Chapter Thirty Six

Mira was eventually captured by the bandit, the bandits tie her hands backwards and put her on a horse, then they all head to an unknown direction, Mira was conscious all through the journey, and she keep praying that Storm was safe and sound, because been captured is least of her problem

About two hours ride more, the bandits enter into another cave and Mira was push downward, her eyes cover was open and there he see Queen Jezebel standing, at first she think she was safe, she want to scream for help, but the situation around begin to make her think otherwise, for Queen Jezebel reaction, and what happen in the cave, the magic bandit who can fire wind, then Mira knew that all the journey and attack was meant to capture her

"You are very wise, am sure you understand your situation by now" King Mila said

"Your Majesty I really know nothing about the Princess" Mira said with cries and look of panic

"Oh about that, we shall find out soon" Queen Jezebel said with an evil smile

Queen Jezebel nod at the bandit, she eventually drop a bag of coin in the leader hand, the bandit leader also leave the cave, leaving Mira behind, Queen Jezebel laugh a wicked laugh

"No one to save you now, and I will get what I want from you" Queen Jezebel said

Before Mira could say anything, two strong arms grab her and she was strip off from her dress, she was stark naked, she even try using her hands to cover her breast, but the men who strip her down also grab her all over again, they tie her down to a log of wood, her two hands are tie separately, her two legs are also tie separately and widely apart in a transverse style.

Mira knew the worst is going to happen to her, she begin to cry and weep for help, but none of the guys mind her or take pity on her, she knew what Queen Jezebel want from her, but she felt there is bigger play behind the Queen wanting to know what happen that night, thus she made up her mind not to say anything, hence her uncontrollably cries

Queen Jezebel don’t even mind Mira cries, she is busy making something, she is mixing different kind of portion together, after few minute she is done, finally she dip four knives into the portion, she then begin to cast lot of spell into the portion, like a cue, the light in the cave go out and everywhere was in darkness,

When eventually Queen Jezebel voice die down, the light come back on, she pick up the portion and move closer towards Mira, she voice out

"We could have finish this silently, if only you answered my question when am been nice, yea My Lord save you at first anyway, but he is not here now" Queen Jezebel said

Her face turn to an evil grin, she remove one of the knife, and the knife change to snake having a very long fangs, immediately the snake change back to a knife

"This is the smallest of my dark magic, and if I stab you with this, the snake start eating deep into your body, it take the snake ten days to reach your heart and then you will die, but within those ten days, you start feeling unbearable pains on the third day, when they are in your body” Queen Jezebel said and put the knife back in the portion

"Now when am been nice, what happen the day Storm was kidnapped?" Queen Jezebel ask again

At first when she was captured, Mira knew and understand that something is very wrong, but for Queen Jezebel to go this very length just because she only want to know what happened when Princess Storm was kidnapped, she finally conclude that there surely is bigger play

Already Mira knew that King Mila and Queen Jezebel must have known that the Bracelet fell off Princess Storm hand, but why will they want her to confess to it at all cost. Mira then decide to shut her mouth up, no matter the pain she felt, at least she own it to Storm and to Logan

"I don't know Your Majesty" Mira said finally

"Let's see how strong you are" Queen Jezebel said

She laugh and wicked laugh and she remove one of the knife, she stab Mira in her two hips, she stab her two wrist as well

"Well you have just six days for the snake to live in tour body, if you don’t give me my reply by then, then nothing can save you again after the seventh day, you decide by them" Queen Jezebel said

She put down the portion on the table and she leave the area, the rest of the bandits follow her outside, eventually the bandit leaders is still around, Queen Jezebel turn to the bandit

"Guards this area well" she said

The bandit nod there head, Queen Jezebel mount a horse and ride away, the bandit leader also leave some bandit behind and he also leave the cave mouth as well with few of his men

Meanwhile Storm got home very tired, the day is bright already, due to the fact that she ride very fast, she cover the whole distance from the cave to the palace in few hour, she does not even mind her painful leg, she was only concern about getting home as quick as possible. After riding for a long time, she enter the Palace and sight his father ready for search party, one of the Soldier see her coming

"Its the Princess she is back" the Soldier who see her scream

Quickly the soldiers surround Storm, they lift her up and help her in, King Mila see her daughter is safe and he embrace her

"I am sorry my daughter, I should have send more able men with you" King Mila said looking worried

"Father Mira is taken" Storm said

"What?" King Mila ask very surprised

"She save me, she disguise as me so I can escape" Storm said crying

"That is her job as your personal Maid, she must protect you even if she died, no one cares" King Mila said

"Father please save her" Storm said still crying

"I won't waste my soldier on a common Maid, you are home that is all that matters to me" King Mila said

"Father Mira is my friend, she alone understand me, she alone keep me company and talk to me” Storm said all together in cry, she hold her father leg “father please save Mira, please save her” Storm said again
