Part 22
THOR POV
15 hours later.
Everything was a blur, I haven't ate anything nor have I drank anything. My body cover in blood, I wonder if it's my own or Aurora's.
We won the battle, but I feel as if we lost much more. countless amounts of soldiers are gone, wounded or ripped apart beyond recognization.
I haven't left the bench outside of the room where our best healers were trying to save Aurora.
"Brother"
"Brother"
"THOR!"
The sound of Loki's raspy voice echoed into my ears, I snapped out of the haze I was in. "You need to get cleaned up" He came over to me, holding a rag and a bowl full of water between his palms.
He sat it down next to me and just watched for awhile, He later peered through the crack of the door to see the healers working on her.
"We have the best of the best brother, she will make it" Loki turned to me, His voice filled with sincerity and worry.
From here I could tell his heart was racing, almost as fast as mine was racing.
"You don't know that" I finally separated my lips to form a sentence.
Loki sighed and sat down next to me. I rested my face in my hands. I was at the edge of falling asleep but the fear of missing news about Aurora if I fell asleep was my source of energy.
"He is right Thor, you need to clean up. I will stay here and we will rush to get you if anything happens" Valkyrie walked in.
I shook my head in annoyance "I'm not leaving" I said in denial. "Thor, Aurora would want you to be cleaned up when you wake up. You look like you climbed a mountain while it rained blood. Go clean up!" Valkyrie insisted.
I looked up and locked eyes with her, she was staring daggers into me. I nodded my head slowly and stood up.
I walked out quietly and went to my room. I decided to get a full wash so I stepped into the shower, Washing out my hair and scrubbing my body.
As I looked at the floor where the water ran down I saw blood form down and getting sucked into the drain.
All I could think about was Aurora, Every time I close my eyes I see Aurora. Every time my eyes are open I see Aurora.
My mind my soul my everything was relying on the fate of her life. I couldn't stop the pounding in my chest from causing panic.
Instead of focusing on all the positive my mind ran straight down to hell, Negativity and horrid images ran across my mind bouncing both ways.
Even when I tried to imagine all of the good my mind would twist it to the bad the things I wouldn't want to imagine.
The love I have for her is unreal it's unspeakable, I could never lose a flame that sparks my heart the way she does. And that is what I fear the most.
I wish it was me who got injured and not her, Apart of me was mad at myself, Mad that I didn't push her out of the way, mad that I didn't do anything.
But the other part of me was also mad at her. Mad that she did that. Why would she do that? I was upset and angry that she would risk her life for me.
I was scared, angry and afraid and I couldn't mix all of my emotions together which made everything worse.
I finished my shower and got into some fresh clothes. I sat down on my bed and curled into a ball I rested my head on the pillow that smelt like Aurora.
The sweet smell of her hair, her clothes and her skin. I couldn't help but let a tear escape.
Sadly one tear turned into two, then three and suddenly I was sobbing into the pillow. Trying to mask the sound of it.
I rubbed my face against it trying to rest my eyes. I could feel myself drifting apart at the thought of Aurora and everything about her.
NIGHT
I rolled my body over, my eyes not open but I could feel and hear everything around me. I laid comfortably in bed. Soaking in the comfort I felt.
It didn't hit me till the events from earlier were in fact real. I quickly sprang out of bed, I rushed out to where Aurora would hopefully still be alive in.
As I ran down there I saw Loki, Valkyrie, Guards and one of the healers.
"Where is she!" I yelled in a panic looking across the room for a sign. Anything, anything to keep me calm. Keeping me from panicking.
"Calm down brother" Loki said calmly as he held his hands out as a jester to keep steady.
I ignore his advances "No, what is happening is she okay, where is she is sh-" "Thor!" Valkyrie yelled, stopping me from my stuttering and rambling.
"She's alive, they stitched her up she is no longer bleeding but she hasn't awoken in 6 hours. She might be in a coma or a very deep sleep" Valkyrie said calmly.
"Well wake her up" I demanded. Everyone looked down at the ground. I looked around the room.
"They have been trying, they will keep checking on her through the night and try again in the morning" Loki walked towards me.
I closed my eyes softly, counting to ten over and over again till my breath calmed to a steady and I could breathe again.
I clenched my fist together and let go, repeating that cycle till I fell as if I could open my eyes and nod my head. "Okay" I muttered my mind finally resting from this reality.
I can't imagine if Aurora didn't wake, all of this , all the love, fighting, legacy, done. I never expected to fall in love with someone I was forced to. I know many people don't, people of royalty come together for the good of their people not for the love of their own but I was able to form a connection with Aurora, A connection I can't even understand how was formed.
Love is blinding but breaking and it broke me before it could even shine into me.
The thought of Aurora never waking, the thought of her never being able to eat another meal or say another word was shattering and left me speechless.
I had no other words to say, and worst of it I wasn't able to do anything, I can't help her, I can't heal her I can't even see her. I am left hopeless just as she is left alone.
My mind rolls back twisting over and over again like a Ferris wheel that broke. Endless ways this could end and only two outcomes , Heartbreak or Love.
I can't see the future, even if I could I don't even know if I'd want to. What if I saw a outcome I couldn't handle I don't think I can handle any outcome at this point.
All I wanted was to have her in my arms, able to whisper back to me and now I sit here and wonder if that will ever happen again.

What do you guys think? This is a trial run if I should make a new ending or leave it as is? Sorry for the grammar mistakes like I said this is just a trial.
