Our Legacy (Eddsworld ~Cinderella AU~ Sequel)

Chapter 11

Tom and Tord sat in their respected cells, both of them waiting for any kind of sign. They didn't exactly know what kind of sign they wanted, but it was worth a try. Escape? Possibly. Hope? Definitely. Their daughter? Not here, but she was the only one they wished to see more than anything. They sat in silence, there for each other and never being able to speak without almost breaking down. They barely got any food or water, their strength felt like it was being eaten away. They watched as someone was taken away again, although they look so pathetic that couldn't stand on their own. Tom looked away, tears welling up in his eyes and Tord watched the weak man struggle in Damian's grip. This happened for weeks on end, where some unlucky soul would be exiled or tortured for unknown reasons. Damian didn't make the situation any better. He would flirt and hassle other prisoners, but only when guards weren't looking. Tord looked over to Thomas, he wanted to say something but couldn't find the words to do so. Instead, they waited. And waited. And waited. Nothing, but silence.
Plip, Plip, plip.
Until there was a sound, dripping water, and then a knock, but not just any knock, a patterned on. There were 3 echoing knocks, a pause, and then 2 very fast ones. The shadowed man in the man had knocked back. Thomas sat up in his cell, questioning if that man had known something. Suddenly Thomas saw the wall start to crack and swift, there was a thundering bang from outside every time it did so. Tord backed farther away from that man's cell, as far as he could at least. There a thundering crash, dust filled up the end of the cells, blindinging everyone from seeing what was happening. Tom and Tord couldn't see, but they felt a hand over their mouths and someone take them out of their cells by force. They struggled against the gripping hangs on their forearms, Tord bit the man's hand and started to yell. It came to the last straw where someone knocked him out on the side of his head. Tom couldn't fight anymore, he was too weak from the lack of food and water; he had no idea what was even happening around him. Soon enough, Thomas had blacked out all the same.

Tom opened his eyes, blinking once and then twice. He caught rays of yellow lighting and smooth stone walls. He stretched and felt his hands, realizations hit him and he soon bent down to feel his ankles. No chains, he wasn't even tied up with rope. He was a prisoner that was taken prisoner by someone else, and yet no one had thought of tying him up. Tom look around the room, finding a table in front of him and on the other side, "Tord!" His husband was currently knocked out and sitting peacefully in the chair across the dark oak table they sat at. Tom walked around the table to his loved one, looking for any new or painful wounds. Tord began to stir once Thomas' cold hand touched his face, his eyes slowly rose open from his deep sleep; Tord leaned into the touch and smiled. He stared into Thomas' eyes, thinking it was all a dream and he had just fallen asleep on hus desk again. He could finally touch Tom, and he was finally free. "Thomas!!" Tord had yelled, attacking the man with a bear hug and several kisses to his face. Tom giggled as Tord squished him full of love, they spun in circles as Tord lifted Tom into the air. They were honestly happy to hold each other again. Then Tord heard something and immediately stopped, both the kings turned their heads to the wooden doors of the room that they hadn't noticed before. Footsteps, and they were coming fast; it was as if someone was in a hurry. Tord figured out that his wishes of it all being a dream were crushed. Soon more footsteps echoed behind the door, each more distant than the other as if they were chasing someone or something. Either way, they were closing in fast. Tom jump out of Tord's arms and spread his legs apart, holding his ground; Tord had done the same. They shifted into fighting stances, but they weren't prepared for what happened next...
