Energy was draining out of Siegfried as he worked almost all day long to heal Luna's wound.

It was a slow process. This confused Siegfried. Mostly it would only take people an hour to heal by his power. Luna was healing, but five times slower.

He didn't know why it was happening. She was fine (so far). Her soul isn't damaged. Her brain isn't hurt or emotionally hurt.

So, what was it?

Siegfried sighed as tiredness rolled over him. He watched as her lips parted in and out. The way they gently curved when by parted for the moon maiden to take a deep breath of air

Her almost colorless face pale in the sun light have her looking dead when she wasn't. Her chest moved softly up and down at an even pace as Siegfried long more for her lips.

It was true he had a tiny crush on her. But, he didn't want to take her for a queen as he feared his father would hurt her as he does to him. Whether or not in laws yet.

Siegfried couldn't risk it. He would die without love if it meant the love he couldn't share could be safe from the devil himself before their souls are taken from him.

Siegfried sighed as he dabbed her forehead in cool water and rested upon her small head. Her auburn bangs sticking to the sweat on top of her head.

Guilt and worry twist at Siegfried heart as Luna was taking long than he though.

"Please Luna... wake up..."

At first there was nothing, until suddenly Luna breath in a gulp full of air as she slow opened her eyes.

Siegfried gasped in happiness as he carefully hugged her, "Thank goodness your alive... you're the best maid I've had..."

"R-really?" Her voice cracked like an old women almost as she sat herself up a tiny bit too look up at the prince, "B-but I suck doing duties as a-a maid..."

"Not all the time. I know you're a beginner, so I know to be easy on you. Not everyone can become a maid and," He snapped his fingers as it ringed inside her eardrums, "They become the world's best maid. For I, will never be the world's best prince."

"Y-yes you can! You healed m-me when you didn't have t-too!"

"That is true. I heal people with no reason is because I'm kind hearted. But I will have a darker side of my kindness which I only show to my family. They are the ones who will receive my bad nature as I let everyone have some part of my kindness."

Luna looked up at him and gave her a crooked smile as a part of her lip was bleeding, "Thank Siegfried. I know you're a prince... but do you think we could be friends?"

Siegfried heart soar inside the cage walls that kept him from ever sharing his thoughts, "I-I would love that! I'm not just saying that to be nice, I really mean it."

Siegfried looked down on the ground as a frown spread across his light and handsome features, "To be honest with you my dear friend Luna. You're the only friend I've ever had in my whole life. Sure there were other royalty to make friends with. But they didn't like me because I shared my father's devil blood. The ones who did tried were kept away from me by their parents as they thought I would whisper words of dammed and taint their pure minds."

Luna felt bad for Siegfried. He shouldn't ever have been treated like this. She knew his father was an evil man who could kill a innocent youth in just a breath of air.

"Don't let that get you down." Luna said as she hesitatingly ruffled his pale blonde hair as it shined like early morning light, "I don't have much friends either because I live on a farm. It would be an honor to be your friend."

Siegfried smiled as he gently grabbed her hand and twined both their fingers together, "An honor of friendship."

But deep down, Siegfried wanted more than that.

A knock came at the door as they both quickly broke their new connection.

"Siegfried!!! Dad wants you!!!"

Bella yelled on the other side as Siegfried shivered at her voice and the thought of meeting dad.

Siegfried sighed as he got up from the bed as he looked down on Luna's pale beautiful face, "I will be back soon to finish your healing."

"O-okay"

Luna said shyly as Siegfried nodded and open the door and sighed out loud when Bella started to make a conversation. Little did he know, a fair maiden was blushing thinking about him and his kind heart.

Ragged breaths of death burned thought Jason's lungs. His soul felt like little scissors cutting at the strings of his life span.

He panned as he when to get up, but felt down onto the cold stone floor. Jason's moaned in pain as the impact felt good for his hot body, but painful as he was sore everywhere.

He shakily grabbed onto the edge of his bed and screamed in pain as he pulled himself up.

With a last effort push and threw himself onto his bed as the iron springs creaked under his weight.

Weakly, he threw off his shirt as some strength was returning back too him. He looked up into his old mirror as in the middle of his chest near the heart was purple.

Purple as a bruise, black as in death, and blue as in the sadness it held. Jason sucked in a cry of pain as he barely touched it as it burned like hells fires.

He slowly when over to his nightstand and pulled out a syringe. The fluid inside was clear as little bubbles of red where floating inside.

Jason carefully injected the medicine into where the wound as at. He bite his shirt to keep from cry or screaming as the pain felt as his heart would burst at any minute.

He finally took it out with a short cry as he panted and felt onto the bed again. He didn't bother putting on his shirt.

Softly and slowly sleepiness was taking over as Jason could already see his nightmares coming to life without the dream to start...
