She frowned, she couldn't think of a reason that he would want to know her mother's name. "Um.. Opal Karsley..?" Her voice remained questioning and her gaze reached his face, he was still looking at her, with a very strange, seemingly baffled, expression.

He continuously stared at her for a moment before a grin split across his face. He chuckled softly to himself, gripping the arms of his throne.
'' So,'' He mused, now looking at her,'' That b*tch wasn't lying in all of those letters she was constantly sending to me. We did ended up having a daughter. You know, she named you after the month that we met? Your mother was quite the charmer, and then when I grew bored with her and left, she clung to me like a tick that would never let go.''

October frowned. "So." her eyes glared and her fingers curling into a fist, "you're the jackass," she pointed towards him, her teeth grit, "people are not things to play with out of boredom only to simply discard them when you're done." she growled through her teeth, her shoulders shuddering in her anger.

He laughed at her, seeming amused
'' That's no way to talk to your father.''
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; size: 10pt; color: white;]
Her cheeks reddened in further anger, "I will never consider you my father." she spat, "why am I still here? I'm leaving right now with Marcus." she growled amidst her anger, turning to leave.

The kings face darkened and the man moved and grabbed her again.
'' No offspring of mine will associate themselves with a beast like that.'' He hissed angrily
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; size: 10pt; color: white;]
Even though she knew it was pointless, she attempted to pull free herself from his grasp. "I am no more of a beast than him." she replied, her eyes hardened and she once again attempted to pull free.

'' Take her upstairs.''
The man took October upstairs and placed her in a nice room then left and left her, but he forgot to the door,, leaving unlocked so she could go find Marcus
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; size: 10pt; color: white;]
October took quiet steps as she eased open the door, moving through the house to the room which she had seen the men take Marcus into. She made sure not to make a noise as she carefully opened the door.

The men had taken Marcus downstairs to the what you could call a basement. From the top of the long stair way, she would have been able to hear to muffled screams
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; size: 10pt; color: white;]
She made her way with soft steps in her footed tights down the stairs, somewhat slippery on the smoothed stone. She gripped the wall as she disappeared further down to the dwellings.

AS shse got further down, the screaming got louder and the sound of a whip snapping against flesh sounded as well, but slowly it stopped and the two men headed upstairs
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; size: 10pt; color: white;]
October sucked in a quick breath and turned to hurry back up the steps, only to slip and fall face-first into the stairs, regretting not removing the tights when she previously had the chance to.

They found here and took her back to her room
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; size: 10pt; color: white;]
She grumbled to herself in distaste, brushing back her hair and plopping down onto the bed, plotting her escape.

Again the door was unlocked for some reason.
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; size: 10pt; color: white;]
She got up and made her way to the door, taking another chance at twisting the door knob and once again discovering it to be unlocked. She made her way back to the same staircase, inching her way carefully down it.

The basement was dimly lit by dull light. Cells lined the walls and in the furtherest one from here laid Marcus in the ground
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; size: 10pt; color: white;]
She slid her feet over the ground in cautious steps until she reached him, kneeling and shaking his shoulder, hoping for a response.

In the dim lit, she could see that his back was covered in bleeding would. When she touched him he slowly opened his eyes. They were full of pain,
