Frozen Poppies

chapter 25

///TW// Blood//death//description of death///

In the corner of his eye he saw them. Spread of the floor. Looks of  horror haunting their faces. Scott stopped dead in his tracks.  He peeped through the gaps between the chests. A small squeak escaped his lips when the realisation hit him. They are dead. They have been murdered.

Scott started to back away from the scene when his back hit something. Or more, Someone. He turned his head slowly and saw a dark, shadowy figure looming over him. Large horns rested on its head. A sharp toothed grin spread along its face. 

Scott once gain started to back away, this time from the figure that loomed over him. "Do you not recognize me?" It spoke. Scott shook his head. "How about this?" It pulled something out of thin air. A crown, his brother's crown. The red, purple and black gems imbedded into the gold and silver twisted base. It was unmistakable. "X-Xornoth" "Yes" "W-why" "Why what Scott" "Why did you kill them?" "I got rid of the problem. The one thing, the two people who could ruin our lives. Who have ruined our lives. The problems one. Over. No more them. No more problems. We can be happy Scott. I did it for you."

Those last word stuck. "I did it for you". His brother had become a murderer. And his motive, Protecting Scott. The one person he trusted with his life. A murderer for him. Scott looked at his brother petrified. Scared at what Xornoth had become. Only a few hours had past since Scott left the house. And within that time, Xornoth had murdered both their parents, had his appearance distorted and had become unrecognizable. 

A shriek sounded from behind the brothers. Xornoth's head whipped around and stared at the maid, the elf had just walked in and saw the two. The blood and The two bodies of the now dead king and his wife.

Scott slipped past Xornoth as A tentacle like thing, emerged from the ground. Wrapping around the maid and killing her. When Xornoth turned back to where Scott had been, he was missing. Xornoth knew exactly where his brother was heading and flew after the elf.

Scott was heading to spawn. If he made it there was no turning back. all he had to do was reach a book, write a name and press a button. The whole server would reset and the one name in the book would be erased. 

Unfortunately for Xornoth, he was too late when he had arrived. Scott had already written his name in the book and was pressing the button. "S-SCOTT ST-"

A white flash. And the book, button and Xornoth had all disappeared. While he and 10 others were put in a circle in the Jungle.

No more Xornoth for a while now. Sorry for the slow updates. I'm not doing great mentally and motivation isn't much. Schools draining as well and my dance competition yesterday (dancing for 10 hours) was tiering as well. Hope y'all have a good day and I'll try to get this thig updated again soon. Thank you for all the support and reads. Bye. <3
