1189 Words
I frowns my face, thinking that Miss Margaret will look back, but all I got was seeing her back as she walks.
I stood up and sat on my dressing mirror, I use a wipe to clean my face as I got up, and left my room.
The good day your Highness, I greeted my parents, that wasn't the usual greeting, but I just love teasing them, they usually get upset anytime I greet them, but for now, I just love teasing them.
I sat down and immediately left my hand to rest on the table.
Jane places the food on the dining table. The table is just a table for three, my dad makes sure that during dining we should be close to each other. In the castle, there is also a table for millions of people, which was normally used whenever we do have a guess.
The food on the dining table was looking so intoxicating, my mouth was already drooling due to the food. I hold my dad's hand, while he holds the hand of my mom. We might be royal, but we do pray before we eat, we always hold hands as we pray.
My mom leads the prayers, and when the prayer ended, we all said Amen at the same time, before letting go of each other's hands.
I immediately dig in, because my stomach has been making a lot of noises, I have a big appetite so I just started feeding my big stomach without minding whether my parents were watching.
" Slow down baby girl, you are going to choke," my dad said, he was looking at me with the eyes that say " drink some water".
" Dad I'm not going to choke okay!! I am just hungry and my stomach will get mad at me if I don't feed them properly" I said trying to defend myself.
I drank the wine that was already on my glass cup, the wine wasn't acholic so that was why I was able to drink it. My mom kept on steering at me without ulttering a single word, which made me feel so uneasy.
" Mom are you alright," I ask her in a caring and concern way.
She just smiles at me, while I took as an answer that says " I am okay ".
I wasn't true with the food on my plate, when I suddenly became to feel weak, my stomach started hurting, likewise my eyes. I use the back of my hand to rub my eyes, but instead of it getting better, it started becoming blunt.
" Mom, Dad I think I am fed up," I told them while wearing a lovely smile.
I excuse myself as I quickly got up from my seat and started walking to my room. I wanted to tell my parents that I am feeling dizzy, but I decided not to bother them, maybe it was because I ate in a rush was all my mind could tell me that was happening to me.
I entered my room, forgetting to booth my door because my sight wasn't clear anymore. I walk to my bathroom, like a drunk woman, my legs were very weak, but all I do know is that a glass of non-alcoholic wine can't make me go drunk, nor can it make me start feeling like this.
I use clean water to watch my face, which made my vision suddenly got a little better. I kept pouring water on my face, which helped me, but when I got tired, I took a white napkin and use it to wipe my face.
I walk out of my bathroom with my vision clear, but my legs were all weak. I tried removing my ink blue gown from my body, but I couldn't, I was so weak to the point that I couldn't unzip my gown.
I sat beside the dressing mirror, as I try to fix my hair, I tied my hair in a messy bund, because I could no longer get hold of my body, I felt like someone is draining my strength from my body, but when I try to think straight, all my mind could tell me is that I consumed more than my body could carry, which was affecting me. I remove the earrings and necklace which I wore before and place them on my jewelry box.
My eyes were getting better, which I am grateful for, so I stood up for me to go downstairs, but something unexpected happened to me the next seconds.
I felt like someone was using a hammer to hit me on my eyes and head, my body became so weak and every single thing in my room started to move, I tried my best to get the bottled water that was laying beside my dressing mirror. I poured the full water on my head which row down to my body, and ended up draining my ink blue gown, I took another bottle of water and poured it on my body.
My room was just not being fair with me, it started spinning like if there was spinning a giant wheel.
I lazily walk to my bed and lay down there while looking at the ceiling which didn't seem to have mercy on this precious soul, the ceiling kept on spinning, making my eyes feel numb, and that was when I remember one of Miss Margaret stories, that she usually tells me when I was young.
Miss Margaret once told me about how she almost lost her precious life, she said she went to the beach with her parents when she was six, she played around the beach, but her parents strictly warn her not to go deep inside the water, she was only playing at the side the water could only reach her ankle.
When her parents were busy playing with each other, she decided to dive inside the water, at first it was fun, but when a heavy wave came, she could no longer escape, the water swallowed her and she was still young so she couldn't swim. She said the water took her far away from her parents. Another wave strick, but it wasn't like the first wave, the second wave was stronger and once it swallows you, there's no chance that you can make it alive.
The second wave swallowed her, and she started sinking, she said when she was sinking she could feel herself spinning, she couldn't open her eyes but her mouth was opened, which made her drank a lot of water, she said when she felt like she is already dead, she felt someone's hands at her shoulder, the person drag her out of the water, but that was when she lost consciousness.
The person started hitting her chest and blowing air into her mouth, which brought her back to life.
Thinking of how Miss Margaret almost lost her life, I suddenly got a strong feeling that someone is going to save me. I couldn't hold it anymore as I close my eyes and gave in to the darkness.
