Chapter 10

Amanda

I open my eyes slowly. I feel some deja vu going on. "fuck not again." I mutter to myself. Everything is a little fuzzy. I have no idea where I am. I look around and see Zoey crumbled in the corner. We are in a cell. There are bunk beds a toilet and a sink. You got to be fucking kidding I think to myself. Who the fuck would use that thing right out in the open like this. Our cell is in a room with two other cells identical to this one. Outside of the cells the room is mostly empty, just a desk and a couple of chairs. "This place really needs a decorator."  It seems we are the only prisoners today or night.

I think back and the attack slowly comes back to me. I hurry over to Zoey she has a bump on her head but she is breathing. I gently shake her. She slowly comes to. I Imagine she feels a huge fucking headache because I sure do. She looks around "Where are we?" she asks quietly. "I don't know I am guessing those hunters Eric was talking about finally caught us." I shrug. She sits up and rubs her head. "Well got any plans?" she looks at me. "Well...I was hoping you could use some bop-pity bop and get us out of here." She looks like she is thinking. "This isn't star trek I do not have the ability to transport us but maybe we could figure out how to get out of this cell." We hear knocking sounds, wait no its footsteps. It sounds like someone is coming down stairs. Now I hear voices. Zoey and I are deathly quiet. 

"Do you think the princesses are up yet?" asks a man. "I don't know those hunters ruffed them up that's for sure." responded another voice. Just hen we see two men coming round the corner. One is real tall and skinny and the other is short and stocky. They are not dressed like prison guards but are in suits. 

Short and stocky stops as he sees us. Tall and skinny sits down in the chair in back of the desk. "Why are we here? What do you want from us?" I scream out. Something about caging me in just pisses me off. Zoey grabs my arm and gives me a look. Yeah she thinks my approach is all wrong but for real what the fuck. "Why would you kidnap grown women and lock us up? Is this some kind of human trafficking or something?" tall and skinny throws back his head and laughs. "of course not" short and stocky claims.

Just then a cow appears the two men are startled. "What the hell" tall and skinny jumps up and his keys fall to the floor. I look at Zoey she is focusing on the keys, all of a sudden they fly at me and hit me in the face. "oh shit sorry" Zoey says giggling, She grabs the keys off the floor and unlocks the cell. The two men are still baffled at the cow until the cell door opens. Tall and skinny grabs at his belt as a reflex looking for his keys. Short and stocky comes at me extending his arm like he is going to usher me back in. "Now princess I think" thats as far as he gets I punch the fucker right in the face. Blood squirts everywhere, I am pretty sure I broke his nose. Tall and skinny is screaming right about now I look over and he is being attacked by his own chair. I look at Zoey and she is grinning ear to ear. "lets go" I say running for the corner where we seen the two men coming from.

I look back to make sure Zoey was behind me then run right into a man on the steps. "What in the world" says the man I am all tangled in. I feel a breeze and the man is pulled away from me before I could blink. I am suddenly staring at Eric's black eyes. "Where is Zoey, Rob?" I hear Damien ask. "I was told she was here with her sister." Rob must be the man I was tangled up with. "She was right behind me." Damien wastes no time and rushes past me down the stairs. Watch out for the cow!" I yell behind him. "A cow?" Eric asks with a smirk on his face. His eyes were still black but hints of silver were starting to show through. " Yeah Zoey has a thing for farm animals. But hey it got us out of a cage."  "A cage. I will kill them." ugh oh the silver is all gone now. "Oh so you are the only man allowed to cage me." I say teasingly. "That was different and you know it. You would have harmed yourself trying to harm me." with that he turns and calmly walks down the stairs.

I follow him around the corner and find Zoey helping the Short and stocky with his broken nose. "What the fuck Zoey, they locked us up and you are nursing him back to health! and where the fuck is the cow" I ask astonished. She looks up at me. "I sent the steak back to his pasture. This one passed out at the sight of his own blood. I am sure he would not have hurt us if he passes out from the sight of blood. I felt bad for him, you have a nasty right hook. Plus I seen Eric and knew we were OK."

"Well thank you princess. I am fine now." Short and stocky looks up sheepishly. "Shane , Shawn why were the princesses locked up in the cells. Were you not told to take them to their rooms?" Rob asks rather haughtily.

Zoey and I share a look. "Princesses? I think you are confused? Zoey and I aren't even sisters." I say. "About that. I think we really need to talk." Damien blurts out. I just look at Eric with eyes hard as steel. "talk about what? Does this have to do with your king?" I ask feeling betrayed. Obviously he shared something with Damien ,someone he doesn't even like, before me. What the fuck.

Eric puts his hands out in front of him "oh no do not be upset with me. I told you that Zoey was your sister, you were in denial. I gave you every hint I possibly could. The point is mote now. Yes you and Zoe are sisters and princesses." I am speechless after Erics confession.

"Who is your King Eric?" Zoey yells out. "Who is he to us and why are we here?" 

Rob clears his throat "Princesses on behalf of this court I deeply apologize about your treatment the Queen ordered you to be found and brought to her here. Unharmed and as guests." He says the last with a tint of anger directed towards Shane and Shawn our watchers. "I would like to show you to your quarters so you can freshen up before meeting with the queen and she will explain your situation.

"I do not want to freshen up? I want our fucking questions answered asshole!" I demand. Zoey puts her arm on my shoulder. "I am sorry for her rudeness but we have been through an ordeal here. I think it would be good for us to compose ourselves before meeting the queen. Could we please stay together though?" Zoey asks very innocently. Rob smiles at Zoey and nods "That is an easy to fulfill request. Follow me and I will show you to your rooms."
