Swan Lake

Chapter 11

"Take my son!"

"But the kingdom! Your people-"

"That is why I have to stand this alone..."

His sad looking eyes stared down at the fabric rested on the old woman's chest

Reaching out his hand

He caressed those small and gentle face

"Let him live a life where he does not have to get through this same pain..."

He smiled

"Take care of Wybourne..Mother..."

"Well...do you have anything to say, Huntsman?"

The sorceress could only smile at those lost, confusing gaze staring at her into nothing

His heart sunk in horror upon the revelation that he has listened

After all this time

His identity had taken away

His purpose...

His people...

His family....

And now, her...

Wybie looked at Coraline desperately clunging her dear life upon the sorceress hand

"Your father was a coward unruly King, he had the power to take every kingdom and yet, he chose to do nothing..."

"I suppose you still have that royal blood running from your veins, isn't it, my Prince??"

"Please...Coraline has done nothing to you...nor the other women.." he reasoned, turning his back near the two figures hiding beneath the bushes

his eyes hurtfully looked back at those shocked cerulean irises

Her body grew weak as she tried to stood up, everything felt so numb...

"Winnie...what's going on??" Agatha asked worriedly, as she could felt the tremble on her dear friend's voice

"It all makes sense now..." Winnie whispered, trembling on the maiden's arms in realization "It all makes sense why whenever I saw him, I felt a whirl of connection inside my chest..."

Whipping her head in fear her eyes witness the the helpless figures being toyed by the same creature that lifted the curse among them

The sorceress looked at him in wonder before she pulled Coraline closer by her side, observing the woman dangling on her clutches

"Oh them? Why these women are nothing but pests, the only reason I turned them into swans because it was amusing to see them waddle..." she laughed, covering her slit mouth in content

But the Huntsman's face could only stare in horror as he looked back towards Winifred and Agatha

"And of course, to bait you as well..." she finished with a smirk

Wybourne confusingly knitted his brows

But the stinging pain on his arm is making him unable to move much further as the crimson red ooze continued to flow down

"You see...your highness..I collected women in order for you to took the bait, whoever was into your liking I could use them into my advantage.." she stopped and looked at Coraline again in pure disgust

"But it seems that you had chosen this first victim of mine huh? Out of the other women, you had to chose this stubborn headed thing over the quiet ones because of that quenching lust that all men have..."
