sister-in-law

Adric almost runs towards her. He grabbed her wrist before she could ask anything. He drags her towards the door. He was walking too fast which made it hard to keep up with him. She had so many questions about what the hell was happening out but the time was not right she was sure that it was something very big. They cross the corridor and come down on the ground floor. The scene welcomed her was very horrified, she gasped in shock. The floor that was spotless before was now coloured red due to blood. The dead bodies of men were lying on the floor.

Her feet accidentally touched one of the dead bodies, a scream left her mouth, the fear rushing into her veins. Adric quickly turned her around, put her head on his chest and tried to console her "Everything is fine, I am here". He reached for her face and cupped it " I will not let anything bad happen to you, ok " she shook her head.

Before they head towards the door, a man out of nowhere comes and attacks them again a scream leaves her mouth. Adric was quick to block the attack, he pulled Amelia closer to him and fought with the man. In just a matter of time, Adric killed the man, and he fell hard on the floor.

Everything was so unpredictable for her. She had never faced this type of situation before, her mind was empty and she wasn't able to think properly. She was glad that Adric was with her to take care of the situation. They came out of the inn, surprisingly there was no one to see. She thought that there must be many people, ready to kill them but there were none.

There was the carriage in which she came here, Adric asked her to get inside the carriage and he helped her. "Sit inside until I come back," he told her, urgency can easily be seen on his face and voice. He turns to move but his movement is restricted by a hand that tightly clings to him. He turns to see his wife's scared face. Right now has so many things to deal with; he doesn't know who is behind the attack. His mind was a chaos.

But when he saw Amelia's face full of fear and horror, he couldn't help but her watery eyes making him uneasy. "Please don't go" she pleaded The helplessness in her eye was so intense that he couldn't ignore it. He leaned down and tried to convince her "I am not leaving you, just give me a few seconds I will be back, okay" his voice was calm yet serious.

"NO, promise me" she couldn't help to stop her tears. Her hands were shaking in Adric's hand. "I promise you, ok" he didn't want to leave her here but the situation was not in his favor. She nodded while leaving his hand from her tight hold. For the last time, he glanced at her and closed the door before leaving.

She sat in the carriage holding her legs tightly close to her chest. She was scared to death but with Adric around her she felt safe but now he left her here alone increasing her fear. The carriage was cold and dark, the screaming from the inn making her jump. There was no hint of light inside the carriage.

She wished Adric to come as soon as possible otherwise she would die here. All of sudden the carriage starts moving, and panic consumes her. The fear inside was so high that didn't allow her to speak. It was

moving towards the dense forest at a very fast speed. She knew it wouldn't be Adric, She pulled herself together and asked "Who are you" but there was no answer.

Even after a few minutes there was no answer, so she asked again a little louder" I asked who the hell you are?" She was losing her patience and the thought of one of the attackers killing her inside.

Again no answer, only the speed of the carriage increased. Her body was shaking in fear and when she was just about to scream a laugh stopped her. It was coming from the driver's seat. It was a scary and deadly laugh "Why are you laughing...stop the carriage" she yelled out of the lungs. "I am not laughing, I am just happy to meet my sister-in-law" a manly voice speaks "Are you not happy, sister-in-law?" and he continues his laughing.

She was dumbstruck, How is it possible for a dead person to be here? "No it's not possible, You can't be the Prince Draven. He...he is dead" Her voice was shaking. "Are you sure, sister-in-law" and once again a menacing laugh filled the envious.
