Cora's POV

I watched the towns people from my window above. Men and woman held hands in the Courtyard as there children ran happily around the tall Fountain. Others were working around the castle moving along with there day. I however sat up here full of anger and rage. I knew of great evil, I have dealt with the worst scum on the face of the earth, but nothing could possibly be more evil then this, Then him.

I heard light knocks on my door but ignored them. I didn't want to speak with anyone about anything, all I wanted to do was be alone. Nevertheless I heard the down open and I lost it.

Next thing I knew, My entire fist went Through the wall and I heard a large crash. Rubble and dust flew across the room as my entire hand laid there in the wall. I heard footsteps from behind me as I pulled my fist from the wall, Broken peaces lay in my skin. I brought my arm up to closer to my eyes to examine but somehow felt no pain, all I felt was anger.

"What are you doing?" I head a voice from behind me say. Williams voice.

He walked up to me and snatched my bleeding hand into his own. He looked it over and then gazed up at me. Worry crossed his face as he pulled me into the wash room and sat me down on the bathtub. He walked out of the room for a moment or so, I wasn't really sure how long he was gone for because my mind was a blank.

He came back with a cloth slung over his shoulder and a bucket of water in his hands. He kneeled down In front of me and took my hand back into his.

"Why would you do this?" He asked me softly as he began pulling little peaces of rubble out of my skin.

I gazed into his eyes as I thought for the right answer to give him. Should I tell him? I know I should but if my uncle found out that I did he might have him killed anyways. I couldn't let him die and I would certainly not kill him on our wedding night, that was for sure.

"I am angry" I told him truthfully.

"Xavier?" He asked.

"Who else?"

He smiled slightly as he dipped the cloth into the bucket. I winced at the pain of the cold water hitting my torn skin, my sense of pain Finley coming back to me.

"Sorry" he muttered under his breath as he carefully continued.

I watched as he cleaned my fist with the most lightest Touch. My skin would fire up every time his skin became in contact with mine.

"No, I am sorry." I whispered.

He froze in place and looked up at me.

"What are you sorry for?"

I brook eyes contact with him feeling the despite need for a little space. I could feel his eyes burning into me. My eyes finally landed on the ground, noticing just how well beth does her job and scrubs to perfection.

"Everything. Just everything." I said but he still Kneeled before me awaiting something a little bit more explanatory.

"For putting you in this mess in the first place. Maybe if I wasn't so blindly following orders I wouldn't have gone after you in the first place."

He smiled slightly as he put the cloth once again over his shoulder.

"No need to apologize princess, I myself am a magnet for the crazy so I would've ended up here one way or another."

I smiled slightly at the use of the word princess, somehow when he used it it didn't sound wrong.

He let go of my hand and reached down to the bottom of his white shirt. He ripped a long peace starting from his left hip, to his right.

Great, now not only have I brung him into my crazy and deadly life but now he ripped a completely good shirt for me and my stupidity.

"It's just a shirt." He said in amusement as he wrapped the slashed peace around my hand.

Once he finished he grabbed both of my hands in his and gazed up at me in the most heart pounding way.

"Whether it's a peace of my shirt or the end of my blade that you need, I am here." He said softly.

My heart felt Heavy as I gazed at him. In that moment I realized I wasn't going to follow the rules anymore. I wasn't going to listen to the countless orders my uncle would give me. The first thing I am going to do when I leave this room is go tell my uncle that he can shove his crazy and cruel plan up where the sun doesn't shine because I am done...

I stood up and pulled Him up with me.

I grabbed Williams neck and pulled him close to me, loving the feeling of his breath on my skin. "Thank you" I whispered because I took over his lips.

He pushed me up against the wall And kissed me passionately. I ran my hands up and down his Muscular shoulders as He ran his fingers through my hair and pulled me closer then I thought possible. And he stayed there tangled in Each others arms.

•••

I nocked on my uncles door more forcefully then ever. This is it.

He opened it up and I dove past him into the room. He looked me over oddly before closing the door and walking up to me.

"What is it child?"

I took a deep breath. There is no turning back now.

"I am not doing it" I said strongly.

"Doing what?" He asked

"Any of it, not anymore. I am done."

"Oh really?" He asked

"Yes."

"I see." He said. "I must say I am disappointed in you child. I raised you and taught you everything you know and this is how you repay me?"

"You taught me how to be a killer." I spat. "And as for raising me, we both know you didn't have any hand in that"

He glared at me with anger.

"I really hopped it wouldn't come to this, but I guess your leaving me no other choice..."

I starred at him in Question.. What has he done?

He whistled in a high pitch and moments later two man came into the room with what looked like to be a woman in there hands. She had a feed sack over her head. She was kicking and screaming but her sounds weren't being heard because of the obvious gag she had in her mouth...

I looked at my uncle in horror before he smiled at me in triumph.

"Wait!" He said "it gets better"

The two man pulled off the brown sack on the girls head and I froze...

BETH!!!!
