He loved her
Lucia’s p.o.V
Most people say that when unconscious you can hear the voices of your loved ones talking to you. You can hear their words, their constant assurance that you would be fine and everything.
But not me. It was dark. With nothing to look forward to. The voices I heard where mine, bouncing back at me as I shouted for help from the dark endless pit I had found myself.
I heard weeping sounds. It sounded like mine but at the same time it wasn’t. I knew it
wasn’t.
Then, everything started to fade away.

The gentle familiar voice greeted me as my eyes gree5ed me with colours instead of the dark pit I had found myself on for goddess knows how long.
“you are awake!” the familiar voice said. I couldn’t put a face to the voice as I was still trying to process everything.
I blinked trying to get my vision to work correctly. Nothing.
“Lucia” the voice called gently this time around. “are you there?” I turned to the
direction of the voice.
“Constance?” I called unsure and a little bit scared of what going on.
“Luzia” that familiar voice drawled out. Causing my body to vibrate. I was in his embrace in no time, but instead of the warm and fuzzing feeling I felt, I felt like I was being
poured acid.
I pulled out of his hug immediately, pushing him as far as i could which honestly, I didn’t
think was far.
“Luzia?‘ He had this unsure tone to his voice. I cursed out loud looking around and trying
my best to blink out the blurry feeling but it was a futile attempt.

“I cant see!” I shouted in panic, looking from left to right hoping it would get better. “I
can’t fucking see!” my voice came out more broken than I anticipated. I swallowed.
“Lucy, you need to calm down.” It was Helios. His voice did a lot of things to me. It made
me want to calm down and let him handle everything, only that this time, I knew it was not something that could be easily fixed.
“I can’t see, Helios” I whispered. Looking in the direction his voice came from and as expected, seeing nothing but a blurry figure.
Helios p.o.V
I watched helpless as she looked around helpless. I looked to the maid. She seemed to
know what was going on but she wasn’t saying anything. I had to keep it together. Luzia already seemed to be falling apart, I couldn’t afford to do the same right now.
I took a step closer to her, trying to comfort her with my presence, but I did not miss the way she pulled away from me almost instantly.
“you are pulling away from me.” I stated. Looking at her with observing eyes.
“It hurts, when you touch me” she said in the lowest voice. It hurt. To see the person you love say that.
The person you love.
The words rang in my mind for about a moment.
She wasn’t just anyone. I wasn’t just obsessed with her.
I did not just see her as someone that Was just part of my kingdom. No. I saw her as something more.
“I am sorry” I muttered, feeling defeated. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t look at the pity that was drawn across her face, desperately crying out for help. “I wish I could have protected you” the guilt was eating me alive.
I moved to leave her alone because I thought that is what she would have wanted.
“Helios?” she called, stopping me from leaving. “please don’t leave me” she sounded scared. It took me back to the times I first came to the castle when my mother would

sneak in.
“please don’t leave me mum” I remember begging her to stay with me. I also remember sometimes she would have to leave before my father came back and saw her.
“I would never” I said getting close to her but actively avoiding touching her.
“promise?” she asked looking up to me like a child.
“I promise.” I said pecking her cheek but she drew back from me “I am sorry.”
I stayed by her side through out the night, never leaving and hoping that what ever it wa we would get through it.
I looked at her, somewhere in the night, she had fallen back to sleep. I looked at her, like really looking at her. At all the time checking out each detail of her face. The things I dic
not know I had missed before.
This wasn’t out of fear or anything, I had come to realise that I truly and utterly was in
love with Lucia.
