Chapter 2
Queen Ravenna sat on her throne with the stupid prince by her side. The soldiers had us standing before the her.
"My brother tells me you are a widower, a drunkard." She said, looking down at my father. The queen looked at me and stood walking over to me. "What a pretty face. Hard to believe you're a huntress." I glared at her. She walked back to her throne. She smile lightly at my father. "You train your daughter?" My father nodded.
"To my understanding you are two of few who have ventured into the dark woods." Ravenna said. Yes we know that, we all went over this earlier. Father nodded hesitantly.
"One of my prisoners escaped." Ravenna confessed. No surprise.
"Then he's dead," father said.
"She." That witch corrected. I scoffed. "She is certainly dead then.
"Find her." She said calming tone. "Find her and bring her to me."
"Why should we?" I asked, holding my glare. "You will be rewarded handsomely." She smiled lightly and wickedly. "What good is gold? If we're going to be lying dead with the crows picking at our eyes?" Father challenged, he eyes the dark queen.
"Why is she valuable?" Father continued. "That doesn't concern you." She answered. I scoffed.
"If it's none of our concern, then why are we here?" I smirked.
"You will do this for me! Both of you!" Ravenna yelled, them room fells dead silent.
"And if we refuse?" Father challenged. Four spear point to his side. "Do me the favor, I beg you." My eyes widen and shook my head frantically. "No. You can't! You can't do that! I won't-"
"Silence!" Ravenna commanded.
I stopped and looked at her, then at my father. He shrugged lightly as an apology, I furrow my brows. The queen smirked. "So you both wish to be reunited with your wife," she looked at me. "And mother."
I looked down as my father tried to fight against the guard holding him down.
"You do not speak of her!" He yelled. Ravenna chuckled. "You miss her," she whispered. "What would you give to see her?"
"Nothing will bring her back." I snapped. Ravenna smile was faint. "What if I were to tell you that I can." I arch a brow. Father and I exchanged looks. "Bring me the girl and I'll bring back your beloved back. A life for a life." She finished. Soon after my father and I were let go to prepare for the hunt.
