Moonstruck

| Chapter XIV |

Trigger warning for Gore

"Rise and Shine ladies!" The cell door slams open, jerking the Princesses to a shocking wake. Sam winced as she opened her eye, realizing Lizzie must've put the patch on while she was asleep. Sam looks over to her sister, seeing her groggy yet annoyed expression. Sam's eyebrows push together in confusion. "She was so scared yesterday, what's the sudden change of attitude now?" Sam thinks, and then remembers.

She hates being woken up too early. A few years ago, a head knight woke her up for an emergency inspection, and she got so angry that she ordered the queen to throw him in the dungeon. The King obviously told her no, even though her other mother was completely fine with the idea. She sighs at the memory, silently wishing for those times again. She looks to the barred window, seeing as the sun is rising, giving a deep colored orange to the sky. Sam would've enjoyed such a view, and maybe even painted it if she wasn't being held prisoner right now. Right. They were being held captive. Sam looks up at Elyza, scowling at the slim woman as she has a knight pull a chair through the cell door for her to sit on.

"So!" she sits, crossing her legs as the knight stands beside her, hands behind his back. "Let's start with you, Taylaine." She says, turning to the younger. She doesn't respond, just scowls deeply, the whites of her eyes slightly pink from lack of sleep. Seeming to not care, the queen continues. "So, what allies does your kingdom have?" She says, putting her elbow on her knee and her chin in the palm of her hand as she stares at the darker pointedly. She doesn't say anything, but her glare sharpens. Sam examines her deeper. She knows her sister. She knows shes scared out of her mind right now. She can see it clear as day, but her strong will and emotions disguises the fear she's hoarding within.

The queen huffs angrily, standing up and grabbing Taylanies cheeks from under her chin, making her cheeks and lips push out. The older Princess cringes a bit, it seemed painful. "Listen. I'm already having a bad day." She growls out, a vein popping out of her forehead. "So you better fess up before I have to get forcefu-" Taylanie suddenly snorts down whatever was in her nose, and before the queen could move out the way, taylanie spits in her face, yellow snot and bubbly saliva sliding down the pale woman's face. Sam couldn't hold her bubbling laughter, as she tries to muffle the sound with her knees. Taylanie didn't even try to hide her snicker, but her grin quickly diminishes as the queen slaps her across the face.

"You rotten-" She couldn't finish her sentence as both of taylanie's feet started thrashing around, effectively kicking her thighs, legs and eventually stomach. The knight behind her pulls the queen away with one arm and points his sword at her face. The queen puts her hand on his, pushing the sword down as she holds her stomach in pain. "No.." she smirks, looking up at the glaring child. "Since you like using your...Since you both like using your blasted legs so much.." She stand up straight, a hand still on her stomach. "Bring me two more knights in here." She says, maintaining eye contact. The knight nods, walking out the cell. The Queen leans on the wall, her smirk unwavering. Only footsteps were heard as the three had a stare-down, waiting for whatever the captor was planning. Sam had a bad feeling. For a good reason too.

Two other knights showed up, along with the one from before. One with dyed red hair, and the two others with brown. "You. Hold one of her legs down. And you, Pull her leg up. steadily." she says, points at the Knights and then the girl. Sam's mind immediately clicks. Shit! "Don't do what your about to do right now!" Sam pleaded, yelling slightly as she pulled against her restraints. The queen snorts as she looks at Tayalnie. She can't even get a proper response out do to her struggling against the knights hands, but to no avail. "And you." She says, referring to the red-haired knight, still looking at the struggling girl. "Cut off her leg. Just below the knee." She says slowly, her lips bending into a sinister smirk.

The knight nods, walking up to the girl slowly, pulling his sword out of its scabbard. "NO!" Sam screams, her voice straining. Taylanie pulls and pushes more, panicking as tears pricked her eyes. "I'LL TELL YOU! I PROMISE, ILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING!!" Sam screams, shaking and pulling against her restraints as tears fell against her cheeks. The Queen only laughs, mimicking the laugh Sam let out when she was spat on. The red haired knight shoots Taylanie an apologetic look before positioning his sword, and finally, pushing the sword into the joint. Taylanie let's put a piercing scream as tears finally start falling rapidly. The knight tugs his sword to the side, effectively cutting off one side of her leg as blood falls onto the concrete floor. Sam turns her head, unable to look as her sisters limb hits the floor. The princess is no longer screaming, just loud choked sobs, coughs, hiccups and gasps for air.

The queen lets out a satisfied hum as she turns to walk out the cell. Sam yells out after her, "You sick bitch!" she screams, her tears and knot in her throat making her voice falter. The queen stops in her tracks, and turns around with a soft smile on her face. "Do you want to end up like your sister, you cyclops?" She giggles, as she walks away, heels clicking after her.

"I'm so TIRED." Envy groans, laying her body down onto the horses neck dramatically. Ash rolls his eyes grumpily, also exhausted. "you sHUT UP. You've been complaining THIS WHOLE WAY HERE." Envy snaps her head toward the nuisance, whisper-yelling a crabby, "bECAUSE IM TIRED." Ash only sighs, riding into a near village.

They've reached the boarders of the Vianna Kingdom, striding near a villages crowded with men, women and children. As the two rode their steads into the main road of the village, the women were anything but silent.
"Who's that..?"
"He's kind of attractive.."
"Oh my, I was thinking about leaving my husband anyway..!"
"That girl behind him his cute t- ew, Is she drooling?"
"It's kinda cute!"
"No it is not."
Ash was way too tired to deal with foreign village maidens, so instead of greeting them like he'd usually do, he just gave a tired smile and limp wave.
"OH MY GOD HE SMILED AT ME!"
"I'm in love. this is love at first sight!"
"I thought those weren't real.. but-"
"My dick hard"
"..."
Ash snickers as he rides deeper into the village, looking for somewhere to eat. While looking around, he sees a large castle in the distance. It's definitely an afternoon away, judging from how small it looks from their distance. Unsure if he should continue, he looks back at envy, who's asleep against her horse. He sighs."I guess we should find an inn."

"I didn't write 3 times in a row. I hope King Kairi won't be mad. Well, i write today, so i guess it's better than 4 days? ugh"
