Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 138 – I WILL NOT RUN
HELENAI looked at Julina. For a moment I couldn’t speak. His sword was still in his hand, his body positioned between me and the doorway. But his eyes were on me. he wasn’t ordering me to run. he wasn’t telling me what to do. He was giving me a choice. He looked exhausted as if he would fall at any moment.But his eyes showed determination and willingness to fighting if that was what I chose. My mother’s words echoed inside my head. Run before they wake the others. Who were the others and why had she looked at me like she knew exactly what was coming? I looked back at the woman standing in the doorway.“Mother.” I called to her. she starred at me, tears filling her eyes. “Helena, you have to leave.” The panic in her voice was real, the tears were real and the fear was real too. Still, I shook my head. “No.” her face changed. “You don’t understand.” She said. “I understand that you came back from the dead to warn me, protect me.”My voice trembled, but I forced myself to remain standi
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 137 – THEY ARE COMING
JULIAN The first scream came from the eastern corridor. I froze. For a moment nobody in the chamber moved. Then another scream followed then another. Whatever was happening outside was spreading quickly. I looked at Helena. My poor wife was standing beside the ritual stone staring at the doorway as if she could see something the rest of us couldn’t.Her face had gone pale, but she wasn’t afraid. That look in her eyes frightened me more than the screams. “Helena.” I said stepping toward her. “What is do you know?” she looked at if she knew something. She slowly turned to me. “I can hear her voice.” my heart skipped a beat. Why could that damn curse let her go.First, she was tortured, then she died, then awakened. She was almost drained to death and now voices? When would it ever be enough? “Who’s voice?” I asked taking another step toward her. I was useless in the matter, but I couldn’t let her stand alone. Not again. “My mother.” My heart stopped. by the gods, please don’t tell me h
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 136 - MOTHER
HELENA I just stared at the seer not knowing what to do. He pointed toward the needles. “The second stage is when the power begins to recognize what surrounds her.” I didn’t know what that meant and I didn’t think I wanted to know. It was enough, I had heard enough for one day. I glanced around the chamber. “And the third?” I found myself asking without my better judgement. The seer said nothing. “Answer her.” Julian bellowed. The old man slowly lowered his eyes. “The third stage is when the power no longer needs permission.” Nobody spoke. I just stared at him unable to understand. “Permission from whom?” his eyes lifted to mine. “From you.” a chill ran through me. the fire from the ritual suddenly seemed much hotter. I looked down at the needles again. The gold light had become brighter. One by one, they began to vibrate. Julian immediately rushed to me. undoing the straps. “Stop everything!” he yelled the imperial physicians.“She must get off this stone!” the seer raised his han
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 135 – THE STONE
HELENAI watched Julian take a step back. for a moment, I couldn’t move. His eyes were still fixed on me. I could see the tears he was trying hard not to shed. The fear he was desperately trying to hide. I had asked him to trust me not to hide his pain, his fear and his desperation to save me. asking for trust didn’t mean he had to accept this. I didn’t accept it as well; I just had no other choice.“You go save everyone, Helena. I will save you.” His words stayed with me. I smiled at him, even thought my heart was breaking. I wanted him to see a brave face not me breaking in front of him. He was already trying hard to stop himself from breaking in front of me. I couldn’t push him to the edge. He needed to see me strong.He said he would save me and I wanted to believe him. More than anything, I wanted to believe that I would walk out of that chamber and fall back into his arms. That he would take me home and we would live our lives in peace. But I couldn’t promise him that. None of u
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 134 – THE RITUAL
JULIANThe ritual stone was worse than I remembered. Maybe it was because this time, it wasn’t a criminal there going to be bled dry. It was my wife. I stood at the entrance of the chamber, staring at the bloodstained stone in the middle of the room. the needles were already in place, sharp and shining under the torchlight. There were so many of them. too many.My stomach turned and my palms started sweating. This was where people came to die. And now my wife was walking toward it. how does a husband accept something like this? How does he watch the woman he loves bleed to death. I had never felt so useless in my life. Helena stopped beside the stone and looked at it for a long moment.She didn’t cry, she didn’t scream. She didn’t ask me or anyone else to save her. she simply looked at it. that reminded me of something the soldier said before about her mother. Her behaviour was exactly how the soldier had described her mother the day they escorted her out of the capital. I wished s
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 133 – STANDING BESIDE HER
JULIAN My brother sighed nodding. He let go of my hand and I turned and walked toward my wife. I went and stood by her side. She glanced at me but didn’t say anything. I was glad. Because even if she had asked me to leave. I wouldn’t have. Not this time. it was the first time since the whole thing started; she didn’t stop me from approaching.Mark was right, she needed me there, by her side. I didn’t say a word, my presence said it all for me. I am here. she knew that and she saw me. that was enough. “Your Highness, everything is ready.” A guard came and reported. I took a deep breathing trying to steady my hands that just wouldn’t stop trembling.“Alright.” Said the seer looking between the imperial physicians and Helena. “It is time.” that was easy for him to say. It wasn’t his wife, sister or daughter going there. It was mine. I walked beside Helena through the palace corridors, every step felt like I was walking her toward her dead.‘My love, don’t leave me. please’ I repeated th
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 7– SAFE HAVEN, ALMOST
HELENA The forest felt different when I was alone in it. not emptier. Just honest. Every sound mattered now. every snap of a branch. Every shift in the wind. Every breath I tried to keep steady. There was no one left to decide what I was worth. No one left to watch. Only the path. Only me.I follo
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 6– THE JOURNY
HELENA The silence after his words felt heavier than anything he had said before. I didn’t speak again; there was nothing left to argue with. He had already decided I was something still unfinished and that was somehow worse than being worthless. I needed to leave, get the hell out of there. with
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 5– AND SO, IT BEGINS
HELENA Sunrays seeped through the cracks in the wooden walls. It didn’t feel like morning. It felt like survival continued. I woke slowly, my body stiff in ways that made every breath feel like a reminder of what had happened. For a moment, I didn’t move. I didn’t think. Just lay there, staring at
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 4 - FRIEND OR FOE
HELENAHe was back, panic flared. Should I run? stupid thought. Where would I go? How far could I get with a broken body and no strength? Begging? Maybe that would work. He was alone now. That had to mean something. He had lied for me. Maybe, just maybe he meant to help. I looked up at him, searchi
