Masked Royalty(bxb)

Part 6

Achilles pov:

My stomach dropped when the words left the guards mouth.

I followed after Kyson and rushed to the window.

I saw small kids in a beat up vehicle, many chains and shackles. I had to do something. I wasn't going to sit here and watch.
Kyson turned to me, with a saddened face.

"Did-"

I quickly tried to walk away.

He grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
"No! You're staying here."

I started laughing. "You're funny."
Before I tried to walk away, again,

He stopped me once more, I growled lowly starting to get frustrated. "How the fuck do you think I would've done that? I was in my room the whole time, I have no idea who it is."
Kyson, let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Go back in your room and don't leave till I say!" I sighed without saying anything, full of frustration.

"What the hell? I'm not staying here! You can't tell me what to do!" I shouted back at Kyson, my body almost trembling with anger.

"Achilles! If you wanna end up back in that cell and possibly killed be my guest! If not...stay! Here!" He quickly left; leaving me full of frustration and wrath.

I was basically a prisoner here too, I have no idea why I'm still here.

He was out of his mind, if he actually thought I was gonna sit here, and watch innocent people be taken away. I glanced out the window, a small boy caught my eye. I watched as the Royal guards came out. The other team attacked.

They were completely under attack, without any clue why.

No one went to all the innocent kids.
"Fuck this..." I mumbled under my breath.
I opened the door, to hear the queens voice echoed through the hall.

There's no way I'd get out through the house. I rushed over starting to panic, opening the window, I glanced down, I was on the second floor, I've fallen from higher...

I sat on the window, turning around, grabbing the window sill, stretching down the building.

Cursing under my breath, as I fell into a large patch of bushes, definitely not my brightest moment, but it caught my fall but leaving many bloody cuts and a few bruises left to form.

I quickly rushed out, just as a taller man, walked to the vehicle with all the innocent people. I swear I could hear my heartbeat. I didn't care how pissed Kyson would be, my focus was on the innocent lives that were about to be used as bribery. The man pulled out a kid, and began walking him over to the fight.

This poor kid was skin and bones, he was completely filthy, clearly a prisoner.

I could see the our guards began fighting with the other warriors, their swords clashing together.

I saw Kyson step into the fight as well, I hate to admit it, but I felt the urge to leave all these innocent people and protect Kyson...can he fight by himself?

He must be able too...but if he gets hurt...

Focus....focus Achilles...

I had no weapons, they mostly took everything. The few things they didn't take, would not be helpful...

I watched the man carefully, figuring out the best way to take him down, watching his body and the way he walks, which gave me the indication he was human or a warlock...

I slowly snuck out behind him, wrapping my left arm around his neck, and locking it with my right.

I held his neck tight, till I felt his body go limp, he collapsed to the ground.

"Hey, bud, I'm not gonna hurt you don't worry..." I spoke softly trying my best not to scare the innocent boy.
I quickly dropped down, reaching into my jacket sleeve, where my small metal lock pick was sewed into my jacket.

I unlocked his chains, remembering what I was taught on lock picking, I've been picking locks since I was his age, as his face lit up. He smiled so big before jumping into my arms. He still hasn't said a word to me.

"What's your name, bud?" I asked the small blue eyed boy.

"Arron." He smiled.

"Would you like to help me unlock the rest of the kids?" He nodded eagerly as he rushed to the vehicle, in his baggy and torn up shirt and pants.

By the time I got all the kids unlocked, the royals had captured and killed the rest of the attackers.

"Achilles!" Eva came running out in her long dress, along with another girl and an older women.

"Eva...can you please go get them water...maybe some snacks, better clothing?" I asked her softly.
As some of the kids were barely even covered at all.

"Of course!" She rushed off leaving me with the other two girls.

"I'm Lexi! And this is my mom, we're close friends of the Royal family." She smiled softly she had long black hair, and green eyes.

"I'm Jennie," the older women smiled, holding her hand out.

"I'm Achilles, or a mass murder to some," I gave them a fake smile, not in the mood for introductions.
I was trying my best to care for the children.
She retracted her hand, giving me a scared look.

Eva returned with the things I asked, and Lexi and her mom helped hand them out.
The smaller boy I rescued from being killed, had began to cling to me. When Kyson rushed over, visibly angry with me.

I continued to care for the shaking kids, trying to help ease some of the pain they were in.

"Achilles!" Kyson growled lowly, making me stand up to face him.

"I told you to-" his voice was loud as Arron hid behind me nervously.

"Would you shut up...? You're gonna scare the kids..." I whisper shouted, taking him by surprise as he just now noticed the little boy. I picked up Arron, who quickly hid his face in my neck.

"It's okay...Kyson isn't gonna hurt you." I rubbed his back cooing softly, to comfort him.

"L-last k-king hurt..." he stuttered out in a weary voice, peaking a small glance at Kyson.

"I'm not mean...I promise..." Kyson whispered softly.

"Some of them are gonna need medical care, they have infected cuts and horrid bruises." I told Kyson.
Speaking of infected cuts, my leg was throbbing from my fall and I swear my rib cage was sliced open by a branch...

"I'll go fetch the doctor...we're gonna talk about you not following orders later..." he grumbled.

I rolled my eyes as I continued to care for the sweet children. Getting to know all their names and even a little idea of what happened while they were kidnapped.

"Why your mouth covered?" Arron asked me softly as I helped the doctor by bandaging a cut on, Emily, another sweet kid.

"Well you see. Just like you...I was kidnapped at some point too. But I was left with a nasty scar..."

"Can I see?" His eyes went wide as he listened to me speak.

"It's kinda scary...I don't want you to get frightened. That's why I cover it."

"Don't it get hot?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"It does, but I can deal with it, because I'm strong! Just like you." I tickled his belly playfully. Thankfully that distracted him enough to end his questions.
