Murder.
I did it.
It was fun.
Gruelling, but fun.
Sorry Mum.
Plus, I needed food.
The smile faded from Her face as she walked in, blistered toes and tangled
curls.
"Where's Father?"
"The crown requires its secrets."
She hobbled to the window.
"Cersei, sweetling, your father told me your secret.
"Tell him I will burn you alive if he doesn't kill himself."
"Darling, he died in the battle! Have you been taking your concoctions regularly?"
Ignoring her, Cersei tore the curtain aside.
Behind her was the dead, crumpled form of her dead brother, chained to a post, hand missing, his flesh a pale blue and his skull cracked in a savage grin.
"Why is your brother dead?!"
"I got angry."
Cersei gave the queen a morbid glance, to see if she meant her secret dead, too.
"Did I have to get angry?"
"No."
The queen looked sad.
"It seems your father had killed himself at the beginningof the war."
"I killed him."
"Why?"
"I don't know.
"I just did."
"I meant the king, sweetie, why did the king kill himself?"
"I told you, I killed him. He tasted rather sour. Like Brother.
"Sweetie..."
"He wouldn't let me touch it."
"Touch what?"
"The crown"
The queen's hand flew to her mouth.
"My gods."
"It's right here, near his bones.
"What?!"
She tugged at the necklace on her chest, rasping.
It was not at all what she had expected.
"Maddie is dead too, in the stables."
The little horse was bloody and bruised, and the strong teeth that studded its head were now twisted and broken.
"Did you break the crown?"
"NO!" She screamed, looking scared.
"I burnt it." She smiled maniacally.
The queen collapsed, dead of shock.
She sat down next to her, bawling.
"Sister Cersei, why has Mother fainted?" The little girl walks in.
"I don't know, darling." She smiles sweetly.
"Okay. I want food."
"Do you want some of your brother?"
"What?"

:0 woahhh a lot of dark fantasy vibes- this could make a great series! I like the structured way it was written, and the gore was wonderfully described. For grammar: "I told you, I killed him. He tasted rather sour. Like Brother." You forgot the end quotations in that sentence :) But yeah other than that, no major grammar critique I've never seen you explore this form of writing before! You should def look into it more, I'd love to read it :)

hello! great job on making the narrator seem mentally unstable, and i loved the backstory with the royal family too. The MyStErIoUs vibes were everything. :) oh and i don't think we've ever talked before, love ur sassy bio. ;)

This is so good!!! I mean, I didn''t understand the whole thing, and it gave me the MyStErIoUs vibes, but I LOVED IT! The sentences spoken by Cersei (I LOVE that name, how'd you come up with that?) were so expressive, that I was kinda hearing her voice in my head. The story had a lot of *TWs* but it was so nice, anyways. Like Kate, I'd like to say that it was poetic. I can imagine you writing great pieces of poetry too!
Reply
Thanks!! Yay, lol thats what I was going for :)) Aw, thanks!! Must have heard it somewhere :D Oop, yeah. Should I put in? Idk I was thinking about it. Thanks, Dhwani!!! <3

I think you should put the TWs.... Rest all's well with you?

Oh wowwww this was really good! I really loved how you made the narrator seem very mentally unstable, and it's cool that there was a bit of a backstory, with the royal family and everything. Do you like writing poetry?
