Bloody Fate

Chapter 1. The deadly future

The night was long and cadaverous. The night was as silent as a grave the wind was also not blowing. It was a new moon night. But the strange atmosphere prevailed in the premises. In the darkness of the night the houses which stood seemed like mountain creases but the red-brick Victorian aristocractic Manor seemed doubtful, suspicious

The situation over there was stressful. From the inner manor the sound of running footsteps were coming. But what were they signalling? At the same time a woman's cry broke out expressing endured pain the sound echoed in the whole manor the sound grew thin and more thin and after a period of time the sound was heard no more

The only sound which can be heard was a new born's cry. The head maid dashed out of the room and went down stairs carrying a new born baby in her hand. At the downstairs where it was supposed to be a full trail of maids only a maid and the house butler stood.

'What happened?' the maid asked in distress

'Lady is no more!' the head maid replied

'What!' the maid exclaimed in despair

'Sir will be here soon ' the butler exclaimed wiping the sweat on his head

At the same time another woman's cry broke out expressing the same endured pain

'Is that Sarah?' the maid stood there asked

'Yes' the head maid replied

After a while a woman from behind the darkness came into flushed light holding a new born in her arms. The maid who stood there asked 'Sarah what happened? Why are you so quiet?'

Sarah not able to walk with wobbly feet fell down and cried helplessly screaming her lungs out ' Heng(sob) Heng(sob) my child (sob) ' said while shedding tears

'Sarah restrain yourself' said Heng holding the shoulder of Sarah

Heng took the new born from Sarah's hand while Sarah was still crying, the head maid dispatched the new born from her arms and gave it to Sarah

'Sarah look' the head maid said gently patting her head; Sarah took a glimpse at the new born and the new born was smiling at Sarah holding her finger Sarah tried to free her finger from the new born but new born's grip was strong Sarah smiled weeping her tears she held the new born in her arms

Sarah hugged the new born,everyone gave a pale smile and soon the new born fell asleep Sarah trying to forget her loss hugged the new born and kept the new born close to her chest

Suddenly the sound of footsteps are being heard

'Sir is here' the butler said

Soon a man appeared with an bloody attire. Blood was everywhere over his clothes like he was in a war

The atmosphere became cold and silent everyone bowed him

'Sir what happened?' the bulter asked

'Defeat' the man replied coldly

'No it can't be' Sarah said

The man noticed the new born and asked ' Is the new born.....'

'Yes Sir' the head maid said

It seemed the man was trying to hold his tears Sarah dispatched the new born and gave it to the man,the man took a glimpse of the new born

'Sir she is your daughter ' head maid said

'And Hanna?' he asked
