Down With The Bloody Big Head

Chapter 12

"What do you mean Time's gone?" Tyvia asked.

"As in the dying man, the personification of time himself, is not here!" Hetty shouted.

"That's not possible, nobody went in or out of the room, that door is the only entrance," her father said. And went to check for himself, when he came back, he looked confused and just muttered to himself.

Meanwhile in the Outlands.

Time groaned in agony. He was awake and soon realised that he was being watched.

"Finally, you're awake. I thought I had lost my only current leverage over the queen," Felmont sounded uninterested but the pleased look on his face gave away the game. "Unfortunately, the locals don't have strong enough magic to kill your kind. Pity really, for you anyways because this will be much more painful.

"My kind?" Was all Time reply.

"The legendary figures kind," Felmont said, as if it was obvious. "I suppose your wondering how you got here," when he got no response, he continued with "just works with valuable items and if you are intending to cure an illness you caused."

"Lucky me," Time mumbled sarcastically.

"Yes but not lucky Iracebeth," was the cruel answer to his sarcasm.

Time forgetting his weakened state for a moment, shot jump from his regal looking bed, only noticing the shackles that connected him and the bed, and ignoring the headache the sudden movement earned him, he growled, "what have you done to her, I swear if you have hurt her-"
But he didn't get to finish his threat as Felmont cut him off by saying, "it's not what I've done, it's what you've done, or has that clock healed itself and you've forgotten the chain events the brought you the my beautiful new home, which despite your rudeness, I've given you a suite in."

"You mean made me a prisoner in, and Iracebeth's injury only happened because of your curse."

"The shackles were only to make sure you didn't try to kill me instantly, you'll lose them once your out of bed, we'll again."

"You mean once you have finished a protection spell?" Time snarled.

"If you have to put it that way, yes."Felmont sounded as though he'd grown tired of the conversation.

"Don't bother on my account, I can only end your life by closing your watch without my being at the castle to do so, there can be no deaths."

"And that's why I need to remain here until I have Mirana and Iracebeth." The after a moment his eyes lit up, "that means that the March Hare isn't dead!" The last remaining Stayne got excited.

"Not quite, the poor creature is stuck between two world, in so much pain. Not as though you care anyway, you only want to bring death."

"No the Hare's death is regrettable. I only desire the deaths of the queen's. Everyone else who deaths is unfortunate and a waste of a life."

It was only then that Time was truly horrified and disgusted, the monster only wanted his true love and her sister dead and thought of the valiant as a waste.

Sorry I haven't updated in so long, but I did very well in my exams and I hope anyone else doing their state exams done well too.
