The Heir to the Incubi Throne Drabble

A Disastrous Plan and a Stolen Child

A birth in the family is supposed to be a happy occasion, but for one family, it spells disaster. Read the first part of the story here:

“You weren’t meant to kill him.”

“Two late to worry about that now. Grab the child and shut the others up.”

“Permanently?”

“I guess so. We can’t have any witnesses now that we’ve killed the crown prince, can we.”

“I guess not,” shrugged the first assailant as he threw knives at the midwife who shielded the baby while the healer struggled to stem the flow of blood coming from the anguished mother.

“All this trouble over such a tiny half-breed,” said the second pulling his blade from the healer. “Leave the mother; she’s not long for this world anyway.”
