The New King (Sequel to The Prince Behind the Veil)

Chapter 5: What We Do for Love

Thomas let out a grunt, and sank down in the black

leather chair, the leather now soaked with his blood.

"Tell me where Violet is! I know you you one of those magic globes!" Edward shouted at Thomas, holding his hand up in warning. It glowed with green magic....the green magic that had been acting as knives, needles, and torture weapon that could hurt Thomas.

"I don't know, for the last time! You took me away

from her, remember?" Thomas said, blood dripping down his face, making stains on the chair. His head was placed in a metal headrest, his arms and legs strapped to the chair.

Edward lowered his hand. "Tell me, hero. What did King Hatchett intend on doing to me after my imprisonment?"

"Put you to death, that's what, you villain!" Thomas snarled back.

Edward put his hand in front of Thomas' face, and squeezed his palm together. Thomas gave a scream as more blood fell from his face. This time, the pain felt like a knife stabbing his skin.

"A villain," Edward said. "Is just a victim whose story hasn't been told,"

"Oh, yes. You're the victim. I'm not the one sitting in this chair be tortured until I bleed from every pore!" Thomas shouted as loud as he could, although it came out hoarsely.

"You are forgetting my side of the story, Thomas," Edward started walking around the chair. "You took Violet from me. You married her. And, you are too weak to even save yourself from me!" Edward glared at Thomas. "You're the one who got yourself into this mess!"

"I did not!" Thomas shouted, trying to break the restraints. "It's your fault for even making a deal with King Provost in the first place!"

"You could have fought your father, and not of gotten taken to Britania!"

"I hardly knew any magic than! How could I have defeated a magic sorcerer such as Provost?"

Edward looked Thomas straight in the eye, and raised his hand, smiling. "One last round," he hissed in Thomas' ear. "Hope you like it!"

Thomas' scream rang out through the Palace Violet, before he fell unconscious, and Edward left the room.
