The Fallen | Risen Book II

Chapter Fifty Five

Fight Or Die
Ace Baillieu 

I sat in my room, it was a concrete room with one single bared window. It was really more like a prison cell, I had a fairly comfortable bed, a toilet and three warm meals a day, so it could be worse.

I sat down next to my wooden carvings of those I once knew, I think I was slowly losing my mind, since when I picked up the carving that represented Jayce the room changed. 

I sat in the church, away from this crazy afterlife world thing that I was apparently in now. I sat in a golden throne that was for some reason in the church, and I wore a large crown on top of my head.

I had Charity and Cassi nearby, both wearing only the slimiest of bikinis fanning me with a large leaf that they found. Jayce walked through the door, dressed in a jester outfit.

"Hello my awesome King who I am totally following out of the goodness of my heart, today I bring you entertainment!" Jester Jayce spoke opening his arms wide and suddenly Jeff and Dante came walking through the door. Dante was continuously doing the worm on the floor as Jeff played a lovely song on a guitar and began to sing.

"Ace, he uh, has a beautiful face, and we love him more then Jayce, Cause, he has a ugly face, ya!" Jeff spoke strumming down on the strings of the guitar, and looking up to me for approval. Dante stopped dancing and stood up.

"And I'm Dumb" Dante spoke having a thumbs up with a buck tooth grin.  

I shook my head.

"Is this the best you have?" I asked standing to my feet furiously as Jayce panicked.

"No sir, we have more, we have um...Ryder! yes Ryder!" Jayce shouted as Ryder came into the room holding a whip.

Ryder walked closer and threw me the whip wearing a wide grin across his face.

"Please hurt me, I am a stupid idiot who doesn't deserve life. Since you are the handsomest and bravest  in the land you deserve the honor of killing me my lord!" I held the whip in my hand, swung it back, prepared to swing.

Before I swung however Ryder was shot from across the room. I turned to look at whoever dared kill Ryder that wasn't me.

The attacker holstered his smoking pistol. He had a half burned face and was quite ugly.

"What?" He said "the Handsomest and Bravest in the land got to kill him" The man spoke.

"Who are you?" I demanded.

he rolled his eyes and smiled. "I'm the Handsomest and Bravest in the land, duh" The man spoke as he suddenly disappeared. I turned back to Jester Jayce and demanded more entertainment.

"What else do you have!" I spoke sitting back down and slamming my fist angrily on the thrones arm rest.

Cassi and Charity started fanning faster, since I was angry.

"Um...Well we were gonna have that tuxedo guy, but you couldn't remember his name" Jester Jayce spoke as he flipped through papers on a clipboard

"True, he was so flashy" I mumbled.

"Yes, we would've had Maya do a strip show like in your fantasy's but she's pregnant so it's kinda messed up."

I nodded "I guess your right"

"And we would've had Kiera in here, but you didn't want her here for some reason" Jester Jayce asked.

I slammed my fist down on the arm rest once again. 

"This is my world goddammit! I don't want Kiera here, she'll just ruin it!" I shouted.

Suddenly something grabbed my shoulder, making me jump and come back to reality.
