Somehow I could sense it was almost time. I don't know how, but I could.
The door to the basement burst open and a man with a black cloth pulled over his face stomped in.
"Time to go," the man said in a gruff voice.
He blind-folded me and picked me up.
When he set me down again, I was in a cold room. Someone removed me from the metal chair and laid me on the ground. Before I could try to escape, pain shot through my arm and I felt weaker than I ever had. I collapsed but no one caught me. The stone floor contacted with my head and created unbelievable pain.
Someone picked me up by one arm, and I felt like it would pop out of its socket. Then something was thrown over me, and my hands were tied behind my back.
I was forced to walk forward, barely keeping myself from tripping. I felt grass under my bare feet right before I was thrown forward. I hit something hard on the way down. I was left there for what felt like hours but was probably only a few minutes.
Suddenly a voice boomed through the forest. "King Henry. Queen Mary. I hope you are quite comfortable."
Someone removed my blindfold, but I still couldn't see very well through the thick black cloak covering most of my head. Still, I could see the king and queen tied to chairs in the middle of the clearing. I gasped.
The Jackal had kidnapped the king and queen!?
"We have finally captured your beloved Crossbow. Once we kill her, all your hope will be lost."
I saw the king and queen's eyes go wide. Their look said: WHAT? Crossbow's a SHE? A girl can defeat all these thieves?
OUR WHOLE LIVES WERE A LIE.
If I wasn't about to die, I might have giggled.
Then.
They removed the hood.
