I couldn't control myself and went in search of who the culprit .
"Zen where are you going ? Wait ! " Father and Neil shouted but they couldn't catch upto me. I ran in the woods. There was no sign anywhere around . Then in the dark I heard footsteps. I turned back . It was Saraha . I burst out in tears.
"Zen . Why are you crying ? I saw you running and followed you "
"Didn't you see ? Someone killed our mother Saraha . What did she ever do ? She always helped people wanted the best for everyone . Who could have done such a thing ?" My tears kept flowing . She held my hand .
"Don't cry Zen . Your mother was a good person . " I lifted my eyes looking at her . She had no emotions . Come to think of it I never saw her cry .
"Your mother ? She was your mother as well Saraha . She accepted you as her daughter . What's with those lifeless eyes ? "
"Yes but sadly I never accepted her as my mother . To be honest I don't pity her death . It's what you deserved, what she deserved , what all of you deserved . There is no room for sorry . You see your ancestors have just done far more brutal things to have pity . "
"You are kidding right ? You are just too affected by the current circumstances that you are blabbering things . Saraha what are you saying get ahold of yourself !"
"It's the truth . Want to know what her last words were ? "
*************
Saraha knocked at the Queen's door. She opened and smiled at the little girl. Little did she knew that she was inviting death disguised aa an innocent little face.
" What's wrong Saraha ? You need something ? "
"I'm scared . I can't sleep mother ."
"Oh . Don't worry . You an sleep with me . I'll tell you a fine story and then sing a lullaby you will definitely sleep after that more like before I finish it " She chuckled and let her in . Since it was windy she turned to close the windows. Saraha then summoned her blade .
"Blade of honour - Water moon "
And a long sharp reflecting sword was in her hands . Irina turned confused after hearing those words .
"I don't have anything against you but I must take my revenge . May your soul rest in peace kindred soul." Before she could resist Saraha impaled her . Irina fell backwards on her bed .
"Oh you are still alive ! " She impaled her for the second time . Blood dripped from her mouth .
"Why ... you ... " Tears left her eyes . " You probably .... ha ..hate me.. but I beg you ... please spare my son .... don't you .....dare... lay a hand on Zen.... you ... witch !"
