The Dragon Rider Vol. 2 Kingdoms Fall (COMPLETED)

Eight

"Is it done then?" Mumbled the King.

Sitting in the throne room on his black metal throne carved like a dragon, King Toban gazed out at the hundreds of Rogues before him. All of them were down on one knee, their heads bowed in respect to their king.

Standing in front of him was Anna. She wore a floor length black dress, her blond hair pulled back behind her shoulders. Lowering her head in respect, she nodded. "Yes, My King."

Smiling, Toban spoke, "Very good." Standing from his throne, he moved towards her.

Her eyes darted around the room, anywhere but his face. Toban noticed this, causing his lips to twitch. Standing behind her, Toban ran his hand along her bare collar bones. Humming under his breath, he moved his head near her neck, his other hand fisting her hair. With a harsh tug, he pulled her head to the side.

Groaning from the sudden action, Anna's breathe quickened. She would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid. The man before her held so much power, and with a wrong move of his wrist her life would end. Gritting her teeth, she hissed through her parted lips. "I've done everything you told me to do."

Chuckling to himself, Toban's grip tightened on her hair. "I asked you to bring me the girl." He said. Pulling on her hair, he continued. "Instead, Markus stabbed her with a poisoned sword."

"That wasn't my-." Groaning at the harsh tug to her hair, she stopped.

"I told you to bring me Abagail unharmed. Instead, she nearly died." Pushing her to the side, Anna fell to the ground with a loud thud. A small whimper left her lips as she tried to stand to her feet. Moving closer towards her, Toban glared down at her. "I'm giving you one chance, Anna." Clenching his fists, Toban turned back towards his throne. "Disappoint me, and I will cut your head off and display it to the world."

Nodding, Anna bowed. "Yes, my King." With one finale glance his way, Anna picked the front of her dress up slightly before leaving the room. She couldn't stand to be near the Rogues, they caused her skin to crawl in disgust. Once the double doors to the throne room closed, a sigh she hadn't noticed she was holding released from her chest.

Clenching her jaw, Anna closed her eyes. Her mind was spinning with different things, but her want to kill stood out amongst the rest. Since Abagail arrived, she had gotten in her way of ruling either side of the twelve Apostles. The only way for her to rule, was to kill.

Smirking, Anna made her way towards an owl. "Take a message to my dearest friend, won't you?"
