Chapter 4


She saw him waiting there, and her heart quickened in anticipation. she knew he would be here. he turned around. he smiled.
"Aurin, why would you meet me in so gloomy a place as this? i thought surly a woman of your standards would have me in your palace, or have you forgotten that it was once mine"
Latoya didn't replie, but rather just lifted her gun and pointed it at his head. "your going to wish you had never come here father." she had expected him to at least show some sort of shock, even if it was rare for the king, but he kept his smile.
"if it ment seeing my daughter again, i wouldn't have missed it for the world." he still thought she was Aurin. as if Aurin would have the guts for-"Latoya" her eyes widened. of course he would know, she chided her self. how could he not? he actually liked aurin, and you couldn't never mistake a neglected child for a loved one, especially if you where their father.
"you know, i didn't think you would be stupid enough to show up, i thought you where too smart for that, but you've killed every thought i ever had about you. i thought you where honerable, then you gave the throne to Aurin, i thought you where worthy of the title king, then you gave the throne to Aurin. i thought you loved me, THEN YOU GAVE THE THRONE TO AURIN!" with each acusatin she had come a step closer to the man she had once called her father, until her gun was just out of reach to him.
"you know, father, you taught me that only a stable boy could miss at this range. and then only the stupid ones. i could kill you and you wouldn't be able to say a word against it." she tossed the gun behind her sholder. "but i won't. because even a slimy piece of filth like you dosen't deserve so quick a death." he would lunge for her soon, he probaly knew his only way out of the situation was to hold her hostiage. he was smart enough to know of all her soldiers that surrounded him.
he laughed. how dare he! "you have done well my daughter. you know, there where times when i thought you would end up like Aurin, a product of her own denial, traped by what she calls cleverness (???is that a word???)"
Latoya shut out the sound of his droning, and watched as Baden came up behind him to put the bag over his head. Latoya herself had mixed the cemical which had been worked into the bag, it would put him into something like a coma for the next seven cycles.
Latoya nodded to the captores, who handed her a thick evolpe, and turned to leave. Baden watched her go. he would be there to serve his "queen" in the morining, now he had to deliver his prize to those who would have it.

The man knocked her over the head as she walked by, and she dropped to the ground, unconcious. He knew not who she was, but only that she had called King Maccan 'father' to his face, and not been swated away.
She looked so like the girl attop the tower, who he knew was the Princess Aurin, that he knew she must be valuable. He would take her to Parkka, and they would find out who she was.
