The Vampire King

Chapter 16: Interrogation

Waking up to a guard putting cuffs on my wrists, I let out a low growl at him. He smacked my cheek once before gripping my hair and dragging me to the center of the cell. Groaning in pain and thrown to the floor face down. The guard stepped on my left hand with the heel of his boot which makes me grunt.

"You will keep shut and speak to the king directly when he asks you a question. Do you understand freak?" He commands

"Go fuck yourself first"

He starts kicking me in the stomach repeatedly as I let out grunts of pain before another guard came in. "The king is requesting his presence"

Both of them picks up Enoch by the arms and drags him out of the cell. They brought him to the Kings courtyard, others happened to be their from other kingdoms. Allies of his, dressed in fancy clothes and drinks in most of their hands. Once the guards walked in, most of the crowed gasped at the sight of Enoch's state. All of them seeing him naked and weak to their eyes. The collar around his neck as proof of the technology to keep him suppressed from using any powers.

  King Donovan steps out of the crowd with a drink in his hand. "Ladies and gentlemen, here is one of the monsters that has threatened our kind for too long! My ancestors were successful in killing his parents thousands of years ago and in return he killed their best men. Now we have the son, chained up like some pathetic animal. Look at him now and see who is the weakest link. He is, my men succeeded in capturing him at his home" The crowed were talking amongst themselves.

  King Donovan walked over and bent down some. "This is what you want? To be shown as a freak of nature? A pathetic, weak man who can't defend himself or his people?" He had a big smirk on his face.

  Looking up at him slowly and stares into his eyes.

"Well? What do you have to say for yourself vampire?"

  I spat in his face as the room grew quiet. Everyone was staring at me now. "You will die a most painful and slow death. You have started a war in which you will not win. You're people to be wiped out and turned into slaves"

  He did not like hearing what Enoch had to say. He ordered his guards to make him stand as another gave him a whip. "You have embarrassed me pet infront of my men, my people, and the visitors here" He walks around and cracks the whip.

  The guards holding my arms made sure my back was good. He started whipping me as grunts and yells of pain filled the hall. Some of the visitors had trouble watching as a few gagged and others just watched. Fifty lashes as blood soaked my back and pants leaving my mouth.

  Donovan came back around and gripped my cheeks. Act like that again and you will get more whips to your back. I snarled and nips at his hand. He was lucky enough to move away in time as the guards dragged me back to the dungeon. They finished beating me up before leaving. My body was left bruised and swollen as I lay on the floor of my cell. Unconscious for the rest of the afternoon and into the night.
