Jack gripped her chin and yanked her head back to look up at him. “You know why you’re here, don’t you!” Doris pressed her lips together and nodded slowly. too afraid to speak. “That’s right, you poisoned that useless girl.” Jack released her and leaned down to her eye level.

You want to know what I think? i think you meant that soup to be for my mother. I think you wanted her to be the one to wind up dead on the ground, but you got the bowls mixed up. Isn’t that right?

“N-no! No, I would never poison anyone! Especially not Luna—” Jack hit her again with more force. For

second, her entire world spun around her until her sight straightened again.

“I was hoping you would have learned something in that cell, but I see you still can’t help but lie.” Jack

“No please, I am telling the truth! I never meant to hurt anyone, I thought the soup had something Luna Queen was allergic to so I gave it to Melody. I didn’t realize it was poison!” Doris tasted a bit of blood that dripped from her nose from his last hit. Tack stared at her silently as she explained herself, his expression was almost thoughtful-until it

“Did Prince Williarn ask you to poison Luna Queen?” Jack asked suddenly, the question startled Doris for a moment.

“What? Of course not—- Jack didn’t let her finish, he curled his hand into a fist and hit her as hard as he could. The chair tilted back from the force and almost sent Doris crashing to the ground, he grabbed the arms of the chair and righted her before she could. Her head ached in every spot, for a moment she couldn’t see where he was standing

“I saw you hesitate, don’t lie to me girl.” He growled. “I know Prince William put you up to this, I heard from the other maids that you spent the night with him.”

Doris parted her lips, a bit of blood leaked out but she couldn’t remember how to form words for a moment.

Jack gripped her hair and forced her head back harshly until she was looking at the ceiling, she screamed from the pain of her hair almost being tomn from her skull. “I’m going to give you one last try to tell me the truth before things get worse for

Jack released her head, and for a manent she thought he would let her go. For a moment she allowed herself to hope he’d finally heard her words and believed thern.

Jack stepped in front of her again with what looked like a small lighter in one hand and a cane in the ather. “I warned you not to lie. It would be a shame to ruin such a pretty face that I know Prince William must appreciate.”

*Please…” Doris begged, she leaned back away from his touch when he neared her. Jack tilted his head to the side as he studied her face. Without another word, he slammed the wooded cane down against her foot as hard as he could. She heard a crack before she screamed loud enough to wake the dead. She wouldn’t have been surprised if it went right through her foot and pierced the ground, she was too afraid to look

“How about now?” Jack said through gritted teeth – “Are you ready to admit to me that you and William wanted to poison Luna Queen?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Puck rolled up her love brought the flame down to her expased skin. She shirieked and tried to Ime way from him, he held her still. “Why are you probcting him? Prince William is notorious for only caring about himself. Did you know he didn’t even shed a tear after what happened to Melody? He was probably happy to have her gone.”

Her skin turned an angry, blistering red near her wrist. She thrashed in her seat and begged. “Please, I don’t know anything about the soup! Please!”

Tack flicked off the lighter and stepped away to look down at her and assess his own work. Her face was bloodied and bruised, her foot most likely broken and her arm was severely bumed in a small area. Every inch of her trembled, he took a step back and waved at his guards. “Lets put her back and give her a few hours to think about all of this.”

Doris limped back to her cell with a guard on each side of her and Jack leading the way. She would’ve glared at his back, but her face was too sore to do anything but remain neutral. She knew her foot must have been broken or badly sprained, her face must have been covered in dirt and blood and every ounce of her screamed for a doctor—but no help was offered. Not even a bandage.

Jack turned to look at her when he slid her door open. He lifted his chin as he stared down his nose at her. “Perhaps next time you will be more forthcoming with answers.”

The guard pushed Doris into the cell before she

could respond, she tripped over her own injured lez and landed hard against the floor. She couldn’t see a foot in front of herself. her tears blurred everything around her and she dragged herself to the wall before she hugged herself gently in hopes it would help with the pain.

After a few minutes of listening to her own hallow sobs, an older voice broke the silence. “Why didn’t you just tell them what they wanted to hear?”
