Queen

The guards of the prison were surprised to see who I was visiting. I had to repeat myself multiple times until they finally believed me and it was tiring. After getting through a bunch of security checks, I was with a guard who was giving me a hard time.

"What do you mean he's not having visitors?!" I snapped.

"He's in the infirmary," the woman said apologetically.

"Why?"

"I cannot say, your majesty."

"Call whoever the fuck you need to call but I need to see him. Right now! I will shut this entire bitch down if I need to, do we have a fucking understanding?!"

I knew I was being a bitch bitch I wasn't in the mood to play. I'd been here for six hours now feeling with dozens of people who were trying to stop me from seeing him.

The warden finally came into the room and smiled at me through the glass wall. "I apologize, my Queen. I will take you to Mr. Russo right now."

I nodded and he pressed a button that opened a large door to my left. I walked in and he bowed before walking me through the prison. We passed by dozens of prisoners that cheered when I passed but I ignored them. I only had one mission of today and that was to find out the truth.

After what felt like hours of walking, we made it to an infirmary. A nurse inside rushed over to us and bowed in greeting before looking up at the warden. "What may I help you with, sir?"

"We need to see Dimitri Russo."

The nurse hesitantly looked behind her and shook her head. "Okay, but he had serious injuries that I believe have messed with his mental state."

"What happened to him," I asked.

"He was castrated and sexually assaulted multiple times," she said.

My heart dropped and I shook my head. "By who?"

"We don't know," the warden said. "He won't speak to any of us."

"He's in shock," the nurse said.

"Can I talk to him?" I asked.

"You can try."

S̶e̶b̶a̶s̶t̶i̶a̶n̶

Dimitri

I'm such a sick person.

I had to be. How could I be happy to be in jail? I was filled with joy as Sebastian and I sat in the jail cell. He was occupied thinking of ways to get out and I was busy screaming in his mind so he wouldn't be able to formulate any decent thoughts.

"Shut the fuck up!" He screamed as he hit himself multiple times. I laughed when I couldn't feel his slaps and I continued to bother him. There was no containing my excitement when I heard police sirens coming.

I heard that was going to be no investigation and I was glad that meant that we would be going to trial sooner. Hopefully, we didn't get the death penalty though, I'd come back a few days later but he would most likely jump into another body and I couldn't have that.

I was selfish enough in the past to not care wherever the souls had gone but he was possibly the worst and I couldn't risk him being free.

"I hope we get an eternity sentence," I said in amusement. Only the leaders of realms were able to grant those but Sebastian had done enough to deserve it.

"If I'm here forever, you realize you're stuck with me?" he said in a strained tone with a laugh.

"I'm aware," I replied with a sigh. "At least you won't hurt anyone."

"You're so weak," he spat in disgust.

"I know."

"If I'm stuck here, I'll make sure you know that for the rest of time."

"I hope you have fun doing so. You did this to yourself. I pray we rot in here."

He banged our head roughly against the wall behind us and I let my laughs roam in his mind. I couldn't imagine how insane he was going but all it did was bring me happiness after all these years of pain.

"Inmate," the guard said as he opened the door. "Shower time."

"I already showered," Sebastian spat.

"Shower time, inmate," he repeated. I relaxed as I knew that all the guards in here were stronger than us. They were vampires equipped to handle all supernatural creatures and that put my busy mind at ease.

"It's nighttime!" Sebastian snapped. "Why do I need to shower?!"

Three guards then walked in and lifted us from the uncomfortable bed. Sebastian screamed as we were carried out of the cell and I laughed along with the inmates that were cheering at his seeming demise.

I had no idea where the guards were taking us but it was nowhere good. Whatever it was, Sebastian was long overdue for any sort of punishment. I calmly looked up at the ceiling of the jail and wondered about my dreams.

The only dream I truly had after all of these years was to vanish from the world and never wake up. To never be used as a vessel for wicked people, and to never have to watch someone live my life.

My spirit was too broken to wish for a life of my own. All the souls may not have broken my spirit but they obliterated my mind. On my own, at night, my mind would be possessed with the things I'd seen and I knew I'd never get over it.

If I ever made it out of here, I'd find a way to die...and stay dead forever. Lately, my mind would drift to Charlie, I'd wonder how she was doing and I was thankful that she never searched for me. Out of all the people I'd ever met, she was the most significant.

Well...that was kind of a lie. There was someone else I thought that I loved. I believed he loved me too. But after Sebastian possessed me, he let me go. It was obvious that I was different but he didn't question it...just like everyone else.

He left me just as they did even though I gave him something I never gave anyone else. My heart. Not the one that would be used by whoever took control of me, but the one that I controlled completely. He had it and just like that...he abandoned it.

It was a pain to see him tease Dimitri and move on with multiple lovers. Did he just forget me that easily?

"Strip," a guard said as they set us on our feet.

"No," Sebastian said. I laughed again as a guard punched us in the face and we fell onto the tiled floor. The man in charge pointed a gun down at us and Sebastian stood up wearily.

"We said strip." Sebastian removed his clothes and the guards took them and left the room.

"Oh, you're fucked," I said as I saw five men in orange jumpsuits led by a man with a knife walked into the restroom.

"W-who are you?" Sebastian asked as he backed up.

"We have a message from Cain," the tattooed leader answered.

"No, no...what message?" He asked in fear.

"Well," the man said as he gave us a crooked and chilling smile. "He gave you options. Nicer than me after what you did to his baby sister."

"May I speak to him?" Sebastian asked.

"Are you dumb?" I questioned.

"Option one!" The man yelled as he ignored the question. "Everything you did to our Queen, we'll do to you."

"Or?" Sebastian asked in a shaky voice.

"We cut yo' dick off," another man said in amusement.

The leader smirked and turned back to us. "Either you choose in five seconds, or we do both...5."

"What are you going to choose?" I asked as I cringed. I could care less what was to happen to my physical body. I was disgusted with it enough so mutilation wasn't a fear of mine.

"4."

"You choose!" Sebastian said to me.

"3."

"It's your punishment, why would I choose?"

"Is this motherfucker talking to himself?" The menacing man asked as the group moved toward us. "Weird ass bitch. 1. Time's up."

"You should've chosen," Sebastian asked as they grabbed us.

"Why?"

"Because this is going to be your punishment," he laughed as they pushed us to the floor. I felt myself rise to consciousness and I fought against it but lost. I gasped when I felt the men on top of me and Sebastian began laughing in my mind.

"Stop! I'm not the one who did it!" I yelled as I tried to fight them off. My arms were held in place by one man and my mouth was soon covered by someone else's large hand.

"You should've chosen," the leader said. "You're gonna regret this shit."

His hands grabbed at me and I screamed into the hand as their nails dug into my skin.

"Good luck," Sebastian said into my mind as he hummed a condescending tune into my mind.

What did I do to deserve this?

Queen

I walked slowly to the hospital bed that the nurse had directed me towards and I sat on the high chair beside it. My heart was beating quickly in fear but I needed to see this through.

"Dimitri," I called out. His eyes remained closed and I called him once again but he remained asleep. I laid a hand on his arm to tap him and his eyes shot open.

"Leave," he said quickly. "You need to go before he comes back!"

The nurses ran to my side and I held my hand up to stop them and I glanced at the warden. "Give us the room."

"But your highne-"

"Leave the room, please," I ordered.

"No, no, no stay. Get her out of here," Dimitri yelled.

Everyone rushed out of the room at my command and I turned to an afraid Dimitri. This was far from his usual behavior but then again...maybe our theory was correct.

"Sebastian," I said.

Dimitri's brows furrowed as tears began streaming down his face and he shook his head. "What?"

"Sebastian is the one you're afraid will come back?" I asked.

He nodded slowly and I gave him a small smile. "How do you know?"

"A friend of yours helped me figure it out," I replied.

He looked like he wanted to ask who but he remained guarded as he moved to the other side of the bed away from me. "You need to go. The spell, you can't use your magic if he comes back."

"Can Sebastian see me right now?" I asked.

"Yes," he whispered.

"What's he saying?"

"He's screaming," he said in a shaky voice as he closed his eyes weakly. When he opened them he looked at me with watery eyes and shook his head. "I'm so sorry. I tried to stop him all of those times but-

"It's not your fault," I said. He gave me a small smile before taking a deep breath and looking up at the ceiling. "Why aren't you healing? You're a vampire." I asked as I looked at the bandaged part of his skin.

"Sebastian is the vampire between us, I can't heal unless he comes out."

"Why won't he come out?" I asked.

"Because it hurts," he whispered. "He let me up when I was getting attacked yesterday."

"He just left you to take the pain?" I questioned.

"He always does."

My heart broke into a million pieces for him. After everything Hades told me, I knew he didn't deserve any of this. I wouldn't have even wished for what happened to him...to happen to Sebastian.

I blinked away the tears and got off the chair and sat at the edge of the hospital bed beside him. It was still unnerving to see the face of the man that hurt me so much but I had to keep in mind that it wasn't him.

"I want to help you," I said lowly.

"No," he declined. "You have to go."

"If you were here all along then you know I'm not going to leave until I get what I want."

He shook his head once again and I hesitantly reached out for his injured hand. His break caught when I touched it but when I held it in mine, he relaxed as more tears fell down his face.

"I need you to tell me everything," I said. "Everything that happened before you met me, after and up to this point. I already know Lilith helped and-"

"I can't say anything," Dimitri said as he shook his head quickly.

"Why not?"

"He says I can't."

"Do you have to listen to him?" I asked.

"He says he'll hurt your daughter if I say anything."

I closed my eyes and shook my head in disgust at Sebastian's words. How could he do that and when did he turn into this person? We used to do everything together and now he was threatening my daughter.

The fact that he even knew she was alive was something that shocked me. If he knew, that meant that Lilith may have known. But then again, if Lilith was working with Eve, she may have already known.

"Ask him how he knows that," I said.

"He said he knows a lot of things."

"Dimitri, trust me. Sebastian can't hurt my daughter."

"I hope you understand that I can't risk that," Dimitri countered solemnly.

"Even if I may be able to help you get rid of Sebastian?"

"Even if you can, I can't put your family in any more danger," he said. "Leave me here. That way, you all can be safe from him out there."

My head throbbed and my eyes watered at his selflessness but I couldn't just be okay with letting him sacrifice himself.

"So you continue to get hurt in here while Sebastian sits back and does nothing?"

"What other choice is there?" Dimitri whispers.

"We can figure something out," I urged. "There are people who want to help you."

"Just help me by leaving and never coming back," he requested. "Help me by asking the warden to move me to solitary confinement, forever."

"You don't want that," I whispered.

"It's better than this."

I got the hint that he was gesturing at his injuries and I ran my hand through my hair. "I'll go. But I'll be back."

"Before you go," he paused. "I need you to hurt me."

"Why?"

"Sebastian won't come up until I'm healed. If I remain in pain then I'll stay in control. So hurt me...something that will take a while to heal."

"Like what?"

He screamed in pain and held his head as I looked at him worried. "Are you okay?"

"Sebastian is angry," he groaned. "Break my leg. Fast!"

I quickly got up from the bed and grabbed his leg. "Ready?"

"Do it."

With the move of my arms and a loud crack from his leg, he let out a loud screech. Tears began to flood in my eyes and I rushed to his side. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be, I asked you to," he said as he took short breaths and smiled at me. "Now go, please don't come back here."

I nodded and stood up straight as I squeezed his shoulder. "I'll see you tomorrow and every day until you tell me everything. Goodbye Dimitri."
