Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #14: Counterattack

“He drugged me, had me restrained, and relocated us. Regaining consciousness, my Uncle had gone quite mad, raving about how he should have been lord instead of my father. In jealousy, he killed his brother, then returned, attempting to mate his brother’s widow, my mother.

“When she refused, he killed her, too. Now he came for my head. After I was gone, he would be lord.”

Oh my God, thought Kagome. What Akahito described was truly heinous.

“Fate must have been with me, for my bounds were not tight enough. I pretended to be helpless before I struck, killing him.”
