Chapter5: Betrayal

Ranulf woke up, his head still hurt from the guard's beating. He attempted to rub the bump on his head but a chain didn't let his arm go very far.

He looked at his sides stone walls surrounded him and steel bars were set up front immediately he recognized this as the Pronteran dungeon. He heard the clanging of bars and thought that the executioner was coming to chop of his head. He stared at the cage door waiting for the executioner to appear in sight.

Ranulf was surprised at the person who went in, it was Sigmund who was now wearing Priest robe the innocence out of his eyes his used to be light brown-hair was now dyed red and held up in a spiky hairdo.

Ranulf stared at Sigmund not saying anything. So as soon as Sigmund realized this he decided to start the conversation

"I understand if you're mad at me." He said

"I'm not mad at you Sigmund. In fact you have proven to be a better priest than I"

"Oh cut the crap! You idiot!" "I'm not mad at you, you're a better priest than I" mocked Sigmund in a baby voice "Listen here you M%$ER F#KER! I know I'm a better Priest than you I don't need you to tell me"

You think I became your apprentice because I actually wanted to BLEGH! As an acolyte I watched you carefully I wanted your power your strength. I worked hard until I was appointed your apprentice. Then, you started teaching me everything you know I carefully followed at the same time pretending to be all nice and acolyte-ish. I waited until you couldn't teach me anything anymore. The next part of my plan was to find some fault that I could use against you and what luck I had. When I saw you kiss that archer girl I immediately took my chance. I ran to Anna and told her all stuttering and everything you should have seen the look on her face Hahaha. It took some time for me to forget what might happen to you but when I finally got rid of that nagging voice in my head I decided to go through once more." Sigmund paced around Ranulf stopped behind him then spoke again

"I took this knife then broke into your little Girl friend's house." Said Sigmund as he pulled out the knife from his robes "I spied on you until I saw the chance where I could catch you. When both of you started getting romantic I ran to the archbishop and told him everything. He believed me then just in time he caught you and you're little girl friend kissing.

Ranulf couldn't believe this, his loyal apprentice revealing everything right in front of him.

"Why did you do that Sigmund?" asked Ranulf

"Weren't you listening? I told you I wanted your Power"

"But Sigmund the bible tells us not to give in into envy or covetousness"

"SCREW THE BIBLE! I shouldn't be getting this from the mouth of a priest you just got caught for breaking his vow of celibacy. Yet the archbishop doesn't want to take away your priesthood since he's jealous of them elders and all. But don't you fret soon I will be the greatest priest and you will be forgotten unfortunately you can't have your relationship back after your priesthood is taken away"

"Why? Why can't I have it back?" asked Ranulf afraid of the answer

"Oh haven't you heard your girl friends gonna be burned at the stake tomorrow. Isn't that gonna be fun"

Ranulf stared at Sigmund his skin color white as chalk.

"What's a matter Ranulf your Girl friend afraid of a little heat?" mocked Sigmund in his baby voice again. "Don't worry Ranulf I'll be giving her wonderful night, well at least for me." Sigmund stepped out the cell then started walking away.

"Don't you touch her you bastard. You hear me don't you touch her." Ranulf shouted "RAAAGH! RAAAGH!" He tried breaking out of the chain he knew that none of his spells would work since the bonds were enchanted and prevented him from using magic and the more he tried to get away the more energy it sucked from him. He drooped to the ground exhausted with one final drop of his energy he shouted "Don't you touch her Sigmund I swear to God I'll kill you" Finally, loosing consciousness again

Sigmund was walking in the castle hall when he ran into Anna

"You're awfully happy you just destroyed your friend's life" Anna

"What do you care, wench? You better step of before I shove my mace down your throat."

Anna stared at Sigmund awestruck "Why you little egotistical worm" Anna raised her hand and slapped Sigmund on the face. Sigmund looked at the priestess with the outmost loathing.

"You better watch yourself woman. I'm always just around the corner." With that Sigmund stormed out the hall up the stairs.

Katie was staring out of the barred window into the moon. The door was locked and a meal was left untouched on the table.

"Oh Ranulf what is going to happen?" she said to herself

A knock at her door disturbed her attention from the moon. She looked at the person at the door

"Oh it's you," she said staring at the person who was Sigmund

"I'm flattered you remember me milady," He said

"I'll never forget a face of a traitor"

"Milady I am no traitor, I had done what had to be done."

Katie looked away at the priest controlling herself from strangling Sigmund.

"Why do you look away milady" whispered Sigmund into Katie's ear.

Katie didn't answer and simply shut her eyes.

"Answer me." Commanded Sigmund but still Katie didn't speak.

"Answer me you twit" Commanded Sigmund, patience wearing off

"ANSWER ME!" he shouted grabbing Katie by the neck then shoving her on the wall.

"Let go of me!" Katie screamed

Sigmund licked her face...You taste good, pretty lady"

"Let go of me "Katie flung her foot at Sigmund's stomach who fell on the ground in pain

She ran to the door and tried to escape but it was locked

"HELP! HELP! She shouted as she pound on the door . A boot slammed at the back of her neck and halted her cries.

"You stupid B$TCH you think you can get away with kicking me!" shouted Sigmund repeatedly kicking Katie on the ribs.

He picked her up by the throat

"Kill me already if you must, I don't care anymore"

"Oh you'll die soon enough ,don't you worry your little head. But before I go I want a little some thing from you."

Sigmund threw Katie on the floor then took of his priest's robe.

"Don't you come near me" Katie warned

A smirk appeared on Sigmund's face

"You really think that will scare me off?"

He pushed Katie down and started kissing her

"STOP! NO DON'T! STOP!"

her screams meant nothing to the priest as he continued molesting her
