Coven Of Witch Craft - Chapter 8

As the sun rises the people of the kingdom awoke. As they all started to head outside they heard yelling. They all stood in shock. Kat stood on the hill facing all of them. She knew these people needed to know that their king and queen were not who they thought they were. But she grew nervous. She wanted to show them but she was afraid they would think she was the evil one. She knew she had to do this perfect or else.

“PEOPLE OF ROSEWOOD! I AM HERE TO SHOW YOU HOW YOUR OWN KING AND QUEEN STOLE FROM YOU!” Kat leaned back to talk to a man.

The people of Rosewood didn’t know what was going to happen.

Kat stood up. She waved her hand. As she did some guards brought up the king and queen. “This is your king and queen! I will show you now what they have been hiding from you innocent people.” She pulled down the curtain behind her. All the people screamed. Some busted out crying. “THESE CRUEL PEOPLE MADE YOU THINK YOUR LOVED ONES DIE! BUT THE TRUTH WAS THAT THEY HID THEM SO THEY COULD EXPERIMENT ON THEM!” She put her blade to the kings throat. “Rosewood it is your call if you want me to kill them for how cruel they were to your own. But if not I will throw them in my dungeon.” She stared at the crowed. She didn’t want them to suffer any longer. “Let me help you please.” She looked into the crowed. The faces of them were angry. Some started to shout “Kill the bastereds!”. She nodded. “It will be done!” she turned to face the king and queen. “You shouldn’t have messed with the unknown” she grabbed the queens hair. She quickly slit her throat. The crowed cheered. She went to the king.

“You’ll never get away with this” he said as he spit on Kats shoe.

She shook her head. “Awe whats wrong? You scared now?” She bent down to his level. “I’m going to make sure you suffer so much.” she smiled as two men grabbed him. They hanged him upside down. Kat stood and smiled at him. “I will never let you see what you created” she stabbed him in his stomach. He screamed in pain. Kat slowly took it out. “See people? This is what happens when you mess with your own people!” she slit his throat. He started to bleed out. Blood got on Kat. But she didn’t care. She turned back to the people. “If you wish to follow me than come. But if not than stay. Your choice!” she jumped down and walked through the crowed. As she reached the door she turned. She was surprised. All the people were behind her. Kids, babies, men and woman all stood there smiling. She smiled at them. “Thank you”

As Kat rode back to Wolfhound, people cheered. They also greeted the newcomers with gifts. Kat smiled as she sat on her horse. For awhile she didn’t think she would ever please her people but now she did. The look on their faces. How happy they were and safe. She knew she did the right thing. For them.

“Guess you had a brilliant time huh?” Riley stood below Kat smiling.

“Riley!” Kat jumped off her horse and hugged her son. “Sorry I forgot to say hi” She laughed.

“Its fine. I knew you would be victorious.” He looked back at Alvina then back at his mother. “Mom, I have great news to share.”

She looked at her son. “Come on! Spit it out!”

“We are having a baby” He looked at his mother worried.

She started to tear up. She hugged her son tight. “Everyone! I’m going to be a grandmother!” She shouted at the crowd around them. They cheered.

“Thank you mom. But I was thinking. I think its time I live on my own. I want to move in with Nicky. So we both can live together. We also want to get married.”

“Riley, you have my blessing.” She kissed her sons forehead. “Call her over please”

Riley turned to where Alvina stood. “Come.”

Alvina walked over to them. “Hello Kat” She smiled nervously.

Kat touched Alvina stomach. “You’ve grown big. How long are you?”

“Well, I’ve been wondering that too so we visited Libra. She said that I was about three months in. I didn’t know. I thought I was just getting big” She laughed.

Kat smiled as she touched Alvinas belly. “That’s great. I hope you two live long together.” She turned to Riley. “When will your wedding be?”

“Maybe this summer. When the sun comes out” He put his around Alvina. “We will pay for everything.”

“Nonsense. I will pay. My gift.” Kat hugged her son again. “Now I must go. I must make sure the prisoners are well kept.” She walked off toward a cage. Two men sat in it. The man from before an a guard. She looked at the guard. “You could have been free. Why must you be stubborn?”

He spit on her face. “For my king and queen”

“Hey that’s not how you treat a lady!” the other man in the cage hit the guard in the head. “Say sorry”

The guard growled. “Sorry..”

Kat stared at the man. “I don’t need your help.” she walked off leaving the man laughing.

“Okay lass. Whatever you say” He watched her walk away.

“Stop kissing her ass. She’ll never let you out” The guard looked at the ground.

“I’m not! I’m simply trying to be nice.” The man looked around. He noticed Riley. “First I’ll start by kissing her sons ass.” He laughed.

As nightfall came the people of Wolfhound threw a feast. Everyone sat in the great hall.

“Everyone rise for Queen Kat and Queen Libra!” A guard yelled.

Everyone stood as Kat and Libra walked in. Both woman smiled.

“Why must they treat us like this?” Libra whispered.

“What? I think its nice to be queen.” Kat sat at her throne.

Libra also sat at her throne. She looked worried at her sister. She started to think all this treatment was getting to her head. “Just because you were once royal doesn’t mean you can boss these people around. You didn’t save them from nothing.”

Kat looked at Libra. “I don’t care what you think of me. I will help these people whether you like it or not.”

Libra swallowed hard. “So be it.” She started to eat the food in front of her.

Kat stared at her. Why must she care so much? She thought. But she ignore her. She must continue to fight for these people. They needed her.

As everyone feast a guard approached Kat.

“Queen, the prisoner wants to speak to you. He says he will only talk to you.”

Kat sighed. “So be it. I’ll be there soon.” she turned to Libra. “I must leave. Please take care of them while I’m gone.”

Libra grew angry. She also was Queen. She didn’t need Kat telling her what to do. “I’m also their Queen. I don’t need your words.”

Kat sighed. “I’m sorry. You’re right. But I must leave.” She stood and left with the guard.

“Where is my mother off to?” Riley, who was sitting next to Libra, asked.

“One of the prisoners wants to speak to her.”

“Oh. Hopefully its Derek.” Riley put some potatoes in his face.

Libra looked at him confused. “You know one of the prisoners?”

“Oh yeah! I mean I just met him today but he seemed great. I honestly don’t know why he is a prisoner but I’m not Queen so I have no idea” he smiled as he ate some more food.

“Okay. Also close your mouth when you eat” Libra went back to her food.

Kat walked down the stairs to the dungeon. It was cold and wet. Two cells sat on both walls. She went to the left one. “You wanted to speak to me?”

The man, named Derek, walked up to the bars. “Yes lass. I wanted to apologize.”

“Very well. But that doesn’t mean you will be let out. If you want to become one of us you must first prove your loyalty” She started to walk up the stairs when he spoke again.

“I know about Leon lass”

Kat froze. She walked back to him. “What about him do you know?”

“Well that’s really for only me and you lass” he smiled.

Kat swallowed hard. She turned to the guard. “Leave us. I’ll be safe”

The guard nodded. He left.

Kat turned back to the man. “First what is your name?”

“Call me Derek lass” He started to walk back to his bed.

“Tell me everything you know about him.” She looked him in the eyes as he sat on his bed. She knew she needed to know everything this man, Derek, knew about Leon. And she wouldn’t leave until he said everything.
