Seduced by the king into submission

Chapter .V.

There was no escape possible now, I was cornered the only way out crumbled beneath my feet an hour ago.

How I was able to bear his child was beyond my comprehension but driven by despair and anger a plan quickly hatched in this thick head of mine.

If I couldn't run from all of this, I was going to take full advantage of the situation I was in..

I am fully aware that I don't have a large panel of action because of the many lives at stake but adding one more condition to the deal was more than needed and I was going to take the risk..
It was worth it.

Tired of all the crying I did after the little speech I was given, I felt my eyelids become heavy with sleep but I fought the need to sleep.

Not that I lasted long, I was too tired and my body did what it needed to do, shut down for a bit..
                                          
                                           """""""""""""""

"Orion! Please don't leave me! " I turned to see my best friend Joshua standing I front of me his hand on my shoulder

"J.. Joshua?" I said eyes wide, tears in the corner as I went to hug my friend but he just vanished like he was never here in the first place

"Orion" his voice said behind me. Flinching I looked in his direction my heart now in a beating frenzy in my chest.

"H.. How? " I managed to say my palms now becoming sweety and my body immobile like it was pinned there.

"Orion don't leave me alone" he said stepping towards me with blood now coating his blue shirt and gushing out of his mouth

"I won't! " I almost yelled

"You bet I won't be loosing you a second time! " I said determination in my voice, fist clenched and his lips twitched into a faint smile before quickly vanishing.

" I know" he wishpered his hand landing on shoulder once again but this time it was bloody and I almost flinched by the sudden act.

"You're bleeding, let's get you to the hospital"
He chuckled finally gratifying me with a smile that showed his perfected aligned bloody tooth.

"I miss you Orion, help m-" he didn't finish his sentence as he was cut off by a man now standing by the I didn't even notice before.

His face was blurred but his chilling grin was perfectly visible and getting close to us I noticed something was swinging in his right hand.

He started whistling giving me goosebumps, my friend tense and his expression was now filled with horror, he didn't turn to see who was coming toward us. I had the feeling he knew who he was.

"W.. Who is he? " I asked taking small steps backward

He was getting close, and we needed to get away from him.
The man smelt blood and everything in him just screamed dangerous.

Looking up at my friend, tears were streaming down his cheeks disappearing in the bloody mess around his mouth. He was scared, and sad? And I had my guess to who was causing all of this.

"J! We need to leave now! " I firmly yelled, the man was dangerously getting close.

"Orion please look at me" my friend begged, and I did as h told me

"You have to stop all of this, you have to help me" help him? I mean how, wait! Is this even reality I finally asked myself glancing at the room we were in..
It was a big white room with only a chandelier hanging on the ceiling.
There was no window and the only light was from the chandelier.
Looking back at my friend with so many question in me, I knew I didn't have time to ask him all of them so I started with the most important one in our actual situation

"How? "

"You have to find-"  I flinched away from my friend my hand covering my mouth preventing me from screaming.
Horror filling me seeing what the man had swinging in his hand.
A large kitchen life now lodged in my friend stomach.

Anger started filling me and I just charged intending to beat some sense into the murder.
Because I now knew it was him who caused my best friend death.

But before I could get close, they started vanishing in front of me, leaving me no time to get the man away from my friend.
I could only read the word my friend mouthed without a sound.

'Him'.

                          """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

My eyes flew open, my heart beating fast as I frantically scanned the environment I was in.

I was still in the car, the Prince sitting in front of me eyes closed.

It was just a dream I thought to myself, wiping away beads of sweat pearling my forehead with my sleeve.
I leaned back trying to regulate my breathing and calm my heart down.

'J... '
Questions of his death started rooming in my head..

My parents told me it was an accidental death but I doubt it because I overheard John and Stella J's sister.

And she told him she was sure he was murdered, there was too much blood for it to be accidental she said.

But in my sorrow, it didn't make any difference to me.
The fact was, my friend was gone and never would be back.
That all that mattered to me. I know others would have wanted to investigate, find the culprit but I was just so empty inside.. I was just a walking dead..

But now was a different story, it was as if I witnesses his murder and I wanted to find the bastard who did it.

Trust me! When I do, I'm going to kill him painfully slow cutting every piece of his shity body till he dies and I hope when he does, J would be waiting for him on the other side for revenge.
