Princess of AMBER

Chapter 11

Hey! This chapter is a bit shorter than usually. Sorry! :)

I want to make one thing clear to everybody, before story progresses to a new set of events. Bryce in this story is a VILLAIN. He was intended to be that way from the very beginning of his existence. I am very sorry, if you feel disappointed about his character. But that is a way he is and will be. He is going through lots of struggle, which makes him do 'evil' things. I still hope you will continue liking him. If not as a normal person, than as a villain instead. ;)

SBany!

„It is none of your business." I growl at William, still holding on his collar. „Where is she?"

From what I heard, she is not staying in her usual place. He have taken her somewhere else, but where?

His first nervous wavering was nearly gone, taking back his furious appearance.

„I will not tell you, Bryce! She is in a safe place and you will not get to her!"

„Tell me!" I shook him hard. „I will not hurt you and her, if you will tell me her location. I promise!" The emotions were brewing inside of me once again. My frustration dared to build up into anger, but William did not attempt to tell me anything, as I saw a strong determination in his eyes.

„And what will you do, if I keep my mouth shut? I have told you before,Bryce. I am not afraid of you and your threats mean nothing to me. If my fate is to die by your hands, than shall it be that way."

Is he serious? Does he not care about his life? Is he going to give it up so easily? And what about Kyra? Does he even care, what happens to her, if he leaves this world?

„If you care about her, just a little, you will not harm me. I know it Bryce, you do think of her dearly. So why are you making this so violent? Brute force will not help anyone, it is not a solution. We can talk, without a need to strangle me." He took a deep breath and casually tried to release my grip on him.

     William was right. I cared for Kyra too much and I would not harm her father in any way, even if I wanted to. She have a complete power over me and my actions. I slowly release my fingers from his shirt and lay my back against the driver's seat. I take a time to calm myself from the emotional storm I am having. It is so hard to snap back to reality, I feel like I have no control over it.

My sight is focused in a distant scenery, but the details of it are blurred out in my vision. My fists are clenched on fabric of my pants.

„OK. You are not going to do it, but tell me, at least, what have happened....... after I left?"

Kyra's father adjusted his white shirt and and tried to get to a normal breathing, after the pressure put on his neck.

„She is getting over it, I think. I mean, she haven't forgotten about your existence, but she is trying to not hold grudge against you about what you did to her." William looked at me through his forehead. „Kyra had to go many times to inform police about you, which have lead her to confrontations with other regular people. Somebody have spread the rumors, that she is trying to infect the robots in factories and letting them free. Like yourself. Resulting to causalities on their side. All of them are slowly getting out of control and they think, if they stop my daughter, than everything will go back to normal. .... They managed to hurt her badly...." A sadness seeped through his features after mentioning the last fact. „I cannot let her walk on streets anymore. How crazy is that?"

I could see, that William is on the verge of tears, talking about her daughter. Though, he was very good at keeping his emotions from getting loose. Appearance meant everything.

The facts angered me and these stupid people too.

„What happened to her exactly? How bad is she hurt?" I felt really hurt of hearing, that she is suffering.

„.... Kyra got shot, by a... by a gun used to immobilize  robots. She almost died by her injuries on her body. .... I don't know what to do now. For everything I have always had a solution, but now I am clueless."

     I felt severe pain going through my body, hurt and anger. She have been just so close to dying, and I would have never seen her again. I have to go and be beside my owner. She needs my protection now more than ever. I need to protect her from people in Amber. But how, if this man is not willing to tell me, where she is.

„I need to see her! I need to be next to her!" I attempted to ask again.

„No! She have suffered enough, even from you. She needs some time alone – alone to heal herself and have some peace from everyone else."

I was pissed off. My hands start to shake, as I am trying desperately to hold in my rage.

I want to protect her with my life. I am ready to do anything, for her to have a peaceful life. I close in on William, my eyes staring deep in to his own. And then my hand comes up and I punch him hard in his face. Old man's hand comes straight to hold his nose, as he is grunting in pain. His nose starts to bleed immediately, a dark stream of blood comes down to his lips.

„Then someone else will have to suffer. Until I get to her, I will not stop."

Taking a last look at the man, I swiftly exit the car and disappear from a sight.
