At the palace
Banshee’s POV
“You aren’t saying anything?” The king was partially shouting and although he was standing behind me I could feel the fear and vibration in his voice.
“What exactly do you want me to say? What else do you want to hear?!” I thundered back because I was getting frustrated already by the whole issue.
“I want you to tell me you have a solution. I want you to say you can do something!” He forcefully grabbed my shoulders so that I was now facing him.
“Say something! Say anything!” he was freaking out and it looked like he was going to lose his mind any moment.
“You have to get a hold of yourself!” I screamed at him and forcefully took his hands off my shoulder before I took a pause and turned around so I wasn’t facing him.
“Besides.. This issue is beyond me. I don’t know what to do because we aren’t dealing with the living. HE IS DEAD and I don’t know how to stop him from taunting us” I was disappointed and angered because I had never felt so helpless in my life before.
“Banshee.. there must be something you can do.. you.. you are the most powerful witch I know. You must do something if not we are both goners” he ran his hands through his thick yet relaxed black hair.
“I am trying my best. I have searched over 200 spell books over the night and I still haven’t found any spell that is strong enough to get rid of Arthur” I moved my eyeballs and was searching for nothing in particular in the room. I was just too helpless.
“So we are going to let him win after 20 good years of hard work. After all the innocent blood we have shed? just to make sure Arthur doesn’t take over? Are we going to let him win in his death?” He turned over a table, shattering everything that was on it to pieces.
“Your majesty” a maid with a tiny voice entered the room and I turned to look at her, she looked so scared that her legs were shaking.
“WHAT IS IT?” The king yelled at her.
“The.. the…the.. lady.. she.. she..” the maid continued to stammer.
“Speak to me! Say words that I will understand!!” The king wasn’t calm as his voice was the only thing that echoed in the room.
“She ..” the maid took a quick pause.
“She is acting strange and I don’t know what is happening to her. She seems to be talking with someone, please come see for yourself” the maid said in one breath before she fainted, I saw it coming anyways.
“You have to stay calm or else you will expose us before Arthur or his autistic daughter even gets the chance to” I warned the king as he was already giving us out.
“Guard!!” He yelled and two well built men dressed in a royal blue attire ran towards him.
“Take her away from here. Get her treated or something but just get her out of my sight” he ordered and one of the guards picked her up from the floor and took her away with him.
Catherine’s POV
“I am so happy you are here Arthur, I have missed you so much. I thought you had left me forever” I said to Arthur as he sat on the bed with me wearing a completely white attire.
“I never knew you liked white so much but anyways it looks very good on you” I complimented him and tried to hug him but he stood up from the bed.
“Why aren’t you saying anything to me?. What wrong have I done to you? I have been locked up here for so many years and you didn’t even bother to visit me and when you do you refuse to let me touch you or hold you?.
Don’t I look beautiful anymore” I wiped my tears with the back of my palm.
“No Catherine, It’s not that. I just want to tell you something before..” Arthur was talking before the door flung open.
“What is wrong with you huh? Do you think I kept you here for nothing? Why are you making things so difficult for me? If you aren’t passing out then it’s something else” the strange man forcefully held my hand and dragged me out of the bed so I was standing upright in front of him as he slapped me across the face, making me fall back on the bed. I held my red cheeks with hot tears flowing down my cheeks.
“Now I will teach you a lesson because I am fed up!!” He brought out his belt and raised it in mid air.
“Arthur, are you just going to stand there and watch him treat your wife this way? Arthur please do something” I pleaded with Arthur as I let my uncontrollable tears flow.
But this strange man didn’t care as he was about to whip me but the belt twisted around his wrist, holding him so tight that his blood flow had stopped.
“AHH” he yelled in pain as the lady who had always treated me rushed towards him and was trying to set him free.
Banshee’s POV
“You better warn him never to raise his hands to my wife again or else I will give him a far worse experience than you had the previous night.
Warn him now!!” Arthur yelled at me as I could see him standing close to Catherine but unfortunately the king couldn’t.
“You have to stop, or else he will kill you. Let her be, let’s leave this place” I tried to drag the king out but he was trying to be stubborn and his palm was so swollen and risen like a blown up balloon that I was just too scared his hand might burst.
I immediately cast a spell on him and he couldn’t understand himself as he followed me like a poppet out of the room.
