Midnight Voice - Episode 11
Aftermath
EDWARD
I couldn't explain how I felt seeing Kana sprawled on the ground looking lifeless. I always knew she was beautiful but her beauty splashed all over me like ocean water as I watched her flying through the air with her katana(sword) which she swung with a mixture of grace and strength.
"She is alive", Jason said examining her. "We need a wagon to convey her to John the healer".
"We must make haste to the citadel at once", Ines who was one of the three protectors protested.
"We go nowhere without treating Kana", I said glaring at him.
"We need you at the Citadel my lord." Ines continued his protest not willing to back down.
I stood up from where I was crouched beside Jason and advanced menacingly towards Ines, "I said, we will treat Kana first before we go to the Citadel or anywhere else."
He bowed and escaped from beneath my hard gaze
. I never knew I could possess such venom as the one that spewed out of my mouth that early morning. By this time, the sun had risen almost to the fullest and travellers had begun appear on the road. We accosted the first one with a wagon and commissioned him to take us to the healer

. He was apprehensive at first thinking that the young woman is dead but not wanting to force him to do my bidding, I showed him evidence of life in her and he agreed to convey us to the place.
I rode in the back of the wagon with Kana. 'How could I have been so cruel to her?' I thought to myself. She genuinely did care about me. I could see how she desperately sought my face ever since that day I woke up in that house but I completely ignored her, I was too blinded by rage to notice that she wouldn't care to make up with me if I was just a job to her.
"No! She can't die." I heard myself saying these words as my head swirled with a lot of 'what ifs'... What if she never wakes up? What if I never get a chance to say I am sorry? What if she hates me when she wakes up? What if....? But no, I didnt wanna think these thoughts. I wanted to believe that everything was going to be alright. I had to believe; I had to keep the faith for the sake of Kana my beloved one.
