The Poisoning.

I woke up in a dark cell where only a small light were glowing from a little shattered window. I don't what happened but I guess it is a disaster since I do not know where I am. Dear people, who ever you are, please don't be a monster ! This place is horrible, smells like piss and a vomit odor are taking all over the place I'm at, an old man is litteraly rotting here. He barely has any food, probably malnourished, still he takes it's humid blanket to put on his naked feet.

- It's mine ! It's mine ! You can't have it ! He shouts it damn loud, I don't want a problem.

Sophia, just calm down and do what I always did. Act calm, inspire the boring but not too much as if mother-in-law is by it's thrown looking as a normal day.

- I won't take it, sir. I don't..?

He stands up throwing his towel at the locketed door.

- He gave it to me ! It's mine ! He screams even harder than before.

Now, I hear the guards coming towards, I am in panic as he smiles his eyes are getting wilder as if he realizes the error he just had made. By it's look, I shut down in tears.

What if it's a scheme for someone ? It might a simulation from my dear father. No, I don't think so, illegitimate kids will be killed and that's all. Are my sisters, and brothers alright ? Gosh, I will die in the hands of strangers. I would have thought this witch could be faster to slaughter me, well at least she is a woman if not dead by now.

- You guys put that girl in the wrong cage ! Do you want die so badly you two ?!

It's a woman's voice, may she has mercy in my last breath. She opens the wooden door in a kick, the keys in her fingers, as she closes it I can see by the lighting a bit of her face. It has scars, like tiny drops of steel got stuck in her right cheek. She attacks the poor man, leaving him to be dead. His blood start to run to my knee quickly as I get more and more close to the wall, my wrists hurt me because I am chained to those freaking bricks.

- What I am going to do with you ? She asks, she is doing that on purpose to scare me I suppose.

- I'm asking you, I won't do it twelve times ! Her voice got fastly menacing. Somehow it reminds me of my sisters but that woman doesn't wear extravagant dresses while dreaming of a prince charming, her tone is deeper too.

- I don't know. I'm going to be honest, I'm his illegitimate daughter, do whatever you want on him or me. I don't care about it, he was always a bad ruler.

My shoes are wet now, drenched in some cold blood, did she really had to kill him though ? I mean she just took the castle, but I didn't expect her to behave savagely on the crazy guy. I feel so thirsthy, and in a bad shape.

- You might know for the war, then. She sights, this is going not good, she maybe is mad about me.

- Yes. Though I never seen a such creature.

- You must think we are monsters, don't you ? Killing people for the sake of this old fun and biting them out of rage.

Is she disappointed by my words ? Do they perceive it differently ?

- My father do that. But he calls himself a king, it's hypocrisis if you go hunt at least make sure you hunt the right thing. I tried to explain me as much as I could.

Her sworld doesn't make me that scared, my mother had one too to protect her, the king got on his horse to shoot her with and arrow procedeed to walk over the place around the village I was born in. It was because of the witches apparently that he killed for it's sake.

- My eyes are getting sleepy if you may excuse my knight or whatever titles you go by. It's true, they got some drugs in my glass. I remarked it to be alone, I didn't do a full sip it was just enough to put the act on. The servants, as far I remember they were good. They were the people that came from nothing that have gotten a job to watch the others got everything, I understand them in the end.

- You may sleep, lady. She holds me in her arms, okay, these are the last things I might say.

- I never hated you, guys. I thought you were strange, but nobody can disgust me more than my father. I thought they were going to kill me a few weeks ago, my dear mother put cyanure in my book. I wouldn't like to pity before my death but if the occasion if there, tell them to go fuck off by my mouth.

- Who told you you will die ? She whispers at my ear.

- What ?

She is laughting at me, looking pretty amused by my tirade as she makes me stand while she is helping me to get off the dress I have on.

- I do not want to have sex too. I say as I watch her closely in her eyes, it's color is blue.

I'm suddenly light-headed and she hypnotizes me quite well.

- It's just for the bath.

- Thanks.
