King Edward (Ed Sheeran)

The Final Chapter

Now am we meet the last and one of the most important people of this books. The person no one could predict. Also, that's not my picture, that's from the movie Beowulf.

My eyes opened upon hearing my name being called, which was surprising, considering I have not been called in years. I lifted my he'd from where there were resting upon my hands and looked over the edge of the castle.bThe sky was darkened, and there was not a single light in sight. The last lonely strangler that had come across the castle had been devoured long ago. That was in the spring time. It was becoming summer, right?

I ignored it and set my head back down, shutting my eyes again. I could sleep for days at time, sometimes weeks if I tried. The months seemed to fly by, and I was not sure how long I had been living inside the abandoned castle alone, but it was certainly more than a few years. Perhaps it had been a century, I was unsure.

"Edward." The familiar voice rang out in my head and I looked up again, becoming frustrated. It was all a part of my imagination. My body did not age, but my mind did, and I was becoming senile. The only person with a voice that sweet had died many, many, many years ago was locked away in the church inside the castle. I was not crazy, and I would not be fooled.

Yet the voice came again, softly, tickling my ears. "Edward..."

"That is not going to work," I said, closing my eyes. "I have done the same thing, and it is very easy."

It was true. I could lure people into the woods, into the castle by calling them, and their foolish curiosity led them right to me. Eating people had not been something I planned on doing, but I became hungry, and I needed to.

Between eating people and burning villages towns to the ground, the evil that I had grew into an undeniable hatred for humans. I never took my human form, simply because I did want to be apart of a race so cowardly and disgusting. They feigned innocence, but they were all the same. I hated them

"Edward..." the sweet voice called again.

I stood up, my fatigued body moving slowly as I forced it to moved for the first time in a very long time. "What?" I shouted into the empty night, my voice penetrating the air. My eyes, which were accustomed to the darkness saw everything, in search of heat that could point out another intruder. However, there was nothing but the trees. Not even animal roamed my land.

"Come find me, Edward." Mirabelle's humming cut into my ears, burning me hotter than the fire that I had nestled in my own chest. I was becoming sick of the game that had just barely started.

"I will find you," I said, flying from the top of the castle to the ground. "Oh, I will find you, and I will end this."

"Hurry," she said. I moved through the darkness, using my skilled ears to search for the owner of the deceiving voice.

It was a witch of course. How else could I be hearing Mirabelle voice. The voice I wanted to forget for many years was now fresh in my mind, echoing around inside my head. I walked into the woods, creepily quietly, making almost no notice as I looked amongst the trees. The monster's laugh disguised my Mirabelle's voice angered me, and I longed to get my hands upon it and snatch the life from its body. Luckily for it, I was hungry.

"You are getting closer," she said sweetly. I followed the voice to a mountains, but the voice and the girl was no where in sight. I looked around, then found a very obvious golden light pouring out of a cave in the mountain. "Closer..."

I quickly attempted to get into the cave, but my body was much too big to fit into it. "Ugh!" I cried, becoming slightly stuck. "Come out so I can fucking kill you!"

The laughed filled my ears and I closed my eyes. "Come in and find me, my sweet King."

The light was golden, moving in unseen ways. I longed I see what was there, but I could not fit! I did not want to take my man form, because that would make me vulnerable. Suddenly Mirabelle's pain screamed filled my ears, playing with my name. "Help me!"
