Innocent

"If they are a threat to us, will they try to leave?" she asked, and he sighed.

"You have a point there, my princess, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have something up their sleeves." He added.

"Go and free them." She stated again.

"I am afraid I can’t do that, your father already gave me the go ahead to keep them as criminals till tomorrow when we interrogate them." He stated.

"Okay," she said and walked away, while he made gestures behind her back.

She walked into the room and shut the door. Her handmaid was waiting for her in her room.

"My princess, what is troubling you?" she asked.

"I don’t know why I have this feeling that those creatures are innocent and just want to be free." Kiros replied.

"I know right, you have always been a good person ever since I met you, why don’t you go and see them tomorrow." She suggested.

"I can’t go and see them, there are a lot of soldiers guiding the dungeon tomorrow, and Apedes told me they want to interrogate them tomorrow, I will just sit back and watch what he wants to do to them, if I am not pleased, I will intervene. I don’t care if my father is involved." She whined.

"Alright, do what you like, my princess."

Apedes walked to a group of soldiers and they started talking in a strange language.

"Tomorrow is the day, we find out who those creatures are." He said.

"What if we find out that they mean us no harm?" one of them inquired.

"Then I will have to hang them to death, I can’t stand being proved wrong, the king will think I am not doing my job well." He added.

"Wow, you are so bad." One of them added.

"What if we find out that they are powerful?" one of them added.

"They are not powerful, they are weak links, as they were not able to defend themselves today. What makes you think they will be able to defend themselves tomorrow?" One of them inquired.

"Exactly my point, and the princess is already on to me, she is just too nice." He added.

"Are you still trying your luck with her?" another one inquired.

"How can I? I don’t even exist to her until those creatures come, she always looks down on me." He whined.

"She is so beautiful, I love her." One of them added, and Apedes hit him on the head.

"Don’t even think of my Kiros in that manner." He whined and they all burst into laughter as one of the soldiers presented them with drinks and plastic cups. They all started drinking and chatting.

In earth.                                                                                                                                                                                              

Mrs Silver was getting worried, pacing in her room. Wondering where Ralph had gone. She has been trying his number but it wasn’t going through. She has decided if he doesn’t come back tonight she will go to the police.

On the other hand, no one was feeding Deacon. He was burning with fury as he spurted fire all over the place.
