Blood splattered across the young lady’s face as the spear that was originally meant for her drove into her mothers chest. Aeris floated back and looked down at her hands. The room was clouding with blood making it hard to see where she was going but all she could do was move away. Was she dreaming? She had to be dreaming. Her mother didn’t just get murdered! She would wake up at any moment and then have breakfast with her!
A knife shot out of the plume of blood and slammed into the pillar beside her that Aeris darted away. Out of the throne room and down into the halls. All round her blood was pouring out of rooms and in hallways. It had to be a nightmare! Her stomach dropped in her belly as she slammed into one of the palace guards. He looked down at her, his expression like iron as he started to drag her back through the bloodied halls.
Bodies drifted out of the rooms they passed. Bodies of servants and maids, women and men who she had seen every day of her life.. Gone in an instant. Aeris couldn’t even scream, it was like her mouth was sealed shut, even as the guard gripped her arms tighter. The Princess didn’t register what was happening until a panel in the wall opened up and she was shoved inside.
