THE KING'S WARNING

I gripped my sword , the hilt digging into my fingers but I did no move to draw it.I stood there helpless watching they circle my sister like hungry wolfs , the first to strike her was Felix, his lips pulled back in a dangerous grin.The king's best torturer had my sister in his claws and the thought of his hands on her made blood burn in my veins.

Her screams filled the halls , blood roared in my ears. My body had gone rigid from the scene I beheld.My sister had raised her frail arms to protect her head from the blows but they were no match for those damned rods.

After what felt like eternity the king ordered them to stop.My body shook with rage for myself and the king.If I hadn't been so weak my sister wouldn't have had to suffer this. She laid there on the floor in her own blood with her chest rising and falling slightly.

My eyes burned with unshed tears , I tasted blood in my mouth from where I had sunk my teeth to keep myself from screaming.

The king rose from his perch on the throne and started towards me.His lazy like and mocking strides stopped a few feet away.I dragged my eyes from my sister and met his icy blue eyes. My eyes blazed from the fury that had been locked within me , he flinched or I thought he did , like he has anything to fear from me , though he kept his distance and glared at me.

"Now look at what you have done to your sister,looks like you don't love her after all " He taunted. Not trusting myself to speak I just stared at him.

"Was the misery of your sister worth the life of that ***** you spared. Whom you have not even met before." he laughed

"you might be the strongest warrior champion but you are too soft at heart and that kindness is not getting you or sister anywhere.so get it through your head champion I DO NOT TOLERATE NEGLIGENCE". he shouted at my face.

Each word fell from that filthy mouth of his flared my anger into a dangerous level. I felt something writhing beneath me thrashing to be released.

My mind felt like being pushed to it's limit like being on the edge of a cliff and one shove would have me tumbling down to a bottomless pit and I knew what resides beneath won't be pretty.

I tried to calm the restlessness in my bones and focused on the king.I knew that if I gave into these instincts I would only further endanger my sister.She had suffered too much already because of me and she doesn't deserve that ,it should have been me,I would have accepted the physical pain rather than the mental torture which gnaws my insides and kills my mind.

"If you want your sister to be breathing you better not let yourself out of line champion..you better not" His words felt like slaps on my face and the insult was like a brand which burned deeper and darker with each passing day.

" yes your majesty".
