Chapter 34
My head! Why does that keep happening? Where am I? I think I am blindfolded. Trying to open my eyes and succeeding, the tightness around my head should have been a giveaway. I am sitting down on something that's moving. I am used to the motion of a carriage, and this is it.
"Hello?" I called out.
I heard the creak of someone putting weight on wood and BANG! I was punched in the face.
"Oh wow, you dick! That hurt"
BANG, I was hit with something metal, and I passed out.
Eventually, I woke up again, laying down on something stuff but no blindfold. I took a moment to take in my surroundings. It's a prison cell. I'm on a bed made of bricks. There is a bucket in a corner, I guess, that is meant to be my toilet. Damp bricks. That's how the cell looks. A metal door. Good, I am going to kick the shit out of it until someone comes and speaks to me.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
'Okay, kid, damn!" Yelled a voice in the distance. Footsteps rushed to the door. "You can stop banging now, son" This guy's voice was oddly calm, and his accent gave me the familiar feeling of someone from a West country in England. The door opened and a small man no bigger than a child of 8 years old. He has a bald head and round glasses. Super hair arms that travel all the way her arms go his hairy knuckles, he is dressed in a buttoned-up navy blue shirt and the same coloured pants. Reminds me of an American police officer.
"Where am I?" I asked him.
"You're in jail, son", he said with a confused look. Like, how do I not know?
"I kinda guessed, but I mean, where am I?"
"In the city of flora, in the kingdom of Florian"
"That mother fucker kidnapped me! How did I get in here?"
"Some soldiers brought you in and told me that I should inform them the moment you wake up"
"Where are they now? I need a word?" I am furious, these bellends have sucker-punched me more than once,e, and it's time I returned the favour.
"They will be here, son. Have you seen that over there?" He pointed behind. I turned around to see what he meant and he closed the door the second I turned around. "Sorry about that, but you look angry, and I don't want to deal with any trouble right now" his tiny steps faded away in the distance. All I have to do is wait because they are coming. Okay, I'll wait. Seething. Ears blowing her like a boiling kettle, I can hear footsteps. Multiple sets of them slapped my knees and stood up, Then began jumping on my heels, ready to kick off.
Bang my door flew open. 3 ugly beasts of men stood there. I recognised one of them from the room with the crown room, the fat one in the middle.
"Hey boys, which one of you fuckers hit me?" The trio pointed at themselves. My eyes flared, my ears literally blew smoke, and my whole body burned with rage. I ran at them, leading with a Spartacus kick, and I began to swing at anything that moved. I was able to hold my own. That was until they pulled batons that glowed red. Magic. Why can't I use magic properly without the crystals? I would win this if I could.
"RONALD!" Someone yelled my name from behind. It was a pigeon face! She was down the hall with another 3 more men. "Stop that if you wish to live! Besides the royal family would like to speak with you"
"Where are they?" I sneered, blood trickling down my face.
"Come with us, I promise you, no harm will come to you. The king has forbidden it" I gave her a look of Are you kidding me? Look around you. "You started that; please put the blindfold on, I promise you. If anyone tries anything, I will tell the king, and they will be executed".
"Unlucky," I told the three behind me and walked over to pigeon face. She looks like she is being honest, but her face is scrunched up like she is bracing herself in case I or someone else might hit her. "I'm Ronnie. Nice to meet you." I reached my hand out, then pulled it back and whipped the blood off my suit, which was dirty and a little torn up. "What is your name?"
"Cassidy,", she said, full of nervousness; her hand was shaking when she took mine.
"Let's go Cassidy" I took the blindfold and tied it around my head. Cassidy led me down a hall and then outside into a carriage; I took a seat with Cassidy. It was just here and I in there. "I am sorry about this," she said.
"It's not your fault", I replied.
We travelled for 10 minutes. I think Before we stopped again, strangely peaceful. No idea what we passed or who we passed. I heard footsteps and chatter.
"We are here, sir Ronald", Cassidy said softly. "I will open the door and lead you out and into the throne room".
"Okay, let's go" I calmed down in the 10 minutes of travelling and did my best to remain calm; I had to remember. I am in a new country. One that owns slaves, kidnaps people and executes people if their orders aren't followed. I can't be one of them. I have to get home to see my brother and see my mother or sister. Doors squeaked, and footsteps on either side of me, my hand on Cassidy's shoulder
"Sir Ronald, we are about to walk upstairs", Cassidy informed me. "Ready now" thank god she told me I would have fallen up these. "The stairs are ending now"
"Thank you, Cassidy"
"We are here, I will open the door and lead you. Be polite to the royal family" She suddenly went quiet, "They have a temper and are quick to punish good luck"
"Thank you again" I took a deep breath and heated the doors open up, and Cassidy and I walked into a ghostly silence".
