So It Begins - Chapter 100

After the party, Kristen hadn't heard from her guard. She started to wonder if he succeeded in taking Annabell and Jamie's lives from this world. As she made her way down the corridor, she ran into James.

 

"Oh, how nice it is to see you, my son. I was just on my way to meet up with your father. The wedding was a success, and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. I haven't seen Annabell or Jamie in a while. Have you seen them recently?" Kristen asked James.

"Oh, they went with Nolan to see his family for a few days," he replied. "How nice, I'm sure they will enjoy that. I'm going to head now. Tell Amelia goodnight for me," she replied as she walked down the corridor.

She made sure no one was looking when she made her way down to the dungeon. She had told him to hide their bodies in the dungeon, so she figured that would be the first place to look.

When she arrived, she saw a pool of blood in the crumpled up hay. Someone had to be dead to have lost that much blood. Now all she had to do was find the bodies.

Following the blood trail, she was lead to a cell.

She was expecting to see Annabell and Jamie's bodies in the hay, but instead, she found the guard dead. She found more blood but no more bodies. What could have happened to them, she thought to herself. Panic started to build up inside her as she made her way back up to the castle's main floor.

"I should have had you do this in the first place. I have a situation that's not to be talked about. In the dungeon, I had a dead guard and blood on the floors. Cover the blood up and get rid of his body," she demanded.

"Then, when I locate the two that I want to be killed, you will kill them and get rid of their bodies. If you fail, you will end up like the guard in the dungeon. Do I make myself clear," Kristen asked.

"Yes, my queen, I'll get it all taken care of. As soon as I'm done, you can tell me where they are," he replied.

Meanwhile, Nolan and Annabell were coming up with a plan of their own for the queen's fate.

"I think I know exactly what we need to do. We are going to need a few spells for this," he told Annabell as he opened his book and searched through it.

"First, we will need a spell to hide your identity. You need to look like one of her trusted ladies. We will need this spell that will put her in a trance, so she can't respond but can see and hear you. This will make her appear like she's fallen ill from poison. Then you're going to love this one. This one will make it to where you can go into her dreams. There you can control what she sees and feels. This is where you can make her suffer the most, and no one will know what's going on. It will appear that she's asleep. Then after you have had your revenge, we will then poison her to death," he told Annabell. "Your brilliant, and that's why I love you so much," Annabell told him as he continued to work on the potions.

Kristen and William were eating their dinner alone, with only a few servants serving them. It was a nice evening after the wedding of Arthur and Willow. Inside, Kristen was brooding and trying to hide what was going on in her head. She was not sure if her plans would backfire on her or if she was going to get caught.

After dinner, Kristen and William talked when, suddenly, Kristen became lightheaded as the room swirled around her. Weak at her knees, the room goes dark.

Kristen hit the floor with a thud, lying lifeless for a few minutes as William tried to wake her.

After a few moments, she stirs awake, with her head still feeling fuzzy. William helps Kristen to her feet. "Are you alright?" William asks with concern. "Yes, I guess It's been a long day. I'm going to lay down for a little while. I'll see you in a little while," she replies as she heads to her room.
