Taming Death

Traitors

Theo

"Fuck you! You're the traitor! You're our prince and you marry the enemy! You betrayed us." The first man yelled.

"You sold us out to the people who almost ruined our clan!" Said the second man "Her and her family will pay for their sins! We wont let them off. Now's our chance for revenge and we wont let it slip by!"

"You're no prince of mine, you bastard!" Yelled the first man before he lunged at me with a wild swing, I dodged. Was this guy serious? I countered with an uppercut to the ribs. As the second man tried to grab me from behind, I spun and elbowed his jaw, sending him flying backward.

The first man quickly drawing a knife and slashing at my stomach "you're fucking dead traitor!"

I just barely dodged, feeling the blade slice through my shirt. Using the momentum of my dodge, I grabbed the attacker's wrist, twisted it sharply, and forced the knife into his ribs. The first man collapsing with a pained grunt. I made sure I missed his vital organs. I don't want this son of a bitch's death to come painless and easy.

The second man, regained his balance, charged again, this time with a broken bat in hand. I run at him head-on, I guess the outlining villages have forgotten who he is and what their prince is capable of. I sidestepped at the last moment and tripping him with a well-placed foot. As the man stumbled, I used his own bat giving him the final blow to the back of his head, he went limp and became unconscious.

"Son of a bitch, I'll deal with you two later."

Breathing heavily, I rush over to Orion. Holding the back of her head leaving warm blood on my fingers.

"Fuck. Little Bunny, you're bleeding."

My heart was racing I was flooded with worry and anxiety for my little bunny.

Just then her older brothers and Carter show up with another man in tow. He was covered head to toe in blood, his face was so swollen and his jaw slacked because it was broke.

"Where the fuck have you been? Who's that?" I was yelling at them. I honestly didn't even care to hear the answers. I needed her healed and safe.

"Woah man, we came here as soon as Carter found us." Oleander replied. Oleander ran over to his baby sister seeing the blood drops leak down Theo's hand, Oli became concerned.

"This is Julian, Carter found him." Arragon said. "After he told us what happened we began to frantically search for anything that could lead us to her or anyone apart of this."

"He's the brains apparently, the innkeeper just let them know when she left and sent her down that path. He was paid to do so" Carter confirmed my suspicions. A leech, willing to sell out his own prince for some coin. He could have sold the information to us instead. Fucking idiot.

"Well fuck, someone get a healer! She's still unconscious." I could barely focus all my thoughts were centered around Rion.

"You, go get a healer, and you go get the innkeeper and his wife." Carter giving directions one of to the soldiers.

"The innkeepers wife isn't the traitor so leave her be, she was the only helpful person in this town."

"But bring those other treacherous fucks here."

"We're gonna take her to her room, come see us when you're done." Oleander said.

"Should I come get you after the healers done?" Arragon asked.

Just then the soldiers brought in the innkeeper. Unconscious, bruised and bloody.

"No, I have things to do here for I come back up to see her." I know they could feel the anger and disgust coming from my tone and probably knew I was going to do something that will upset her.
