Beware Of The Wolf You Feed.

~Chapter 2~

Before:

~Kiroda Vanarra.~

Her mind was anything but settled as the carriage reached the house she once called home. She felt the movement of the two driver climb off. One opened the door as the other stood tall ready to help them down. As Queen Raven slid out gracefully, Kiroda fear spiked. "Put your head down and look pathetic before I give you an example..." The dark voice spoke dangerously. She quickly whiped her head down as her hands gripped her dress.

"My Queen, I can't believe my eyes, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He dropped his worned down briefcase, shocked. "Kiroda?" Instantly Kiroda coward behind Raven so he could not see her. Raven nodded to two guards. The first one barged into his house. The other quickly brung his wand up to Alfreds face, mumbled some incoherent words that prevented him from speaking, then moved the wand down to his wrists, binding them in rope. The first guard appeared after awhile in the doorway then quickly proceeded until he was infront of Alfred. "Alfred Hornsby Smitt, you have commited treason under your Queen by lying to the council about Kiroda Vanarra being a low witch, providing her with horrible living conditions and gathering illegal ingredients that could kill a witch, and therefor shall be put to death."

Kiroda eyes widened. "Don't act so surprised, we both knew he was going to die." The dark voice chuckled in her mind. "No no no, he was just suppose to be punished this is out of the plan" Kiroda unconsciously clentched onto Ravens dress harder getting her attention. She had the guards tie him to the back of the carriage where he would be for all to see and take the walk of shame around Niravitch. Then she turned around taking Kirodas hands in hers, "I know you don't understand this now, but you will when you're older. He is a very bad man Kiroda and very bad people must be punished so all can see and not do bad in fear of the consequences." She spoke soft, as if Kiroda would break. Then helped her into the carriage and they proceeded to the towns square.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A croud of people formed around the middle of the towns square where Mr Alfred was tied to a tall, thick, wooden stake that was by no means smooth and with every move scraped his back and wrists . His eyes flickering wildly to every hateful face in the crowd around him, pleading that someone would want to hear him out. Queen Raven standed tall to the left with Kiroda by her side while the Council standed to right. As the last log of wood was placed under Alfred, Raven raised her hand slowely, silencing the crowd.

"Alfred Hornsby Smitt has been sentenced to death this night. He has commited broken laws which consisted of lying to the council about this little girl here Kiroda Vanarra being a low witch to the council and keeping her in horrible conditions. She was left without food, no bed, and no clothes besides these rags." A guard held up the torn shirt. " Not only has he treated her bad but he has been gathering information of formulas which are used to kill witches. This includes banned ingredients such as MoonThorn  Bleeding Veratrum, and shaldale. Let him be an example we have not had in years so this may never happen again." As Raven went on Kiroda focused her attention to Mr Alfred whose attention was on Raven, looking absolutely horrified with every conviction she made upon him.

"Focus harder on him Kiroda." She listened
And soon began to hear a voice that was not hers nor the dark voice. Kirodas eyes widened a bkt in realization that it was Mr Alfreds thoughts. "PLEASE! I finally found her! The witch that killed my wife...my everything.
" His head slump down as tears began to appear in his eyes which soon turn to frustrated tears. "I did not lie to anyone either! She beared the mark, the council is the one to blame for issueing me her! It was there mistake! Oh my.. that little child must have set me up... No, she couldn't have. She would never do such a thing. Such a sweet, innocent, young..." Mr Alfred slowely lifted his head, eyes drifting directly to Kiroda eyes, fear immediately taking place in them. "She found him.." His eyes darted to Raven as he began to struggle with all his might. His mouth trying to speak with no words to come out. Raven had seen him out of her eye as she started to end her speech. "And with no more delay we shall proceed with why we are here.  David. "The guard named David nodded to two others and they lit their torches and proceeded towards Mr Alfred.

Alfred focused on Raven his eyes pleading for her to let him speak, his eyes then flicked to Kiroda and back as he tried mouthing his words. "The Queens going to let him speak, kill him before your chance is ruined." The dark voice demanded. Kirodas hands clenched the sides of her dress, she glimpsed at Raven seeing her eyebrows scrunched slightly and about to say something. "NOW!" Kiroda quickly looked back at Mr Alfred, everything going into slow motion. Before Raven could tell the guard to stop, a stray tear fell as Kiroda moved her finger and made David trip leading to the two others to do so as well and the torches just touched the wood. It quickly spread under Mr Alfred. His only focus was now on his life that was sure to come to an end soon. Queen Raven quickly covered Kirodas eyes where silent tears fell from. All that was being heard was the crowd yelling their approval, the roaring of the huge flame, but above all, Mr Alfred horrifying screams of agony which will appear in her nightmares for years to come.
