Chapter 127
"we need to figure out a way to get out of here" Persius said. I was thinking the exact same thing.
I decided to join Hakim who was pacing and doing a lot of sighing. Pacing helped to calm the nerves which is what I needed right now.
"to be honest this is not our war. This is their war. Our war will come, for now we need to find a place to hide because the truth is we will all die if we stay here." Hakim said staring at all of us, he was serious about this. He was also right, this was a new age but this war was not ours to fight. It was a lovers war.
Alexander had issues to settle with his former lover. It was not my war but I had added fuel to the fire and I had to correct my mistake or atleast just warn him. Then the rest was all up to him.
"I know somewhere where we will all be safe." I told them, well I was hoping we would be safer there.
They all looked at me with hope in their eyes, Marcia smiled "really? Where?"
I sat on a chair "It is like a secret cave on the ground floor. Where the hunter was buried all this time. I am sure we will be safer there. Nobody knows about that place I am sure of it" only the dead witch knew about it. I was hoping only she did and she did not tell anybody else about it. She hated werewolves so I am sure she would have never told one of them about the cave.
"are you sure that is safe, what if the hunter returns?" Marah said sounding a bit worried about this plan
I shook my head "I don't think we should worry about the hunter, after all he only hunts down supernatural beings. Not humans, he is on our side otherwise I wouldn't be standing with you guys right now."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go right now before we become food for the dogs" Trevor said preparing a wheelchair for his brother.
John was still recovering, he barely said more than two words these days and we were all concerned about his mental health. After losing a leg he was nolonger the same, I did not expect him to be happy about it but we all wanted him to recover from that mental damage. We missed his humor and his energy. Now all he did was watch.
"we can't just leave, we need a plan. There are guards outside that door unless you are forgetting" I said rolling my eyes. "we cannot be wreck less about every move we take from now on"
"Lu is right, we cannot afford to make mistakes right now or we risk losing our lives" Trevor said
Atleast someone was not getting big headed, I smiled at him. Marcia groaned "we need a distraction, the problem is what!"
Think, think, think... What would be the perfect distraction...
"fire" Marah said with raised eyebrows "we set fire to this room, they will have to move us and put it off at the same time" she continued
"They won't notice our escape, they will be too occupied" Marcia chipped in with a naughty grin. This was perfect.
Hakim took out his lighter "Well we better do this now"
Persius took two bottles of whisky and a few cloths and handed them to Hakim "let's start a fire"
It was easy starting the fire, we lit up the curtains. Blankets and the wardrobe, let's just say it got a little hot in the room. Marcia being the dramatic one ran to the door and acted as if she was dying with an innocent face. The girl could have fooled anyone, her acting skills were on point.
"help! Help us please!please we are dying!" she coughed as she banged on the door with all her strength.
I held the twins close to me, away from the heat of the fire. It didn't take too long for the two guards to open the door. They looked shocked as they took in the scene in front of them.
" what the fuck happened in here!" one of them exclaimed as they pulled us out. Non of us replied, we immediately ran out of the room.
As we had expected the guards were too occupied with trying to put out the fire they did not even see us leave. I carried Mason while Marcia carried Jason and we ran. Trevor struggled to push his brother on the wheelchair. I prayed that we would get to safety safely.
It was all too terrible, banshees had invaded the castle. I led my friends to the royal kitchen hoping it was safer plus we needed weapons. "grab anything you can to defend yourselves!" I said grabbing the biggest knife I saw. Everyone followed my order without hesitation.
Running, that is all we could do at this moment. I was out of breath but I knew we could not stop. We were almost there, just a little more running and we would be safe.
"Run faster! They are behind us!" Hakim shouted and I increased my pace. I knew they would catch up to us but losing hope was not going to save us.
"how many?" Marah asked but she kept running
"2!"he said and I kind of felt better even though two could easily kill us.
I took a glimpse behind us, John had somehow convinced his brother Trevor to let him push his own wheelchair. He was actually faster without Trevor behind him. I smiled as I continued to run. We were almost there.We were almost safe...
"Go! Run! Don't let my death be for nothing!" John shouted as he raced towards danger, towards the two banshees to slow them down.
My heart dropped "No!" Trevor shouted
Marah pulled him "we have to obey his wish!Please!"
