TRADED TO THE ALPHA

Your Accomplice?

"You witch!"

I looked up from the tinny cell that I was enclosed in. I had tried by all means to close my nose and avoid sniffing the urine and traces in this place bit that was impossible. They still find their way in my nose and plunged themselves very deeply.

I tried to him my breathe butnthatbseems impossible. All I could do was inhale it and now, I was accustomed to it. There was no way I was going to block it. I was living with urine and fears smell as my normal. This was the new normal.

My cell door was opened and I was pushed on the wall. "Don't try anything stupid!" The guard instructed as they cuffed me again.

I was pulled out of the cell and dragged out. It had been five days. Five days of being in that cell bot knowing what my fate was.

"What are they going to do to me?" I thought I could know the answer of mybfate today. I thought I would understand why they are doing this to me. The guard let out a laugh and smacked me hardly on the head. I didn't have time to feel the pain, I just wanted to end this for oncebnad for all.

If they were going to hang me or burn me alive, they have to do it now. I didn't want this pain to last for long. I didn't want to be in this feeling for long. I neede to get out of it I wanted to be free. Maybe I would be happy or in a safe place than face humiliation.

The moment my foot stepped out if ye cells to the p ght, people were still chanting. They wanted me gone. Theybwnayed I stuce tir their king. They cisnidered me a witch. Some ifbtejm had posters TOS How that I should be killed. Some if them had drawn pictures of me dying via strugulation. While some had oistersd if me burning I am ge fire. they wore t-shirts with my name on it and big red X on them.

I have never experienced any of this. No one in the empire has ever done something that I am accused of. Do if I am asked whether I know how this is going to end, I know very well that anything can happen.

The large crowd followed me. The guards even allowed some to slice my body a little, "that is to prepare you for the pain," mumbled the guard. Some protestors joined in and started throwing eggs at me. The rotten eggs and they were sticking on my dress.

The silver dress was still on my body and it was going to be used as a evidence. They couldn't remove it because they feared I might burn them with it.

When I arrived at the court. Luke was here, this time round, his head had the throne, so heavy on his head and Delilah was next to her, the throne sitting cutely on her head. She liked born for the role of a queen. Unlike me who was a nobody.

"Your honour, I present to you, case number one thousand and ninety Six. Amaya, against the people of silver Moon."

I didn't even wander my eyes around. Inwanst allowed to look up. I am an offender, the only place I can lookis down on my foot. The ground and remind myself where I will always belong.

"Who was your accomplice?" Asked Luke. He had an authorative voice.

"No one, your majesty!" I said.

I had no accomplice. I didn't do this with anybody. I was alone in all this and that I can attest to it.

"Amaya," Delilahe started while coming down the aisle. She stood Infront of me but then moved forward after groaning that I was filthy," You made the dress on your own?"

"Yes, your majesty," i was using one word or two response. I couldn't risk trying to blurt out nonsense.

"Which indount, because the materials used to make such a dress can't be found in our kingdom, we don't even have any silvers, so who was your accomplice?"

Why are they insisting that I had an accomplice? I didn't have anyone to Hel me make the dress. I didn't his on my own. I sewed the dress and made sure it was fit for me.

"I think, we should sell her?" Delilah said and everyone shouted.

"No!" Shouted one of the men who was sitting on my left, "Forgive me your majesty, if we sell her then she will be used by those pwople tp teybamdnkill another person."

"And if she had witch powers, she could have escaped from her own entrapment, why is she still here?" Asked Delilah.

Why was she trying to help me out of this? Why was she considering a very low sentence to a if this? I looked at Luke with the corner of my eye and all I could see was quietness. He and ithingbto say.

The arguement about what should be done on me went if fir hours as I was just standing there waiting to see what will be done to me.i didn't know which choice was better. Sell me to the highest bidder or maybe just kill me?

If they are planning to sell me to the highest bidder, what if I fall on wrong hands? What if I get someone that is goingrno hurt me iver and over? I have of stories of were were wolf and used as lab rats in many places just to produce clown like wolf's who are very dangerous and destructive. Indkntbwant that. Indkntbwant to be harm or to be injected with various things to test my abilities. What if I am not even a wolf? Maybe I will never be a wolf. At eighteen and I dint have a wolf is frowned upon, maybe I don't have it.

"You want to burn her here?" Shouted Like. I shot my head as I heard his growling.

So burning me alive was on the table? I have read the constitution and they banned burning people alive but the king can have the authority to do that.

"Why not, you are the king, your majesty?" Said one of the council members while looking at him. He let out one growl and only kept quite when Delilah placed a hand on his thighs. That used to be me. When he was afraid it angry, I would place that hand in his thigh and he would gladly be calm. He would kiss my hand and pull me to his embrace. Watching as Delilahe receives all that treatment, I felt a lump in my throat.

"Just burn me alive!" I shouted from my stand. I was not going to stand here and watch as they do the exact things we used to do. I won't allow myself to be humiliated.

"You see, she wants to be burnt alive!" She wants the same council member and the cloud also chanted in unison.

"Burn her, burn her, burn her Alive!" That was the chorus going on. If this was going to take place, then it is going to be something that all the Kingdome will have to agree on. Getting them to agree on it and the might Alpha to accept this condition then I will have to be taken to the capital. I'm the capital, people don't have mercy. People will agree to it straight away.

I didn't realise how heavy my words were until I thought if being taken to the capital. If just a small perk of light make me shiver that way, what about a burning fire? What about a burning fire on my flesh? Mani that stupid to accept the fire?

I looked at everyone around the room. Their angry faces glaring at me. The poster of me in various punishment stages. Tomorrow the newspaper is going to have my fave pmasyered all around it. Did I deserve the fire? How am I going to even defend myself? I know I am innocent, but who is going to approve it?

No one is on my side. No one is on my side. No ins is holding my hand to guard me on the right way. If I walk out of this place today and the final judgment is fire, I will be no ore amd the culprits responsible for this incident will go about their lives. Though, who might have wanted to kill the King so bad to have me wear such a dress?

Maybe I am looking this in a wiring dimension, who might have wanted to remove me so bad that they had to acgise me of attempted assassination?

I can't place this on Delilah, she has been my rival but she was away for her university education and just came back a month ago when I was already sewing my dress. Why about the turner Luna, maybe yes but at the same time, no, she made sure I wore something nice and when she asked me if I wanted a new dress, I said no. Then who is it?

My thoughts were started by the words of the Aloha King's voice, "if it's the fire you want so bad, we will transfer you to the capital and have put that into consideration." He wants being authoritative as before. His words came out as the forced ones. As soon as he finished, I was dragged out of the court room. Luke didn't even give me an eye contact, instead, he stokd up amd walked away while Delikah followed her.
