The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 28: Happy

Sarahs POV

The doctor came in with a saw to cut off my casts. I was so happy. I would be able to start working on walking again. I know I'm weak, and it will take time to learn how to walk again. I have walked with pain in my legs for so long that I have forgotten what it was like to have no pain. I was so deep in thought about having the ability to walk again that I didn't even know that he had already cut the casts off.

" There you go, princess." the doctor said.

I looked down and saw my legs. They were straight. They haven't been straight in years. They also needed to be shaved. I wiggled them back and forth. Enjoying the freedom of not having the casts on them.

" Alright sweetheart, let's try walking." Ray stated.

I shrugged my shoulders. I was truthfully scared to try and walk.

" I'll be right here darling, I'm not going anywhere." Ray stated.

He picked me up then gently placed me on my feet. He wrapped his arm around my waist and grabbed my right hand. I was wobbly. He steadied me.

" Alright, let's take a couple of steps." Ray stated.

I took a couple of steps and I didn't even realize that Ray had let go of me. I was able to walk three steps by myself before I needed to have support. Ray was quickly at my side. He caught me before I fell. He then carried me back to my wheelchair.

"That is enough for now," Ray stated.

" We will try again later," Ray stated.

I then pointed to my throat. I really wanted to be able to talk again.

" Go ahead and try to say something." The doctor said.

I tried to say hi, but it came out as a whisper.

"That's a start." The doctor said.

" It will take a while. Your vocal cords were severely damaged." The doctor said.

Oh, well, it's a start, I said to myself. If I'm getting stronger, so is my wolf Karina. I know she wants to be released soon so she can meet Nash. I'm so happy about my improvements that I started crying. They both looked at me in concern. I grabbed my dry-erase board and wrote the word happy. They both smiled.

"I'm happy that you are happy," Ray stated.

The doctor explains to us that I will have to use my legs as much as I can tolerate. Then he gave us a piece of paper with stretches on it to help strengthen and relax my legs. He recommends swimming to start with as exercise.

" We will have to go shopping and get you some more things," Ray stated.

We left the hospital and headed home. I'm still sitting on Rays lap. I tried to scoot off and sit on the seat.

" What do you think your doing young lady?" he asks.

I tried to say I could sit on the seat next to him. But it all came out in whispers.

" Don't try to use your voice too much. I know you want to talk, but you need to let your vocal cords heal a little bit more sweetie." Ray stated.

" You are right where you belong, which is on my lap," he then stated.

I just smiled and kissed him on the lips. Then I placed my head on his shoulder. We enjoyed the rest of the trip back to the palace. I have to find Brittany and talk to her now. When we arrived at the palace, everyone was waiting. We get out of the van and everyone starts clapping. I insisted that I walk a little. Ray holds me by my hands and lets me walk. I take about four steps. That's all I could do. Ray then picks me up and carries me inside.

He took me up to my room. He gently puts me on the bed.

" I know you want to talk to Brittany. But would you like help shaving your legs first," he asked.

I shook my head no. I really wanted to ask Brittany my questions. He said he understands. He then calls Brittany on his cell phone. He leaves and Brittany comes in.

"Yes your majesty," she stated.

I use my dry-erase board and ask what love is.

" Love is something you feel in your heart. You get butterflies in your stomach." she states.

I looked at her confused. Last time I knew you couldn't get butterflies in your stomach.

" No, your majesty, she stated. Your stomach feels funny but good funny," she states.

" You count every minute until you see them again. You crave their touch, their kisses and just to be in the same room as them," she states.

Everything she was describing was everything I felt towards Ray. I was in love with Ray. I was so happy.

Thank you I wrote.

" Is that all your majesty?" Brittany asked.

I nodded yes. She left. I couldn't wait to tell Ray I loved him. I push myself off the bed and try walking on my own. I take five steps. I then started to lose my balance. I was falling. Then, out of nowhere, Ray caught me. I'm sure he's going to be upset with me. I need to practice until I can walk on my own.

" What the hell do you think your doing, Sarah?" he asked.

I'm trying to hold back the tears and whisper.

" I was trying to walk." I whispered.

" Darling, you almost got hurt," he stated.

He picks me up, then carries me to bed. He gently puts me down on it. Leans over me and kisses me.

"I'm not mad sweetie. I was worried," he states.

He then scoots me up toward the top of the bed and grabs a blanket and wraps me up. Then he puts me on his lap where my legs are across his lap. I rest my head on his shoulder.

"Its ok baby."
