A Princess and Her Knight (Gency)

Chapter Eight

Wind whispered into the room, curtains blowing softly in the slight wind. A cold breeze, an eery silence. The two glass door leading to the balcony was open, being the source of the wind.
The sleeping knight stirred, his eyes attempting to open. He groaned as he sat up, rubbing sleep from his eyes. Something was very wrong.
He glanced to his left after noticing that the princess's hand and head had left his chest.
Panic rose within him, the woman now gone.
Where was she? He didn't want to think that she left early to go to... Gabriel Reyes...

"Angela...!" He called out into the unknown, scrambling off of the bed.
He tried to run to the door, but before he could even get half way across the room, a shadowy smoke appeared. Reds and blacks swirled in a column, flecks of grey among the smoke.
As it began to disperse, a purplish glow appeared next to it.

Three figures appeared, but two of which were standing. On the left was a female with a half shaven head and an outfit of various purples and greys. She wore heavy amounts of eyeshadow on her dark skin. Upon her feet weren't shoes per se, but instead she seemed to have toe grips. A lot quieter and a lot better for stealthier motives. This woman was known as Sombra, Talon's most masterful infiltrator.
Beside her was a tall man, completely cloaked in black. He had a large hood that went over his head and met a whitish grey mask covered in dirt spots. It was the mask of the Reaper.
His boots were large and heavy, but they don't make a sound when he shadow-steps or wraiths his way around. His hands had talon-like accessories, adding onto his perilous aura.

The third figure... Was not standing. They lay limp in the arms of the Reaper. Messy blond hair askew, legs dangling. The Reaper held her in a sort of bridal style, his bird like talons wrapped around her arms and legs.
Her eyelids were closed, still in an unconscious state.

"A-Angela... What are you doing?!" Genji shouted, a sudden fire within him being lit. It was only last night, or perhaps even that same night, that he realized his feelings for the blue eyed princess. And now, he saw two of Talon's members with the one he loved.
He reached for his sword, for his shurikens, for whatever he could use as a weapon. But before he could do much, a smirk plastered itself onto the female talon member's face.
He hand reached out a couple inches, her fingers extended, purple light appearing from her finger tips.
Within the next couple seconds, Genji, the cyborg knight, fell to his knees.
It wasn't painful.
But the lady clearly hacked his mechanical body to shut it down.
And now... All he could was watch.
"A-Angela..."

The Reaper gave a chuckle, laughing. "And to even think this job was going to be difficult! Haha, Prince Gabriel will be pleased."

"She's prettier than I thought," Sombra giggled, "perhaps Gabe will share?"

"I don't think so." Reaper growled to his companion, his grip on the princess tightening.
"Genji Shimada, it's a shame. Your brother Hanzo would be disappointed if he saw you now..."

The knight struggled, pushing himself off the ground. "Do not- speak his name."

"....You could come join us. Join one of Reyes's smaller fighting groups, join Blackwatch." The Reaper took a step forwards, his large boot making a thump. "You might even get to see Princess Ziegler on her wedding day."

He didn't want to join, he didn't want to ever be affiliated with the darker side of the world, but he didn't want to let go of the one he only recently took ahold of.

"What's your choice, boy"

Her blue eyes fluttered open, and a bright light shone in them. After several moments of adjusting, she realized that she most certainly wasn't home.
Whatever she lay on was softer, there was a chandelier instead of a skylight, and the room was more ovular rather than circular.
She tried to move her arms, but she couldn't. Her eyes flickered to her wrists, a cold metal binding them, a chain keeping her on the bed.
She gave them a sudden pull, but all they did was rattle.
Instead of exhausting herself, she looked around the room a little more.
There seemed to be only one window and only one door. The window was right behind her, by the bed. Across from her was a large door, the main entrance to the room.

As she was staring at the door, someone opened it.

Gabriel Reyes stood in the doorway. He wore black dress shoes and pants. He also wore a white dress shirt with a deep red brooch. Over top he wore a jacket made of black. The sleeve cuffs, collar, and hem were all of the same red that was on his brooch. The jacket cane down to about mid-thigh on him. On his head there was a golden crown, several large jewels embedded on it. "Good morning princess"
His voice was laced with trickery, deceit, and malice.

Angela shuddered, the chains that bound her rattling ever so slightly. She had always had a fear of the ruler of the Reyes' kingdom. "What do you want Gabriel?"

He chuckled, "isn't it obvious dear? I want you." He sauntered towards her but stopped short. "Hah. But I know you don't want me. I've watched you long enough to know that your heart is set on another man."
"But too bad.. Priincesss. I'll be taking you before he can even get close! You'll be mine. And I'll have complete authority over this realm. You're the only thing in my way as of now."

She scowled.
"Fuck off Gabriel."

I know I know.
I haven't updated in quite a while.
And I'm sorry.

This was sitting as a draft for a while so I should have gotten this out sooner.
But sadly that means it may
Take a but for the next chapter

Please be patient,
I'm sorry for my lack of motivation.

Until next time
