Bobby had known who the guard was 'One blue eye, one black' and by this Persephone also might have caught on. Stopping the carriage the knight stepped off the seat and open the door signaling them that they have arrived.
Yet, the kind gesture was meet by Persephone's gruff voice "Get in"
Looking up, the Knight seemed caught off guard but soon he regained his composure as he got in while Bobby took Nancy out of the carriage and down the pathway to their new home after receiving instructions from the knight.
"Yes ma'am?"
Persephone took this time to look at him really look and evaluate the man that had started all this ruckus in her life. "Why?"
"Why what ?"
Persephone huffed"Cut the bullshit, you might have Bobby fooled by being our Lord and Saviour but to me, you're a scum at the bottom of my boot- Explain"
SIghing the man removed his helmet fully"I was in love with your mother"
This had seemed to grab Persephone the wrong way "My mother?'"
One blue eye, One black - the spitting image of his love in front of him "You look just like your mother, except for the eyes of course"
"You said was?" Persephone cut in directing the topic to something different.
"She died, Six years ago- She couldn't shut up about you" The knight huffed in somewhat of laughter.
Persephone held a blank expression- she never really cared for her mother. She never knew her, Granny was the only being she had close enough to such a role, and undoubtedly if asked who her mother was Persephone would say, Granny.
"She went on and on about how vicious Cockscold is and how she named you from a tale in hopes of you igniting a flame, not just within you but Granny but now I see why Granny tried making your flame dim"
"Excuse me?"
"A fire that burns consumes, and you, my friend is a consuming fire" The knight held his stare as the black beauty did the same."Tell me Persephone? Were you going to be subservient all your life?"
Angrily she shouted "That kept Me and Granny alive! So yes!"
The knight eyed the piercing green-eyed teenager with a cruel smirk on his face"Were you really alive? Licking a decapitated foot? You call that living?"
"Not everything is meant to be fought knight!"
"Yet here you are and Granny..Dead" This seemed to have struck a nerve within Persephone's chest as she glared daggers in the unusually featured knight
"How dare you-"
Cutting her off the knight gasped in hysterical excitement "This is your destiny, you are the tale! You are the resurrection and the light! you are our Saviour"
"NO!"
"You are the knight in shining armor a conquest to exert justice done wrong..... accept it!" The knight shouted.
"No"
Seeming to jump off his hysteria the knight eyed his conqueror in front of him cruelly"The thing Persephone is you have no choice now."
The sadistic glint in his voice caused a violent shiver to race down Persphone's back, its as if right then and there the image of Mrs.Gordon skinned flashed before her eyes as she recognized the man who was truly in front of her- this man was no angel- he was the devil disguised as Jesus.
"E-E-Excuse me?" Persephone said stumbling over her words as she slowly felt fear consume her.
Had she plummeted to a second hell?
"The thing is my darling, Bobby already knows his role and has accepted it for you, did you really think that a knight issuing food would find time to murder a woman in the middle of the knight?" He hummed absentmindedly eyeing the scenery before his eyes rested on her once again.
"No, he said he didn't"
"Come on Seph you're smarter than this" The knight mocked "I'll skin you alive- You said it and he did it"
As if on cue their Bobby was eyes blank staring into her soul.
