HOW IT ENDED prt 2

"Emperor and Empress Qi arrives!" an eunuch shouted to the people gathered in front of the palace to watch the execution of the people who committed treason. The Royal family including the crown prince and princess were seated at the right side of the 'stage' per say where the execution would take place. min xiao was joyfully waiting for min xia's demise all the while pretending to be sad and weakened. "Bring in the criminals!" the emperor ordered and min xia was brought out along with yuan zi. They were both wearing white clothes and were shackled on their hands, feet and even necks surprising the common viewers. The emperor stood up and raised his hand making the murmuring crowd quiet down. "we are here today to witness the punishment of criminals who dare to commit treason to the throne and to me.". min xia was made to kneel while yuan zi was tied to a long pole standing and then blindfolded. " let the punishment begin!" the Emperor said before sitting back down. The punishment was to start with yuan zi and min xia was frantic. she saw them carry knives and go towards him. "No no no please no!" she screamed but the executioners didn't care. she practically almost went mad when she saw them Peirce the knives into his two blindfolded eyes. yuan zi screamed with pain so much that the commoners viewing them started crying even tho they believed he tried to commit treason. min xia could feel her whole world fall apart and her heart being ripped to pieces but that wasn't all to come. Next, while he was standing, they took thorned whips and began to beat him all over. The whips went through his flesh and cut their way out making him cry out loudly. over and over they kept whipping him while min xia was forced to watch with her eyes wide open.

After about 65 whippings they stopped. min xia couldn't even cry anymore, the tears just couldn't come out because they weren't there. All that was left in her was dread, despair, sorrow, anger and hatred.

yuan zi had become so weak than the only thing he could do was breathe, but the executioners hadn't had enough fun yet. They immediately went to the back of the 'stage' and returned with two sticks with red hot metals at the end. min xia couldn't keep her mouth from opening in despair and the hot metals were pushed right into his sides. she could here the sizzling of his skin as he screamed for his life all the while still blindfolded. they did this to other parts of his body too including his face. After all the terrible torture, he looked as good as dead and was dropped to the floor right next to her and his blindfold was removed. min xia eyes closed in utter sadness as she saw him bleeding profusely from his eyes and other parts of his body. "min..min xia?" tears ran through her eyes as he said this. "I'm sor...ry... I couldn't pro..tect you.*cough blood* but I... am happy I was still able ...to die... with you. I love... I love yoouu." and those were his last words.

Her world had finally ended. he was gone. Forever. She would never see him again. But it didn't matter her sadness, cuz she was next.
