True Love Chapter 8. Buffy has 'killed' the heart of her true love. Liam is King and will be making some changes in the kingdom. Who will stop him before one of the changes he makes leads to death?
Liam is sending out the guards to pillage the townspeople. All he wants is their price possessions and their money.
The town's people run away from the guards. Those people who refuse to give anything suffer the penalty. They will be put in the dungeon for the Three of Torture to continue to make their machines better with each test subject that they would use.
In one of the towns peoples homes, enters two people who seem to try to hide from the guards. As soon as they reach some shelter they would be fine. When they enter the old home there was two women standing by the fireplace then from another room came a man. They all bowed and got on their knees.
"Please there is no need for that," says Giles as he comes over to the people. "Please stand." He gives the people a reassuring smile.
"What's going on out there?" ask the man of the house.
"My stepson has taken over." Giles looks through one of the windows and sees people running for their freedom, which is something Liam would not have. Jenny goes over to Giles and grabs his hand. Giles turns to her and looks into her eyes. The two women who have not spoken looked at what just occurred then looked at each other.
"Isn't there a way to stop him?" ask the man. "You are king. You have the power..."
"Not anymore," says Giles interrupting. He sighs. "Liam, he had this planned all along. I was a pond in his game and my people are the casualties of war."
"Rupert there has to be a way," says Jenny still holding his hand. "You can't let Liam win. You have to fight back."
"I don't know if I could possibly do that Jenny," says Giles. "I'm afraid it's too late."

Meanwhile in lavatory of the three stooges, they have Xander tied up unto a chair with wires popping out everywhere. Xander wakes up and struggles in the chair.
"Whoa, hold on." says Warren. "We're getting to you as soon as the machine warms up."
"Who are you?" ask Xander still struggling. "I'm Warren and these are my followers Andrew and Jonathan." Warren points at the two other guys trying to make their machine work.
"What are you going to do with me?"
"Well, you my friend..."
"I'm not your friend!"
"Okay," says Warren. "You'll be our first test subject for our creation."
"Creation?" Warren points at the machine behind Xander. Andrew gives Warren a remote control. He nods to his friend and looks at Xander.
"Yeah, this is the wave of the future," says Warren. He begins to walk toward Xander with the remote control in his hand. Xander begins to follow the remote control in Warren's hand as he moves it around making gestures while talking to Xander.
"It's ready Warren," says Andrew. Warren nods his head and smiles at Xander.
"Well, you going to see...I mean feel what this machine can do."
"Warren you need to stand back," says Jonathan. Warren backs away from the chair where Xander is sitting. The three men stand in front of Xander about five feet away. They all smile at him.
Xander looks around and begins to get freaked. He starts to take a deep breath then his eyes stay lock on the three men.
"Oh by the way, this is going to hurt. A little." Warren touches the button on the remote control. The machine starts to pump up energy and it begins to enter the wires that are on Xander.

Back in town three town's people walk through the crowds of people who are fleeing the town. The are all wearing hoods and they each pull the hoods down.
"What's going on here?" ask the girl, Faith.
"I don't know," says one of the guys, Oz.
"Bloody hell," says the other guy William. He points at the guards on horses riding right toward them. Faith quickly pulls out her hand and knocks out one of the guards. William smiles and follows her lead.
As soon as they knocked a couple horses, they each grabbed one of them and mounted them. Faith turns to the guys and motions them to follow her.
"Lets find out what's this is all about?" says Faith. The guys followed her.
Suddenly they hear a horrible scream. This stops the three thieves. They all look at each other.
"What was that?" ask Oz. They all look towards the palace where the guards kept coming from.
"It's the man in black," says William. Oz and Faith look at William.
"How do you know?" ask Faith.
"I just know," says William looking towards the palace. "You didn't hear. The princess, Buffy, married the kings stepson." Faith's eyes bulge open.
"No way," says Faith. "You said that the man in black and the princess were totally in love with each other. How could she do that to him?"
"What are we going to do?" ask Oz.
"We need to find the man in black," says William taking charge. "He helped us once."
"William's right," says Faith. "But where can we find him?"
"Follow his scream."
**********
The three of them hurry pass the guards knocking a couple off their horses. They followed Xander's scream, which was coming away from the palace. They enter the forest past the stables of the palace. There was one last scream and everything became silent.
The three thieves were close by but the screaming had ceased. They begin to look around in search for anything or anybody.
Back at the palace Liam leads Buffy into her room. He pushes her in and smiles at her. Buffy begins to back away from him as he walks into the room and closes the door.
"Okay, I did as you ask," says Buffy. "Now let Xander go."
Liam laughs then walks toward her. Buffy stands still trying not to be scared of him.
"Your true love is dead." Liam gives an evil smile. Buffy's gasp and her eyes bulge out.
"No," says Buffy putting her hand over her mouth. "You promised you'd let him go if I married you."
"What can I say, I lied," says Liam with an evil smile. "Things happen for a reason Buffy and sometimes they are bad things."
"How could you," says Buffy. "Have you no feelings?"
"I do so," says Liam. "I did say a prayer for him, but of course it wouldn't have done him any good. He didn't have anybody else to live for but you. And now you are mine. So it doesn't matter does it."
"Yes it does matter!" says Buffy. "You killed him. You cold bastard."
"Thank you!" Liam walks closer to Buffy and grabs her face. "You better start respecting me or you'll end up where he is now. Understand!" Buffy pulls herself away from him. Liam then walks out of the room. The door slam and Buffy throw the first thing she could find at the door. She was furious and sad. Buffy flops unto the bed and begins to cry.
Liam is sending out the guards to pillage the townspeople. All he wants is their price possessions and their money.
