Everyone looked at the queen worry visible in their eyes. Jamie stepped forward "Why would she do that?"

She then looked at the doctor "Do you know what to do?"

The witch doctor shook her head "No, this is the first time I am seeing this because no one has ever done this before. All I know is that this is the part where the queen pushes her body beyond it's limits. In the past, the queens that have tried doing it have always died, she is the first one to successfully do it so I can't say anything. There is nothing recorded about this in books too but I will go and read some of them to gain some knowledge and see if I can do something."

Jamie nodded "Do that and be quick as we don't know how severe her condition is."

The doctor checked Rachel's breathing and pulse as she said "Her pulse is a little low but it is stable so she should be fine for now."

Saying this she left to do her work while all the other looked at each other clueless about what to next. Rafel saw how nervous everyone was and how heavy the atmosphere was turning in the room so he let out a roar for everyone to leave the room. Although his language could not be understood by them, there were some symbolic roars which had their meanings and all of them knew it. Rafel had the position next to the queen and when she was not here, he was the one to maintain the peace so that there were no fights and now that the queen was not well and in the state to order them, they had no choice but to follow Rafel's orders.

Everyone left the room and went back to their work and who were living as normal humans went back home until only Rafel, Jessica and Jamie were left in the room with the still unconscious queen. Seeing them not move, he looked sternly at them when Jamie said with a low voice "She is my daughter too, I am worried."

Rafel looked at her as if saying 'so you mean to say others are not worried.'

Both of them looked at him with pleading eyes "Please let us stay."

Rafel didn't budge and let out an even louder roar to let them know his decision. As they were about to leave the room he let out another roar and they knew he meant for them to go back home. Jamie cast a look at her daughter, her eyes filled with tears as she left the room.

Rafel had the powers that were not as strong as the queen but stronger than all other witches. He stepped on her bed and went to stand near her head "I was only made to protect the queen and follow her orders. I can not use my powers without your orders and I have never healed a witch who is so weak because I was bound by rules. Now that it is use and since you are so selfless and protecting, I think I will also let the rules slide by and help you."

He placed his front leg on her forehead and closed his eyes while he began to enchant a spell. A light emitted from his body witch slowly spread around Rachel's body too, he used his energy to heal the queen. Rachel had used too much energy and was in need of some rest of it could be done by taking some rest. Rafel could use the extra energy in his body and that could never hurt him so he didn't feel any loss of energy.

After he was done, he slowly opened his eyes and to his surprise, Rachel still didn't make any movement. She lay there still without making any sounds or any movement. Rafel was scared at how worse her condition was and he immediately stepped back. This was the first time he had ever shed a tear for a queen although so many have died in front of his eyes "My Queen, you have to wake up please."

He didn't know why but this was the first time, he didn't want to loose the queen. He felt anxious and helpless as he had no idea what to do, he had no choice but to sit there and watch her silently.

Jamie went back home and after changing her clothes, she lay down to go to sleep next to Charles who had been waiting for her. He smiled at the sight of his wife and went ahead to hug her from behind as she was facing the other way. She was so worried about her daughter that she was in no mood for this but as it was their matter, she could not tell anything to Charles so she put up with it.

Charles kissed her neck as he said "I missed you."

She put on a smile and didn't say anything as he continued "Is Rachel back too."

The smile on her face drained but she tried to keep her voice normal "No she is staying there to deal with some things."

Charles then hugged her tightly "It is so hard on our daughter."

Jamie was trying her best not to break down in front of her husband so she said "Hmm, it is but now everything is fine and I am really tired so let's go to sleep."

Charles nodded his head "Yes, she is a strong girl, she can deal with storms so we don't need to worry about her, let's sleep. Goodnight."

Jamie closed her eyes and the tears that were filled in them rolled out, she suppressed all the sounds that her throat was trying to make and lay there crying silently.

Jessica went home and searched for her brother but he was not back yet so she went to her room to lie down. It was impossible for her to fall asleep with her best friend in such a dangerous situation and with the only queen in danger, they didn't even had a successor to the throne so how could she sleep or even think about it. She closed her eyes and even weirder thoughts came to her mind so she ended up twisting and turning around in the bed until someone entered her room.

Robert had been in his room in the castle thinking about the queen and the girl that had been on his mind. He could not help but think about her, he was unable to get rid of and his mind was turning into a chaos. He just wanted to hold her and taste every bit of her body but he was scared at the same time that he would hurt her fragile body.

He called in for a witch to serve him and with Rachel in his mind he tormented the witch until his body was satisfied but his mind was still thinking about that forbidden fruit.

Why did the forbidden fruit always seem so delicious that it was difficult to control oneself from tasting it. He took in a deep breath at the thought of how her delicious lips would taste. His mind was filled with the image of her beautiful red and plum lips, her white snow soft skin, how beautiful was to touch. All he could think about was m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e to her slowly until she would beg her for more. He imagined how it would feel to hear her voice full of passion and l.u.s.t. He just could not give up the thought and wanted to approach her as soon as possible, he made his mind to get closer to her.

After spending some time here he went back home and straight to Jessica's room to see if she was back. Seeing her lying there, he smiled "You are back."

She looked at him angrily "What did you get by causing trouble?"

He came to sit next to her as she to sat up on her bed "I am sorry, I just wanted to see your queen but she is too stubborn."

Jessica looked at him, her eyes filled with tears "You still didn't get to see her."

Robert smiled "I know but I have a feeling that Rachel and the queen are same because I could feel it."

Jessica was about to give it away when she realised he must be trying to get information about the queen so she said "What nonsense are you spouting?"

He laughed "You are too secretive about her, I wonder why?"

Jessica looked at him angrily "Thanks to you, she is now in danger."

The smile on his face was lost and a frown appeared "What do you mean?"

She looked at him "Exactly what you heard, she is so selfless that she risked her life to save everyone."

Robert didn't know why, his heart felt a lot at unease as he asked "What happened?"

Jessica told him everything and with that Robert disappeared from the room.
