One By One

Chapter 2

i sit down on the white chair. Well the top half is white but the cushions and surrounding areas are red, as red as blood. It's uncomfortable sitting here, on his daughters chair. I notice an image on the wall of the Lord and a construction crafts man standing in the front of a fence with barb wire hanging from the top. It is filled with houses upon houses, all looking identical. 'Please, have a seat.' Comes from the door. The lord is looking back at me just as he walks through the room.

'I was... just...' His head tilts like i remember Iscia's doing when held out a dog treat. I found her once in the woods. Poor pup lost her mum ad was winning by her bedside. I was out trying to find food. At first the wolf growled, then i gave him my only bit of pork. I remember the red slap across my face after my mum head i gave it the last bit of food, so she said we should eat it. The sad thing is, i don't even remember my own mothers face.

'Never-mind.' I sit down on a chair, a far bit away. A brown one which encloses you in a dark hole once you sit down. 'Closer.' The words escape his lips. 'You are not in trouble,' I sit back down on the blood chair. 'I would just like to know if you know... something.' We sit in an awkward silence for a while.

'Last night, around 20 hours ago... there was a fire.' The words hit me hard as i can remember the fireplace i had down stairs from my house, and the smell it left in the air once i was in bed. 'It was at the candle shop. It was assumed one candle just fell over and lit up the house, until we found a body with stab wounds, and a slit across the neck. We also found a knife, hand made and crafted by your father, 5 years ago. It was the last one sold, until he... passed.' A ball forms in my throat when i hear about my father. 'He was a good man!' I say a bit too loud. 

'Yes.. he was and i never said he wasn't.' The lord's voice is too angry for my liking. 'Anyway, we would like your permission to go through the files in you house of who he sold the weapons to. That will be all.' He stand up and opens the door, gesturing i should leave.

'Don't you want an answer?' I ask, as i stand. 'No need. Felix has called for you. We can chat later.' After i was out of that door you can bet i was sprinting. From what, or to what? I don't know. My house and family is gone, and in every dark corner of this place, i am bound to be found. Where i will be found?

It's all up to time..
