The Pirates Daughter

The Trial

The townspeople gathered into the main room in the Queens castle, where the trial was to be held. I was standing at the front of the room, next to a large podium and throne for the judge and jury.

The guards put shackles around my wrists, but i persuaded them to not put any around my ankles.
I watched as hundreds of people walked through the large doors at the entrance. Finally, the last two people, i saw my Father and John. They stood slightly in the back of the room, to not cause much attention.

"We are gathered here today to discuss the trial put on this young girl, for stealing the Royal Queens crown..", gasps filled the room.

I smoothly rolled my eyes.

Regina walked in with a pained smile on her face, not all too happy about all of the dirty townspeople in her castle.

The queen put her hands on her hips and said rather loudly;
"Yes! I saw this hoodlum, her filthy hands wrapped around my precious crown, climbing out the window with it.... Guilty i say! She should be punished!"

My face got red with Anger and Embarrassment.

"There is yet.. A form of punishment i would like to choose specifically for this young girl" she looked at me and grinned.

"The killing of one of her family members."
Gasps filled the room.
"No! There has to be another way!" I shouted.

"Unfortunately.. There is not dear" she stuck out her lip and laughed.

"Killian!" I said quietly. But before i could say anything, i saw John run up to the middle of the room.

"No John! Go back Darling please!" I tried shouting, tears starting to form in my eyes.
"Killian you coward stand up! Save John! You have to save him!" The guards were holding my back now. Tears rolling down my face.

John stayed in the middle of the room.

"John please! Go back! Killian you sorry excuse for a pirate stand up for your son! He will get killed!", the guard at the front of the room held up his crossbow, pointed at John.

"Put that down! John listen to me, Go back!", Killian was looking around scared and shocked, not knowing what to do.

"Fire!" Shouted the Queen. The Guard hesitated for a second then shot at John.

I forcefully tried to get away from the guards holding me back, as i continued to shout at Killian.
"Killian you Coward! You could have saved him! He could still be here if you would of just stepped up!"

The guards started to drag me down the hallway to the dungeon.
"I will never forgive you! You Asshole! You Coward, how could you!

Killian was left standing there, tears steamed his eyes. He fell to his knees and started to cry.

The guards threw me in the dungeon and locked it behind me. I moved to the back corner of the small cage and started to cry uncontrollably, wishing i had never opened the cabin door this morning.
