Chereads / THE WARRIOR QUEEN / Chapter 22 - CHAPTER 22: HUMAN QUEEN

Chapter 22 - CHAPTER 22: HUMAN QUEEN

I'm starting to feel very weak, lightheaded, probably a result of my leaking wound. Maybe I should not have walked out on Luca, it just proved him right, I'm weak and frail and all it took for me to realize was to get me outside alone for revenge fueled people to capture and stab me, now I'm most likely going to die because of my foolishness.

"Why isn't she healing fast, she should be healed from the stab wound by now?" I heard a voice, she was the one who was talking to me the other time.

"Maybe the healing is just slow" the other voice replied.

"It shouldn't be" she said before I felt her closer to me then my blindfold was removed and I was staring into an honey coloured eyes.

"Please" I whispered out pleadingly, I sound pathetic but what's new.

"What are you?" she asked folding her hands.

"Human" I whispered and I saw the immediate scared look on her face before she started trying to release the chains that was locked around me.

"What are you doing?" the other lady asked.

"We took the wrong person Maze" thelady releasing me snapped.

"And you're sure of that because of what she said, she could be lying and pretending you know" the Maze said much to my dismay and discomfort, do I look like someone capable of pretending right now, well I don't even know what I look like.

"She's bleeding out and could die at any moment if she's actually human, we need to treat her" the first girl said before carrying my limp body out of the crappy cell, I tried keeping my eyes opened so I can keep up with my surroundings but exhaustion was setting in and everything was getting blurry.

"You would blame yourself if she dies and turn out to actually be human Maze" that was the last thing I heard before I succumb into oblivion.

.....

"She's coming around" I heard a faint voice  as my eyes opened to a white wall and the strong smell of bleach wafted through my nose. I looked around me and saw three people looking at me, a man in scrubs and the two ladies from the cell.

"How are you feeling?" the man in scrubs asked as the Maze lady smiled at me awkwardly.

"Peachy" I croacked out and the other lady raised an eyebrow at me. I just looked away from her and turned my face to the other side where noone was. They stabbed me and now they want to know how I'm feeling, I could have died!

"I understand the grudge you must have but we mistook you for someone else" the lady said making me look towards her again.

"You wanted to kidnap the queen of the dragons" I said and she nodded.

"Those animals deseve every bad thing that  could ever happen to them, especially their King" Maze said and a stab went through my heart at the mention of someone hurting Luca. I didn't say anything so as not to put myself in the unnecessary trouble I just came out of

"What did you plan on doing to me if I was the Queen?" I said and Maze cleared her throat before looking to the other lady.

"We were going to torture you and then use you to negotiate a deal with the King"  the lady said.

"What deal?" I asked and Maze shook her head to the other lady.

"Human freedom from the Kingdom of Krashia" she said and I laughed so hard my ribs were starting to hurt and the two ladies and the doctors looked at me like I was some crazy lady, maybe I am, I mean I almost thought Luca liked me for me and it was not some matebond making him tolerate me.

"Something funny?" the first lady asked with an eyebrow raised.

"You guys thinking you can negotiate human freedom with the Queens life is ridiculous, the King only cares about himself" I said.

"I think he cares about her enough to be keeping her hidden from the world, that's because he knows his enemies will be out for her blood as soon as she's known, he kept her so hidden noone knows her specie" she said shutting me up,I was mad at Luca because he didn't come forward to claim me, I thought it was because I am human but maybe I should have just listened to him.

"How did you know we were in Fair Land?" I asked.

"We? I assumed you were a Fair maid" first lady who I really need to know her name now asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I-I"  I stuttered.

"Is there something we should know?" Maze asked folding her hands.

"I'm a Krashia maid" I said.

"You came with the King to the land of Fair and you were wondering around like that, you don't act like a normal Krashia maid" Maze said looking at me suspiciously.

"I got lost and I was trying to find my way when you abducted me" I said making the first lady cringe.

"Do you believe her Khloe?" Maze said making me finally know the first lady's name.

"You brought me here after stabbing me and now you think I'll risk my safety by lying" I said trying my best to sound convincing.

"Yes that's exactly what a Queen trying to hide her identity will do" Maze said, folding her hands while shooting a side of her hips out. she doesn't seem to like me much.

"What made you guys think I'm the Queen, do I even look like a Queen or do you just go about stabbing every lost girl in the wood?" I asked looking to Khloe who seem to tolerate me a bit more.

"Our spy informed us, white hair, melanin skin, not more than 5'6! You fit the description perfectly" she said still looking at me with an unreadable face making me very uncomfortable.

"You have a spy among the King's people?" I asked.

"And you think we'll tell you who?" Maze hissed, chill girl.

"So you don't know what specie the Queen is?" I asked swallowing hard.

"Yes, she could be anything but definitely not human" Khloe said still eyeing me weirdly.

"Why?" I asked trying to sound nonchalant.

"The King hates we human, she would have been dead before sunrise" Maze said rolling her eyes.

"He would kill his own mate because she's human?" I asked scared even though I'm still very much alive.

"Maybe not kill but if she turns out to be human she better not trust him" Maze replied and Khloe narrowed her eyes.

"You seem to know something!" Khloe stated making my heart jolt.
