Chapter 56: Queen's Loyalty

Claudia

"Police! Keep your hands where I can see them!"

"Bullet go!" I screamed at him, knowing that he already had Hera with him.

With a scared Hera in his arms, Bullet stormed out of the room towards the back door and me and Charles stayed behind to stop the police from keeping us here.

I didn't have a gun, Charles already had his out, and I wasn't going to go to jail yet. I still had a plan.

"Stop Bullet!" Hera screamed, and I noticed Bullet freeze and then he fell onto his knees. Blood was everywhere. On Hera's hands, on Bullet's grey shirt and dropping on the floor. I looked at the source of the blood and saw that in his neck was a hair pin jammed deep into his flesh.

"No!" I screamed out in terror, knowing fully well that this was not how it was supposed to happen. I tried to run to Bullet's body, but the police already had me in their grip and held my hands tightly behind me. They did the same to Charles.

One minute I was at peace, the next everything fell apart. Hera looked terrified at what she had done, she was hysterical and completely out of control, but all that mattered to me in that moment was Bullet. He was losing a lot of blood.

"Fuck off of me and save him, piece of shit!" Charles screamed out at the officer who held him back from Bullet. The officer was struggling so much that two more men had to come and assist. Charles fought back powerfully and almost got out of their grips, but they held him back and kept him from escaping their grasp.

Hera looked up at me and her whole expression changed, she held back her tears and swallowed down a huge gulp. I couldn't find it in me to be angry at her, but once the thought of Blade crossed my mind, I knew that Bullet wasn't the only one who was going to be shedding blood.

Bullet didn't kidnap Hera, she demanded him to bring her here. Hera had now tried to kill him, just because he was saving her. Why was she acting like this? She didn't want anyone to save her from any danger, but she couldn't handle any of it. Bullet was helping me when he set those papers, they stated that Charles got everything and once he died, it was all mine. He knew that I had come to kill him.

"Ma'am..." The officer who held me back said to me. I didn't understand why he was holding my hands behind me, I wasn't fighting back, "... we need to get moving now. You need to come with us."

"Let me go." I said calmly.

"I'm afraid I can't do that..."

"... I am not your peer who you will treat like a criminal. I'm Queen Claudia King and I could get you arrested for assault if you don't fucking let me go. And if I find bruises on my wrists from your grip, trust me officer, you'll be sharing a cell with a fugitive you sent to jail for life."

The officer immediately let me go and I looked at him angrily, "Good boy." I said with superiority.

One of the officers walked to Hera and tried to get her up, "Ma'am, please get up."

"She's fucking disabled, Einstein, she can't walk. You have to pick her up, in your lanky arms, and carry her. You know to do that, don't you?" I said, illustrating the action.

The man looked at me angrily and I just rolled my eyes and walked away. Before, I'd personally carry Hera in my arms, but now I just wanted to calm down. She tried to betray me, that was unforgivable, but this was Hera. My angel.

Riding in my car was me, two officers and Hera. Charles was being treated like a criminal and Bullet was on his way to the hospital. We arrived at the station and there, I faced a very satisfied looking Brent Jens.
