Electric Chapter 3

As they dragged me down the hall to the assembly hall that they convert in to a courtroom for occasions like this, there were classes in session and everyone was pressed up against the window, trying to get a glimpse of the reclusive traitor.

The door was opened from the inside, there were hundreds if people here. I wouldn't be surprised if the king and his family were here for my trial. I do hope that the king isn't here as he really doesn't like me and he has the final decision on my case. Weather he likes me or not could be the difference between life and death. At the end of this trial I could be sentenced to death and I don't regret what I did because I save many lives and they didn't even know it.

There was one chair and desk in the middle with noting around it. There were chains attached to the floor. There was some blank paper and a pen on the desk and nothing else. I'm assuming that this is where I will be sitting because there is no one else within 20 feet of the desk.

I was dragged up to the desk and my chains were attached to the one on the floor then the men dragging me went to Sardinia in the corner of the room in the case that I might try and break out.

The king was sitting on his throne on am small platform off to the corner and what surprised me the most was that the Queen was there and so was the Prince. There was an empty chair next and I was glad that the Princess wasn't here.

There was a desk with the lawyer I assume that was going to be questioning me and trying to convince the audience that I was the horrid person they all think I am when all I was doing was trying to protect the person I love with all my heart.

The people were quietened wheat he king stood up and asked for silence. I say and waited for the judge and the jury to enter and take tier seats. I kept an expression of indifference on face so no one really knew what I am truly feeling inside. What surprised me next was that they brought over a healer to check on me. A healer is some one, usually an earth bender who trains specifically in healing powers.

The healer gave me a bit of a once over then then requested that I be brought back to a back room to have a full check up. He must have felt with his power that I was still badly wounded. I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure that they have fully scarred over now. I do hope that I am allowed to go back into the back room but the king said with a hard voice, 'NO!'

The healer winced but he turned back to me. He put his hand on the skin to get a positive reading on me. He flinched and drew his hand back as fast as he possibly could. staring at me incredulously he asked, 'How are you still alive?' He had tried to be quiet but with everyone in the room being as quiet as possible to hear what was said, the sound travelled across the room.

I replied 'Practice,' with a sad shake of my head and a sad smile, 'lots of practice.'

He got down to his knees and looked a my shoes and the asked if he could take them off and roll up my pants to my knees. I hesitated but nodded eventually. Realising that I didn't know his name I asked him as he was untying my shoelaces, 'What's your name?'

'Roudy is what they call me.'

I just nodded.

When he finally had my shoes and socks off he started to roll up my pants he winced that the scars that were on my legs. 'How on earth did you get scars like this?' he asked me.

'Bear traps mainly.' I replied with a monotone, no emotion in my voice.

Roust opened his mouth as if to say something the closed it when he changed his mind.
