Chapter 18: Blood Bath

TW: Cussing, Blood, Death

Y/n's POV:

It has been about an hour since the ball has begun and everybody really seems to be enjoying themselves. Most of the time I have been just standing around gossiping with Karl and Eret about people we haven't seen in a bit and dancing around once in a while.

The food was also absolutely amazing, I mean it always was but it was even better with all my friends a around and having so much fun. "Y/N, his majesty requests your appearance up front please" one of the butlers states blandly. With a simple nod I begin my short stroll to the front of the room dodging people on my way.

When I get there I find Mumza and immediately ask what's going on. "Wait one minute love, your brothers and Phil are coming up right now" she responds with a grin. Once the boys got arrived, Phil begins to speak lowly.

"are you guys all having a good time?" he questions whole heartedly. We all respond with enthusiastic Yes's. "I'm glad. As you know, everyone here is within the higher class and traveled from high and low just for this night. I know we have people making sure everyone is doing well, but it would mean a lot to your mother and I if you would go around and at least have a small conversation to get to know everyone." Phil explains with a clap of his hands. All of us comply and part our separate ways, that is until Dadza commands Techno and I to stay behind.

"You two need make sure nobody seems to mean harm. Having this much royalty in one room can easily be the lighting of a fire nobody wanted or needed to burn. Ok?" we nod "thank you, you can go now." He grins ear to ear as if what he just said wasn't absolutely terrifying.

I walk around introducing myself to people I think look either really nice, and some looking a bit sketchy. "Hello Ma'am." I greet with a soft smile.

"Oh hello dear you're Y/n if I remember correctly right?" the older women speaks smoothly.

"Yes ma'am that would be me."

"It is lovely to finally be meeting you. I have heard many amazing things about you." her white hair moves a bit as she speaks to me.

"The pleasure is mine." I giggle "I hope you're having a good night! Are you here with anyone?" I begin a deeper conversation.

"Yes actually; My grandson is here. You know what? Let me go grab him, I will be right back sweetheart." With that she walks into the crowd of people looking for her presumable grandson. As I wait, I look around and take in a deep breath closing my eyes. The smell of expensive perfumes and expensive clothing fills my senses, I then feel a light tap on my shoulder, it was the older lady who I've learned is named Dorothy.

"Y/n this is my grandson Jax." It was a younger boy, probably about ten.

"Well hello there how are you?" I ask in a kind childlike voice.

"I'm good! I made some friends here so I'm happy. Oh and there's chocolate over there so I am very happy." He grins, chocolate surrounding his lips. Dorothy scoffs as she pulls a cloth out and begins wiping of her grandson's face.

"I'm glad you're having fun you seem like a great person the be friends with." and with that I heard  scream from across the room. My head shoots up, eyes scanning for the source of the noise. "Stay with your Grandma Jax, I need to go make sure everything is ok."

I speed walk towards the noise and find techno holding the limp body of what seems to be a younger woman, surrounded in a pool of blood.

"Techno what's going on." Phil was saying before I could even process what is happening right in front of me. My ears were met with another gut wrenching scream and all of the guests began running towards the door or looking for somewhere to hide. Looking up I see a figure in a black cloak and a sward step to the front behind Mumza. This is when it all starts.
