Chereads / The Marakese - Part 4 / Chapter 41 - Hell and Heaven

Chapter 41 - Hell and Heaven

Angela was hidden in the forests for weeks, the same house where Wily was locked up. She stayed in the house and had some of her soldiers hunt and bring her food. And the food she ate were all tasteless and foul smelling. She ate and threw away most of the food in anger or in haste. Sitting there in the couch often times what her future was. The last she heard was that the North was being overrun by the kingdom and any rebels were taken prisoners. I could be forced to live the rest of my life here! she sighed. The house creaked often and the forests made eerie noises that gave her sleepless nights. And I would not last very long here, she summarized. Telik, she called out. The soldier she trusted the most. Yes , mu Queen , said Telik. I need you to go the kingdom and ask for our amnesty, she said. Yes my Queen, I shall ride right away, he said. And remember to tell them that I'm badly hurt and dying. Telik acknowledged her request."Telik rode to the kingdom" Angela rested her eyes trying to get some sleep.

When she awoke there was someone else in the room. "Who are you?" she gasped. The women who used to stay here before me, he stuttered. Well I wanted her to live! he said. Who used to live here? she asked. Does not matter now, said Seronn " She is dead!" Can I stay here? she asked him. It is up to you, replied Seronn. Or, he said. Or what? asked Angela. You could join us and be free, he said to her. Join who? she asked him. The dark lord, replied Seronn. " You give us your soul and we will give you your freedom" he said to her. Angela hesitated. What other choice do you have? asked Seronn. She pointed at the door. I have sent a soldier over to the kingdom to ask for my amnesty, she said. Seronn had an evil laughter on him. "You need to send someone else, he said to her". Why ? she asked with fear. Because I killed him, replied Seronn. Why? she cried! Why would you do that? the distraught Angela held her hands on her hand. Will you join us? asked Seronn. I would rather die, she said to him. So be it, said Seronn as he shot her dead with her gun. " This place is cursed after all" he uttered and walked away!
