[KIYOMI]
Queen Sakura looked at the woman who was lying on her table. She could tell that Kiyomi was horrified about what was to happen to her, but Sakura didn't care. She always never did when it came to her contracts.
Her excuse for the contacts was that she fished out the people who brought shame to the Lycan society. And the simplest price for that, was her contracts, the contract that could never be revoked.
As it was, Dr. Kiyomi was the latest shameful Lycan; that was the only reason the mad queen had gone through all the trouble of getting this particular Lycan to her penthouse and not even the regular prisons, yeah?
"I don't have time for this. Wake her up," the Lycan queen said as she looked at the woman in front of her. She looked scared, and tired like she had been running around the entire morning.
For a moment there Sakura wondered if Kiyomi really was okay or if she needed to get some rest. She wondered if there was anything she could do for the woman, but then the contract was good for both of them, right?
Oh, how the queen was conflicted, however, just as fast as the little tinge of emotion surfaced in her mind, so did it disappear. It was like that was just some dream, an illusion that Sakura Watanabe had unintentionally triggered, right?
"Smack," came the sound of huge palms hitting Kiyomi's cheeks, making the doctor wake up with a start.
"Oww," Kiyomi grimaced as she glared at the guard who had smacked her face. She hated everything about this place and she despite the fact that she hadn't been able to make a run for it. Now she had a Sakura contract to deal with. damn.
"Sign it," the queen said as a high guard shoved the contract on Kiyomi's face, something that the doctor had been hoping to run away from. She was screwed and there was no way out of this, but then maybe this was an illusion still?
"No… I don't wanna," Kiyomi said defiantly as she stared right into the Lycan queen's eyes. It was already night and the doctor knew the chances of them disposing of her body in ways that no one expected were high.
On the other hand, she knew that the Lycan queen loved parading her kills. The woman never had anything she did, which was also why Kiyomi knew that the entire Odanera would know about what the queen did to her… If she didn't sign the contract.
"I won't ask again, petal," the queen said and the high guard grabbed Kiyomi's hands and forced the pen there. They had surrounded her, something that Kiyomi had yet to release. Her fate was in the Lycan queen's hands, but then what if?
"I won't sign this," Kiyomi insisted, making the Lycan queen task before the circle around Kiyomi opened up and she was forced to look at the humans in the corner. But they were not just any humans.
They were familiar faces — her colleagues from Odanera Hospital. The same people she worked with every morning and night. The same people the hospital wouldn't ever survive without, because they were in her team of specialist surgeons.
If these specialist surgeons were taken out, the city would be in a mess, and even worse, the country would take a hit that no one would ever know how to fill up, seeing as most of them were specialized in delicate surgeries.
"Oh, petal, I wasn't asking... You WILL marry me," the queen said and Kiyomi scoffed at the absurdity of the statement. She had a life that didn't revolve around this queen and her madness. Surely there had to be a way she could free herself or whatever this was, right?
"You will murder innocents just because of a contract? You can get anyone you want, literally anyone and yet you choose me? You're insane," Kiyomi said, only for one of the high guards to smack her face with his palm once again, leaving marks on her cheeks.
"You will respect the queen," the high guard said and Kiyomi scoffed. She had been out of the Lycan lands for years now. Kiyomi had come to seek shelter in Odanera because this was the one place she was sure she was safe in.
The ghosts of her past were too much for her and she had a choice to leave home and come here, or stay home and be murdered with the rest of her family. That wasn't much of a choice for her, so she ran when the last of them was taken out.
Maybe it had been a selfish decision, but the queen was staring at her almost like she knew something that Kiyomi didn't know of reminded Kiyomi of the time she had lost everything. This was dangerous on so many levels, but then for Kiyomi, here standing in front of the queen was already a sentence for her.
She was a rogue, one without a home, a rogue that hadn't officially requested a transfer, something that Queen Sakura disposed of more than even the murderers and thieves in her realm.
"You still won't sing?" the queen asked and Kiyomi stared at her defiantly.
"No. I won't," Kiyomi insisted.
"Bring the pale one," the queen ordered her high guard when walked over to where the surgeons were wearing and dragged the cardiologist. They needed that woman more than anything in Odanera but then the Lycan queen didn't care about that.
"Look well, petal. This is what happens when you defy me," the queen said as she clawed the doctor's heart, before chopping off her head and letting it roll on the floor, something that got Kiyomi shaken.
"Nooo!!!" Kiyomi cried out in pain.
She wasn't sure what she was expecting but the Lycan queen doing this, was certainly not it. What happened to not harming humans? Then again, if the Lycan queen was one to follow the laws, Kiyomi wouldn't be here, yeah?
Queen Sakura was a soulless crazy Lycan queen, a woman known to screw everyone for her fun. Everything she touched always got ruined and Kiyomi was watching that first hand. The fact that the queen was excited about this was unsettling for Kiyomi.
Perhaps she should have just agreed to whatever she wanted, right?
"I could kill everyone, for you, Dr. Kiyomi Kimura. Is that really a theory you want to keep testing? All you have to do is sign the paper and agree to be my wife, and I will let these useless humans be," Queen Sakura said and Kiyomi sighed.
Her colleagues were shaken, and scared of what was happening. Kiyomi could see the questions in their eyes and their pleas for mercy. She could see the moment it dawned on them that their lives were in the hands of Kiyomi.
It was a task so unexpected but then what else was there for the Lycan doctor? What could she do to save her team? Or would she make the choice and save herself from the cruelest contracts to ever exist?
"Wait… Please… Wait,'' Kiyomi said right as another high guard shot the next doctor right in the head, making her watch as the body slumped on the floor, lifeless. She was forced into a contract that wouldn't favor her, for reasons she didn't even know of.
