Melancholy Meeting

Emilia's senses went into full swing as she moved towards the left. The arrow seemed to be moving faster than normal. 

One moment, everything was moving in a slow motion and the next moment, it seemed like everything was happening too fast. Way too fast. 

Without second thoughts, Emilia grabbed Eve's hand and moved her away. The force with which Emilia drew Eve made both of them to fall to the ground. The sound of the arrow on the dartboard penetrated the silence.

"What was that all about?," Eve asked as she rolled off the princess.

"That." Emilia pointed to the dartboard.

Eve's mouth fell open when she realized what Emilia was trying to say. "It would have been your head."

"Goodness, gracious!" Eve hugged Emilia and stayed that way for a while. "Thank you, princess." The sound of Julian and Darno running down the hallway made the two ladies to look up.
