Chapter 27 - Empathy

"Shit!" In a split of a second, Orion was already flying down as fast as possible trying to catch Sasha before she met her end. He caught her swiftly and held her close to him. He stared at the woman who held him tighter and when she looked up at him he saw her pair of hazel brown coloured eyes turn blue again. She looked extremely scared out of her wits. He placed her back on the balcony as rage began to flood his entire body. He held her by the shoulders and shook her slightly.

"Hey, are you crazy, were you trying to take your life back there?" Before she could recover from her disoriented state she went limp in his arms and passed out. "Sasha...Sasha." he got no response from her. After calling for the physician he decided it would be much better to move her to his quarters instead.

When the physician arrived Orion could tell he was displeased but couldn't care less about his discomfort. "Then why is she still unconscious?" his impatience began to get ahold of him. After the physician explained the situation he began to feel a little at ease. Sasha continued to sleep all the while farrowing her eyebrows as though in a lot of pain. For some reason, he couldn't help but stay by her side the whole night. Concluding it was just empathy he stayed with her until the day broke.

...His fists were clenched, if what Sasha claimed was true then it seemed something was seriously amiss and he needed to get to the bottom of it before it was too late. If those things had anything to do with what was happening to Sasha then the matter wasn't going to be easily resolved anytime soon at that.

"Sire, we're here!" He quickly unclenched his fist. He'd deal with that matter when he returned back to the Palace, but for now, there were other matters to attend to.
