Destiny

CHAPTER EIGHT

Jarvis and Aquila are riding back towards Ashton. The river in which they are headed is just before the capital.
"This is madness" Aquila cried out but Jarvis didn't seem to listen to her.
Jarvis rode fasting trying to ignore what Aquila was saying which was clearly sensible but it seems Jarvis was not ready to listen to sense. she was lead without using her brains but her heart. 
Aquila rode fast too. it seems she was not ready to give up on stopping her.

"Stop now," Aquila said coming in front of Jarvis's horse which made her stop immediately.

"You are not thinking well? I know you want to burn her and scatter her ashes in the river but you can not do that now," Aquila said as she looked at her sister.

"I cannot do that and I will not do that are two different things. I must find peace for our sister," Jarvis said.

"what if the army catches you first? Do you think the mother would accept you after riding to your death?" Aquila asked

"Did you even love her?" Jarvis asked as Aquila looked confused and felt offended.
"How could she ask such an absurd question," Aquila thought as she looked pained and could not believe the question that her sister asked.

"Of course I did she was my little sister. I love her very much" Aquila said almost like a shout.

"I see you are pained but so I am. We both lost her it's not just you. I promised her I'll avenge her but I cannot do that if I am dead. You can continue this journey without me because I must keep living to avenge our beloved sister," Aquila said and rode away back to Dorian and Adrian.

Jarvis was shocked that Aquila actually left her but she tried to look like she didn't care.
"Ride away for all I care. I don't need you," Jarvis said shouting as she watched Aquila ride away.

"she really isn't coming back" that selfish bitch" Jarvis muttered softly.

Jarvis continued her journey riding very fast and she got to the river by evening.

"I wondered what Aquila was so worried about. everything is alright" she muttered to herself

Jarvis carried pieces of wood as she tied them together then tied her dead sister's body unto it.

"Wait, "Aquila shouted as Jarvis looked back surprised.

" you came back," Jarvis said with tears in her eyes.

" I shouldn't have left. I still think we shouldn't be here but I came to say goodbye" Aquila said with a weak smile.

"I have some fuel for the body. Go and find some stones to light her" Jarvis said and Aquila wanders deeper into the woods to look for the stones.

As Jarvis was tying Nacasia's body to the wood, she heard some movement in the bushes and figured it must be Aquila back with the stones.

"Nice you are back early," she said and turned but it wasn't Aquila. it was a man dressed in army clothes.

"Who are you?" the man asked looking at her.

"I'm just a maid sire," Jarvis said bowing but panicking deep down.

"No maid will be wearing such an expensive necklace," the man said as Jarvis looked at her necklace cursing beneath the breath "shit"

"it was a gift," she said
The necklace had been given to her by Dorian on her 16th birthday and she wore it every day ever since.

"who would gift their maid such precious jew!" the man thought.
"you are lying," the man said as he grabbed her and said
"you are going with me"
