As You Wish (Completed) (being rewritten)

Chapter 20

Jacob's POV~

I was still in the dungeon. No access to anyone unless they went through Sir Ryder. I'd been in here... 2-3 days? I can't remember.
I was in deep thought, when the dungeon door opened. Sir Ryder stepped in.
"Jacob. Still in the dungeon I see." He said smirking.
"Sir Ryder. Still wanting me to talk, I see?" I asked.
"Yes. Now what did you do to Zoe?!" He screamed.
"I'll tell you. But first you have to take me to look at Zoe's memories." I said.
"No. Why would I do that?" He asked.
"Please, Sir. I know you have no reason to trust me. But you have to let me look at Zoe's memories with you. I can tell you what happened. I'm not saying you have to free me. You can chain me up while we look at them. If you let me tell you what happened while we're looking at the memories, everything will make more sense. If you want, you can ask Zoe about it when you give her memories back. If she says I'm right, you let me go. If she's says in wrong, you can do whatever you want with me." I said.
"Sounds... Interesting... Okay. I'll let you see her memories. But I'll have to ask Alex about the whole getting free thing." He said.
"Yes. Thank you Sir!" I exclaimed.
"You're welcome. Now put these on." He said, opening the door to my cell and handing me chains to go on my wrists.
"Yes, Sir." I said.
I put them on and locked them. He grabbed the middle of the chains and dragged me out of the dungeon. He dragged me into a large room where Prince Alex and King Logan sat around a table.
There was a little, light yellow ball hovering above the dark wood table.
When we walked in, Prince Alex looked straight at me.
"Ryder! What's he doing here?!" He screamed, slamming his hands on the table.
"Alex, calm down. He says he can explain Zoe's memories." Sir Ryder said.
"Fine" Prince Alex grumbled.
We all sat down, and King Logan chanted something inaudible, and the memories began playing as if they were a movie.
We saw Zoe as a little kid, running and playing with her parents, her older brother Louis and her little brother, Charles.
This was so nice, it was almost hard to think the next part was real.
The next memory, was of when she was twelve, and her and her family went into hiding because they didn't want to give her up.
There was a lot of them just sitting in the dark, barely breathing.
Then, the next memory showed her and her family being caught.
The vampire soldiers marched into their house and found them, they grabbed Zoe and tied her up. They lined her family up, and killed them. She had to watch. It was horrible. I could barely watch it.
Then, she was taken to the school.
This was where I got to explain.
She was beaten, by me, and the memories paused.
"What was that for? Why was she beaten? It doesn't look like she did anything wrong." Alex asked me.
"She didn't. It's what happens at the school. Every week, the vampires choose a slave, and 'has fun' with them. Get out anger, just for the fun of it. Zoe was always Sir John's, but when he wasn't there, I was assigned to her. I had to be hard, I was threatened if I didn't do exactly what Sir John told me to. And if you think I was hard, keep watching, Sir John was a lot harder. Skip forward a week." I said.
"They happen every week?!" Prince Alex exclaimed.
"Yes." I replied.
King Logan skipped forward a week.
Sir John was there this time.
He Drained her, then 'had fun' with her by nearly killing her.
These people were cruel. I was ashamed to have ever worked there.
"I can't take it!" Sir Ryder said.
"Wait! Just, skip forward to the last memory at the school. The day of the auction." I told them.
They did as I said.
The morning started off the same, wake up, eat, go back to the cell.
Then, Zoe was taken out of her cell before anyone else. She was taken to a room, and beaten, then Drained, then beaten again. All by Sir John. He healed most of them, from that day. He left a some on her stomach, and a lot on her back, one was fresh.
"Her reminder." Prince Alex said.
None of us questioned him.
She blacked out, and the memory stopped.
Seconds later, her blurry vision came back into view. She was sitting in her cell.
Then the man arrived and took her to the auction. And we all knew what happened after that.
King Logan shut her memories off.
"Tomorrow I'm going to the school and firing everyone there, and Sir John will be the first to go." King Logan said.
"Too late for John. Fired him today when he tried to kill Zoe at my meeting." Prince Alex said.
We all nodded solemnly.
"I need to think about this, you're all free to go. Alex, give Zoe her memories back." King Logan said.
"Not yet. I'll give them back tomorrow morning. I want to give her the best day of her life before her world comes crashing down with the memories." Prince Alex said.
"Good call." King Logan said.
We all walked out of the room, leaving King Logan alone.
Prince Alex turned to me.
"You were helpful today. You can stay in the castle for a while until you find a job." He said.
"Thank you, Sir. Thank you!" I exclaimed, bowing.
"You're welcome, Jacob. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get Zoe and give her the best day she's ever had. I'm going to have given back her memories." He said.
Then, he turned and left. Jogging up the stairs.
