The interrogation room in Moonclaw’s main headquarters was silent.It was a gray building right behind the palace, a structure that everyone feared.The surroundings of the building were an empty field that stretched for miles. The building had its own courtroom and its own private road, which was used to transport accused people to the penitentiary.Dren laughed to himself, a fake laugh that he always did whenever he wanted to hide his fear or nervousness, he had lived his whole life on the streets of Moonclaw, from gang to gang, before he finally got that one job with a rich rogue merchant and his life had changed, but while growing up one thing he had learnt was acting, it was a life saving skill, and it was what he needed to do right now.The room was silent as Ryk looked at Dren’s face trying to read the man’s expression, he had initially seen the fear in the man’s eyes earlier.The metal table between him and Ryk was bolted to the floor, the surface of the table was rough from a
Meanwhile… Back in the tech room in Moonclaw’s detention center…Everyone rushed about, working on finding the identity of the men behind Konan’s kidnappings.They had been working all night.Ryk had stood with them all night long.Ryk stood at the center of the room. He had black circles around his eyes, and his dark eyes were fixed on a screen where Officer Mark was pulling up a new file. The room smelled of metal and stale coffee, completely opposite to the smell of blood and fear of the interrogation chambers above.“We found him,” Mark said, his voice filled with excitement as he clicked through a series of images. “The Moonclaw kidnapper from Konan’s abduction.” He said as he looked up.“His name’s Dren, he’s a low-level merchant, no prior record, but he’s got ties to some shady deals in the market district.” He continued and paused, as he began pulling up a blurry still from the CCTV footage, showing a thin man with a scarred jaw standing among the three rogues who had taken
Meanwhile The hospital room was small and quiet, with many large windows and sunlight.The doctor had asked for them to be put in a room with a lot of sunlight and ventilation.Callum lay sitting up in his bed, his chest was bandaged, and his face looked pale.His dark hair was still wet, as the nurse had just given him a light hair wash. His eyes were filled with confusion, and he curiously looked around the room and at Keira.She sat beside him, a tray of food on her lap, her hands shaking slightly as she took a spoonful of broccoli into his mouth. She had worn a plastic hair cap over her hair to keep it from getting into his food.She was weak and tired.Callum weakly swallowed his food, his eyes were soft, and he still looked confused, as if he was trying to piece together a puzzle with missing pieces. “You’re good at this,” he said, in a weak and warm voice. “Taking care of people.” He added.“ I’m sure we must have been in love.” He said and gave her a small smile, she looke
Meanwhile, back at Rogue Island… The dining hall of Rogue Island’s castle was large and beautiful, and it was distinct from the rest of the palace. The ceilings were decorated with diamond chandeliers and long pink candles that left a warm, shiny light on the long wooden table, which was filled with roasted meats, brown bread, and glasses of wine. The room was filled with flowers and air fresheners, giving it the smell of rosemary and candy, hiding the smell of rotting flesh that had covered Rogue Island ever since the attack. Isabel sat at the head of the table, wearing a dark blue gown, with gold threads and designs. Her hair looked darker and longer as it flowed over her shoulders. She was every inch a queen. But she didn’t feel as secure as she felt a week ago, now she knew that there was someone more powerful than her and everyone in Rogue Island knew it. Konan sat across from her, his bruised face had been cleaned up and bandaged, his tattered clothes had been change
Maggie sat silently, still tied to the metal chair, her wrists and ankles were already numb.She looked broken.Her eyes were red from crying too much.Her hair stood at multiple angles.Her cheeks were still wet from the tears in her eyes.She had calmed down a little, but her body was still shaky. Her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Edgar, who stood before her. He looked unrecognizable in his new Moonclaw elder prestigious gown.His gray hair had increased, but it was neatly combed. He looked down at her with concern, which she could tell was fake.She knew he didn’t care one bit for her and was only here for Maya.Edgar looked across the room and winced a little as he saw the scar, he looked half alive and half dead as he weakly watched Maggie from where he sat, his body slumped lifelessly to the side.Edgar quickly looked away and moved closer to the glass, he sighed and cleared his throat.“Hey.” He said in a gentle voice that was filled with concern. “Maggie,” he sa
Lira pressed the rod closer, the heat intensifying getting hotter, Maggie’s scream turned into her crying louder, her body began to shake uncontrollably. “Please!” she cried out loud, her voice shaking as she cried. “I don’t know anything!” She screamed tears in her eyes. “I swear, I didn’t know it was Keira at first!” She cried as she begged for mercy. “Van Gav and Rory… they just said they wanted to know more about her and I needed the money they were offering too.” She screamed tears in her eyes. She looked around in fear, saying anything that came to her mind, and her whole body felt like it was on fire. She looked up at Lira again, but the woman didn’t look moved. She just looked down at Keira with empty eyes. “Stop lying,” Lira said, her voice cold and empty as she took a step backwards, she looked like her patience was beginning to run thin. She took a deep breath and set the rod down, forcing a smile on her face as she picked up the bucket of dark boiling liquid s
