Way Back Home(The Owl House Mediaeval AU) (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 27

Amity's POV

"What do you mean he's not coming for Luz! She's his daughter!" Boscha snapped.

Willow was reading the letter. In the corner of my eye, I could see Boscha trying to figure out about Harry.

"Because.. He doesn't know Luz is here... He'll be here in a few days...." I muttered.

Boscha's eye twitch slightly. "You know what... If Leroy didn't take care of him I will!" She snarled.

I blinked at her. "Please don't..."

Boscha stomped off grumbling.

"So what will we tell Luz?" Willow asked.

I looked at the medic apprentice. "Simple, we don't." I muttered. Willow went to argue but I interjected her, "yet. We don't tell her yet. She's already under a lot of stress with having to be queen, not to mention I have to ask her about a plan Captain Mya came up with." I sighed. "I'm worried she's going to be under to much stress after she heals..."

Willow nodded. "Right, makes since." She looked away. "I suppose I should go calm down Boscha.." she muttered. She turned away and gave me a gentle wave before running after Boscha.

I watched her disappear behind the stairs. I turned away and started down the hall. I could see two guards standing at the door I needed in.

One guard noticed I was walking up. "Queen Amity.." he stated. "Are you here for-"

I nodded.. "Next servant you see, tell them to fetch my sword." I muttered.

The two opened the door and I walked in. The darkness of the prison was something I wasn't prepared for. Carefully, I walked down the stair way.

When I reached the bottom, I could see two guards in front of one of the cells.

"Queen Amity." Said one of the guards. He and the other guard shared an anxious glance.

"What are you doing here?" Stammered the other guard.

I didn't answer the two, just stared. I heard the door up the stairs open. I looked behind me, seeing one of the guards from the outside carrying my sword.

"You're not going to kill them are you?" The knight asked.

I narrowed my eyes. "What. Scared of a little blood?" I sneered before grabbing my sword and studying it. 

All three knights eyes widen as if they didn't expect me to be so gruesome.

I let out an irritated sigh, "of course I'm not going to kill them!" I snapped. "At least not without answers." I snarled. I turned to the guard who brought me sword. "Go on. Back to your post!" I snarled.

The guard saluted me before running up the stairs. I turned away and walked up to the cell. The two knights stepped out of the way and I stepped in.

"Queen Amity... We all know you're not the queen." Hissed the assassin. Their gaze landed on me, their red eyes were unsettling. "You won't be getting any answers out of me."

"So you'd rather die?" I asked. "Because if you do it's a high chance that you'll go to hell." I snarled.

The assassin let out a creepy laugh, "hell doesn't sound so bad... Besides.. You wouldn't kill me and ruin your perfect reputation as acting queen." They sneered.

I narrowed my eyes and slashed my sword. The assassin gasped as blood trickled down into their eyes. They stared at me wide eyes. I crouched down and put my sword to their throat and gently began to slice their throat.

"Try me." I snarled.

The assassin gasped. "OKAY! I'LL TALK!"  I pulled my sword away and watched the blood trickle from their throat and face. They smiled slightly. "For a queen you're pretty gruesome. It's kinda hot.."

I narrowed my eyes. "Don't go there. I will kill you." I threatened.

The assassin blinked at me. "My name is Jesse... I'm non-binary..."

"Jesse, huh? Gender neutral name.." I muttered.

"Exactly why I chose it." They smiled, winking. I gripped my sword and made sure the assassin could see it.. Well they did and winced. "Right sorry. I forget my life is on the line with a beautiful face like yours to look at." They flirted.

"You really want to die don't you!" I growled.

"No! No I don't. I'm just stating facts.. I'm sure you're not use to getting complements by the way your eyes light up." They laughed.

I lifted my sword. "Who sent you." I growled.

"You should know this answer.... Your lovers brother and your future brother in law!" They laughed.

I sighed. "I had a feeling Leroy was behind this.." I muttered. I looked back up at the assassin. "Who do you work for?"

Jesse looked down at their cloak. "What is my symbol on my cloak." They growled.

I looked down at their cloak.... A raven was visible on her cloak. "A Raven Assassin." I murmured.

Jesse nodded. "Sure am. Just like Boscha was." They laughed.

I narrowed my eyes. "Do you know Leroy's plans?" I asked.

Jesse shook their head, "I wish. If I did I would've killed him by now." They growled.

I hesitated. "Why would you kill Leroy?" I asked.

"Because, he's a terrible king and is making everyone join the army and be ready for war with Cordova. Forcing anyone above the age of 10. My little brother was killed during training... He was 11..." growled Jesse.

I stared, eyes wide. "11..."

They nodded.

"But why would you work for him to kill me." I asked.

"Because, I thought maybe if I did the job, I could get closer to him and learn his plans..." They growled.

An idea came to mind. "Jesse... I think we can come to an... agreement."

(Hey y'all! Because I'm a shameless attention seeker I wanted to share a drawing of this scene(I'm not to happy with the background, didn't come out the best.)
