| The Tragedy at Alexandria |
| We made it back to the castle and mother was waiting outside father's room. She hugged me with tears coming down her eyes. I walked in the room I didn't look at my father right away, his face was not worthy to look at. Christopher and Heartwright gave me a disgusted look as I walked in. I walked and leaned against a wall across from them. I then slowly looked at my father's eyes at the terrified look they were giving. I knew he was afraid of dying, of losing Alexandria. It sickened me so I started heading out, but my brother Heartwright ran up to me, grabbed me and swung at me. Mother plead for us to stop but we just ended up beating each other. Vetrievian grabbed me and pulled me away, I got out of his grip and walked to my room. I layed on my bed worrying about Elizabeth, thinking of how my mother must be feeling after she saw that. My eyes grew tired and I fell asleep. It would soon turn from day to evening, and then to night. I awoke and sat on my bed it was quite. Crow caws Eerie Voice, "I have come to offer a deal from the lord of the scorching abyss. It involves your kingdom." Guard, "We found this hooded man killing our gaurds we managed (The black hooded man sets both gaurds restraining him on fire) AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Minion, "Go on... what is it you have to offer me..." Black Hooded Man, "Your kingdom, and your life." I walked outside the next to father's room door. I listened in and heard the footsteps of the hooded man walk towards father. Black Hooded Man, "Immortality, isn't it what you want? To live to for an eternity so you can rule your kingdom until the end of time." Minion, "Wh...what.... is it that I must do?" Black Hooded Man, "You must kill your wife, your children, and everyone else who lives in your kingdom." I peered in to look and i saw the hooded man's hand go over the heart of my father. He started what looked like he was draining his life out. Minion, "AHHHH...stop PLEASE.!!" Black Hooded Man, "BUT IF YOU DECIDE TO LET ONE SOUL LIVE OR EVEN LET IT LIVE, LUCIFER WILL PULL YOU DOWN TO HIS HELL. THERE YOU WILL BE INPRISONED AND SCORCHED FOR AN ETERNITY!!! (Lifts hand of Minion's heart)" Minion, "Immortality...it's what man wants. I can have it with it I can make an even bigger kingdom even if I scorch this one... I will expand Lucifer's deal I'll even set fire to this town... I will give Lucifer my kingdom also the bones, and ruins, even the souls." Black Hooded Man, "The deal has been made." The hooded man grabbed my fathers hand. He took his wrist and bit it blood spewed from fathers fist dripping to the side of his bed then to the floor. Then the hood man took out a dagger within his long black coat and slit his wrist so my father would also drink from his. Black Hooded Man, "A toast to immortality and its lasting bliss." They both began to drink from each other, I was disgusted at what i was seeing yet confused at what was going on. I suddenly moved and made a loud crashing noise against the door, the hooded man flew headed towards the door and opened it. His eyes where red and blood was dripping from his mouth. I was to shocked looking at his teeth, at the fangs. He grabbed me by the neck. Black Hooded Man, "...I'll leave your father to kill you, i can't meddle with Lucifer's affairs....SLEEP!!!" His eyes flashed and knocked me out of concious. I blacked out and heard nothing but after awhile I heard screams, screams of my brothers, of the villagers, then all the sudden the sound of flames scorching in my ears came to me. My eyes then opened I looked in father's room and he was gone, with the thought of my mother coming to me I ran to her room. Fire was growing out from the halls the ceiling was scorched and smoke blinded my eyes. When I walked into mother's room the smoke left me and I saw father lifting her with one hand. I quickly grabbed a sword that was benaeath me and ran up to stab father. I stabbed him straight through the heart, and he just stood there as if nothing hit him. He thrusted his sword straight through mothers throat, then swung it back and forth chopping her head off. I looked behind me and saw my brothers dead, except for Vetrievian. I then heard my brother he came in with his sword and told me to leave. He yelled at me and told me to go again, this time I fleed. I heard the clinging of there swords clashing together behind me as I left. When I went through the gates of the castle the whole town of Alexandria was in flames. Dead bodies were on fire and one was still moving a round screaming with the skin diminishing and falling off. I quickly ran to the stables and went on the horse Elizabeth gave me, the horse went fast riding through the blazed town straight into the forest heading for Elizabeth's house. Looking back, my eyes saw the orange light blaze of the fire between the cracks of the tress. Then I focused ahead of me to get to Elizabeth, riding deep into the darkened forest. The Black Hooded Man then appeared running up next to me and the horse catching up. He was flying as fast as the horse, and managed to knock me off. The horse kicked its front legs up and neighed as I hit the ground hard. Black Hooded Man, "The deal was made your soul will be Lucifer's" Zinion, "I thought you said you couldn't meddle with his affairs." Black Hooded Man, "I am now apart of this since your father afford Lucifer more then just the deaths of Alexandria, Lucifer also offered your father to help him once, and told me to take care of that one help." |
