When she opened her eyes again she wasnt in the tent anymore but a room.
Slowly she sat up looking around , nothing looked familiar to her so that meant she wasn't back home, she sighed.
The door to the room sprung open and two maids walked in.
"Morning your highness " they smiled.
"Morning ...can I ask where am I ?" She asked.
"Oh ...this is the imperial palace " one answered.
"You where bought in by his majesty soundly asleep . He told us to wait on you until you awoke " the other said
She blinked , majesty ?. So he was really royalty .
"Mmm, can I talk to him ?" She asked.
She needed to know who he was and mostly how he seemed to know her. The dream she heard was still fresh in her mind.
"Yes ,but first you need to ..."they pointed at her clothes.
She gazed down to realise how shabby she was looking .
"Oh yes please ....can you show me the way " she muttered.
They led her to the bath tub where they helped taking off her clothes.
"It's alright I can do it myself ".
"Sorry your highness but we where told to help you and this is part of it " they both smiled .
After alot of convincing they finally got her to settle and give her a bath.
...
"She isn't the same person you need to know that first ".
Sebastian frowned , "mother I know that more than anyone. She didn't even recognise me "
"If she remembered your name that first then keep trying you might be able to remind her before that time comes " she sighed.
He fell silent until a knock came at the door .
"Your majesty ,the princess is awake and is asking an audience with you " the guard announced .
He stood up .
"Mother I have to go ".
"Don't forget son , don't rush her . She might look like her but isn't entirely the old Sabrina "
He slight nodded as he walked out the door.
It had been years of waiting for him to finally see her . And now that he could he wasn't letting anything get in the way of that.
Finally at her door he stopped to nervous to see her face again , the two maids came up.
"Your majesty " they greeted.
"Is that hers ?" He pointed at the food they had.
"Yes , she wanted to come to you but you said we had to dress and feed her first before letting her out".
He took it , "Let me , you both can leave " he pushed the door opened.
They nodded stepping back .
She was laying on her bed , her back to the door . Quietly he moved closer to notice her staring at the blue sky outside through the window.
"Bel " he called.
Her head moved and her eyes met his. She blinked realising he was there .
Anabel sat up , "You came...I wanted to ..." stumbling out of bed.
He placed the tray aside and rushed to the bed grabbing her mid air.
She held his neck ,and there eyes met . Time seemed to stop as they stared back at each other.
Something about him seemed to pull her in.
"Did you rest well ?" he asked breaking the silence.
She blinked ,nodding.
Gently he placed her back on the bed.
"How long was I asleep ?" she asked.
"Four days ..you must have been exhausted " he muttered.
"Huh...that long " she watched him grabbed the tray bringing her food.
"Mmm, eat something you must be hungry " he said.
She had alot of questions but something else was bothering her .
"Sebastian...is that your name ?" she asked.
He nodded .
"And apart from my mother no one else calls me by my name " he said.
"Oh ...what do they call you then ?" She tasted the soup . It was warm and tasted amazing.
"Your majesty " he answered.
She remembered something , everyone addressed him as that , since the day they met. Even those strangers from the camp called him that. She knew he was royalty but her mind seemed to be forgetting it.
"I apologise I didnt mean to disrespect you your majesty " she mumbled.
He smiled taking her hand , "You can call me by my name ..I like that better " he smiled.
She held her breath , he was dazzling with that smile. Looking away she wondered how he was so handsome.
"Eat more " he said.
"Umm , I think I remembered your name because of something we did " she muttered.
"Huh..something we did ?".
She nodded.
"It was after you kissed me " her voice was low and the spoon in her mouth didn't let her speak clearly. Her head was down she didn't want to look him in the eye.
"Bel ...I can't hear you" he smirked for he heard every word she had said.
Anabel breathed , how could she tell him it was because she wanted to kiss him again. She had never kissed anyone before. And even when she heard or saw others do it she wasn't affected at all by it but instead she wanted more ..more of his touch of his lips.
Without realising it ,Anabel was staring at his lips.
"Bel .." he called.
"Can you kiss me again " she muttered before realising what had come out of her mouth . She gasped covering it.
Silence followed . Slowly she looked back at him.
"Alright ".
"Huh...really . I m..mean ".
He chuckled taking the tray away from her ,he got closer his hand clasping her waist .
She felt him lean down to her ,his other hand was at her neck.
"Bel "his breath brushed her nose.
"Mmm".
"Open your lips for me " he whispered .
Doing as she was told ,his lips took hers sucking away at her air .
Her eyes closed letting herself go in his arms ,his hand moved away from her neck into her hair pushing her in for his kiss.
The warmth of his tongue as it entangled with hers ,tasting her saliva . Following his actions she mirrored them back ,like she was learning how to kiss from him.
He smirked between there kiss as he pulled away for her to catch her breath .
"Breath, love " he murmured.
She gasped holding onto his shirt.
"Hold me " he moved her hand to his neck as he arms carried her to his lap.
She slid her arms around his neck holding onto him as his lips found hers again.
"Your mine " he whispered but Anabel was to lost in the kiss to mind to his whisper.
