407 Frozen

Unable to form coherent words, Rosetta raised her hand towards the carriage before she made her way towards the door. Eve quickly opened the carriage door, and her face turned pale. 

Eugene… His white shirt was inked in blood. Before climbing inside the carriage, Eve asked, "What happened to him?!" 

Eve checked Eugene's pulse, but she couldn't feel one. Her hands turned cold, and horror filled her eyes. She refused to believe Eugene to be dead. She turned to look at Rosetta, whose eyes were filled with tears that didn't stop from falling down her cheeks.

"Rosetta, how did this happen?" 

Rosetta shook her head, trying to control her emotions, and she said, 

"I d—don't know. I—I was...." she took a deep breath before continuing, "I was on my way here, and my carriage broke. And I found him on the ground. I don't know who hurt Eugene. I tried to turn him… but it didn't work." And she broke into tears.
