Chapter 3 - Memory Loss

The man in armour quickly bowed and opened the cell.She scurried back even further. Who are these men and what did they want from her?

"Don't come any closer what do you people want from me?" fear gripped her and she began to sob. He ignored her pleas and seized her by the arm. "Where is it?"he whispered into her ear sending shivers down her spine. She couldn't meet his gaze so she hid her face.

"How much do you people want?I'll just call my manager and he'll send you as much as you need!" Turning to the old man she began to plead." What are you spewing you wench! You've been arrested by the Royal Guard. I suggest you comply if you don't your head chopped of right this minute!" He yelled at her in fury. "Arrested? What? You're not the police what right do you have to arrest me?" she fumed." Has she run mad?!" the old man shook with rage. The strange man with red eyes began searching her now silky red hair, she flinched when he touched the wound on her scalp." Tch!" He suddenly threw her back to the ground taking off his gloves and throwing them at her." She must have hit her head on some of the rocks". He sighed and massaged his temples.

"She's pretending to have no recollection of anything!"the older man seethed." Yul!"the old man's ranting made it difficult for him to think. After shutting him up he looked at the woman lying pathetically on the ground, he frowned when he met her eyes. The darkness of the dungeon had given them a darker hue but these were the same blue eyes of the woman he detested most but for some reason he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss...

Orion snapped out of it and walked out the cell while the guard closed the cell after him." Her trial will take place in three days and her execution the day after" he informed the Royal Advisor Yul who had all this time been fuming with rage, smiled at his master's words and cast a menacing look at the dumbstruck woman on the dungeon floor." Wait what do you mean by trial and execution are you some sort of cult, you had better let me go or else!" she began to rant yelling at the top of her voice. He paid her no heed and walked out with Yul in tow.
