The darkest story I have ever written, Return to Castle Night. This short story leades into Return to Castle Night Wolf.
The Lost of a Lover
By JJ
As the sun rose into the sky, the rage of a father could be heard through out the household. A secret that was never spoken of was uncovered. Angel heard her father’s voice and was scared of what he may do to her secret lover. She didn’t want her lover to die; after all she is carrying his child. She sat in her room waiting for her father to yell at her. Then he would find her lover and kill him on the spot. Her door to her room flew open and standing in the doorway was her father with a disappointed look on his face.
Her father was tall with long following hair, yellow eyes, and a temper that can not be define. Angel looks at the floor of her room as he approached her. He let out a heavy sigh, “Is it true, did you get pregnant by one of my men?” She looked up at him, “Yes, father.” His eyes became fill with rage, “Who did this to you? Was it Sergeant William, if it was; I’m going to kill him!” Angel shook her head, “No. It wasn’t Sergeant William. It was your Commanding Sergeant Major Alex Dilamore.” Her father gives her a confused look, “What?”
Angel fell before him, “It was Alex Dilamore, but please don’t kill I love and I need him to bring our child into this world. Please, father. Don’t kill him.” He kneels down to her, “Does he love you back?” Angel had tears running down her face, “Yes, we are secretly engage.” Her father’s anger melted away, “You’re engage and you didn’t tell me?” She hugs him tightly, “Because I didn’t know how you would take the news.”
The moon was full and the scene was playing over and over in Angel’s head as tears ran down her face. She ran through the forest with fear run through out her whole body. She was running away from her mother and father, because she feared for her life and child’s. A masked female killed her lover in front of her eyes. On top of that she was being case by assassins. Not only that, she was now six months into her pregnancy. There was too much fear and stress coming at her all at once.
As Angel got deep into the forest she started to get lost. Angel hid with the shadows and anywhere else she could fit. She finally got far enough away from her home, then started to slow and calm down. She knew that this was too much for her child to handle. Her child would never be born and this is what she feared the most. She sat under a tree and looked at the night sky, “Why is this happening to me?” She closes her eyes and started to cry, she thought her life would end in this forest.
Bells rang loud through out Castle Night Wolf; it was the wedding of the princess to the Commanding Sergeant Major of Shobeck’s army. The king and queen where there as well as the whole army and citizens of Castle Night Wolf. Shobeck walked Angel down the aisle with a big smile on his face. He was happy that his only child was getting married and he was going be a grandparent. He was also happy that his daughter picked an intelligent man to be her husband. He was gaining a great son in-law, even though he was going to kill him when he found out about them, but he was letting it go for now. It was his daughter’s wedding and nothing could ruin this special moment.
The wedding march filled the air, as Angel reached the altar. Alex stood there in his tuxedo with a smile. He reached out to her and took her paw into his. The minister looks at them, “We are gathered here today to bring Alex Dilamore and Angel Shobeck together in holy matrimony.” The minister takes out a scroll, “If anyone has any rejections or any reason why this two shall not be married will be kill by the king, if the groom does not take his daughter as his only wife in sickness and health. Through richness and poorness, the groom also will be killed by the king himself.” The minister puts the scroll down, “Now then, do you Alex Dilamore take Angel Shobeck as your wife?” Alex looks at the minister, “After hearing what will happen to me if I don’t say yes, I don’t think I have much of a choice.” A loud gasp by the witnesses echoed through out the church.
Shobeck gives an evil look at Alex. Alex laughed uncomfortably, “I was only kidding.” Angel leads over to him, “You’re digging your grave just to let you know.” Alex shrugged his shoulders, “I know and to answer your question, yes I do take her as my wife. My only wife.” The minister turns to Angel, “Do you Angel Shobeck take Alex Dilamore as your husband?” Angel looks at Alex, “I do.” The minister raises his arms, “In the power that is invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” Alex leads over to Angel and gives her a long kiss on the month.
Angel touched her lips and remembering how her husband’s kiss felt. She wiped her eyes, “I beg the higher powers, if this is my last night alive. Please take my child now.” A sudden pain went through her body. She grabbed her stomach and screamed in pain. Her screamed echoed through out the forest. She notices that she started to bleed, “No, not now.” Her breathing got heavier and the pains in her stomach got worst.
She was losing her child and there was noting she could do about it. Tears ran down her face as she pulled a little body from under her. She all knew what it was. Angel grabbed a sharp rock and cut the umbilicord. She looks at her lifeless baby, “I’m ready to join you, my child.” She lays her dead baby on the ground, as she heard heavy footsteps getting closer to her. She raised her arms over her head, “If you’re going to kill me let me see your faces as my last request.”
Four men in all back stepped into the opening. One man was a wolf, while the others where bobcats. The wolf pulled off his mask and Angel gasped. The wolf take that was about to take her life was her husband’s best friend. Angel looked at him, “Why are you doing this, Max?” Max looked at the ground, “I can’t answer that your highness.” He raises his gun at her, “I could only tell you that your death will be short and painless.”
The sound of a rifle going could be heard. Max fell back as blood flew out of his head. The three men left standing pulled out their guns, when they did this; six rifles went off. All three men hit the ground and where dead. Angel looks behind her and she saw a male Alaskan Husky sitting up in a tree with a sniper rifle. Fear ran through her as he climbed down the tree. The husky walks towards her, “Are you ok?”
Angel couldn’t answer him was because she in shock. She heard a lot of bad things about the rebel army. She though that this husk would kill her, if he knew who she was. She fell to her knees, “If you’re going to kill me, do it now.” The husky tilts his head, “Why would I want to kill you?” Angel looks at him with tears running down her face, “Because I’m form Castle Night Wolf.” The husk puts his paw out, “I won’t kill because you’re form Castle Night Wolf. I’m JJ Husk by the way. Sorry for not killing those men earlier, but since they are dead, now. It’s going to be ok, every thing will be ok.” JJ helps her back to her feet and leads her away from the dead bodies.
