To Dwell In Nightmares and Dreams

The Rose's Fate

She didn't answer, to surprised by his rage. Roseleta hadn't realised that he-

"You know what? Never mind, I've already decided what to do with you" Stiles growled.

He desperately tried to get a grip on his anger. Not now, leave it for later!

Stiles then realised that their surroundings where strangely cold and the air felt odd..

Roseleta seemed to be having difficulty breathing.

He realised with surprised that in his anger his magic had reacted and the ground and walls had started to frost over.

An idea about what he would do with her grow in his mind as he summoned a portal, using his own rune. Then with his levitation rune he shoved her through the portal.

Roseleta landed with a gasp of shock and slight pain.

"So, your judgement will begin"

The power in the voice made her shiver, she looked up to see Mieczyslaw but there was a huge difference between his appearance.

It made her crumple to her knees without hesitation.

He was wearing the black cloak still but it had a strange star like gleam that it hadn't had back in the human world but that's wasn't what shocked her. What shocked her was his size, he had transformed into a giant. The grand Masters true form.

He was sitting on the throne that fit his form with ease.

Roseleta had thought he'd felt incredibly powerful before but compared to that, it was nothing.

She had to wonder if he had been hiding his true power as the grand master purposely.

Then his words finally reached her. To be honest she was confused, she had assumed he was going to kill her as soon as he could.

"Judgement?"

Mieczyslaw smiled.

Roseleta decided she didn't like his smile, it was painfully clear he had something in mind for her that would probably end her up in a lot of pain or even her own death.

"I have three questions for you. You need to give me at least one correct answer to survive. If you don't you'll end up like Rocrik but to be honest it's better than being dead, isn't it?"

She stammered out "Y-yes"

He looked at her expectantly.

Roseleta added quickly, feeling a little faint at danger she was in. She had known it before but now it felt everything inside her was screaming.

She just had to give him the answers he wanted, easy right?

Easy.

Right?

"Okay, if your sure about this"

Roseleta did not miss the mocking tone. Not like you are giving me much of a choice, she thought.

"These are your questions, answer one correct and I'll let you live. Have you ever loved anyone, what was the girls name you killed and last question, on average what is a humans position in the pack?"

They all made surprising sense but Roseleta's eyes widened as she heard the last question.

Certain pieces of the puzzle slotted together in her mind.

"That's the question" She said "That's what you asked the pack before you killed them"

Of course, she could imagine their angry faces and spiteful answer, defending their pack from this intruder until their last moments.

They thought Mieczyslaw was a Druid and Druid were after all, in their eyes, only human.

He didn't answer her but he didn't have to, she saw it clearly in his eyes.

Stiles watched Roseleta think about her options, he tried not to let it show how much he was enjoying this on his face.

One question he knew she couldn't answer while the other two would purposely lead her in the wrong direction.

After several minutes going past she finally answered, trying to look confident and hide her terror and pain.

She could do this!

Despite this her replies came out in a nervous rush.

"I have loved someone, I-I don't know the name of the girl I killed a-and a human is a member of the pack, like werewolves, they are accepted like family"

Stiles eyes lit up with a nasty gleam.

Excellent.

Just as he had expected.

He was looking forward to this... so much.

Did that make him a bad person?

He leaned forward slightly in his throne.

His eyes glinted in anticipation and menace.

"Those are the wrong answers"

She didn't even get time to scream.
