A COVER UP

Xaden rushed out of the dungeons amid the chaos as the bells rang.

Erik went up to him.

"What's going on?" He caught Xaden before he went past him and held him back.

"Alexander is dead." Xaden said.

Erik blinked. "What?"

"All the guards that were stationed there are gone too." Xaden said. "They are all dead. Someone killed them."

"What we're you doing there in the first place?" Erik asked. "How did you know?"

"Aurora said that she had something that Alexander would tell me, so I just had to go see and we found out he was dead." Xaden expressed.

"Who could have done this?" Erik asked. "Gone past and killed all the guards without anyone knowing what was happening?"

"Beats me." Xaden said and he turned to go.

"Wait." Erik stopped him. "Xaden is someone killed Alexander, then that probably means that Alexander wasn't the one who sent the assassin first. We might still have them here in our midst."
