Chapter 20: Chapter 20
I closed my door then but on the belt. I had a sinking to her words. Who were coming? I guess that I can keep on the crown since I need to find Jasper. As I was about to sit down again, someone knocked on my door.
My stomach dropped as I was yanked out of my room by the queen's guard. I was tossed around six feet from my door, but I recovered quickly as I drew my weapon. I could see that threw off the men as they drew theirs. We stood there for a few moments as reinforcements gathered behind me, entrapping me in a circle. I spotted my father's personal guard so I decided to be the first one to speak.
"Gannon, what is going on?" I asked him as I slowly spun in a circle with my weapon raised, keeping an eye on all the men.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Melianna." he whispered once my back was to him. At that instant, I felt the tip of his sword on the base of my neck. I stopped moving but I continued to look around at the men. Many of them have train along side me. I felt sharp tears spring into my eyes as the deep gash of betrayal cut through me. Every one held hate and contentment in their eyes for me. Just yesterday, I was being accepted as one of them and now today…
I didn't let myself finish that thought as I buried my feelings deep since I knew that they weren't going to get me anywhere. I was pulled from my mind as the leader spoke.
"Melianna Tae GracAnn, you are hereby under arrest for treason to your country. Lower your weapon." the man said from my left side.
Hearing that made the tears spring back up as I said, "Many of these men have trained with me. As my equal. I am no traitor to my country." My voice cracked as tears started falling as I stated, "I will not go without a fight. I'm sorry."
Once I finished speaking, I started to move. I spun and knocked Gannon's sword out of his hands then I launched myself at the nearest man. I brought my sword around on the leader's neck, severing it. Then I spun around, catching arms and swords in my blades path, all the while tears streamed down my face. I felt the hole in my chest widen with each piece of flesh my sword made contact with. The cries of pain from my fellow trainees made me cry even harder.
As the blood pooled at my feet, I slowly started to collapse in on my self. I landed on my knees as the last soldier fell to the ground with my sword dripping his blood. I leaned on my sword for support as I cried for the lives I had to take. I looked up and through my tear filled eyes, I seen Gannon lift his sword above his head. So I did the one thing that I knew would rip me to shreds. I shoved my sword through his heart. I watched as the life slipped from his eyes at my hand. I pulled my sword free and watched as the man I grew up with dropped to the ground lifeless with a sickening slap in the blood. I finally bowed my head and cried.
All these men could have been saved; going home to their families right now. I could feel as their warm blood seeped into my clothes and turn cold. As I cried for what felt like an eternity I could feel the final nail on the coffin of my revenge and sorrow lift. I slowly stopped crying in sadness. Soon the hallway was replaced by the sounds of my scream for revenge. I vow that I will avenge these men. Who ever gave the order to arrest me will die a painful and brutal death by my hands.
