Avalon Wonders.

Chapter Nine.

"Forgive me your highness" he said just before his eyes suddenly hardened and then he pulled out a Knife.

At first I was confused, what was he pleading for but now that he's holding a knife and advancing towards me, I think I have an idea or two as to why he's asking for forgiveness.

"Eric, drop the knife, don't do anything stupid" I tried reasoning with him but he's eyes look clouded, I don't think he can hear what I'm saying. With one last look at his murderous expression, I take off running the other way, screaming at the top of my lungs but when I pulled the door, it didn't open. Did he lock it?, Oh God! Now what? I turn around to see him at the bottom of the stairs, knife in hand, waiting for God knows what!.

There's no way i'm dying like this in Here. When I look back, he's climbing up the stairs, slowly making his way towards me. I angrily start banging on the down shouting.

"Help!!! Is anywhere there? Please Open this door!!" I yell at the top of my voice but nothing, no one comes to my aid. I turn to see him just a few feet away with a sinister smirk on his face. This angers me more, not too long ago this castle was crowded with people at every hallway, how is it that no one is coming to help me? or are they all in on it too?

I turn just in time to see him reach out to grab me but I'm tiny compared to him so I easily slip under his hand before he could get me but in the process of eecaping, I lost my footing and I went tumbling down the stairs. By the time I got to the floor, my whole body was hurting, that fall was painful. I lift my head to see Eric racing down the stairs towards where I am currently laid. Shiy!, Fear gripped my heart and to move my limbs at my will became a problem.

When I see him just a few feet away, my survival instincts kick in so I scramble quickly to my feet running to the other door at the other side of the room but before I can reach for the handle, I feel my hair being dragged back then I'm pulled backwards causing me to fall on my butt at his feet on the floor. I look up at him and he smiles as he pulls my hair again causing me to yelp in pain.

He lets go of my hair so i take the opportunity and try to crawl away but this stupid ball gown i had to wear is not helping matters and he pulls me back again, flipping me on my back to face him. I see this as a chance to escape so i use my leg quickly and kick him hard on his knees causing him to double over in pain but before I can act, I feel a sharp sting on my left side where he had just kicked me. My hands immediately flies there as I fall back and rub it, trying to soothe the pain as tears start to form in my eyes.

He roughly pulls me to my feet with my hair, again!. What does this guy have against my hair?!
When I'm standing, I slap him hard across his face causing his head to turn to the side but he doesn't let go. The look in his eyes causes me to tremble in fear but before I could react, he slapped me so hard I fell to the floor and i swear, i saw stars. Bloody hell! that hurt like a bitch!.

He doesn't give me time to attend to the new wound on my left cheek when he kicks my lower abdomen as I hiss and groan in pain on the floor. he does it again but harder and I spit out blood. I see his leg coming down on my face again but I roll to the other side clutching my stomach in pain.

As quickly as I can, I rise to my feet just to have him punch me in the jaw and I fall to the ground again only this time, I'm not sure I can get up again. He walks towards me, knife still in hand as the stands over me, both legs on either side of my body. Wrong move buddy! Before he can stab me, I kick him hard on his jewels and he falls to the side in pain while I crawl towards the knife he had dropped but before I could grab, he pulls on leg so I use my free foot and kick him hard but he doesn't bulge. He gets up pulling me closer to him as i kick my legs out randomly but that doesn't stop him. he jumps on tops of me successfully pinning me on the floor. I struggle in his hold but his grip doesn't lessen, instead he punches me hard on my stomach and i start feeling lightheaded but I don't give up so he punches again but harder this time. I don't think i can take any more of those punches. when he sees that i have stopped struggling, he gets up to retrieve the knife. i would have tried running but my whole body hurts especially my stomach. He comes back with the knife and sits on me again lifting the knife up to stab me but just then i hear the door handle at the side rattling like someone is trying to force their way in.
