(Welcome one and all readers there are a few things needed to be said, first I'd like to thank every single one of you helps push me to continue every single review notification brings a smile to my face. I'd like to give some credit to where ideas have come, cause I sadly forgotten to acknowledge them. First if you've noticed I've made some history references with some historical characters out of time(I'm a huge history nerd). With Theo being inspired by theodore roosevelt and The Polar bear king being Czar nicholas II of russia the one that was overthrown and killed during the bolshevik revolution. I'm a huge fan of assassin's creed so nicks weaponry is well idealized around that. Next but not least I have to give credit for the characters of Robyn and Marian Wilde they are from one of my favorite fanfiction writers stories crewefox otherwise known as Garouge Faux and his story Take A Stand, and one final thing I'm trying to keep to a schedule to keep one chapter per week but have been having life get in the way. I've had things keep coming up and preventing me from writing. So you understand the gravity of what pulled me away from my writing. Outside of school and work I've had to look after my younger brothers during our parents nasty divorce that hasn't gone smoothly. I will spare you further details and with that I hope to get back to one chapter a week and please enjoy and sorrry again..)
Chp. 10
The moon shown full as the castle of Bunny Hollow was lit with burning torches among its walls. In the middle of the courtyard. There were two hangman nooses holding Skye and Jack around the necks waiting to be the only things holding them up as Allister held the lever to let the floor out from under them. The castle in the background finally stopped burning but still emitting a smoke from some of the windows. Jack and the rest of Skye's rangers were sat in the yard watching the presentation with disgust and sadness. While being held at sword/pike point.
"Hey Jack?" Ser Allister piped up "when your you know gone"(making a dead expression with his face)"do you think it'd be alright if a kept a rabbit foot necklace of you, to bring luck of course."
"Allister how about I shove my foot somewhere else" Jack replied with a snarl.
"Oh i'm so scared Jacky" Alister retorted then went to monologue a giant speech to the crowd of his soldiers and the captive ones, but Jack was now focused on something more important than a crazed power hungry lord. He was focused on skye. He loved her more than he cared to admit. He never thought after losing one family he'd come find a new one only to be losing them again. He never wanted to admit he had grown attached to skye. He wanted a life with her, to be with her. "I know I'm not much of a prayer but whatever there is after death may I spend it with skye, cause today is not the day I accept nothing as an end and if that is the case. I ain't leaving this world so easy I will haunt the shit out of Allister and I will threaten whatever sanity he has left" This Jack promised and vowed if it were to end tonight. He looked towards the beautiful white fixen even with a beat up look she looked strong, confident, and certain of all things in her situation. He had to tell her.
"Umm… Skye?" Jack asked with a slight shaken voice.
"Uhh yea your going to have to tell me later sweetheart" Skye responded with a serious tone"
"What do you mean later " Jack asked now confused at why.
But he didn't get to ask again. Allister finished up his monologue readying the lever saying " Well It's been a fun game but some pawns have to go" pulling the lever.
Jack and skye didn't even feel the tug of the rope as two knives came out from the darkness and cut the ropes. Smoke bombs filled the air as Nick appeared from the cloud cutting the two from the tied rope keeping them still. The sounds of steel and iron clashing. With a echoing sound of bodies falling.
Allister was dumbfounded by all of what was happening around him. He started backing up away only to find his ears were adjusting to one particular sound coming from the smoky fog. Judy and Nick's figures appeared from the fog while judy's axe/spear looked freshly sharpened.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Allister never thought you'd give me a real reason to beat the living shite out of you" Nick said with a cold glare. Nick said this while stepping closer sword drawn. Only to be stopped by judy who stopped him with a paw.
"Nick we both deserve justice but I need this right now. For my House and Kingdom." Judy pleaded with Nick. Nick accepted he would do everything and anything for her, and an opportunity to see the deadly force of an axe used against Allister seemed almost joyous.
"Draw your sword Allister" Judy said with a sharpness to her voice.
Allister did as he was told. Both now dead serious. Allister and Judy charged at each other. Allister tried jabbing the sword forward but Judy caught him and sent him flying using the momentum. Then proceeding to send the butt end of the shaft into Allister's spine causing him to stagger. He turned around sending waves of side swipes with his sword at Judy. Judy used the axe to flip his sword and give him a swift kick to the chest. When going in for his second attack throwing the sword overhand while judy blocked the attack. Allister drove a knife into her back. Judy cried out in pain and was immediately allowing her anger to fuse with the adrenaline pulled away Allister's sword and broke it in half. After doing this she drove the spear part deep into Allister's chest. Once he fell to his knees now looking up at her.
"Guess I gave you that dance you wanted" Judy said with a angry laugh, along with a swing from the axe came with it the decapitated head of who is now known as Ser Allister the Awful.
Now walking over to make sure their friends were ok. Nick talked first " Is everything alright?"
"Thank you guys for thinking of us but Nick, Judy we should tell you-" Skye started feeling guilty as though it was her fault.
"We know, We saw there heads on pikes out on the front gate." Judy finished solemnly.
"Even in death my mother looks peaceful, and calm. While my father looks like he should be have a better pike" Nick chuckled with a few tears coming down his eyes.
"I think we need a minute" Nick finished taking judy away from the group
Jack and Skye could only nod their understanding. As the couple who lost a lot in a short time left. Nick and judy went to a quiet part of the courtyard. Seeing all of the browning soldiers being taken away some body's being removed as Wilde troops started clearing things up, and attending to the rest of the rangers and any injuries.
Nick and Judy ended up at a quiet corner with a fallen banner of the Wilde and Hopps logo together supporting each other fallen more on the Hopps side. Judy dropped the axe and fell into Nick's arms crying.
"I've lost … eve-ever-everything" Judy sobbed remembering her brother and parents. Along with the days she spent in the not so gory castle.
Nick Though feeling the heartbreak of his own knowing he had to be the strong one now just like his father was when Ryan passed away.
"You haven't lost me." Nick said bringing Judy in closer. His shirt taking on judy's tears. "And we have to be strong we've lost a lot but we now are the mammals our people will turn to." Nick finished a couple tears in his eyes trying to hold them back for her.
"You're right and I'm sorry you lost your parents as well. I Jus-Just don't know how I lost so much so quickly. I'm afraid Nick"
"Of what" Nick ask consoling her and kneeling now to have her head rest on his shoulders.
"Of the minute where I turn around Skye and Jack are on there own Pike, and you are gone. While I have no idea where you went how you would die. Just gone. I CAN NOT lose anymore" Judy said sobbing still with a serious tone breaking now and then to let tears go.
"I would Never EVER. Leave you like that. I will give everything for you, Because you are everything to me." Nick said now letting himself to cry. Both held each other tight fearing the other one would disappear if to let go. Soldiers left them alone knowing the burden now on their shoulders. They now were a King and a Queen fighting a war no one should have to fight.
(I cried a little writing this one and now they have to organise their kingdoms in all out war. Finnick will now play a larger part. Hope you all enjoy I will try getting back to a chapter per week basis. Please favorite and review see you all next time.)
