Chapter 57: Consequences Part 2

"Lisa!" screamed Olivia as she rushed inside. The other Templar's rushing them inside to get them treated for their injuries, giving them food. But they occasionally glanced at the dryads.

"Olivia, what happened?" shouted Lisa as she gestured to Olivia's torn cloths, and injured and dirty body.

"It was Jess," screamed Olivia. "She destroyed Redstonia!"

----------

About a day ago.

The screams. The terror. The lost. All of these things I brought to the people in Redstonia, who have seem to forgotten with their pride and arrogance with their development of redstone knowledge.

I looked down at the destruction I caused, smiling as my eye shinned with sadistic glee. Even though I only have one eye, and only my left arm, and my body is still horribly burnt, I forgotten it all and only said one word to describe the scene before me.

"Good."

But then the feeling faded away, instantly replaced with hatred as I turned to look at Ellegaard in a metal cage. "You took something precious from me, Ellegaard." I said as I walked up to the cage, the female inside is full of defiance and fear. "And I'm going to make sure you feel the same pain I... but a thousand times worse."

Bailey watched the Templar guard take her final meal away from her, still unable to cope that she's on death row. But none of the Templars who are watching her cared.

In their eyes, she's nothing more than a criminal. They escorted her to a small, narrow platform that's over a deep pit, with a wooden railing above it.

They secured the noose around her neck, and tied the end to the wooden railing. She started to cry, even when they placed a blindfold around her eyes.

It was then she was pushed off the platform, feeling the noose around her neck tighten as she fell into the pit...

----------

Bailey woke up from the nightmare with a yelp, her heart pounding out of her chest. A second later she started to cry about her situation. "I just tried to help," sobbed Bailey.

She looked out through the bars of her cell to see Lisa herself, standing outside and unlocking the bars before stepping in and locking them behind her.

Bailey backed away, intimidated by the woman that imprisoned her. "What do you want now? I already told you," said Bailey. "I don't know where Lukas' body is!"

"I'm not here for that." Said Lisa. "How would you like a clean slate? Clearing your record of any criminal activity; a fresh start."

"I don't need one because I shouldn't even be here!" screamed Bailey.

"Did you not tamper with Lukas' corpse?" asked Lisa.

"I didn't move it!"

"I didn't say 'move'," clarified Lisa. "I said, 'tampered', you know, for example, how you poured potion liquid on his corpse, trying in a futile attempt to bring him back from the dead?"

"I... may have done something like that." Bailey admitted.

"Then you tampered with evidence." Stated Lisa, making Baily flinch from her cold tone. "So not only did you lie to me, the Templar Commander of all people, but you just admitted that you did do something to his corpse, the only evidence we had to incarcerate the person who killed so many people that day."

"Jess," Bailey stated to which Lisa nodded. Who doesn't know the name of the infamous woman these days? "But other than that, I didn't do anything else!"
