Til Death Do Us Part - Red Queen Fan Fiction

Chapter 85 - Execution

Cameron POV

The light is hard to adjust my eyes to. I don't know if I am dead, or alive. I don't actually know what is happening. It smells...clean. Hospital. My eyes adjust to a white light above my head. Its long and rectangular and I wish it would turn off right now. My freaking eyes.

"She's waking up" I hear someone say. Sounds like Julian. Julian is in Norta, it can't be. We never made it to Norta. We were attacked. Oh no, we were attacked. I remember the blood, the pain. Crying and screaming. Mare. Where is Mare? "Shhh, its ok, you need time" Julian's voice again. My eyes finally begin to see clearly, as Julian's face is in front of me. Then Sara. Then Mare. Her eyes are wide, her face has gashes all over it. Oh no. What happened. I try to speak, but nothing comes out.

"It's ok Cam, everything is ok" Mare's voice. "We all made it alive. We made it" she sounds exhausted. She looks horrible. She looks like she was struck by lightning.

Everything goes dark again.

Tramy POV

Mare held her in her arms, crying. The cries turning into angry screams. The screams turned into silence.

I never thought I would see that side of Mare, but I did. She dropped Cameron onto the floor. She got up, dragging her feet towards the battlefield. Our soldiers were fighting, tirelessly. Caleb called Mare's name, and so did Cal. But she didn't hear.

Mare froze, watching far back the leader of the green and white flag. It wasn't a King, but a familiar face. And that is when she went crazy. She unleased a large amount of lightning, like we have never seen. She killed so many people, and her body was engulfed in the strike. Cal yelled out, but he could do nothing. She was so angry, she even injured some of our men.

When she finally killed enough men, she stalked towards the man left standing. He had white hair, and dark eyes. He smiled, cold and uncaring.

"Why are you laughing!" Mare yelled at him, but he kept laughing, until she struck him with enough lightning to knock him out cold.

Mare POV

After I visit Cameron, and know she is alive and well, I head to the jail cells. Cal is there, and the look in his eyes is exhausted.

We haven't even had the chance to sleep, or shower. We left straight after the fight back to the Lakelands. It was the quickest way. We took a plane to Norta, where a healer sat with Cameron, giving her enough blood and energy to survive the trip. When we got to Norta, Sara was there to help bring Cameron back from the brink of death.

"Is he awake?" I ask Cal, but he shakes his head. He looks equally as exhausted. Blood stains his clothes.

"Not yet. Still out" he replies. I look into the cells, and I can't help the anger that threatens to overtake me again. In the cell, is the person who attacked my family, all of us. He attacked the King of Norta and the Lakelands. He is an enemy. The man would die, and I regret not doing anything sooner.

"I should have killed him the first time" Cal says, and I can hear the blame in his voice. He blames himself for this. I don't blame him. He should have, but we won't make the same mistake twice.

"Did you tell Evangeline?" I ask, needing to know if she would be a problem.

"You didn't hear?" Cal says to me, and it's my turn to look confused. "He tried to kill Elane before he came for us" I gasp.

"What?" Why would he do that. "Is she?"

"She survived, barely. He stabbed her several times, but the guards found her bleeding to death. Evangeline is on her way here, to deal with him" he looks back at the man and so do I. Volo. Volo Samos.
