I Need You
Chapter 9 is up!
I enter Mary's room, looking solemn. She comes towards me, happy that I finally came to see her, I had not seen her since the stillborn. She looks into my face and frowns, " Anne, what is it?" I breathe in and announce to her, "Lady Mary, I have come to deliver a message from the King. He says your presence is required in court immediately." "Why?" she says, bewildered. I move quickly towards her and say in a low whisper,"I don't know, Mary. I am just as curious as you are" I step back as guards enter and seize her. "What are you doing?" she demands as they drag her away. I walk quickly after them, not liking the way that this was going.
I sit on the throne as the door opens and the guards drag Mary in with Anne walking behind, a frown set firmly on her face. She sits down as Mary is thrown in front of me, her eyes full of un shed tears. "Father," she cries, "Father, what is this?" I stand up, looking at her coldly, "Lady Mary, I have decided to send you to the Tower of London. You will await sentence in the dungeon." The tears finally fall from her eyes as she sobs in front of me. I can see that Anne is crying too, but continue to pursue Mary. "Father, what did I do? What have I done?" she sobs, raising her head to look at me. "That is none of your concern, Lady Mary." I nod to the guards and they grab her, taking her away to the tower.
After Mary is taken, Henry dismisses the court and turns to look at me. I stand up, tears running down my face. "Why?" I say softly, looking right into his eyes, "What has she done to you? She was the pearl of your world." He looks startled and says," Anne, you know full well she is illegitimate, and I have reason to believe she is a witch." I suddenly understand. " You are using the same false charges that you used to order my execution." I say quietly, "Henry, you are a- a-a" I struggle to find the right words to describe it. "A MURDEROUS OLD TYRANT! WHY DO YOU WANT RID OF MARY? SHE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG!" Henry looks shocked as I make to leave the room but then says, "Where are you going?" I stop and turn around to face him. "I am taking my 3 children away, where they can not be harmed by you!" "Three?" says Henry. I smile and say, "Yes Henry, three. Elizabeth, Edward and the Lady Mary." I turn and walk away. "You cannot take the Lady Mary, she is a prisnor to me." Henry says. "Yes," I reply slowly, "And if you do not release her, I will divorce you without a second thought."
Hey, so I hoped you liked this chapter. Anne and Mary are my two favourite characters so I made this scene in tribute to them. I also thought I should add a Anne and Henry fight in here because their marriage has been almost too normal for a while. Reviews are welcome! xxx
