Quiet Burdens

Chapter Fifty-Four

*WARNING! BLOOD! *More than Usual* SO AH... YEAH!*

Chapter Start

Queen Scarlet Smiled "I see you have come"

Her eyes darkened, "Cole, Gil, Rita, Emmy, Daisy, Boys" she glared at the children, who hid behind Daisy.

Everyone got their weapons out.

Ralph had given Cole Theo's sword, it was strapped onto the boys back, but he held his pistol.

The boys held some chemicals.

Daisy pulled her sword out.

Gil drew both blades.

Rita grabbed Oswald's staff.

And Emmy gritted her Teeth. The woman who took everything from her smiled. Emmy pulled her knives out.

Queen Scarlet gave a laugh.

"Ah yes! Our heroes! Where's my dear son? And the Princess and Knight? Are they, Standing Guard?" The Queen put a hand to her face.

She rolled her eyes, "That's fine I guess, didn't want him to see this anyways." She walked over, taking a sword from one of her knights. Then walked towards the group.

"Daisy" she started, stopping to look at the girl. "Why did you leave~ your family was so worried?" she acted kind.

Daisy looked at her, "You know why" her voice was dark.

"You right" the Queen laughed, "I do"

She then turned to the Boys, "Jaylen!" she sighed, "You had one job" she shook her head.

Jaylen looked at her, "You Promised, never again"

The Queen smiled, "That doesn't matter when you Queen~"

She turned to Rita, "Your brother was such help my dear, if only your sister was too"

Rita's eyes widened, "It was you..." her voice faded.

"Yup, she came here~ you might even see her" the Queen laughed.

"Gil" she looked at him, and nodded.

"Scarlet" Gil nodded back.

They knew each other... (I'll tell you later~~~~~)

Cole gave his friend a look, but wanted to save the question for later.

"Emmy!" she gave a fake smile. "You little piece of left over trash" the Queen said bitterly.

The Queen tried to kill her once. Emmy wasn't going to let her do that ever again.

The Queen then turned to Cole; "And you"

Cole blinked "me?" the Queens eyes narrowed even more.

"Yes. You, you child of light, here? Have you ever read the books?" she looked at him.

Then it hit her, "oh right! I burned them 19 years ago." She laughed, then trusted her sword toward him, only to be blocked by Gils blade.

She jumped back, letting her guards go toward them.

Gil and Rita fought back to back.

Daisy protected Jaylen and Hector.

And Emmy stood by Cole, as he shot the legs of the men coming at them.

"I'll heal you all later!" he would yell.

This went on until everyone fighting was getting tired.

The Queen walked around the field, looking like a lion in the field of fighting men.

She made her way behind the group.

And watched, everyone was getting tired.

She stepped up behind Daisy and the boys.

She then swiftly knocked the two out, quietly telling her men to bring them by an altar near the back of the room.

She then made her way over to Cole and Emmy, only to be stopped by Rita.

The four had regrouped.

About half of Queen Scarlet's men were able to fight.

The fighting slowed, they stood in the middle of the room.

The guards had circled around them, as well as dragged their hurt friends out of the way.

"Now now" Scarlet spoke, "I wouldn't fight if I were you, I've got your friends." She pointed to Daisy, Jaylen and Hector.

Cole, Gil, Rita and Emmy stopped.

"Now put your weapons on the ground" she smiled, "And step back"

They did so.

The Queen had made them line up.

Rita-

Gil-

Cole-

Emmy-

She looked at them, then went and picked up Coles pistol.

She looked at it, then put it back down. "Cute" she gave him a look.

She picked up Oswald's Spear, and dragged it to the Altar.

"You know" she started when she walked back for Theo's sword.

"The reason I wanted all of this is because of two things" she set the sword down as well.

When she came back she continued; "Youth and the world" she smiled. "But considering there is an entire continent we haven't been to, I thought I needed some help, time, and the ability to get it" she turned quickly.

"Which brings me here!" she looked at the Altar. When she turned back her voice was low.

"Now had them over" she put a hand out, "I want all the elements; The Crystallized Fire, The Emerald Earth, The Gem of Water and the Steal Wind"

The four pulled them out... and set them on the floor, stepping back, the Queen came over and picked them up.

She set them on the table as well.

"I tried to make it easy for you" she turned to them.

"If only the boys did their job, you would have been fine, you could have gone back to your cute little home on Crytinia Island. But no, you had to run" she looked at him.

She walked over once more, and picked up his pistol.

"But you had to do it the hard way"

She pulled the gun up to the boy, aiming it at him.

She squeezed the Trigger...

And blood splattered.
