The White Rose Killer

Chapter 30

It was like the room stood still for a moment. Marcus and my uncle was staring each other down.

"Hello Michael, my old friend when did you wake up?" Marcus asked.

"We are no longer friends Marcus and it's Prince Michael to you. But to answer your question I woke up recently." He said.

"I went to the hospital to see you but they told me you transferred to another hospital." Marcus said.

"Did you leave me flowers for when I came back." Uncle Michael said.

"I was going to leave you white roses after I killed you." He said.

"All this time I thought we were friends but instead I find out you killed my brother over an obsession, killed Nina because she didn't love you, almost killed my father because you wanted to be king." Uncle Michael said.

"Oh don't forget I killed Adeline Amador because her precious Lionel didn't let me date Nina." Marcus said.

"You are delusional if you ever had a sense in your mind that made you think Nina was ever interested in you." Uncle Michael said.

"In due time she would have been but your brother stalked her until she cave. There was no way she loved him." Marcus said.

"She did love him truthfully because without their love that girl you are holding a knife to wouldn't be here." Uncle Michael said.

"She won't be here for long trust me." Marcus said.

"Kill me and your papers will never get signed." I said. He held the knife tighter in his hand.

"Any more tighter the knife will cut through. Trust me you wouldn't want that. The blade is made out of real silver." He said. What! Real silver. That's what's going on with aunt Ella now. She has silver in her bloodstream and she's fighting to stay alive.

"Let her go Marcus this is between you and me." Uncle Michael said.

"Wrong it's between me and all of the Blackwoods. You've been in power for way too long and it's time for a new ruler." Marcus said.

"I don't see the town complaining about us." Uncle Michael said.

"That's because they are too afraid to voice their opinion." Marcus said.

"Now I know you're not making any sense. Why do you think my father and the council hold meetings. It's where everyone in town can voice their opinion and get it rectified. If they had any concerns they'll voice their opinion. There is no one in Deadwood that wouldn't voice their opinion. We have strong minded people that live in Deadwood. They certainly don't need you to voice their concerns. They love us. However they will not love you." Uncle said.

"In due time they will." Marcus said.

"Actually they wouldn't, you see for the past two days the news has been broadcasting your discretions on television throughout Deadwood and Wolf Crestlake. Before we left we made sure that your conversations between the princess and yourself was broadcast for everyone to hear. That's right love bug your friends were able to figure that part out." Uncle said. I couldn't see Marcus face but by the look on my uncle's face he was happy.

"When you said we, who's we." Marcus said at the moment something crashed into the window. The figure stood up.

"Long time no see bastard. How long has it been, fifteen, twenty." My grandfather said.

"Grandpa you're truly out." I said with a smile on my face.

"Hey babygirl we came to rescue you." He said.
