1 The Incident

Knock, Knock

"M'lady, Supper has been prepared" Said a young maid to Sarah through the doorway.

"Ok! I just have to finish this assignment real quick!" Sarah replied looking to be around the same age as the maid.

"Very well, I will also add that we have unexpected guests this evening so make sure you aren't wearing that filthy attire but something more elegant"

"But this is my school uniform."

"You will change out of it and meet your guests in the dining room fitted well!"

"Your so much of a worry wurt, You always buy my clothes, tell me what to do, and tell me how to act but its fine! if you realllly want me to. I will!" Sarah says smilingly as looking away from her writing and onto the maid.

"tsk, ok then I'll be taking my leave now" The maid angrily states as storming out of the room.

"Okie Doke" Getting up from her workstation and to the other side of the room "which one should I wear?" murmuring to herself while going through her closet " it has to be sooo good that daddy wont even know what to say. Oh! this one is the one daddy bought me! Its perfect!"

In the dining room...

"But my lord! If they are left to roam freely then it shall bring havoc upon your family and God forbid your child may be the unfortunate one."

"Tyler! I will not be told how to run my own domain by a Duke! Now I suggest you keep quiet before I arrange to hang you!"

"now, now my Lord I think you should think Tyler's words over. Surely it isn't as blasphemous as you might think" Interrupted another man.

"Markus HAVE YO-!"

knock knock.

"have I come at a wrong time?" Sarah said peaking through the dining room's doorway.

"oh, No, no Sweat heart. Come on inside" Said the man sitting on the far end of the table with a brown full length beard and man bun hair.

"What do you think of my outfit?" Sarah says as now being mid way to the dining table with a perfectly fitted red dress with stitched Roses all over it matching perfectly with her flowing dirty blonde hair.

"I can say for sure that you are more beautiful than even an angel M'lady." says markus, the one who was the only calm on up until now as trying to fit his way up from his chair and walking to sarah to grab and kiss her hand.

"You look exquisite M'lady" Said Tyler now calmed down in his chair.

"W-what do you think father?" Sarah said to the man in the far back very worried about his response.

"I... I think that you are the most beautiful 11 year old ever" Said the man

"Really?! You really mean it!?"

"Of course little one. I can't wait to see what you'll turn into as an adult. With your studies being excellent and no one being able to compare to your beauty you'll be perfect"

"Really? Really?!" Sarah seeming overjoyed by the comment.

"haha, yes love" father responds also seeming overjoyed.

"Come sit and we'll see how long we have to wait for the maids to bring our damn food" Markus tried to say.

Boom!

"Go, go, go!"

"stab every bastard in this place with your pitch forks!"

"Don't let anyone live!!"

"Hraaaah!" said angry voices

"Go! My Lor-.. don-.. Get Her Out!"

'Sir Tyler? is that you?'

"Tyler wha-"

"Get her out my lord!"

'Sir Markus?'

'We'll be right behind you!"

'father? oh no. I'm going in and out of consciousness'

"You'll be ok sweet heart. Father's here we'll be alright. we are just taking a trip the back ok? Look! we are in the hallway! almost there love. we'll be ok no— Haaaaaaah!" Father out of breath felt an unimaginable sharp pain in his side "Blueghr. what are you doing Maid.. What are you...."

"Don't even know your own workers name? huh?"

then something hit the floor

"Father?.. Father!"

"Shut up if you want to live" Whispered the maid while holding Sarah by a knife to the neck. "shhhh... Keep moving little sheep"

'I can't speak... I can't see... where are we going... Is she a friend of foe? Did she kill him? where are we going?'

Thump

'ouch, I can see now.. where... this is the back of the house?'

" huh, huh, huh, I've been dreaming of this day for years... I can finally Do it! i can finally put an end to your DAMNED FAMILY@ WHY DO YOU GET TO HAVE EVERYTHING! HUH!?!

My 8 years as your 'Maid' will atleast be of some worth worth... "

"Father.. "as Sarah started Crying

"yesss. CRY FOR HIM! HE'LL BE THE LAST THING YOU'LL EVER SAY! NOW DIE!"

Goes for the killing blow

"Bluargh"

'I'm fainting from the shock.. but I'm not dead yet... everything's blurry.. why isnt she moving... why is blood on her..?'

'Everything dark again...'

*Indistinguishable Sounds*

'Dad? Are you there? I'm scared.. I don't want to be alone again.. Please'

"Ok Driver, get her as far away from here as possible got it?"

"Yes."

"Don't go.."

"hey, hey sarah everything's going to be ok. I just have to talk to some—"

"There he is! Kill him!" Cried some distant voices

"No time.. Go driver!"

The horses take off in a dash leaving the father straight behind them.

the father Mouths one last thing before he's too far away for Sarah to see him getting stabbed in the chest... "I'm always with you"

"Father!"
