Lady Grim: A Fantasy Short Story

Chapter 14: Long Live The Queen

Clotho sat on the foot of the bed, staring at the floor as Hubris walked out with the biggest smirk on his face.

Clotho felt like she wanted to throw up but she stared at him, preparing for the worse to come.

"At last, let us create an heir my love." Hubris chuckled out as he pushed Clotho onto her back on the bed then climbed on top of her.

"This is so disturbing...but I have to do this." Clotho thought as she felt the tears getting ready to form into her eyes while Hubris began to kiss at her neck.

Hubris then pinned Clotho's wrists above her head to ensure that she doesn't try to escape as he continued.

The moment was then interrupted by one of the guards bursting through the door.

"YOUR HIGHNESS!" He cried out.

Hubris yelled out in frustration as he raised his head up to face the guard.

"Can't you see I'm trying to put a baby in her!? This better be good!" Hubris barked.

"W-wolves have surrounded the palace and we're about to be under attacked!" The guard yelled out.

Clotho's eyes grew wide as a smile began to form on her face.

Hubris growled in anger as he got off of Clotho to quickly get changed then ran out the bedroom.

"She's back...and she's stronger than before." Clotho thought to herself as she hurried to the window to see Lida and her wolf pack gathered around the palace at each entrance.

Clotho then hurried out the bedroom to find her scythe and her cloak.

She wasn't going to miss out on an opportunity in battle.

When Clotho reached the first floor, all she saw was devastation.

Werewolves tearing away the guards arms and legs in gruesome fashion while some of the guards impaled and slashed at the werewolves attacking them.

"Lida! Lida, where are you!?" Clotho called out.

Clotho's eyes quickly scanned the area in search of Lida until she found her being cornered by 6 guards. Clotho ran up to them and decapitated one guard that was about to perform the first attack on Lida. 

"Don't you touch her!" Clotho yelled out as she swung her scythe around, trying to kill off the remaining 5 guards.

Lida grabbed Clotho by her cloak with her mouth and placed her onto her back.

Clotho grabbed onto Lida's fur as Lida pounced into the air to stomp out a group of guards charging at them.

It was full on massacre in the palace.

Hubris was killing one of the werewolves when he saw Clotho and Lida. Hubris then grabbed a nearby tall candelabra and spear chucked it at Lida, hitting her right in the face.

Lida whined in pain from the fire burning half of her face then shook her head to put the flames out, which flung Clotho off in the process.

Clotho fell to the ground in pain then looked at Hubris, who was charging at Lida with a sword.

"NOOOOOOO!" Clotho yelled as she jumped in front of Lida right on time.

SPLICTK!

Clotho gasped as she felt the sword pierce her in her thigh. However, that was the least of her concerns. She was glad she wasn't stabbed in a vital area or that Hubris didn't stab Lida.

"What the!?" Hubris exclaimed.

Lida growled as she swiped at Hubris, sending him flying across the room, then looked at Clotho to see that she was bleeding a lot out of her leg.
