The raise of the Fearless queen

Castle of the darkness part_2

Abigail swallowed. She thought that it was the end nothing would help her escape. But she had to fight " nothing at all" she said as she tried to hide her shaking voice " you gave me the sword and you were the one who told me to use it. If you are going to kill me, I'm not coming with you!" Leon looked at Marcos face trying to read what was he thinking about, but he just laughed " who said that you will be in trouble for killing them. Who gives a damn about their life,perverted cannibals! I should thank you but at the same time you killed my slaves. they worked in castle that and did everything. I won't kill you, cause you will die of your own stupidity. I hope you are ready to work here all alone" he gave her a last smile and headed to the door " aren't you coming,Leon?" Leon got his head out of his thoughts and hurried to Marco.' Who are this cruel, crazy people anyway' she thought to herself, In the dark with the corpses of men that just tried to kill her and a lord that doesn't care about anyone in the castle, it was too much. As she cried she said things that she couldn't say out loud. Her eyes got used to the dark. She wasn't a regular human, so it was easy for her to see in the dark. A little sparkle and the blue light went all over her body, but only her eye color changed. As she looked around it was like day. Darkness faded away and everything got visible along with the corpses. She looked at a crazy man with disgust in her eyes. After a Little walk she found a table. There was a list of chores she had to do for one week.'Jackpot' she thought. Didn't even have a clue how hard it would be. Next day the sun was shining brightly. Early in the morning she started working. Cleaning windows, caring heavy carpets, washing and cleaning and it wasn't even afternoon yet. It was really hard for her. She didn't even have a break . Three days passed and Marco called her in his room. " sort this books in order " he said. Abigail had lost her color. She was pale and weak, couldn't even open her eyes without struggle. She got up on her toes and tried to reach the books. Seemed like she had overworked. She passed out and started falling . Leon tried to catch her but Marco was faster. He was holding her and protecting her from the falling books " call the doctor" he shouted at Leon. Few moments passed and Abigail was already in her "bed" with the doctor looking after her. Marco was drinking coffee when the door slammed open " D-doctor s-said it's nothing serious yet but he also said that if she keeps working like that she might die" Marco didn't even look at Leon. Still looking through the window " how is she now? Does she have a temperature,fever?" He asked. " yes she does have a temperature, she will not be able to work for a little while " Marcos gaze was frozen at the window, he didn't even look through it " maybe I should change" he murmured under his breath " what did you say milord?" " I said that we have to think what she can do, or else why would I let an useless girl stay in my castle" he never joked about death.maybe the reason for his cruelty was his childhood scars, who knows? Leon had to think of a plan fast. He had to think about saving Abigail, the work he had to suggest had to be not as hard as the previous one " she is a great cook,milord " Leon said " we already have lot of cooks in the castle " " yes but she is the best! I swear , guaranteed!" After a lot of begging Marco agreed to let Abigail be the cook. Nearly one week passed and she was full of energy. She entered Marcos room and set there. " now, you are our new cook isn't it great? I already have lot of cooks in castle, if I don't like your food, you are dead. Congratulations " Abigail had lost her energy right away " m-may I ask w-ho suggested me being a cook?" Leon nervously lifted his hand as a sign that he did. " show her the kitchen, and don't cook yet, I want to see how you cook it " after they left the room Abigail caught him with his collar " what the fuck where you thinking about?" Shock in his eyes. He couldn't believe that Abigail was talking " what's the prob..." " oh! There is! There is a big no huuuuge problem! I CANT FUCKING COOK!" Everyone was looking at them " I, erm didn't know that you couldn't cook? I thought every woman could do it " her eyes started shining with rage for a little time. She calmed herself down with taking deep breaths " wow! Wow! I'm dead! God why do you keep on cursing me.what am I gonna do?" Terrified she couldn't keep her tears back "I'm going to die" Leon's heart was already melting but now.he couldn't think of a way out of this situation " I'm sorry... but I won't let him kill you. I'm not going to give up" In order to calm her down he pulled her closer " you still have time..." " can I practic..." " no, they will not let you in. But maybe you will come with me in my room to calm down?" She nodded and they went in Leon's room. Few hours passed. Leon tried to lighten the atmosphere telling her stories but it was already the time. Abigail went in the kitchen and looked at Marco. He was waiting for her. His eyes were burning with interest. Quiet unusual for him. " good luck " said Leon. She went in bathroom to wash her hands. As she was washing her hands she got an idea. She carefully touched the mirror " August!" She whispered. A big figure appeared in the mirror " lady Abigail, how can I help you?" Wide grin appeared on her face " you're quite a good cook, are you not?" His eyes sparkled " best of all " " than come" the soul named August entered Abigail body, possessing every inch of her. All the recipes were on the table. Abigail started cutting onions,boiling water. She moved so confidently while cooking, it was clear that Marco was impressed.the Food was done and everyone started eating. Abigail was waiting for Marco's reaction, but he didn't have any sign to tell if he liked it or not.after one last bite he looked at Abigail " there's no way, you made this" Abigail nervously laughed it off " what makes you say that?" "For someone who screamed that they couldn't cook it's impossible to cook like that!what did you do?"
