William pushed himself to get up but failed miserably. His arms were flailing as he plopped down again when he couldn't carry the weight of his own body. The man was going wild, like the surge of emotions was the only thing that had pushed him to disregard his sickness.
"William Simeon! Don't be ridiculous!" Maria yelled back. "Stay… put… young man!"
Both were screaming at each other as Will panted and groaned in pain, while his mother pushed him back to the bed as she shouted for help.
She too was getting short of breath, her frail body not enough to make William stay still as he should be.
James and the other servants hurried in. They held William down, four of them grabbing each of his arms and legs, while a fifth held his torso.
"Where is his medication?" Maria demanded. "Get him something to calm down!"
William's mother was screaming her lungs out. She was absolutely panicking from William's sudden outburst.
