"We will do all we can Sir."one of the nurses said as they whisked away Bella through the double doors of the emergency room , straight to the operation theatre, were they sitched the cuts of her arms and gave blood transfusion went on to fight the internal hermaging of some vital organs. The operation took two hours, Calel waited outside the emergerceny room pacing around and when saw doctor collins , he asked how the operation was.

"Sure, your welcome."Dr. Collins retoted

His heart was jumping for joy, could it be he would be with his love Bella, for the first time in centuries she had not died, feeling hopeful he rushed to the elevator and punched in the second floor, before rushing to find room 504, it takes some time but he finally finds it . There it was in plane black and white , taking a leap of faith he reaches for the door nob and opens only for him to break down to his knees.

Bella lay there un conscious with oxygen mask on, she lay so still and cold as if the life force had been drained out of her, laying bed like defelated balloon due to high loss of blood as result of deep cuts on her wrists. Calel was heart broken for he hated seeing Bella in any pain , the sight alone would kill him , he wanted nothing more than to see Bella ok with not even a hair out of place .

Her right hand had cannular that was connected to an IV that was filled with blood, her caramel brown eyes closed shut  like coma induced  patient , her skin pale,dry, and lifeless .her lips were a dry purple , with dark circles under her eyes she had never looked  so sick before, Calel thought he would loose her ,the rest of her body was a donned in a blue hospital gown covered in bedding the sight alone terrifed him .

Suddenly the light of the monitor went on and began reading her vitals and her heart beat reading could be see on the monitor as it beeped showing signs of life, overjoyed Calel Called the nurses and the doctor Collins they were all extremely surprised that Bella was still a live , they called it a miracle and reconnected to life support. Suddenly she started convasling once more, this time it so severe that there were she would die, but after an intense fight doctors were able to stabilize her. but she fell into a coma from that day Bella has been in coma but the memories of past together has kept me going.

I remember the first time I saw Bella, it was December 1818, and the smell of white fresh paint fills the grand ballroom of Wilton castle, in the preparation of the prince's homecoming ball. The china and sliver had been freshly polished , silk imported from Germany, the gold crystal chandelier had been freshly cleaned . All the palace maids were cleaning and hanging decorative drapes around the castle, the cooks had to prepare a feast fit for ten kings.

The royal baker was preparing a 20 tier chocolate cake , everything had to be perfect , cause Queen Clarise wouldn't want any either way. The invitations had already been sent out all around the kingdom , to all the maidens in the land , cause it was the ball where would choose his bride. Everyone was excited and were counting hours to the Prince Grand Arrival.

Thousands of screams as well as confetti were being thrown at Prince's royal carriage as it passed the streets of Arion , cause the Prince was coming back after spending five years overseas, inside carriage sat young man with elegance and poise. His enchanting beauty started from the depth of his grey eyes to the gentle expressions of his voice, that made feel as though you were floating on a cloud each time he spoke , He was so handsome that even sun would melt at the sight of him .

It is said his touch was electrifying, it would send vibrations into earths core, making the feel of his hand upon your own so sessional. That would leave you longing for more , that you would become addicted to him , His features were unique and captivating bound to put you under a spell. When his eyes sparkled Angels smiled and when he would sing his dimples would stole your heart ,like perfect sculpture, his body was definitely a work of art.

He was the kind of handsome that got your bones to speak to you, shivers down your spine, his jet black hair always styled in a messy culrly look. He lifts his head letting his grey eyes meet his people as he politely waved at the ongoing roaring crowd , as people sang with delight. The young man in question was Lucian and he wanted nothing do with the ball , just thought of it ruined his mood.

His eyes searched for his mothers "Mum I want nothing to do with that ball, I can't stand fake people" Lucian explained

"You can't do this to me, Lucian, the invitations have been sent besides lots of debutants are coming to the ball, I am sure one will take your fancy.."Queen clarise said

"Fine mother as you wish." and the queen face was filled with a triumphant smile finally she was going to get Lucian married she couldn't help but smile

"So what time is this ball

"it's at 8:00 pm, don't be the late son."

Yes, mother."Lucian retorted

Lucian was tired of the same indifferent people and their pretentious smiles, the boring conservation and endless balls, one more night of it and he was sure to lose his mind. Cause nothing made his blood biol more, his mother always told him that blood connected them uniting a nation, if so why all the hate and fighting ? " Lucian asked his mother confused . There were in the middle of a war and they want to get him married , he could not understand it .

He just had to get away at least for a while , to clear his head , so he decides to make a stop at his favorite pub Johnny's. It was on the upper east side of town , far from the castle and anything regarding the royal family. "stop the carriage." he Ordered and took off his royal garments until he was completely unrecognizable, after which he stepped into the pub and asked for his drink.

"Hey, Johnny the usual," Lucian said snapping his fingers

"Coming right way Sir, it's been right," Johnny replied

"Your finest," Lucian said tapping on the table

"As you wish, "Johnny replied sliding him a glass of the finest beer

Lucian was a regular at the pub, he mostly visited it to forget his problems and be normal without any responsibility and title, the sound loud music and sight of intoxicated people dancing wildly, he could lighten his mood . The sound glasses toasting could be heard all over the pub , as people drunk they're away from their pain and he was hoping to do just that.

Here Lucian could be his true self even if it was just a moment, couples making out, the sight of total disorder and dysfunction just sight he needed to relax. As he drunk his beer at the counter taking it in one go and signaled the bartender for another, and took it as well, he had started drinking excessively. He wanted to forget the pains that were like a wedge eating away at him.

Evoking the wounds of past, taking one more glass he was sure he wanted nothing to do with a senseless ball , which would only awaken rage, anger within him he didn't want to be hurt again. Love has only brought him pain and he was sure one more betrayal would blacken his heart forever.

But he had no choice. Lucian knew he had a duty to his people, tears ren down his face remembering how Mae left him, like two sliver daggers she pierced his heart, without giving a second thought, On how he would feel. Leaving him bleeding mess, he wasn't ready to love again or for a match, much less a wife , but as the crown prince he had a duty to his kingdom . As he took his glass of beer.

Could feel himself getting light-headed , as the alcohol began to take control of him , looking at the wall clock he knew he was late and had to go picking up himself he began staggering to the door. He felt dizzy as he continued to move its clear he had took much today , his vision was blurry as he made his way to the door, the world was spinning around him. He was struggling to keep his balance, bearly able to stand he fought tirelessly to make it door, he had taken more than usual and he regretted it . He continued walking but eventually blacked out on the cold surface of the pub.

Lucian wakes up on his bed while Lilly one of the palace maids tending to him his head was pounding

"Lucian you can't keep doing this, the fate of the kingdom lies with you know that, and yet got yourself drunk again." Queen clarise spoke venomously

"How many times do I have to say it mother, am not interested you know how Mae hurt me, am still grieving you want me to pretend like am not hurting she was my betrothed and she left me, mother, "Lucian yelled back

"Lucian you can keep using it as an excuse your father is planning to hand over the throne to you and you know kingdom rules, you have to be married before taking your place on the thrown , now get dressed , you have a ball attend and as Queen I demand it!"

Yes, mother ."

Lucian was boiling, like a freshly opened wound the memories of his past love still haunted him, the sight of Mae in bed with his brother Cassius, the sight shattered his soul. He saw his dreams in her and seeing with another withered his spirit, like a hot flame she entered his life filling him with hopes and dreams , shining a light in his closed-off heart only to fall in love hard.

Lucian thought he had found the one that completed him, little did know he had invited cancer into his life , now his mum expects him find a wife at ball, yet he was still bleeding . Making his final touches to himself , he looks into mirror convinced he looked his best, he stepped out his room and headed to the ballroom.

As usual, thousand of debutants swarmed around him all of the different shapes and sizes, with only one desire to be his bride, he never understood why swooned over him , losing all sense of self-control. He was human just like them the thought of it alone infuriated him , to top it all off he was hurting, having fake people around him wasn't the only going to make things worse, he couldn't get over the pains of his past. But he had made a promise to his mother, putting on a brave face, he danced with debutant after debutant all of them had same boring conservation.

While dancing the waltz with one of the girls in question kept stepping his feet and with that, he had enough, what was the point anyway when he didn't plan on marrying any of the girls . So after dancing with close to 25 nagging girls, he decides to return to his chamber , cause he knew at that moment that the ball was not going to be any different from the others and would be a wastage of his time, suddenly he stops looks up and sees an Angel.
