''ELLA!'' She heard some people shout.
And the next moment she was being dragged out of her room by Thomas. He rested her against the wall of corridor and tried to calm her down. ''Sshhh.... its okay, we are here. Don't worry.'' he said softly.
Everyone had run to Ella's room the moment she started screaming. Eric came out of Ella's room and said: ''Thomas, father is calling you, I will take care of her.''
Thomas turned to Ella holding her face gently in his hands and said: ''Ella, everything is going to be okay. You just don't worry. Okay?'' With that Thomas left her and entered her room to see what was going on.
He entered the room and saw everyone around Ella's bed. ''What's going on?'' he asked walking up to them.
''Elbert- Elbert is dead.'' Queen Harriet replied. Thomas noticed the shock in her voice. She showed him the same stone tablet he was waving in the air when he went to receive King Desmond's family, but ... it was broken... into two pieces.
''The tablet I gave him for the protection of the palace, its broken. Which means the charm has lifted.'' she completed her sentence looking at the bloody bed and probably the head which was on top of it.
''That's not it,'' King Raymond turned to him handing him a pale yellow page with three blood spots on it. Thomas took the letter and began reading:
My regards to everyone, (especially Ella)
I hope you have not forgotten about me. Even if you have I would like to remind you something. Some years from now, I swore to take over her kingdom after the death of her parents. My way is clear from her brother because he is a rogue and a traitor, as it is a rule that blood traitors can't take part in kingdom, so I would like you to hand over the princess, so that I can take over her kingdom PEACEFULLY. And if you try to stop me, then you will see dead bodies every day.
Yours truly.
Xavier.

Eric picked up Ella and went to his room. He laid her on his bed, pulled the covers on her and sat beside her. Ella had started crying, Eric came over to her side and put his arms around her.
''W-who's dead?'' Ella asked shakily.
''Ella you should not be asking questions in this state, take some rest we will talk later.'' Eric replied cradling her in his arms and rubbing her back gently.
''I-I just have a feeling th-that this happened because of m-me.'' Ella said closing her eyes tightly because that horrible scene kept coming in her mind.
''Sshh... don't cry, don't cry none of this is your fault. Don't let these thoughts consume you...'' he said pressing his lips on the top of her head to calm her.
''Oh, I'm so scared! He told me, he warned me.'' Ella said burying her head in Eric's chest as more tears started falling down her cheeks.
''Who told you what, Ella?'' Eric asked in a serious tone.
''David said that the time was not good and I had to be careful.'' Ella continued to sob.
Eric gently lifted her face with his hands and wiped away her tears with his thumbs. ''Ella you don't have to be scared. We with you, we won't let anyone harm you or even come near you. I promise.'' he then placed a soft kiss on her forehead and said: ''You should sleep now. We will then go to a walk tomorrow morning.''
Ella nodded and rested her head on Eric's chest and closed her eyes, waiting for sleep to take over her mind thinking how much more bad things had to come her way.
