Am I dead?
Could feel that it was more than one person dragging me on the floor until I stopped, and they released me. I got up quickly from the ground and looked around. Several Witches surrounded me, and it was an awkward moment. Felt like a fivesome was going to start soon.
"Eh! What is going on?" I asked around, but they kept looking behind me as I turned around and saw my body on the ground. For fuck sake, I am dead.
"Am I dead? I am dead, aren't I?
"STICK THE NEEDLE DOWN ON HIS HEART!" I heard Veronica's voice from a distance.
Veronica pushed herself through the crowd, with her beautiful silver hair and her bossy outfit, a short skirt beneath, let's hope for everyone's future that it goes up. She slammed the needle down on the left side of my chest, and I cringed a little bit as that was not a nice foreplay, more like a rough, unkind Witch with a sensual touch of madness.
"Take it easy there, Pinky!"
Veronica showed up, of course, with the high heels she always wears. She sat on me, and the pink Witch held my head up a little bit, and she started heart massage. Pink kissed, I mean, blew air as they tried to wake me up and get my heart to start beating again. Something wasn't right here; I feel uncomfortable. Turned around and looked past the Witches who were looking down on my body. A black circle opened up not far away, and I stared at it as a scythe suddenly appeared, with someone covered in a cloak. Why are the hands black? I leapt towards me, swinging the scythe as I bent backwards and fell on the ground. It tried again to swing from above, and I tried to use my hands to back away as the scythe hit the ground between my legs.
"WHAT IN THE FLYING BIRDSHIT! ARE YOU TRYING TO AIM AT MY CRICKET BALLS?"
It quickly took the scythe above its head to swing down towards my head when something in black and white jumped above my head and hit the psycho scythe maniac.
I saw a maid outfit in what appeared to be a fighting stance. I got up quickly when I saw Veronica's tears, as she kept going without stopping. I couldn't comfort her, as this was probably the end for me. I hope Zark doesn't get too angry at her. I moved to the Maid who was not the brat; this is a woman. The scythe hit the ground one time, and suddenly, they were two.
"For fuck sake! Can you guys be a little bit realistic when it comes to battles?"
The Maid gave me a gaze as I could see her red eyes, as she looked pissed when she said:
"Do not play around, Berk Fans In Pain! What you are looking at is the Grim Reaper; it is here to take your body, as your soul is not inside it. It is not you it came for, it is the 100Th Demon Army it came for, as we are doomed to Hell. Your heart needs to start beating, or your soul will get detached from your body, and you will lose your memory forever if the Reaper reaches your body."
I looked at her and slowly turned around and moved quickly in front of Victoria when one of her upper buttons got released, making me watch her grey bra…fuck I need to focus. There was some commotion on the other side, and the Maid was fighting. Victore rose and put her hair in a ponytail, shit, she means business now.
"KA KUH RAH MI TAM!" She screamed out in the air and slammed her fist on the ground beside my body as a light blue circle of fire surrounded my body. Without any time to rest, she continued the massage on my heart while the other Witch kept kiss…I mean, giving air to me.
Suddenly, the Maid's foot was beside me as she was down on her knees, looking exhausted.
"Can you hurry up, Van Pain? I do not have a long time until I disappear."
She got up and leapt toward the Reapers.
"COME ON, VERONICA, GET THE HEART TO BEAT!"
Everything turned black, and everyone had disappeared except for the Maid and the Reapers. My body started to float in the air as I slowly moved downward. I looked for the Maid when, suddenly, she was struck from the side, showing a skeleton hand from one of the Reapers as she fell unconscious. The Reapers morphed into one now, and it was moving towards me fast as it reached its hand out, when suddenly a light hit between us and my eyes opened up as I was back and I hit my head into a pillow, or it was actually Victoria's big…brah!. She grabbed my head so I wouldn't fall back and slowly placed me on the floor, and I wondered if she had changed her secretary's glasses to everyday glasses today; they looked like… not from an adult film anymore, but more like a nerd.
"You idiot! You scared me." She said, hugging me a little too hard.
Well, why would she be scared? I am doomed to die now. I killed a King.
"VERONICA SILVER COVEN!... Do you think this fire will keep the Valiant soldiers from reaching him? He only has death waiting for him." A woman, who uttered with apparent signs of grief, many citizens were crying, and you could not miss when some were making a lot of noise.
Veronica got up with her hands in the air and moved away from me, and I didn't have any energy left to try to turn my body in her direction.
"Was it necessary to bring this many soldiers here? It is not likely that he will have a chance to escape with all the fatal injuries he has, Sandra Von Volden?"
"I do not care! He needs to die." Sandra uttered.
"You do not give me a choice, Sandra! Let the Silver Coven take care of this."
"The Valiant Kingdom will never let anyone who has killed the king take care of the murderer. He needs to die, and we want to kill him right away so he does not have a chance to heal."
"You do not give me a choice then. I, VERONICA SILVER COVEN, FROM THE SILVER COVEN ORGANIZATION AND THE ONE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BERK'S ACTIONS, I ANNOUNCE THAT THE VAN POLAN FAMILY WISHES TO HAVE A HÉPÍNG. A GIVEN GIFT TO THE VAN POLAN FAMILY AFTER LARK VAN POLAN RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE MANY OF THE CITIZENS HERE IN PALADIN WOODS.
"Y…You can not do that, Veronica. You expect me to spare the murderer of the Valiant Kingdom, as I am without a husband, king, and father to our daughter now."
"Fine! I will cut the tie to the bird as an extra edition to the offer, and I will also offer a Zerkon spell to the Von Volden family."
It was quiet for a moment. Pinky was trying to focus on her damn pink ball while my left side injury was healing.
"What is Heping?" She whispered to the Witch on my right side.
"Sch! It is the word for peace in Chinese. From what I heard, that was the gift the Valiant Kingdom gave to the Van Polan family after Lark disappeared. The gift is that they can do whatever they wish in the Kingdom. I never thought anyone would use it, but because Veronica knew the word that was supposed to be a code, she activated the gift by screaming it into the air so other citizens could hear it, as negotiations began now, and others listened in. That way, the Queen can not cheat on the deal." The light green Witch whispered back to Pinky, who nodded like a newbie, not knowing anything. I didn't know either what the Hell was going on behind me, but it sounds like they will broker some deal.
"Okay, we will only accept this condition. Berk's imprisonment will be in our building, a Zarkon blood contract needs to be in place forever, and the condition is only to keep him alive without breaking any bones."
"Sounds a little bit unfair, my Queen. Then we will choose who will have the blood contract." Veronica countered.
"I will be the one who will carry his curse."
"No deal! You are aging, my Queen, even if you still look young. Isabella is the only condition that we will agree on that the blood contract will be with."
"You want my daughter to wear the curse of the one who killed her father. I beg your pardon for saying this, but are you completely out of your mind, Veronica?"
"I think it is fair, because Berk is the one carrying the heaviest part of the curse. If your daughter's heart stops, then Berk's heart will stop as well. If Berk's heart stops, nothing happens to your daughter; it is a fair deal."
It was quiet again for a moment before an answer came from the Queen.
"That is a deal!"
"BUT MOM! HE KILLED DAD. WHY DO WE SPARE FILTH LIKE HIM?" A girl in anger screamed.
"Silence!" The Queen uttered when several footsteps slowly started to move away.
"Oh!... I forgot! Listen to what the announcer will say!" Sandra said.
"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT. THE KING OF VALIANT HAS PASSED AWAY, MURDERED BY BERK VAN POLAN. FROM THE VAN POLAN FAMILY, HE IS A WANTED MAN AND WITH COLLABORATION TOGETHER WITH HELL, VALIANT, EARTH, AND HEAVEN. THE BOUNTY IS SET TO 600 BILLION RANDID TO THE ONE WHO WILL CATCH HIM. I REPEAT! 600 BILLION RANDID IS A REWARD FOR WHOEVER CATCHES OR KILLS BERK VAN POLAN. EVERYONE IS ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HUNT. PICTURE OF BERK VAN POLAN WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON." The announcement echoed all over.
"We need to get him out of here before citizens and others come, as soon as they know his face, everyone may be trying to kill him," Veronica said.
"But, why is there an announcement for Berk for murder? Isn't he already in the Queen's own prison?"
"She did this to make sure that nobody tries to break him free from prison, and also, if he escapes, everyone will know what he looks like, so hunting him down will become very easy, as it will be impossible for him to hide with a bounty like that on his head."
Fuck my life, maybe it would have been better if I had died instead.
