Bab 127: Blood over Blood (2)

Marissa

So, the time has come yet I was dressed beautifully in front of the people and my sister Almira was weeping and begging his father but it seemed her gifted didn't work on her father. I closed my eyes and I can feel that this isn't my time yet. I look into people's eyes and it was sympathy they are showing.

"Father please…" she begs.

"Five lashes!" The King commands.

I was pushed and cuffs on the wooden pool. I closed my eyes when I felt that my dress from my back was ripped off. When I open my eyes, I saw Nick who look so mad. Before even got hit by a lash, someone hugged me from behind and it was crying, Almira. She took the pain.

"NO!" I scream. "Almira!"

"I will protect you." She mutter. My eyes started watering. She turned around and face the man who lashes her though she was hurt badly. "I will take all the lashes, kill me but not her." She told the man. The people started screaming to stop it but the knights are there.

"Take her away!" The King demands.
