The King

I'LL SAVE YOU

The beautiful Charlie Hunnam in his full costume as my king Arthur. 

she gasps awake, her heart beating too fast she's sure she was having a nightmare. It's just she can't remember what it was. 

She notices the noise instantly. She looks up at the bed and gasps. 

"Oh god" she wheezes and hurries up but she can hardly see a thing. She hurries to the lamp and lights it up. 

she freezes at his sight, absolutely shocked and appalled. He's worst than she expected him to be, so much worst. Blue almost violet are his veins, they pop out of his pale skin so much its like someone drew them on. The veins color his face and down his neck. 

she first struggles to take off his armor then she rips off his clothes, Leaving him in his underpants. The veins all over his body are colored, Bell has never seen anything like this before. The sight of him scares her. His lips, under eyes and nails are a shade of blue. He turned into a creature of white, blue and violet. She opens the bandage and stares in horror at the hole. She almost sits next to him and waits for his death because surely there was no saving him. Bell isn't even sure if he's human but she wraps it again and gets out of the house. She needs medical supplies so she goes to the shop that she used to buy from when she lived here. She hopes to see the physician that works there but when she gets there it's closed and empty. 

She breaks in. Knocking down the door and raiding the place. Grabbing all the things she needed. Equipment, herbs and everything in between and she even finds food. She throws it into a basket and runs out of there, closing the door behind her. 

she reaches him in no time and sits next to him and starts getting to work. She then chews another flower and spits it onto his wound. She covers his whole wound with this paste and then wraps it with another cloth. 

he's shaking now, his head moving side to side. He's moaning something, murmuring incoherent things. Bell has been too busy with the shock of the appearance of his body, she didn't pay attention to him. 

"shhh" she says "you're going to be fine" 

she grabs the cooled hot water with flowers in it and pulls him up, she sits behind him to support his back as she tries to pour in the drink. He spits it out instantly. 

"shh" she says as his moans continue "its good for you just a bit" 

She tries again and eventually gets a bit of it in him. She sighs and puts him down again "I know it hurts" she tells him as she strokes his hair "you're going to be fine" 

she sighs and leans her back on the wall, his head on her lap. She reaches for the basket and takes out bread. She eats as she strokes his hair and lays the cloth with cold water on his forehead. 

she doesn't know what to do. She doesn't even know what poison that is. She wishes she would be able to identify its type just from the symptoms but she's never seen anything like this in her entire life. Days like these she misses her grandmother the most. She'd definitely know. 

"Auh" he says aloud "ahhh" 

Bell frowns, worried he might start screaming. 

20 minutes later Bell is pacing the cot as his screams of pain echo into her brain. They're not loud screams but screams nonetheless. 

she doesn't know what to do. She's given him everything. There's nothing she can do without its remedy and she cant get the remedy without knowing what it is. Suddenly it dawns to her that this soldier who saved her friend's life will die. She walks over to him, crestfallen and sits on the bed. Laying his head on her lap and starts singing a song her grandmother used to sing.
