Chapter 2: we meet again

Grace

POV:

After chatting

with Ray it felt a little better. After some time Mother and Father arrived. I

greeted them with smile and hugged them. Soon mother asked me as always the same

question that I don’t want to answer so she gave up and asked me to look at

some of the Royal, rich and handsome men and choose one at the dance in

evening. I felt my heart becoming heavy and I refused. But on the way to main

assembly hall father asked me the same thing and I just said that I wanted to

stay as their daughter for some more time and all he could do was sign. My

father never forced me to do anything so he won’t force me for marriage but I

know that this won’t last forever. I can’t imagine being with anyone but him….I

mean how can I?

As we entered the

festival hall I could feel stare of men who might be interested in me but I

don’t care. I just know I can’t love anyone again... The ceremony started and I

sat there with my family everything was quite normal and the way it was

supposed to be.

Authors

POV: `

Grace was sitting

there and was playing her part in the ceremony suddenly she saw one of the servants

running in the hall with blood dripping allover his body and couple of arrows

in his chest and back and as he came in he collapsed on floor. The whole crowd

was shocked but they did not get any time and arrows were raining all over the

places and crowd was running for their life. Her brothers and father ordered

Grace and her mother to go and get out of the assembly area with other ladies

and ordered some of the guards with them for protection. While rest of the

guards, her brothers, her father and some of the brave men in the crowd will

deal will this attack they were suffering. Grace and other ladies were unable

to get out of that hall because all the gates were blocked by enemies.

Grace didn’t know

what was happening? Who was doing it? What was she gonna do? She saw one after

another  men of her kingdom falling on

ground as death drags them inside it. She picked up a sword and tried to

protect herself and other women including her mother. Seeing this her elder

brother signaled Ray and Ray immediately came to help her. She knows that there

men’s were not ready but by the quantity and skills of enemies were so good

that Grace’s soldier can’t even stand against them in pre-prepared war. Each of

those was equally skilled to their 10 men’s at least and they were no better

than monsters. Who trained them? She thought as she cursed under her breath.

Suddenly one

arrow hit her elder brother shoulder and before Grace could respond the next

arrows hit her other brothers and her father. She ran towards her father and brothers,

tears started to flow and her blue dress started turning scarlet as she was

holding her father. She saw another arrow piercing into her second brother’s

leg and Grace turned her face saw a masked man with bow and arrow. As from his

attire he looked like their Master. She saw him taking another arrow and she

noticed that her mother was already captured by enemy soldiers. She was angry

and helpless as she saw that masked man aiming another arrow at her brothers.

She screamed at him, “STOP…*sob* WHAT DO YOU WANT?.....* sob* please stop….don’t

hurt them”.

The masked man

stares at her for few seconds while on the other hand Grace looked at him she

saw no emotions in his eyes she could only fell death but she felt him

familiar. The masked man started walk at her and she got chills. Her father

said to her in painful voice, “run… Grace run…ahh…. Save yourself and I am

sorry I can’t protect you …my daughter” and her brothers also agreed and asked

her to run. Grace just shake her head with tears in her eyes and said, “I won’t

leave without you all... I won’t run” as she continued sobbing.

The masked man

stopped few feet away from her and stared at Grace and her family. Grace was

scared, who won’t be scared- her family was in danger, her brothers and father

were injured, and they were surround with enemies with a mysterious man. One of

the soldier came and bowed to masked man and said with proud, “Master, the whole

castle is under our control, and we won Master”.

Then the masked

man removed his mask and as Grace saw his face she could only murmured,”

Impossible…”.

How can he be

alive? she thought. She was there when Sam died how can he stand in front of

her? and cause this harm to her family, how is he alive?

Sam smirked

coldly and said,” We meet again…Princess Grace”
