"Guards! I have her!" The guard screams just before I see the look of pure horror on his handsome face.

Frozen in shock as he looks around the room full of gory murder, done by the infamous seventeen-year-old Normal. I take advantage of his distraction and sprint to where his standing, chest falling up and down rapidly. I take my already bloody dagger out while circling around to his back in a swift motion. The guard finally gets the nerve to fight back, but I am already a step ahead. I kick his knees in to where he is before me on the floor. A fist his hair and place my dagger strategically to his throat applying just the right amount of pressure to smell the urine, ugh men.

"Now that I have your undivided attention, here is what is going to take place." I say while the adrenaline of revenge roars through my veins. "I will ever so kindly spare your life, but you will walk away, quickly and quietly as possible. I will also have you know that normally I'm not this nice, so you and your royal guards better make the right decision." I smirk knowing I hold power over a man selected by our King. He screamed and I rolled my eyes despite the situation.

"Well, you chose this not me, this really sucks because I really thought you were kind of cute." I sigh, then taking no more time to hesitate I decapitate him in one familiar motion. Avenging my mother is as freeing as I always thought it would be, this kingdom needs to pay for what they did.

I look around at the mess a made at my grandparents' house and smile, knowing this would have thoroughly pissed off my father. I run a bloody hand through my hair and take a second to laugh knowing very well that it could be the last time I would ever get the chance.

"Isla Medora, drop your weapon." I turn slowly, the guard's head still in my hand. "You are under arrest for the manslaughter of over a hundred citizens." Another one of the royal guards stands at the door, this one doesn't seem very scared, odd. I stand up, drop his friend's head and kick it towards him. He recoils no matter how hard he tried to contain it.

"What a shame, he really is handsome, or was." I smirk before beginning to pounce on my next target, but the King of Elreha walks through the door. I stop in my tracks.

"Well, it took you long enough. How are you old buzzard? Getting a couple of greys." I say sweeping a hand over my chin. He looks very unamused, and rage is coiling off him, my job here is done. "Okay make it quick." I manage to huff out while holding my fists up ready to be cuffed. The guards that stand behind the King look quite confused and to my enjoyment, so does the King. "Here, I'm done. Take me." I say blowing a brown curl that fell loose out of my braid.

The guards rush toward with their unsheathed swords. Despite myself I kept eye contact with the King and put on a deadly smile. They gathered the chains they use for extra precaution and placed them on me not so gently. Walking through the room toward the door is a feeling I have not experienced yet, and I know it will not be my last.

"We are just going to have so much fun." I smirk at the King as we depart to the Castle of Elreha.
