A New Life In A New World (Editing)

15. Breaking News: Ember Celeste, the Youngest Baron Ever!

As I slowly opened my eyes, I was greeted by the familiar sight of my bedroom. The sunlight streaming through the window indicated that it was morning, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. After the events of the previous night, I had expected to wake up in some sort of fantastical realm, surrounded by mythical creatures and ancient ruins. But instead, everything seemed to be back to normal.

Or so I thought.

As I tried to sit up, a sudden wave of pain shot through my body. I winced, my hands flying to my head as I struggled to comprehend what was happening. It was as if someone had taken a baseball bat to my skull, repeatedly hitting me with it until I was left feeling dazed and confused.

"Agh, that hurts!" I groaned, my voice barely above a whisper.

I slowly lowered myself back onto the bed, trying to make sense of the throbbing pain in my head. It was then that I remembered the events of the previous night. The Shadow Creatures, the crystal, and Felix all came flooding back to me.

"Oh my god," I muttered to myself. "I remember everything."

I had saved Felix, but at what cost? The Shadow Creatures had attacked me, and I had almost died twice. The memory of their dark forms and malevolent presence still lingered in my mind, sending shivers down my spine.

I couldn't believe that Felix had put me in such danger. Who does that? I thought to myself, my anger and frustration boiling over. He had almost killed me, not once, but twice!

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I knew that I needed to focus on getting better, rather than dwelling on my anger towards Felix. But it was hard to ignore the fact that he had put me in such a dangerous situation, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment towards him.

I looked around the room to see if Draco was there. However, he was nowhere to be found. I thought to myself, "Hmm, that's strange. He's usually always in the room. Maybe he's roaming around the estate or something."

I tried to stand up from the bed, but my body wouldn't cooperate. My limbs felt heavy and weak as if I hadn't moved in weeks. I fell back onto the bed, struggling to catch my breath. My vision began to blur and I felt like I was going to pass out.

After a few seconds, my vision returned to normal, but my body still felt frail. I couldn't understand why I was feeling this way. I had only been asleep for a day, so why did I feel like I hadn't eaten in a month? My arms felt as heavy as boulders and my legs felt like they were stuck to the ground.

I tried to move my fingers, but they felt like lead weights. I couldn't even lift my hand off the bed. Panic started to set in as I realized that I was completely helpless. I didn't know what was happening to me or how to fix it.

As I lay there, unable to move, I started to feel hopeless. How was I supposed to protect myself or others when I couldn't even stand up? I felt like a burden to everyone around me, including Draco.

As I lay there, helpless and weak, I suddenly heard the door squeak open. I turned my head towards the sound, expecting to see Draco or perhaps a nurse coming to check on me. But instead, I was surprised to see Felix running towards me with a huge smile on his face.

He threw his arms around me, hugging me tightly. I was caught off guard, unsure of how to react. Just a few days ago, he was acting like a scared little kid, and then he was behaving like a confident young boy. And after all of that, he was now a crybaby? I couldn't understand what was happening.

"What happened?!" I asked him, my voice barely above a whisper. I was still trying to wrap my head around the sudden change in his behavior.

Felix pulled back from the hug, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "You saved me! But you almost died in the process!"
