Deadly Darkness || Chapter Twenty || Suffer.

Kris felt the air shift as everybody bowed. Her breath hitched as she fought off the panic that was trying to overwhelm her.

"No no no" she frantically chanted, she couldn't rule.

She would end up killing them all, she had no right to lead a kingdom.

"My eldest brother Ash can take the crown" she said searching for a way out of this.

This must have been what they had been talking about when they told her to remember the consequences.

"Once a kingdom is taken through bloodshed only through further bloodshed or blood will the crown be given."

"Great, just fucking great" Kris muttered.

The only way she could get rid of the crown was if someone killed her or if she had a child.

"All hail Queen Kris, long live the queen, long live the queen"

A chant begun making Kris's already fragile nerves begin to tip over the edge.

She was losing her mind, insanity had always been present in her mind, but in those moments it was going to take over.

Kris sunk down into a crouch getting ready to attack, if there wasn't people then there was no need for a ruler.

Soft hands upon her shoulders stopped her from going on a killing spree. A deep breath confirmed it was Loki.

With surprising strength Loki pulled Kris up and into his arms. Slowly, hardly remembering what a hug felt like, she wrapped her arms around him. In the past few years the only reason anything wrapped their arms around was when they were either trying to kill her or beg for their lives.

Kris always hated when people begged, she would kill them either way.

Sighing Kris whispered a command, "Retire if you wish, just get the fuck out of here."

The people scattered like mice, the room empty in what seemed life like seconds, all frightened and aware of what their new ruler was capable of. The people of the Royal Pack didn't know whether to be happy or afraid if their new leader. Of course they were scared of her, she was Mors, death itself but King Julian was merciless, a true incarnation of the devil. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place, the people could only pray to the gods and God himself that she would be kinder. Or someone kill her and take over.

"What are going to do" Vlader asked Kris, or should he say Queen Kris.

"Call me queen, Vlader and I'll pull your voicebox from your throat," Kris growled.

****.

Nigel Noel held his knife tightly never taking notice of the blood dripping from his hands, too blinded by is own rage to care.

He was furious, his years of careful planning was ruined all because of that blind bitch.

"Ahh" He growled, he had been so close to killing his king.

It wasn't supposed to be this way, he had planned to poison King Julian, kill those who went against his new rule and steal her.

Nigel wasn't delusional enough to believe it would be easy, cunning and conniving he was, foolish he most certainly wasn't.

Footsteps disrupted Nigel inner thoughts making it aware that someone or more correctly some people were nearing his chambers.

Knock. Knock. Knock. Pause, three seconds pass. Knock. Knock. Kick.

The knock and kick to the door was the secret code his group had come up with after their first meeting.

Six men and four women stood stiffly in the doorway waiting to be allowed entry.

"Welcome fellow comrades we have much to disgusts"

Once everybody had taken a seat the talk begun.

"What are we going to do about the new Queen?"

"How could we even hope to overthrow her, she's Mors"

"We'll die if we attempt to go against her"

"Its suicide"

"Settle!" Nigel shouted, "we do not need to worry. It may be harder to take her out-"

"I'll say" someone cut in.

He continued after a glare at the person, "but have you forgotten our dream, the very same vision we all had? To be free from a ruler, to kick the royals off the throne. Our dream can /B still B/ become a reality.

"All those in favor of taking our the new queen"

"I" they all replied

"Well this is what we're going to do..."

A thought struck her, where was her family?

She knew they weren't on Royal territory, because she would have been able to sense them. There was the chance they wouldn't come back as they had felt father die and someone take his place.

Kris hoped they would come back, especially ex queen Annabelle, she couldn't wait to torture her to death.

Her brothers were a completely different matter, she wasn't quite sure what she would do with them.

"What are you thinking about mate?" Loki asked.

"Do to know the whereabouts of my brothers and mother is?" She questioned in return.

"They were visiting neighboring territories, strengthening ties, so to speak"

"All of them?"

"Yeah, but Ash, Bennie, Canmie, Dean, Elden and Finnely are taking the smaller island while Grey, Henry, Ivan and Jai went to the larger places with your mother"

"When are they due to return?" Kris inquired.

"We have gotten reports all of them are on their way back, readying to take out the new leader... aka you"

"Wonderful, I shall take her" she spat the word, leaving no doubt who she was talking about - her mother. "life as she so wished she had mine, year so. Only now she regret the very day I took my first breath"

She would make her

"Suffer"
