The weather was perfect, the sky was dark. The stars were shining and above all the moon was full…its light was very visible and indeed beautiful.
But this night was about to turn into a nightmare for every member of Arthur’s family.
Banshee wasn’t going to let go of such an opportunity…which one would say comes once in a lifetime.
“You are here” Banshee dropped the small wooden bowl she was holding while she sat on the floor.
She also stopped her chants when she noticed the King and Catherine descending from the vehicle.
“Yes and as requested I have brought her ” the King went closer to Banshee as he dragged Catherine along with him.
“What is the meaning of all these?!… If you want to k*ll me then you should just go ahead and do it.
I cannot continue to live my life as if I am a prisoner” Catherine kept on lamenting as the King held her hand very tightly, trying to restrict her movements.
“Shhh!! Just keep quiet okay!” He ordered her as he pressed his palm onto her mouth, causing her to swallow a few drops of her own blood.
“NO!! Let her scream…let her lament. If you can then make her cry.. we need her ha ha ha” Banshee burst into a scheming and awkward laughter that sent shivers down Catherine’s spine giving her goosebumps all over and causing her to be silent.
“What?” The King let Catherine go so roughly making her fall to the floor as she had lost her balance.
“Yes…the reason I asked you to bring her here is so we can use her to lure Arthur here. We need his spirit to be present. I saw how mad he got the last time you hurt his wife.
Despite all our efforts to seperate them it now seems that even death cannot do them apart.
So now we are going to take advantage of that…now you are going to hurt her. Make her cry and plead for her husband” Banshee looked at the dark sky and lifted her right hand to the air.
A long iron rod appeared in front of her and she handed it to the King.
“Use this…it should work just fine” she nodded her head vertically.
“Please don’t…please” Catherine cried out as the King slowly approached her… she kept on moving backwards until she couldn’t anymore as she was about to make a run for it.
Unfortunately Banshee was too powerful as she snapped her neck quickly and it felt like a force was pulling Catherine towards the King.
“What did you say earlier? You said Arthur will come for you right? So better start praying he comes now” the King chuckled as he landed the first strike on her skin.
“AHH” Catherine cried out in so much pain and fell to the floor at once.
He kept on hitting her over and over again.
Her tears were unstoppable and it felt as if she had already cried out a river but Arthur didn’t show up. The King wasn’t ready to have any pity on her as well.
“Please stop…have mercy on me. You have taken everything from me…my happiness, my daughters and my husband…you even took my freedom away from me. Just stop this punishment.
ARTHUR PLEASE SAVE ME !!!”Catherine kept on crying and begging with the hopes that her husband would appear from nowhere and end her misery.
She wanted to be free, she even wished that she could just die so they could be together again.
“Shout some more…call his name” the King hit her with the rod again as he screamed at the top of his lungs.
“Stop!” Banshee yelled
“Is he here?” The King looked around.
“No he isn’t but this isn’t worKing” Banshee spat in disappointment.
“So what else should I do
“I don’t know” Banshee stood up from the floor and lifted her long black dress.
“At…thur” Catherine struggled to say before she fell to the floor
Meanwhile in the spirit world
Arthur kept on fighting the urge to go teach the King a lesson but he knew what was installed for him if ever he went. He couldn’t help himself, he could also feel Catherine’s pain and it took a lot of courage and self control for him to restrain himself.
” I have to go” Arthur found himself murmuring and before he could stop himself once again.
He was already in front of Catherine.
Back at Arthur’s house
“Ar…thur” he heard her stammer his name as she was semiconscious and it was obvious she was going to pass out anytime soon.
That was it … that was the last straw.
“BANSHEE!!” Arthur yelled as a heavy Stone flew at Banshee who was luckily alert as she crushed it by squeezing her hand.
“Welcome…we have been waiting for you” Banshee whispered as she picked up a small wooden pot.
“Not so fast!” She exclaimed and blew out some smoke coming from the pot, stopping Arthur from trying to get away.
“I have had enough of your taunting and drama. Enough of you and that bratty daughter of yours. I need my peace!” She held as she broke the pot.
“You can never have your peace so long as my blood is still out there. I will come back for you sooner than you expect” Arthur yelled as a heavy wind was pulling him towards the pool.
“Oh just shut up and get into the pool. At least now you’re dead.. you will be able to breathe underwater and if you aren’t then you better learn.
Because you are going to be stuck in there forever” she waved him goodbye as he fell into the pool.
“Ar…” Catherine slowly spoke with her eyes half closed before she passed out completely.
“I hope she is not dead” Banshee panicked as she stretched her hand towards the King.
The King slowly bent down to check if Catherine was still breathing.
“She isn’t dead…she would be fine.
Now that Arthur is gone I think we should just send her to join her husband” the King smirked as he kicked her body, attempting to throw her in the pool and succeedingly he had managed to throw her in the pool.
