An Unexpected Death (2)

The explosives made a huge explosion. When I opened my eyes I saw the wall had crumbled down and the debris littered everywhere. There was now a way out of the palace.

"Come men, let's go." Jack waved to his men.

I also got up from where I was hiding when I saw arrows flying towards us.

"Arrows!" I yelled.

Just then I didn't realize that an arrow was heading towards me.

"ALICIA!" Jack yelled.

I looked at the flying arrows towards me with wide eyes. It was like time was in slow motion; I could not move an inch.

'Will I really die here?' I thought with regret. 'I still want to live. I still want to see you. Leon.'

If only I could use my magic right now, all would be fine. But this side of the palace grounds is still near the palace made of janetite. I also left the magic crystal to my mother if ever there would be an emergency on their way out to escape.
