Chapter 8

My eyes widened in utter surprise.

I stepped back, bewildered, and watched as the wolf fell on the ground lifelessly.

My lips trembled. Looking down at my hands, I saw it was soaked with blood.

Blood from the rogue I killed barehands...

My knees wobbled and I stumbled backwards.

“My lady!” Alastair exclaimed and knelt down in front of me. He pulled my body to him and brought my face on his chest. “Hush... forget it.”

“A-Alastair...” I said.

Just... What happened to me?

“We're now safe. Let's go back to the palace.” He stood up and carried me.

I closed my eyes when it began to get blurry. Smokes has stopped emitting from my skin. Within my chest I could feel the turmoil and power trying to erupt. My insides are burning.

Power...

I can feel it within me...

Before everything would draw upon me, my eyes closed its own. It didn't take long for me to lose my consciousness. My body has become too weak. My whole body was in pain, burning, begging. As if my soul wants to leave my body already.
