Attacking The Castle

"Ylva, what is going on outside?" Nova asked, worry etched on her face. She could hear the commotion from outside the castle. What started as a peaceful night ended up as one filled With screams, glass breaking and the never ending sounds of gun shots.

"Milady, it is the vampires. They have crossed the border and are now attacking the castle." Reported Ylva with a panicked face.

"His Majesty said I should make sure you leave the castle. He said you should run through the back gate."

"B- but what about them?"

"They are at the front lines–" Ylva was interrupted and startled by the sound of the castle doors breaking down.

The vampires had successfully gotten past their soldiers and were now attacking the people inside the castle. Nova could hear the screams of the maids as the vampires killed them one by one.

"Milady, we have to leave now." Ylva said, pulling Nova by her hand as they ran out of the room.

Nova held her dress in her hand so that it would not restrict her from running. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that her beautiful, peaceful home would be attacked by the vampire warriors. She could hear the loud drumming of her heart in her chest and her sweaty palms which held the dress firmly.

They stopped running when they reached the corridors which lead them out from the castle building and then towards the gate which was the way to their safety. But of course it was not that easy because the moment they reached the backyard, some vampire warriors spotted them trying to escape. The vampires chased after them and Nova along with her maid quickly picked up their pace. Despite how fast they ran, one of the vampires pulled the trigger and the bullet went straight into Ylva's head splattering blood everywhere and some landed on Nova.

Ylva collapsed on the floor and Nova fell down along with her. She saw as Ylva lifeless eyes looked as if Ylva was staring right at her. She needed to stand up and keep going though or else she would get caught.

"I am so sorry, Ylva." Nova closed the eyes of her maid and got on her feet. Before she could run, the vampires caught up with her and held her arms tightly.

She screamed as the tears which pooled in her eyes started to fall. She couldn't believe it. Was this how she was going to die? Was this really the end?

"This one is a beauty. We should at least enjoy her first before we kill her." She heard one of them say as the man who spoke held her breast firmly through the dress she was wearing. Her head was filled with the voices of their laughter and her sobs became even louder.

"Let me go, please!" She begged but none of them seemed to be listening.
