King's Fall

Kaecilius

            -Stephen Strange POV-

After I visit Christine in the hospital, I decide that is time to come back to the castle. I already told her that I have more than enough money, so she could just stay at home instead of work, but she always say about how she love to help people and it's almost impossible to change her mind.

I get in my fancy car and put some music, so I can distract myself and don't think about how everything is stressing me lately.

Passed some hours until I can see the the castle, I look to the facial recognition system and the gates open. The security guard see me and open the huge door, I don't really talk with them, because they are just here to work.

The first thing that I look in the place is the long red carpet, have paintings on the wall about warriors and modern art. I look to the pictures of me and Christine, we look really happy, but I feel like something is missing in our relationship.

"Do you need something, Stephen?". I move my head to where the voice is and I see Wong, my assistant and friend.

"Not really, why the castle almost don't have anyone?". I ask curious.

"The servants came back to their houses to sleep, they are humans too, Stephen". Wong answer in a sarcastic way.

"Yes, sure". I say smiling.

"Where is Christine?". Wong ask me curious

"Still working, probably she will come back late today". I answer while looking to the clock

When me and Wong stop talking, I go up the stairs to the second floor  where the piano is, it's been a while that I don't play it and now that everybody is gone is the perfect time to do it.

                 -Time skip-

While I was playing the piano I hear some footsteps, but soon they stop making me feel suspicious.

"Wong?". I say loud so he could hear me, but he didn't answer back.

I wait some minutes to see if he would appear, but nothing happened. I turn around again, trying to focus in the music again.

"Here we are again, good to see you, king strange". I don't even need to look behind me to know that is Kaecilius talking.

I get up slowly in case he attack me. Kaecilius tried to steal my throne once, so him and his crazy group could reign everything, but of course I didn't let that happen.

"What you are doing here?". I ask him

"You have something that I want, give me the Book of Cagliostro's and I will leave". He demand

"What make you think that I will give it to you?". I say sarcastically

Kaecilius smile and run close to me, suffocating me with his hands. I hold his arm and twist it, making him scream of pain. I push his body away from me.

He fall in the ground giving me a chance to hit his face a lot of times. Suddenly he take a knife out of one of your pockets and stab my hand, now I start to feel desperate. I thought he would attack me more, but he just run away. I look to my hands bleeding and I faint.
