Heart of Lies

“No, no threat, freak and where’s your boyfriend? He will not protect you this time so get out of my office and leave me,”

“Not without you telling me the truth. I will get to the heart of these lies,”

“Daniel, I am not lying to you when I say this, abandon the Queen if you know what is good for you,”

“Why attack her?”

“I am not the one attacking the Queen. I just know things. Do yourself, your family and your freakish boyfriend a favour and abandon the Queen,”

“I will not!”

Ares fell to the floor and started snoring.

I rolled my eyes. He passed out from the drink.

The door exploded open.

I span around.

Five men in black cloaks and swords in both hands walked in.

The air stunk of urine and sweat.

They slammed the door shut.

I whipped out my sword.

They charged.

I dodge the swings.

Leaping onto the desk, I kicked the parchment at them.

It blinded one man.

I jumped.

Kicking him to the floor.

His head cracked on the stone floor. Watering the ground with his blood.

The other men charged.

I met three blades with my sword.

Another blade lightly cut my arm.

My old arm wounds screamed.

I bit back the pain.

They swung again.

I dived out the way.

A hand grabbed me.

I screamed as loud as I could.
