Cora's POV

I stood there holding on to that rock hard surface that was keeping me upright at the moment, then I remembered who it was I was holding on to, and let him go immediately then stumbled backwards.

Anger and hatred took over me as I pushed myself away from William. I didn't mean to be so vulnerable but I just couldn't take it. how am I supposed to handle the knowledge of my own uncle brutally murdering hundreds of people? The Journal said that these people were beasts but he describe them to be quite similar to me. How am I connected to this? How is William connected as well?

I am guessing the man who wrote this journal Didn't live long enough to finish it, because there is almost no details into what happened after my uncle (the king) ordered the execution of the villagers who were supposedly Devil worshipers, or children of Satan himself. I needed to know what happened and who was involved then maybe I could finely find out the truth.

William tilted his head sideways looking at me curiously before he walked across the room and picked up the book and read it for himself. His eyes were wide the entire time he read it. He picked up all the scattered blank pages that fell on the floor when I threw the book down, and placed them in the book before putting it back in the desk.

He walked to me with his fingers on his Chin as if trying to think, then he looked up at me with a idea.

"You need to talk to your mother" William said.

"My mother?" I asked.

He gave me that look that stated you really are stupid aren't you?

"Yes, your mother is the kings little sister, I bet she knows something, probably everything" he said

I thought it over, it wasn't really a bad idea, I could talk to her.. But not now, it's to late and she's long asleep by now.

"Ok, we will talk to her tomorrow when we are supposed to be out at the shooting range." I said

He looked at me oddly "you want me to come?" He asked in disbelief.

"Well, just because We don't really click doesn't mean you don't deserve to know what you are. you need to know what's going on just as much as i do." I said truthfully.

"I think we are more alike then you'd like to admit." He said stepping closer to me.

I immediately placed my hand on my side grabbing the handle of my sword watching him like a hawk. I hadn't forgot the Little stunt he pulled earlier and I would always be prepared from now on. He stood there and gazed at me for a little before stepping a bit closer.

"I am nothing like you." I spat
I didn't know how I became so angry, but somehow I started to take it out on William.

"Oh really? And what am I?" He asked crossing his arms and awaiting a answer.

"You are a arrogant, Self absorbed prick who thinks that your title gives you the right to stomp on everyone." I said thinking about norman and beth and pretty much every other person that has 'no Importance to him' .

"I see." He said as his eyes narrowed with anger. "And I guess being a psycho pathic killer is much better?" ,

"I am not a psychopath" I defended.

"But you are a killer." He stated.

"Only to people who deserve it"

"And I guess your the Judge and jury on who 'deserves it' aren't you?"

I said nothing, I just looked at him not knowing what to say. He stepped a bit closer to me, so close I could feel the anger raging off of him. I never decided who lived or who died, it had always been my uncles Choice, but I would never take someone else's life unless they were a murder and were going to hurt more innocent people.

"I hope you put me in whatever category that makes you sleep better at night because we both know you decided my death a long time ago"

I looked at him once more, it was true I had, but not anymore. I didn't want to kill him. I wouldn't.

If my uncle has been keeping Secrets about killing hundreds of innocent people, what else has he been lying about? How many innocent people could I have killed just by taking his word for it? I started to feel sickened as the anger started to leave me. I stumbled backwards and looked into Williams eyes.

"Your right, I did plan your death. I had every detail worked out. I even knew where I was going to put your body." I said fearlessly. I didn't want to be around anyone right now let alone him. He made me emotional, he made me feel things. It was so much easier when I didn't have to feel.

He looked taken back by the way I straight up told him that I had every intent to kill him. A look of disgust crossed his eyes as he looked at me almost painfully.

"You are pure evil, rot in hell princess" he said before he stormed off out of the library.
