Description
I stand up and carry his lifeless body to my chambers. I gently set him down and pull the cover over him. I hope that somehow due to some freak occurrence he will pull through. I quietly shut the door behind me.

This is all my fault. If I hadn't of captured him. If I hadn't of tortured him. If I had left Master in charge of his healing. If I hadn't of argued with Master in front of him he wouldn't have had a chance to escape. If my stupid moronic minions could listen to a simple instruction of not hurting the boy he would be fine.

If, if, if.

After trying, and might I add failing miserably, to sleep I decide to go and check on the skychild. The skychild who was dead last time I saw him. I don't know what I'm hoping to see. That when I walk in he's fine and throws a pillow? Or stabs me with an arrow and says 'see how you like it'. However when I enter the room I did not expect to see what I see, or in this case what I fail to see: a body.

It feels as if I may vomit or pass out. Possibly both. How can a dead body just disappear?! Master is out on business and I used magic on the door so only I could open it. Where the hell is the body of my supposed dead pet?!

I sneak through the shadows hiding at any noise. I open door after door, after door to find nothing. At least not what I'm looking for. Just when I am about to give up. To finally accept defeat for the first time in history. I find it. I slink in and quietly shut the door behind me. There lying motionlessly in a king four poster bed lies the supposed hero. I however don't believe he deserves the title. After all he had to be rescued by me.

Why am I even rescuing him? He can't possibly be the legendary hero. He's far too weak. He will only need to be rescued once again. Last time I checked 'rescuing hero' was definitely not in my job description. I let out a frustrated sigh and pick up it's body. I slip out the door I came in and backtrack out of the mansion to my safe spot.
