Coven Of Witch Craft - Chapter 11

Six years had past since the war with the last queen. Now that Kat doesn’t have Libra, she took power. Full power. And doing so she started to change the lands for the better. Everyone started to be happier with her in control. She ganged power every time she went to another war. She soon fell in love with Trever, who now is the king, and they both parent a baby girl named Isabella, who is four. She also has a granddaughter named Meg after coming back from the war of the last queen. But Kat now is fighting her new enemy, the sand kingdom. They don’t get along so she must leave her home to go fight another battle.

Kat sits behind a large mountain of sand, with some guards.

“Queen-” A guard starts to say when Kat interrupts her.

“Shh!” Kat says as she stares at the sand kingdom. “We must be quiet. If not we will be spotted. So” She turns to the guard who interrupted her. “what is it that you wish to tell me?”

The guard swallows hard. “Well that’s the thing.” She laughs. “They know we’re here..”

Kat looks surprised. “How?” She looks back at the kingdom.

“Well, they spotted one of us” The guard looks at another guard.

Kat sighs.

“But Queen! They wish to speak with you” The guard says smiling.

Kat stands. “So be it.” She walks to her horse. “Hey girl.” She kisses her horses head before getting on. “I will be back. Don’t worry I promise to be careful. But if anything happens do as I ask.”

All the guards nod. “We know queen!”

Kat smiles. “Thank you!” She rides towards the kingdom. She grows worried as she gets closer. “Gods, you better be in my favor today..” She enters the castle walls.

The guards all watch from a distant.

“You think she’ll be okay?” The female guard asks as she stares at her queen, riding off.

A man sighs. He was leaning against a tree. His arms crossed while staring at the ground. He had a long white bread, that was braided. He looked up at the guard. “Do you not have faint in our queen?”

The female guard was shocked. “Of course I have faint!” She was angry. “I just worry! That’s all!” She stops for a second. “Wait. Who are you?”

The man laughs as he stands straight. “Good. That means I don’t have to kill you so easily.” He smiles big as he starts to pull a blade from behind him.

The guards all draw their weapons.

“Now now.” The man looks at all of them. “No need to draw your weapons. It won’t help any of you.”

The female guard yells at him angrily. “Men! Get ready for him!” She pointed her sword at the man. “I will not die like a weakling!” She charges at him but he dodges her.

He laughs as he watches her fall onto the ground. “Nice try. But you will have to do better than that to strike a hit on me!” He appears on top of her. He stabs her in her back. “Yesss.” He smiles. “Scream louder!”

The female guard takes one last breath before dying.

The man pulls his sword out of the woman and turns to the other guards. “Now…”

All the guards stare in shock. Most shaking.

The man laughs. “This is going to so much fun!” He attacks them.

Meanwhile, Kat rides , slowly, through the street of houses. She was nervous. All the towns people are giving her a disgusted look. She sighs trying to ignore all their stares.

“Don’t worry about them! They are just a bunch of picky people”

Kat jumps off her horse when she hears a voice behind her. She hits her butt. “Ouch!” She stands rubbing her butt.

“Sorry miss. Didn’t mean to scare you”

Kat looks up and sees a little boy. He had orange hair. His clothes were dirty and torn. He had a blue hat on. She smiled. “It’s okay” She laughs as she puts the boy on the ground. She notices he didn’t have any shoes on. His feet were filthy. Blisters were on the sides of them. “Excuse me.”

The little boy smiles. As he does she notices his front teeth were missing.

She laughs. “Who are you?”

The little boy looks at the ground. “Names Logan..yeah yeah. I know its a stupid name! But hey! I didn’t pick it! My stupid orphan sister picked it!” he protested.

Kat laughed at him. He reminded her of her sons. “Say..why don’t you help me to the castle? I could use the help.” She smiles warmly at the boy.

He smiles bit. “Sure lady! I’d be more than happy to help you!” He throws his fist in the air.

“Good.” She helps him back on the horse. She thinks for a moment an grabs something out of her bag.

“Whats that miss?” He looks at her hand.

Kat smiles. “Its a sweet roll.” She hands it to him. “For helping me.”

He takes it without saying a word. He stuffs his cheeks with the treat. “Thanks lady!” he manages to say.

Kat laughs. “No problem.” She gets on the horse. She puts him in front of her. “There’s more where that came from after helping me.”

Logan smiles. “Oh you got it lady!” He looks forward. “Now to the castle!” He points forward.

Back at the camp, the man stands above the last guard alive.

“Looks like your all alone” The man smiles as he puts the sword to the mans throat.

The guard swallows hard. “Please mister….”

“Oh were’re begging now?” The man pulls his sword away. “Go on”

The guard nods. “I c-can help you. If you let me stay alive”

The man strokes his bread. “Hmm”

“Please!” The guard goes to the mans feet. “I promise you!” He starts to sob.

The man smiles. “I don’t know” He pulls the guard up by his hair. He looks him up and down. “What is it that I need to know? Hmm? Oh are we speechless? HahaHAHAhA!” The man had cut off the guards head. He laughs uncontrollably as he holds the head.

As he was laughing a guard hide’s behind a tree.

She holds her breath as she sobs quietly. Her armor was covered in blood. “Damn that man!” She whispers.

The man drops the head. “Ahh” He puts his sword up as he stretches. “Man I needed that.” He looks over to see a guard trying to crawl away. “Oh we aren’t dead are we?” He pulls his sword back out and stabs the man in the back.

The guard screams in pain. “AHHH!”

The man bends down. “Why must you try to stay alive? You know it doesn’t matter how hard you try” He turns the sword around making the man scream more.

The guard spits out blood. “F-fuck y-you!”

“Oh! You are a feisty one!” He laughs as he pulls out the blade. He turns the man onto his back. “Tell me. Why do you serve such a imbecile person as the queen?” He puts the blade to the mans throat.

The guard spits out more blood. “H-how dare you!” He spits blood on the man face. “T-the queen is not a i-imbecile! She helps us poor ones! She doesn’t like when someone is treated differently than another!”

The man’s face goes blank. He grows mad. “She is nothing but blind.” He stands as he puts his sword back up. “I will spare you.” He begins to walk away but stops. “But only to tell the queen that someone from her past has come back…tell her that her dearest little brother has come back home..” He disappears as he walks away.

The female guard ,that was behind the tree, rushes to the guard on the ground. “You okay?” She helps him to his feet.

The guard bites his lip in pain. “No”

She lays him against a rock. “I know” She sighs. “I should of-”

“No!” He puts his hand on her shoulder. “You did what you could. It’s good that you lived.” He coughed up blood. “You can now tell the…queen…what..happened…today..” His eyes and face drained colored.

“NO! NO!” She holds him in her arms. “Damn it! Come on! You can’t die just like that!” She cries as she rocks back and forth.

As that was happening, Kat stood in front of the huge castle.

She was amazed of how big it was. And all it was made out of sand! “Wow”

Logan laughs as he stood beside her. “Yeah. It’s pretty cool.”

Kat smiles as she looks down at him. He was just too adorable. “Oh! Almost forgot!” She goes to her bag to pull out two more sweet rolls. “Here you go! As promised!” She handed them to Logan.

He smiles while grabbing them. “Thanks lady” His smile soon turns into a frown.

Kat turns her head. “Whats wrong?” She bends down to his height.

Logan stares at the ground. “Nothing.” He puts on a fake smile. “Just wanted to wish you good luck!” He quickly stuffs his pockets with the rolls. “It was fun to play with you but I got to go.” He runs off, waving at her. “See you lady!”

Kat smiles as she waves back at him. After he disappears she sighs. “Now” She stands up and looks up at the castle. “back to work” She walks up the stairs.

When Kat enters the throne room, her mind was in awe. The inside was of course sand. A long red carpet lead to the throne. Kat swallowed hard as she made eye contacted with the king. He sat at his throne. He was a chubby fella and he was also bald. His crown sat somewhat crooked. Kat smiles a little.

As she approached she bowed. “King Gamal”

Gamal laughed as he stood. He held his stomach while he laughed. “Queen Katrina. Call me Gamal” He hugged her.

Kat hugged back. “It’s good to know that you aren’t such a enemy of me”

“Well that’s just us. We aren’t much of a fighting kingdom”

Kat looked over to see Queen Abrielle. Her body was much slimmer than her husbands. Even after having twelve children.”I’m happy you all are good.” She fake smiled at them.

Abrielle looked at Kat with a kind smile. “Yes. We do as much as we can to not be in wars!” She laughs as she holds Gamal. “I’m not a fan of blood”

Gamal smiles. “Yes. Neither am I!” He laughs as he walks back to his throne.

Abrielle does the same.

Kat swallows before speaking. “Gamal, I must know why you called me.”

Gamal sighs. “Kat…” He looks at his wife than back at her. “You know that my twelve sons all are lords to the other sand kingdoms, right?”

Kat nods.

“Well…” He begins to say but chokes on his words.

“What my husband is trying to say is…” Abrielle stands. “One of our sons have decided to rebel. He has gone mad with power.” She wipes a tear off before it ruins her makeup. “Our youngest son, Adeben, has become mad. He has killed his dear wife and children. He is trying to make his attack on the rest of the kingdoms.”

“How does this have to do with me?” Kat asks confused.

“Well, when we investigated his castle.” Abrielle stops for a moment before continuing. “Wolfhound was his third kingdom to take over”

Kat freezes. “I see..”

“Now that you do. Please…” Abrielle walks up to Kat. She holds her hands. “Mother to mother…” She begins to cry. “go easy on my boy…”

Kat sighs and hugs her. “I promise he will not be harmed.”

“Thank you.” Gamal smiles gratefully at her.

After talking to the king and queen, Kat gets back on her horse. She rubs her head as she thinks. “Why must he come after Wolfhound…” She takes a deep breath. “No need to feel this way. I must get back to camp and report in.” She begins to ride through the village when she notices Logan in a corner.

Two men stood in front of him. Both men looked dirty and also had torn clothes like Logan.

“Come on kid! Give us the sweets!” One of the men says as he tries to reach for the sweet rolls.

“Yeah! Come on kid! Give it up or-”

“Or what?” Kat stands behind them with her sword drawn. “Hmm?” She stares at them.

Both men look terrified.

“Listen miss..we were just messing with the boy” One of the men say as he smiles big.

“Leave!” She demands as she swings her blade.

They both scream as they run away.

Kat laughs as she watches them. But she stops when she hears sobbing. She looks over at Logan. She sees him crying. “Hey..” She drops her sword and holds him. “It’s okay…” She rubs his head.

He doesn’t say anything back but cry.

“They will not hurt you ever again.” She pulls away to see his face. She wipes his tears away and gives him a warm smile. “Hey I promise.”

Logan smiles a little. “Thank you…” He begins to pick up the rolls off the ground.

“Wait! Don’t eat those” Kat grabs both rolls. “They are filthy”

“Listen Lady..” He grabs them back. “I have to. If I don’t then I won’t eat again until next week”

“What do you mean? I thought you said that you stayed at an orphanage?” She stared at him.

He laughed. “I do. But that woman doesn’t care! She believes in god and stuff but doesn’t do godly things!”

“Well why don’t you go to the king and queen with this?” She was frustrated.

Logan sighs. “Someone has…but it was no use. They don’t care. No one does. No one wants us. We will always be nobody’s. Heck even our own parents didn’t want us! Why would anyone else want to have us..” He starts to cry but holds the tears back.

Kat stands. “That’s evil..” her face went blank. She grabbed her sword. “Come on.” She grabbed him quickly.

“Miss what are-”

“Shh. You’ll figure out” She begins to walk as she pulls the horse behind her. She stops when she stands in front of the orphanage. “Stay here” She walks inside.

Logan waits outside. “Hmmm” He suddenly hears banging sounds coming from inside.

Soon Kat walks out with papers. When she walked up to him she put the papers in her bag and turned to Logan. “You never have to suffer again” She sits behind him on the horse.

He looks up at her. “What do you mean?”

She smiles. “You said nobody wanted you..” She looked away but back at him. “But you’re wrong…” She hugged him tightly. “I want you!”

Logan was startled but soon realized what had happened. “You….you want me?”

Kat kissed his head. “Yes. Welcome to the family!”

Logan started to cry. “Thank you! Thank you!”

“Now lets go home” She smiled as they rode out of the castle walls.

As Kat made her way through the wall she noticed that her base had dead bodies everywhere. “Oh no!” She jumps off her horse. “Stay put!” She tells Logan as she rushes to the bodies. “No no!” She picks one up. “No pulse..” She lays the body back down.

“Queen..” A faint voice says.

Kat turns to where the voice came from. She sees a female guard sitting next to a dead body. “Olivia!” She runs to her. “What happened?”

Olivia sobs and sobs.
for visiting.

Kat holds her. “Did the sand kingdom do this? Did they?” She orders as she bites her lip looking at her fallen soldiers.

Olivia sucks up her tears. “Your….your…”

“My what?” Kat shakes her a little. “Spit it out!”

“What happened?” Logan says as he stands behind Kat. He was staring at the bodies.

Kat quickly turns around. “Logan” She grabs him. “I told you to stay on the horse” She sighs. “Listen..” She turns to Olivia. “Take Logan here back to Wolfhound.” She stands. “I’ll take care of all this” She rubs her eyes.

Olivia nods. “But Kat…”

Kat looks at her.

“It was your brother…” Olivia looks at the ground.

Kat stands there shocked. She says nothing. Suddenly she shakes her head. “NO!” She fires a lighting bolt at a tree near by. It explosives.

“Wow” Logan says surprised.

Olivia looks terrified. “I’m-”

“No!” Kat grabs her hand. “Go now!” She pulls her and Logan to the horse.

They get on.

“Go back. Now!” Before they could argue back Kat slaps the horses ass. It takes off. She watches them. “Now…” She looks over to a dead body. “Time to shred some blood…” She takes the sword from the dead guard. She looks at the many hills before her. “You picked the wrong fight…” She pauses. “…little brother…” She walks down the path to the hills.
