Chapitre 40: I’ll be there. Ch.40
" Farewell, miss Kannavis." Monica said.
As the door closed and Kannavis entered the room, the young girl who seemingly frightened outside changed her posture, perhaps her whole aura changed at that instant. The moment the cloud loomed over the moon, crackled sounds of bone and flesh metamorphing… as the person that stepped out of the dark was no longer a woman, for she has turned into a tall man with long red hair and a devious smile on his face.
"Good luck, miss Kannavis." Hedera said.
*Meanwhile*
"I've been waiting for you. Have a seat." Vinca said as she directed me to sit infront of her.
My heart's pounding, ear's ringing to nothing as if I couldn't shake away the uneasy feelings. I should be out with for Irene, so why am I here? Was this a trap?
"Duchess Vinca, I didn't expect you to be here. Please accept my humble apology as I couldn't give you a proper farewell earlier at the palace." I said, eyes averting from hers as she stared menacingly at my face.
"Oh dear, it's alright. It wasn't the greatest meeting, was it? I wanted to have a word with you, but there wasn't much room for that there.." Vinca said as she slowly got up to look out the window.
Another rumble of thunder, that brought with it a flickering light showed her tall, slender figure, and her velvet dress, drooping over her high heels. She looked fragile, but she gives off such an ominous aura.
"Did you know, dear? Our house was found on a night like this. There was no such things as the silence before the storm as the cloud would always cries out thunder." Vinca said as she turned around and slowly walked towards me.
" When we enraged the gods, the cloud thickened and storms began to form on these lands, thus signaling the beginning of us" Vinca spoke.
She pointed her finger onto my chest, slowly pressing in as she continued- " Us. The beings that strive for knowledge.. change..for imperfection, and gods don't like us. The serpent that defies their will.. that's what we are." What is she saying? Is this some kind of riddle… ughh.. she's burrowing her nail into my chest.. it hurts.
I tried to back away patiently, but all of a sudden, she grabbed my shoulder and looked me dead in the eyes.. something's different.. I can't move.
" You know, Miss Kannavis. You're just like us. Imperfect being that doesn't belong here." She said and let out a chuckles- " Goodness, I'd say that they despise you even more than us, you know that?"
"Umm.. your grace, you're hurting me." I said as I grabbed her finger that was trying to penetrate my chest with both my arms. Sh*t I put all my strength into this. After that, she finally pulled her hand back and leaned back onto the desk.. my palms were sweating, I turned my head to look over on my chest as I felt a sharp pain throbbing from my pect.. there's blood, slowly gushing out of it.. any longer she would have pierced it with her finger.
I frantically tried to placed pressure on my wound and slowly back away from the seat, fear was kicking in as I feel that my life is being threatened. A quick glance towards her, and she glared at me with no remorse, looking down as if I was nothing.
" We could have helped each other, you know. The flawed ones.. but unfortunately now, you took something from us." Vinca said.
"Umm please excuse me." I said, back against the door as I tried to reach for the doorknobs without looking away from the crazy duchess infront of me. She didn't try to interrupt my flees, like it was futile. And what's come out of her next brought chills to my bone.
" Don't frets dear. You'll pay for it tonight." Vinca said as she smiled at me grimly. Without another second to waste, I burst out of the room, sprinting for my life out of there, hand hovering on my chest, without looking back.
My legs kept moving and my sight hasn't reaccustomed to the darkness along the hallway, yet I tried to my best to get out of this horrifying place.
*KABOOM!!"
Another crash from the thunder and I saw a black figure was standing there still at the end of the hallway like a statue, waiting for me. I abruptly braked, and took a swift look back to the other end of the hallway, and there were two more black figures, slowly walking towards me.
Sh*ts… they're definitely after me. Where can I go?.. the stairway.. Another quick whiff, I turned around, and started to run back towards the two figures. Simultaneously, they began to rushed towards me at a terrifying speeds, and before we're about to bashed our heads in together, I did a sharp turn to the left, running up the spiral stair up to the studies' floors. The windows mirrored along the hallways showed the classes were empty with only empty seats and spaces.
Lots of footsteps were following behind, and I quickly hid in one of those empty room, bodied myself against the walls, under the window, praying that whoever was outside won't be able to hear my loud panting.
*SHWAAAA*
Soon enough, the rain started to pour and mumbled footsteps were literally on the other side of the hallway, haunting for me. How did this happen? Why are these people after me? Did the duchess send them for me? Whatever it is, they're definitely going to do something bad to me.
While I was lost in my thought, the footsteps stopped and all I could hear were rackets of rain drops, falling off the roofs and thunders that continued to soar down from the sky.
… Are they gone?— I thought, but what I failed to notice was that there was a shadow loomed over my body.
I looked up, and there, a hooded dark figure were pressing their hands against the windows, hogging their head against the window, staring down at me.
My body was in total shock at the sight of this frightening figure… were they observing me this whole time?
When my body began to scramble away shaking, that figure strikes the window open with their bare hand and grabbed a hold of me by the strains of my hair. They weren't long, so their fingers' were clawed to my scalp, pulling me out through the shattered window like weeds.
I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"WAAAHH!!! Ugh!!.. GET OFF ME H-HELPPP!! SOMEBODY!!!" I let out a howl of despairs. A sickening wailings were flowing out of my body, but there seemed to be none that responded to my cry, except for the others two figures appearing out of the abyss to claim my soul.
The tall figure got me under his palms beside his leg, skittering and trying to jack his grabs of my hair. It was no use.
" let's not make this harder for us. Surrender and we'll make this painless for you." The figure in front of me said. This voice… it's familiar… wait I remember?! This is the lady that attacked me and Irene at the manor! And there were two more of them… it can't be?!
Looking at what they're wearing, it's the same scales-like attires from those people?! Sh*ts, are they relating to the duchess..
" YOU GUYS! You're apart of the Ophis, aren't you?! Why are you doing this?! Was this duchess Vinca's order?!" I scurriedly asked.
" You're quick to catch on, little birdie." The woman replied as she got a hold my collar.
" That's correct. But, we're here for what you've stolen, of course." The woman continued. In that moment, she took out a pocket knife and pinned it to my chest.
Oh F.. is she going to carve me alive?!
"Wait no-no! Please, I'm begging you. Spare me!" I said, tears dwelling down from my eyes. I've never felt more dreaded and helpless in my life. Squirming around with one hand trying to untangle my hair from the other's person grasp and another trying to block this woman's hand from stabbing me. Moreover, the other guy got a hold of my legs, locked under between his arms.
" Don't move. It'll only be just a second." The woman then swung the knife up and pierce down at my chest.
"NO!!" I shouted.
*CLINK*
"Huh.. the cloud have covered the sky, but I'm sure the moon has risen. Is miss Kannavis running late?" Irene asked herself. The girl was dressed up neatly, eagerly waiting at the central of the plaza. The night was coming alive. People were gathering around everywhere for the festivities of the night, strolling the streets, enjoying the sweets of the nigh whilst the lonely heroine was standing to be a gaze for the others, waiting for her tweety light.
" hmm.. I hope she won't get caught by the storm." Irene said happily as she stand there waiting, unaware of what's happening.
*CLINK*
I closed my eyes, expecting to be puncture and have my heart gutted out. But, the next moment, I felt no pain. Have I died? Is that why I feel nothing? I opened my eyes and unbeknownst to me, a big skeletal like mummified hand was emerging out of the little medallion on my chest and grabbed the hand of the woman trying to stab me.
What is this?!
