Nikolas' eyes flutters open, groggily he takes in his surroundings and he was met with an unfamiliar face man wearing a lab coat, indicating that the man is a doctor but what made Nikolas' heart race and his body tense up was the fact that the doctor was a vampire.
"Get away from me!" Nikolas shouted, trying to move out of bed, but his body felt heavy and weak.
"No, no, Your Highness," the doctor said, holding up his hands in a calming gesture. "I am here to treat you, to help you recover."
Nikolas' eyes widened in confusion. "Your Highness?" he stammered. "Why are you calling me that? I'm just a slave..."
Nikolas' mind reeled as he tried to process the doctor calling him that , What did it all mean? He didn't have time to ask questions, as the doctor began to come close,his fangs glinting in the light.
A look of fear and panic crosses Nikolas' face as he shouted "Get away from me!" his voice echoing off the walls.
But what made Doctor sooj eyes to widen in surprise was the sudden change in Nikolas' eyes. As he shouted, his green irises had turned to a milky white as if a veil of frost had over come them. The doctor had never seen anything like it before.
"Good heavens!" the doctor exclaimed, taking a step forward. "What's happening to your eyes"
Nikolas' face contorted in a mixture of fear and confusion. . "Just get away from me!" he shouted, his white eyes darting wildly around the room.
Doctor sooj hesitated unsure of what to do. He had never seen an ability like this before. He took a cautious step forward, his hands held out in a calming gesture.
"Nikolas ,please," he said softly. "I'm here to help you. Let me examine you."
But Nikolas was beyond reason. He scrambled out of bed, his white eyes flashing with a fierce, otherworldly energy. The doctor was shocked to see Nikolas' body begin to tremble and contort,
"Get away from me!"
"Get away from me!"
" Get away from me!"
Nikolas screamed, his body trembling and glowing . Doctor sooj took a step back,He had never seen a patient react like this before. Nikolas' behavior was frantic almost as if possessed.
"Nikolas, please calm down," Doctor sooj tried to reason, "I have stepped back"
But Nikolas didn't listen. He kept shouting, his voice growing louder and more frantic. And then, things in the room started to float. The bed sheets, the medical equipment, even the doctor's notes, all of it rose into the air by an unseen force
"Get away from me!"
" Get away from me!"
Nikolas screamed again, his body convulsing with an unnatural power.
Doctor sooj turned to run, but his feet felt heavy as if a force is holding him down.
He was paralyzed with fear, unable to move or look away from what is happening before him.
And then just as it all suddenly started, everything stopped. The objects fell to the ground, and Nikolas' body slumped forward looking exhausted exhausted. The white faded from his eyes, leaving them as a deep haunted green.
The door to the room burst open and King Alexander strode in, Xaitar hot at his heels. "Nikolas!" Alexander exclaimed, rushing to his side. "What's happening here?" his face was filled with worry.
"Dr. sooj, what's going on?" he demanded, turning to the doctor.
Dr. sooj shook his head. "I don't know, Your Majesty. He just started shouting and...and then things started floating. I have never seen anything like it."
Alexander's eyes narrowed as he ask "Xaitar, you said he was just shaking, but why is he out of bed?"
Xaitar began to explain, but Dr. Valois cut him off, "Your Majesty, if I may, when His Highness woke up, he started to shout and things began to float. But suddenly, everything dropped down, and Nikolas fainted. but I think he fainted from exhaustion."
"So you mean to say that my mate made things float? You must have lost your mind! He's human, for goodness' sake!" Alexander said.
Dr. sooj stood his ground, "But, Your Majesty, I am telling the truth! And Xaitar can testify. Before this, Nikolas' wound healed completely, like magic no scar . You can see for yourself."
Xaitar nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty. I saw it with my own eyes. The wound was not supposed to be healed by now but it closed in seconds."
Alexander's face was a mix of confusion and denial, "No, this can't be. Nikolas is human. He doesn't have...abilities."
Dr. sooj hesitated, "I think, Your Majesty, that Nikolas may be more than just human."
The room fell silent, as Alexander's eyes looks down on Nikolasa lying unconscious on the bed.
"No one should hear of this," Alexander speaks up his gaze settling on Xaitar and Dr. sooj "And you, Doctor, find out how he healed so quickly. I don't want any of the elders finding out about what happened. Am I clear?"
Xaitar and Dr. sooj exchanged a nervous glance before nodding in unison. "As you wish, Your Majesty," they said.
"I will not have the elders questioning my judgment or Nikolas ,This must remain a secret."
Dr. sooj hesitated before speaking"But, Your Majesty, perhaps we should...."
"No," Alexander interrupted, his voice firm. "I will not risk it. You will find out how he healed, and we will keep this quiet. Do I make myself clear?"
Dr. sooj nodded again, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will investigate and report back to you."
Xaitar spoke up, "And what about Nikolas, Your Majesty? What do we do with him?"
Alexander's gaze fell on Nikolas still lying on the bed. " l will transfer him to my room and under guard. I will not have him leaving my sight until he is fully healed."
Alexander gently lifted Nikolas into his arms, cradling him like a child and carried him to his own chambers. He laid Nikolas down on the plush bed, arranging Nikolas with care into a comfortable position.
As he stepped back, he looks at Nikolas peaceful face, his mind racing with questions. What was happening to his mate? How did he heal so quickly? And what was the strange, unexplainable events the doctor was saying that had occurred in Nikolas room?
TOK TOK
There was a knock at the door and xaitar entered the room, bowing low. "Your Majesty, I have posted guards outside. No one will disturb you or Nikolas."
Alexander nodded, his eyes still fixed on Nikolas. "Thank you, Xaitar. I want to be alone with him for now."
Xaitar bowed again and left closing the door behind him.
