Two Birds

It's a few days after the huge accident, I feel like I've said that a few times now. The verdict on my arm is that it's broke, pretty bad talking to the doctors. I've got it better than a bunch of people who were there though, four people were so badly injured that for days no one knew if they were going to make it. Thankfully, no one died and everyone seems to be somewhat on the mend, but it's gonna be a long road. I've been able to go and see them in the hospitals, Gray kept telling me I didn't need to but I wanted to. I've managed to see most of them all apart from Daisy, you'd think as I'm so close to her she'd be the first person I'd visit right? She's had to have a few major surgeries to try and help her heal from the attack, Josh tells me she does want to see me but whenever I'm free she's always in surgery or busy, it's just a sucky situation we're in. Gray has been glued to my side the entire time, as Josh is his advisor and he is always with Daisy, Gray is using that as to not do any of his duties. Honestly, I don't mind at all he's been so helpful as I try to manage life with one of my arms in a cast. He's always telling me how great I'm doing and how I'm not complaining, I know I'm one of the lucky ones so I really don't have room to complain. "Do you need any help to get dressed my love?" Gray asks as I walk out the bathroom, I shake my head but do hold my arm up. "I'll manage thank you, but could you take the bag off my arm now?" I ask already knowing its something I wouldn't be able to do alone. Without hesitation he's up from the bed ripping the bag off, I stand there patiently still just wrapped in a towel. Once the bag was fully off I make my way into the wardrobe, Gray watching me like a hark as I went. I think he's rather nervous that I'm somehow gonna injure myself, I know I'm a clumsy person but nothing that has caused me harm recently has been any fault of mine. Talking about the person at fault, Rupert hasn't resurfaced after the accident that I know of. I don't think Gray is telling me everything about him, he'll answer any question I ask but he doesn't ever start the conversation about Rupert. I stand looking at my clothes just hanging up, for the past few days I've been wearing whatever would be easy to put on with my one good arm. This meant I wasn't putting any effort in my outfits and I know it doesn't matter at the moment, I have just been through a rather traumatic event but I can't just let myself go. I decide it was time to bust out the jeans! I managed to get my underwear and top on fine, it's the jeans as expected were giving me a hard time. I was able with great struggle to put them onto my body, but what I couldn't achieve was to do my fly up or the button. "Gray, I might need to take you up on your offer to help me!" I shout into the bedroom, within seconds he was stood in front of me "there is no way I'm going to be able to do my jeans up, you don't mind helping do you?" I ask opening my arms but look down at the annoying zip and button that were mocking me. "Of course not" he says while doing my jeans up for me, he was able to fully do my jeans for me in seconds. I turn to look at myself in the mirror smiling, I'm starting to feel like myself again. Gray immediately smiles wrapping his arms around me from behind, I think he heard what I was thinking. "You would be correct in thinking that my love" he smiles looking at me through the mirror, I just roll my eyes with a smile staring back at him. His face soon goes blank which tells me he's being mind-linked, I patiently wait while debating what shoes to wear. Since what happened all I've worn were sandals which I just need to slide my foot into, or I haven't worn anything on my feet. While scanning, my eyes land on my original pair of vans, they would go with the outfit I'm wearing but that would be a hundred times more difficult to put on. "That is why I am here my love" Gray says walking over taking ahold of the vans, I smile taking a pair of white socks before sitting down as he helped me "I was talking with Josh" he starts to explain while tying my first lace, taking ahold of my other sock. "He informed me that some of the officials are requesting a urgent meeting, he told me he would accompany me but I ordered he stay with his mate" he sighs looking rather stressed "I can go alone but I do not want to leave you, it is my job as your mate to be here when you need but I am being pulled away, something I promised you would not occur again" he says getting annoyed but finishes tying my shoe. "Why don't I join you?" I ask which immediately makes his face shoot up to look at me "I will be with you the whole time where if I need help you'll be there and you won't have to go alone, talk about killing two birds with one stone" I smile as he rises to his feet, he looks as though he was going to say yes but was hastiest. "Are you sure you are ready?" He asks looking down at me with worry, I immediately nod my head standing with him "these officials aren't the nicest of people my love, they're stuck in their ways and traditions as like my father" he warns me but again I just shake my head. "That is exactly why I need to come with you, we can show to them how things are done in this day and age" I say proudly looking at him where he just smiles "they aren't living under the reign of your father anymore, their king is His Majesty King Grayson, and he does things majorly different, so they either get onto the train or get the heck out the way!" I smile which immediately makes his laugh with a nod. "Okay I am sold, you may accompany me but I do warn you, if one of those men disrespect you within the slightest, I will rip them apart" he says his eyes going a shade darker "oh and for the record my love, they are under our reign, their queen is Her Majesty Queen Clara" he corrects me placing a soft kiss on my lips. "Whoa I have something to do today! But first I need help with my hair" I smile dragging him back into the bedroom, he just laughs the whole way following behind me. We were on route to our meeting, normally they hold them outside the castle but due to recent events, they thought it would be safer to have it in one of the private office's. We make our way down the corridor where the lobby soon comes into view, or what would have been the lobby. They had many workers doing all the repairs on the destroyed entrance, I glance down to see the spot Daisy was laying when screaming. I caught a glimpse of the leftover silver still on the ground, her screams were so deafening that I don't think I'll ever forget the sound. Gray pulling closer towards him is what snaps me back to reality, I look up at him immediately holding tighter into his hand with a smile. We come to a stop outside a door where two guards stood, they both bow their hands before reaching for the door handles. They open to reveal around twenty men stood behind their chairs, let the chaos begin.
