The intense sound of ringing in my ears draws me out of the force unconscious state I had found myself in, due to the sheer volume of the ringing, it seemed to mask each other noise that was erupting around me. The longer my brain had time to recuperate from the fall, the more I began to feel each section of my body again, the first thing I felt was freezing and wet, the beautiful dress I had chosen to wear for the photos seemed to stick onto my body but what also seemed to stick to me was my hair, it clung to my face due to how wet the storm had caused it to become. I thought when my eyes opened it would give me more comfort, but along with the ringing of my ears, my eyes seemed not only blurry, but my hair covered them. Even the thought of moving my arms when I was in this isolating state was the last thing I wanted, my head beginning to move from side to side slowly as my surroundings seemed to poke through the deafening noise. “Erin…Erin, can you hear me?” A muffled voice se
Instantly, Baron’s body tenses and vibrates from anger in such a manner I had never seen before, his beautiful eyes that I’ve come accustomed to turn a deep shade of black and his fists clenched so tightly they turned white. When I was simply theorising that someone from the village was in here, he could put it down to me being paranoid due to the storm but now the evidence was so clear, no other theory made even the tiniest hint of sense. “I want even single guard in the palace to search the grounds and buildings for this individual, I do not care if glass must be smashed, walls crumble or others die, I demand this individual is located and brought before me by sunrise!” Baron’s deep and dark voice growls, the power and intensity so powerful it was as though the concrete room we were stood within began to shake and crumble. “If anyone finds them you need to be careful, you wouldn’t believe the weapons and other equipment M and his men have crafted with the sole intention to destr
Once I had told Baron what I believed to have happened, he firstly looked at me as though I was being paranoid before he shook his head, in his mind, no one from that village would be able to pass through his security twice. “I understand why you may be feeling that way Erin, but it is not possible, I would not allow that to occur again.” Baron began to try and explain to me why such a person couldn’t have entered through his walls, but he didn’t know Markus like I did. “No Baron listen to me, you don’t understand what M is like, he sits with a beer and can think of the most grotesque, awful cunning plans that a normal person with a normal way of thinking wouldn’t even begin to fathom. He knows everything, he has eyes and ears in more places than I believe any of us give him credit for. He’s told me for years that he has this contact that lives or lived within this palace that gives him all his information, how do you think he knew about the break in the wall when he sent Peter in
My hands grip so tightly onto Baron’s shirt I worried I’d pierce deep holes in it, the longer the darkness engulfed the area, the more my heart pounded in my chest and the images of the night my life changed forever flashed in my mind so vividly, it was as though I was right back in my house. Baron’s arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me so tightly to his chest, even though I couldn’t see him, I felt his head snap back and forth as though he was waiting for some kind of attacker to burst out. “Why has the lights not turned back on?!” He shouted into the darkness, due to the uncertainty of the situation and how much I couldn’t see, I somewhat jumped out of my skin at his sudden shout. “My apologies for making you jump Erin, but as a precaution if the power was to go out, we have a series of back up generators that are set to turn on if the lights suddenly cut out, they should have turned on moments ago.” Baron explained why his sudden change of mood caused me to jump whilst
With this new revelation surrounding the storm, I walk in silence in the middle of my guards who didn’t falter in the slightest whilst my hands could only shake in fear and anticipation for everything that was happening. My heart seemed to pound in my ears as another door to a room I had never entered began to open as we approached, the gold detailing on the many walls seemed to glisten in the light, this room seemed to be brighter than any other room in the palace. Before my mind had time to overthink each and everything that was happening around me, my guards seemed to part ways before we could enter the room, leaving me to stand in the doorway but the person I saw stood waiting for me caused each feeling of worry to slowly wash from my senses. Stood in the middle of the room in an expressive looking black suit was Baron, even though all he seems to wear are suits, this one clung to his body in ways that caused my emotions into haywire. The suit was tighter than any other I ha
Once Lizzie and I had been moved to a safer room to get ready, I jumped in the shower to wash all of the sweat and Megan’s blood that filled my skin before meeting Lizzie back in the bedroom. She had laid out each item I needed and sorted through all her hair things to help me style my hair, before I knew it, I was being zipped up into the beautiful blue dress I’d chosen. “That mate of yours isn’t going to know what hit him.” Lizzie smiled making sure my zip was done up and hidden within the fabric under my arm, while all I could do was look at myself in the mirror and for the first time, I didn’t recognise myself. For starters, the dress I wore was the most expensive and elegant item of clothing I believed I had ever seen in all of my life, the way it clung to each section of my body and fully showcased my figure was something I didn’t expect. Back in the village even though there were women, I spent most of my time with the men planning our attacks and scheduling what shipment n
