"I want to talk, could you put the sword down?" Cece asks.
"Heh... Hell no." I say.
"Okay, okay, okay. Despite the fact that I have no idea what is happening, Hector, do you think we can hear her out?" Rapunzel asks.
"You don't want to hear her out. Her power is almost as twisted as her mind." I say.
"That's harsh." Cece points out.
"Oh is it? You tried to seduce me and then try to kill me." I say.
"I gave you the key to the underworld." She says.
I look down. Yeah, real help that was. It was dead end. There was no prophet.
"Hector, lower your sword." King Edmund says.
I let out a breath. I pull the sword away from her. She turns to me. I draw back. She removes her cloak and throws it on the floor. This isn't making any sense. Why is she here? She never strays from her island. I notice blood is dripping from her arm.
"What happened?" I ask.
She looks down.
"I need your help." She says.
I raise an eyebrow.
"Really? Since when do you need a man's help?" I ask.
I turn. I'm out of here. I don't care why you're here. I don't care, just leave me alone.
"Wait." She appears in front of me.
Her face... has she been crying? Her eyes look so puffy. She comes to her knees.
"Please, please, help me. I beg you. My nymphs... they were taken." She says.
