companions while she was at the palace and they came rushing in at my call.

"Change the princess into a comfortable nightgown" I ordered, and they nodded as I walked to my chamber's terrace giving them their privacy.

"Sire" Rosally, one of her maids called, I turned to find her bowing down as she looked on the ground.

"The princess's dress has been changed, is there anything else you might need?" She asked and I shook my head dismissing her before walking back inside.

I stared at Kiara as she peacefully slept, her chest rising and falling as goosebumps rose on her arms upon feeling the cold breeze hitting her.

I sighed and walked over to her covering her body with my black blanket and placed her head on the pillow admiring her sleeping, relaxed form, she was indeed a beauty, if only she knew what how powerful she was to be in this kingdom.

I sat on the white leather couch which I had in my room and sighed, I really do hope this marriage works, if it did so much would be solved.

I ran my hands through my hair thinking, how was I to make a marriage like this work, with a stubborn princess like this one?

And her being forced to do it was not at all helping the situation.

But it had to.

I had to make sure of it...

Why?

Because so many lives depended on it.

Including mine...
