Warped Reality

"Bring him down!" Lancelot ordered to his army and three men helped each other took down Ivano from the cross.

I turned my head and inspected the surroundings. Shit! I was back here. I didn't want to witness Ivano's death all over again. But why was I standing here like one of the spectators? Katherine was staggering as she stood from the ground after taking a beating from Lancelot. She whimpered while clasping her hands in front of her c.h.e.s.t as she approached Ivano's limp, blood-soaked body.

Shit! Shit! What to do? I must do something. Anything. Lancelot was already aiming his sword to strike!

"Stop!" I screamed my lungs out.

Lancelot jerked his head, his sword froze mid-thrust before he turned to me. I ran and approached them. I didn't even have a clue what form or face I was right now but I guess knowing I didn't have a swaying d.i.c.k beneath my clothes was enough.

"Stop this." I ordered and all sets of eyes stared at me in surprise.

"Who are you?"

"I..." My eyes flew to Katherine flinging her body towards Ivano and hugging him tight. "You! How dare you!" I marched towards the couple and tore Katherine away from Ino. You have no right! You don't love him! Stay away from Ivano!"

"Who are you?" The little bitch asked meekly with her huge brown eyes.

I wanted to kick her because she looked exactly like those damsels in distress in the fairy tale love stories and I hated her because she's so beautiful. I hated her more because she had Ivano wrapped around her wicked little finger. And I hated her most especially because she put the man I started to care about into the line of danger. And now everything was just so messy. I'm so going to kick her a.s.s.

"You heard the lady asked. Answer her!" Lancelot demanded in his usual annoying motherf.u.c.k.i.n.g mouth.

"Don't order me!" I snapped at him and the crowd cried out in chorus just as the guards drew out their blades and pointed it at me. "Really? You want to kill me, too?"

Shit! This wasn't good. If I'd be killed here, would I also die in reality? Jesus, I didn't know the answer to that. But it's better to be cautious because I might end up having sleep paralysis and die on my million-dollar plush bed in Ivano's house.

"You just answered me coarsely, you also needed to be punished!"

"I insulted you and you let other men to punish me? Something's wrong with your manhood?"

"You have a rather sassy mouth! No one talks rudely to the Lord Lancelot!"

I sneered at him. "Oh, you don't know what rude is really about, my precious Lord of the Ring! If you're in my time, your kind will be bashed in social media, air your stupid a.s.s on TV, throw you different names and even send you death threats until you don't want to get out of your house in shame and terror. Don't f.u.c.k.i.n.g mess with me and give me Ivano! Alive!"

"What city are you from? Your kind sounds barbarian. You need a leader to align your behavior and smoothen your attitude!" Trust Lancelot to endorse himself not so subtly to do politics.

I rolled my eyes at him and bravely tore my way towards Ivano despite the swords being lifted to me. I untied Ivano's wrists and ankles and even unbound his poor d.i.c.k from the cords. He slumped forward and I instantly wrapped my arms around him. Strange that I've got such strength to carry him away from the frozen form of the people.

"You don't have the right to take my prisoner away! I'm about to kill him!" Lancelot declared behind my back which made me stop to turn at him.

"In what grounds? What did Ivano do to deserve such death? If anyone in here needs to be punished, it's that bitch you paid to be your wife! Her nasty a.s.s just made everything complicated!"

"W-what are you ta-ta talking a-about?" Ivano slurred near my ear. "I love K-Katherine. D-don't let her be be punished!"

"Shut up!" I snapped at Ivano. "You don't love her, trust me."

"Who are you?" Katherine chose to ask me that moment while her eyes didn't cease shedding tears of misery and now with jealousy I'm sure.

"My name's Stella. I'm Ivano's..." Shit, what was I really? "I'm his wife!"

Katherine gasped and wailed her pain out while Ivano tensed up inside my arms. Lancelot's murderous face morphed into confusion, rage and back to murderous again before glancing at Katherine.

"You're already married but you're trying to elope with my Katherine?"

"If you're upset with that, believe me, I'm more than ready to kill right now." I told them while trying to clutch Ivano's wriggling body from escaping my hold. "I'll be the one to punish my husband at home. You..." I addressed Lancelot. "...punish Katherine, too. And don't let her come near what's mine again!"
