Arthur’s Pov:-
“He will come for me,” She whispered while falling unconscious in my arms,
“Davina!” I tried to wake her up but she wasn’t,
“God!” I groaned and lifted her up in my arms and made my way towards the mansion.
I rushed to her room and laid her down on the bed, I ran my fingers through my hair in anxiety while dialling Miss. Kavana’s Number. The state Davina was in looked horrible, she had blood coming out of her knee and she has wounds on her hands as well. Her fingernails had mud in them and her dress was covered in dust and mud.
As She answered the call, I asked her to come over and told her about Davina.
“I’ll be there, Mr. Spencer,” She replied and hung up the call.
I turned back and walked towards her, “Davina?” I called again but there was no response, I sat on the edge of the bed beside her and stared at her beautiful face. My hand automatically moved to her face and pushed the strands of her hair back.
Whatever happened between us earlier flashed in front of my eyes, the way I pushed her in rage made me extremely angry with myself.
What the hell is wrong with you Arthur, Why do you get angry at her all the time and make things difficult for yourself?
You should have let her speak what she had in her mind and should’ve controlled yourself? Her present state is all because of you! You’re the reason behind her misery, Arthur! What if she doesn’t wake up?
What if something bad happened to her like what happened with Olivia?
What if she doesn’t wake up at all? My subconscious yelled inside my head.
No, No, NO, I will not let that happen! She will wake up, She has to! I replied in pure anxiety,
Yes, This is all because of me, If I hadn’t pushed and yelled at her she wouldn’t have gone into the woods and this would have never happened! I thought and tears filled my eyes.
“I’m sorry,” I said while tears rolled my cheek,
The guilt inside me was growing up like a mountain and the pain it’s causing inside was unbearable, a sob burst out of my lips as I held her soft and delicate palm in my hands,
“I’m so sorry,” I cried out.
The agony of hurting her was tearing me inside. In the past moment between us, I thought that flash of anger had protected me from the pain inflicted on me by the name of that bastard from her lips but I never knew that I would see her like this.
“I regret my actions, Davina… I’m sorry,” I cried,
There are times my brain fries up. It’s no excuse I know; I own my behaviour. I try to help, try to be good, and then a trigger is flicked. My emotions turn cold, fearful, anxious. I don’t know how to control my anger and I end up hurting the people around me, I don’t know what to do to not hurt you but I hurt you the most, Davina.
“I’m sorry, Please,” I sobbed, “I promise, I will never do that again,” I said while staring at her with tears streaming down my eyes.
“Please,” I cried while pressing my forehead against the back of her hand and kept sobbing.
“Mr. Spencer,” I heard Miss. Kavana’s Voice behind me, I stopped crying and turned back, she was standing at the door with a worried expression on her face.
“Miss. Kavana” I acknowledged her and got up from the bed, I wiped my tears and gestured for her to come in.
“Please,” I said while turning back and glancing at Davina, Miss. Kavana placed her hand on my shoulder and smiled at me,
“Nothing will happen to her, Don’t worry,” She said, I gave a small smile and walked out of the room.
***
I’ve been pacing back and forth in worry, I can’t just forgive myself if something happens to her. I will do whatever she wants but I just can’t lose her,
“No,” I whispered while shaking my head,
“Nothing will happen to her,” I kept mumbling while I kept facing in front of the closed doors.
As the sound of the doors being opened reached my ears, I turned and rushed to Miss. Kavana,
“What happened? Is she okay?” I asked in impatient,
“She’s fine,” She replied,
“She’s just in shock and will wake up in a few minutes, She must have seen something which scared her…” she added, “When she wakes up, make sure you make her feel safe,” She suggested and walked away.
I strolled inside the room and sat on the edge of the bed, I stared at her and recalled when I saw her in the woods, she said that he’ll come for her! What does she mean by that? Why did she say that? And who will come for her? What did she see in the woods? The actual question is why did she go all alone into the forest?
As the question popped into my head something hit me,
“I’m gonna find him… and kill him… in front of your eyes!” Those words which I said to her rushed to my mind.
“Fuck!” I groaned while fisting my hands in anger.
