Chapter 8
At the palace dungeon's in the torture chamber Puck was still tied on the rack only this time they had captured Blaine and two prison keepers were holding him so he wouldn't escape. "We know you are the prince." said Sebastian Blaine shook his head "I am not the prince. I'm nothing but a strolling player, Your Majesty, and my friends are innocent." he said and turn his head towards Puck "That man mistook them." "Not me." he protested "I know they're the men who attacked me." Just then an old lady walked in the door with a guard at her side. "We'll get to the truth soon enough." the queen said. The old lady stood between Sebastian and the queen and curtsied.
"Old women, you were the nurse to the young Prince Charming before his disappearance." she said. The old women nodded "I was, Your Majesty, for all of his five years." replied the old women. "If he still lived, would you still recognize him?" she asked. "At once, Your Majesty. He had a birthmark like a crescent right here on his chest." she said as she pattered the left side of her chest.
Blaine froze he never took notice of the mark until now with his left hand he tried to reach for his collar but guard held his arm tighter. Sebastian eyed the queen and then walked over to Blaine and yanked open his shirt and there it was the same place as the old women described.
"That very mark. He is the prince." the old women shouted she walked towards him and kneeled "Your Highness! Your Highness!" she exclaimed kissing his left hand. Sebastian crossed his arms "I think that removes all doubt, Your Majesty." he said. "To the dungeon with him." she ordered. The guards dragged him towards the door where the head guard Will was standing Blaine struggled against there hold but they were too strong. When they left the room will closed the door and thought "The rightful King." he said.
The two guards led Blaine down below a flight of stairs and turned a corned to the first holding cell. Outside it sat on a middle aged man he sat up and unlocked the door as soon it was open the guards pushed Blaine inside. The door then quickly shut and locked Blaine then sat down on the little stool that stood near the window.
After sitting down a few moments later he heard a familiar whistle. He stood up on the stool and looked out the window. Outside were some servants bringing in the daily delivery in the middle was a man in a moustache rolling a cart of fresh vegetables. He then pulled off the moustache and it was Wes he pointed towards Blaine and then behind him he then put the moustache back on and continued walking trying not to draw attention.
Wes then reach the royal kitchen he knocked on the door. The door opened and out came the royal chef. "About time you got here." he said. "Fresh vegetables for the queen's table." he announced. "Yeah. Just get in here." Wes rolled the cart behind the table freshly baked pies layed. On another were two other chefs peeling potatoes.
"What happened to the regular man?" the chef asked "A crate of onions upset him." Wes replied. The chef looked at him puzzled "You mean he ate a whole crate full?" he asked. "No, it fell on him." Wes then walked away from the cart towards the table. "Good. The last lot of onions he sent me even a pig wouldn't eat." Wes shrugged his shoulders "Maybe yo just weren't hungry." he said.
The chef then went back to cutting the meat. Wes then eyed the table and spotted a rolling pin he picked it up and hid it behind his back. He then slowly tiptoed behind the head chef "Ready to unload?" he asked. "Unload? I leave that sort of thing to my underlings. Hans. Fritz. Unload the vegetables." Wes was just about to hit him over the head when the two chefs turned around with his quick thinking Wes put the rolling pin to his mouth. The two chef looked at him weirdly "A few holes and this would make a fine flute." he said.
The two just looked at each other and shook their heads and walked over to the cart "You get the pumpkins" one of them said. As they started to unload Nick and Jeff quickly stood up and knocked them both on the heads with hammers. The chef heard the commotion and turned around. "Hey. What's going on there?" he yelled. Wes then picked up one of the pies and slammed it in his face. "I'll make goulash out of you varlets. Where are you?" Wes then picked up another pie slamming it in his face again. "Come here and stand. Stand and fight." Nick then picked up a pie and slammed it in the chef's face followed by Jeff. Just as Nick went back to pick up another pie Wes had picked up a saucepan hitting him on the head knocking him unconscious. All three of them then stripped the cooks clothes and put them on now was the time to go save Blaine.
When they arrived at the dungeons a guard opened the door for them. "At ease, my man" said Wes. "Salutations." said Nick. "Ad infinitum." said Jeff. Wes was carrying a plate with a cup and a huge sandwich. "Food for the prisoner." he said approaching Blaine's cell. The man outside the cell stopped him. "You've come to the wrong cell. This man is to be executed." "On an empty stomach! Don't be so unpatriotic." said Wes. The man just waved his arm. "Ah! I don't hold with all this molly coddling."
He turned around and started to unlock the cell door but stopped and turned back around. "Hey! How come a while loaf of bread for just one man?" he questioned. Wes had to think luckily Jeff answered "Because it's he last meal. Now if it were me, I'd start off with oysters and white wine..." Nick then elbowed him to stop talk.
The man pointed to the sandwich "What is this obnoxious concoction?" he asked. "That's a sandwich surprise." said Wes. "Yeah, for then man who's eaten everything." said Nick. He then opened the sandwich "Well, what are you trying to do, poison him?" he said. "Poison him?" Nick said. "That's the finest food in the queen's kitchen." said Wes.
The man then grabbed the sandwich before putting it in his mouth Nick slapped his hand "Hey that's not for the help." He then bit the sandwich sudden he screamed and open the sandwich again "A file! Guards!" Wes then smacked him over the head with the platter and then unlocked the cell door.
"Get him in there guys." Wes said as Nick and Jeff dragged the man body inside the cell and locked it. "Nice work, boys. Quick, follow me the ran up the flight of stairs suddenly the door opened and two guards entered. "Run! Go back." said Blaine "After them." A guard yelled.
Blaine quickly found an axe and fought with the captain he chased him up the stairs. With the axe he managed to block some of the attack he then swung the axe almost hitting the captain but he ducked. He then managed to disarm him now with no sword he could strike, Blaine was just about to swing again when suddenly an arrow pierced the right side of his chest. He then fell breaking a shelf and then fell to the ground. The guard walked down the stairs towards Blaine he lifted his hand then let go it fell down it was lifeless. He then picked up his sword and went to the mountebanks.
As the trio ran down a corridor Jeff saw an armed statue he thought it was a real one and jumped. Nick and Wes were behind him "Blaine. Where's Blaine?" he asked. They went to turn around only to come face to face with more guards. "Back we go. Come on." he said. There was no else else to go before descending a flight of stairs Wes noticed a hanging curtain. "Wait. Come on." One by one the trio jumped into the curtain and hid. Just in time the guards and past them the captain ran down the stairs only to find the queen and Sebastian there.
"What is the meaning of this uproar?" she commanded. "Those three mountebanks tried to rescue the prince, Your Majesty. But they'll never get away alive." he said. The queen looked worried "The prince? Has he escaped?" she asked. The captain smirked "Oh, no, not him, Your Majesty. He's as good as dead.
The trio could hear the conversation below when they heard "dead" they gasped. "Dead? The prince? Are you sure?" they heard Sebastian say. "Yes, my lord. I was about to cleave him with my sword, when one of my archers felled him with an arrow. "Bravely done. I shall reward you all. Now, bring me Kurt. I want him found before nightfall. Do you understand, Captain? Before nightfall." The captain bowed to her "Yes, Your Majesty." They then parted their ways.
In the curtain the trio were very they had a friend that felt like a son to them. "Blaine." said Jeff wiping his eyes. "We better go back and see." said Wes then he quickly came to his senses "No. We gotta get to Kurt before the do. Come on." he said. Nick then found a rope. "Here. Slide down here." he said. As he pulled on the rope the curtain came lose and they toppled out of it. Suddenly Sebastian then came out from behind the curtain he quickly pulled out his sword. "Ho, guards. Here are your villains." he yelled.
With the hammer in his hand Jeff hit Sebastian in the leg he dropped his sword and clutched his leg. Jeff then quickly picked up the sword and Wes pushed Sebastian to the floor. "Guards! Guards, stop them! My sword. My magic sword."
Back when Blaine layed thank god Will spotted him "The prince." he said to one of the guards. They both ran down the stairs Will then placed his head on Blaine's chest. "Thank god, his heart still beats. We must hide him." he said. "That tunnel. It leads to the other side of the moat." said the guard. "Help me with him." said Will. They both picked Blaine up "Be careful." said Will.
Wes, Nick and Jeff quickly arrived back at the cottage "Whoa! Stop." said Wes. Upon hearing the wagon Kurt open the door Jeff was the first person he saw "Kurt." he said. "What happened? Where's Blaine." Wes and Nick then came closer "It's you that is in danger, Kurt. We're just one jump ahead of the queen's soldiers. Kurt gasped. "Quick. Come with us." said Jeff and grabbed Kurt hand. "I'll get your cape so they won't know you were here." said Nick and went into the cottage.
Wes and Jeff lead Kurt to the back of the wagon "Inside, Kurt, and keep well out of sight." Nick then appeared. "You, get in there and hide him. And keep these doors locked." They then quickly closed the door ran to the front of the wagon jumped on and off they went. "Ok! Come on boys go." Said Wes slapping the ruins as hard as he could. Suddenly the queens soldiers spotted them.
"There they go." said the captain. Nick watched from inside the wagon "I knew it. Here they come." he said Wes pushed the horse to go faster "Come on! Give it all you got!" he yelled. "Even if you haven't got it!" yelled Jeff. "Faster. They're gaining on us. Up ahead was a massive tree they could hide behind just as they were out of sight the soldiers passed. Wes was happy "They didn't see us." he said "Turn around. Go back, Quick" said Jeff." Nick then opened the curtain "Take the ocean road." he said. They quickly turned around and sped off in the opposite direction.
As the soldiers went further down the road suddenly a huge fallen tree branch was blocking their way. They stop "Turn, turn, they've tricked us." said the captain. "They saw us turn. They're still after us." said Nick looking out the window. "How far back are they?" asked Wes "They're way back, but they're coming fast. Go." Nick yelled.
Suddenly the came close to a cliff and Wes stopped the horses. Nick came out of the wagon "Why are we stopping for?" he asked. "Unhitch the horses, quick." said Wes. "What's the idea?" said Jeff. "Just do it, will you? We gotta get rid of this wagon." said Wes. They weren't to far behind. Wes quickly hid Kurt behind heavy over grown shrubs as soon Kurt was out of sight he ran back to Nick and Jeff.
"Are they loose?" he asked. "All set." yelled Jeff as he unbuckled the last strap. "Sorry, old timers. It's every man for himself. Go." Wes said as he slapped both of the horses. They all went to the back of the wagon ans started to push. "Hurry up. Heave." Slowly the wagon came closer to the edge then finally it went over, smashing into the rocks and water below.
Just as the soldiers were getting closer they quickly his in the shrubs with Kurt. The soldiers approached the cliff and jumped off their horses. "Shh" whispered Wes. The captain and another guard peered over the side and saw the wagon in pieces. "See any sign of life?" asked the captain. "After a fall like that. There's not a chance." said the guard.
The captain smiled "We have faithfully served our queen. Back to the palace." he said. They jumped back on their horses and rode back to the palace. As they were out of sight Kurt and the trio breathed a sigh of relief. "Are we safe now?" asked Kurt. "No Kurt. You won't be safe until you get out of this country for good." said Wes. "And there's no time like the present." said Jeff. "Let's go." said Nick.
Kurt held up his hands and stopped them "Without Blaine?" he said sadly. "Please Kurt, we're trying to do what he'd want us to do. Don't make it too hard for us." said Wes. "I can't run away while he's still in danger." said Kurt. "But he'd want you to. Don't you see that?" said Wes. "We would die for you Kurt. Please trust us." said Jeff.
"I'm sorry, but I can't go anywhere until I know he's... "HARK" Wes called out cutting Kurt off. He peered though an open to hear what the sound was and sure enough it was another group of guards heading towards them. "Another search party." he said. "And now we're really done for." said Nick.
"What do we do?" said Kurt. Jeff then placed his hand on the sword he stole from Sebastian. "I wish we could say ''Allesabai'' and be on top of the highest mountain in the whole world. Suddenly the sword glowed and thunder crashed and next thing they know they are on a snow mountain and they were freezing.
"Are we still alive?" asked Jeff patting his chest. "Of course we're still alive. Otherwise, we wouldn't be freezing to death." said Wes waving his arms around his body. "It was Jeff, ''The highest mountain in the world'' he said, and we're on it.
"You had to say the highest." scolded Nick. Wes then went to the edge and yelped and it echoed all around them. He then walked over to Jeff. "All right, lamebrain, you got us up here. Now get us down." he said. Kurt then noticed the sword hanging on Jeff's belt. "That sword, where did you get it?" he asked.
"Souvenir from Count Sebastian." he said proudly. "Count Sebastian? Then it must be the Sword of Power." said Kurt. "The what." said Nick and Wes at the same time. "The magic Sword of Power. Whoever hold it in his hand and wishes, his wish is instantly granted. Jeff's eyes widened in surprise "Do tell. Now it's mine. I'm a hero. I saved us all. You may touch my sleeve." he said holding out his arm to Wes who just slapped it away. "I'll touch your nose with my fist if you don't wish us off this mountain."
"Keep your distance peasant. I am valuable." said Jeff he then pulled out the sword and held it out at arms length "O mighty Sword. I wish us to be in a nice warm house with a great big blazing fire. The swords glowed again snow swirled all around and thunder crashing in the sky.
Now they were in a nice house with a huge fireplace they all sat around it warming up. "I never thought I'd ever be warm again." said Wes. "I'm a genius, that's all. A genius. There's nothing I can't do." said Jeff happily. Kurt was sitting on a rocking chair and turned towards Jeff.
"Then please, Jeff, wish for Blaine to be here too." Kurt pleaded. Jeff then looked at Wes. "I'm afraid we can't do that, Kurt." Kurt looked upset didn't they care about Blaine. "Why not? I thought you were his friends."
"We are, but... You tell him, Wes said Nick as he got up off the floor. "Well, its like this" he began "Blaine wouldn't want us to wish him here." he said. Kurt was confused "Of course he would."
Wes then kneeled down and took Kurt's hand. "It's no good, Kurt, we just can't lie to you anymore. Not even to make things a bit easy for you." Kurt then leaned forward. "Tell me the whole truth, please." Kurt said softly. Wes shook his head "None of us will be seeing Blaine anymore." Kurt struggled to asked the next question "The queen killed him?" he said.
Wes sadly nodded his head then dropped his head he could look at Kurt he felt like he let Kurt and Blaine down. Kurt slowly rose from the rocking chair and walked like a zombie out the front door. "Ought we go after him?" asked Jeff. "No. What could we do?" said Nick. Wes the stood up from the floor "He wants to be alone."
Outside the freshly fallen snow was so beauty and soft but Kurt did care he didn't care about anything anymore now that his beloved Blaine was gone. Up ahead was a lake that had frozen from the cold it reminded Kurt of when he used to skate back home. Back when he father was alive and he was happy now could never be happy. He then collapsed on the snow and began to cry he had lost so much in his life and he never felt so alone.
