Gregor's jaw automatically dropped open. Sara barely moved. Luxa came scurrying in, just as her hand went to her temple. "W-what has happened?" was what Luxa said, loudly. "I-I walked in. And he-he was just there!" Dulcet said, nearly wailing. "I do not know what happened!" she said, still crying. A bunch of people came running in, with a stretcher. They loaded the body on the stretcher. Luckily, Boots and Lizzie weren't with Dulcet. Gregor didn't want them to see this. "And many more to go." Sara whispered, tears in her eyes. Gregor understood what she meant. In the prophecy, it said many will die, or it implied it. Gregor couldn't really remember. Suddenly, a tall, strong, boy, Gregor guessed was about seventeen, came running in. "No this cannot be happening! Not again!" the boy said. "Oh, Mason, this is a first. You show up! Not that you have any sympathy! For anyone!" Sara said, still tears in her eyes, but angered, a hurt, fierce look, quickly passed her face. "No. I have empathy. I cannot show up. It only brings me to tears." Mason said gently, he was weeping. People in the room have exited by this time, except Mason, Gregor, Luxa, and Sara. The blood seemed to have been cleaned up already. "This is why I have horrid thoughts about you." Sara snarled, and glided out of the room, "Well, I would say the same thing about you!" Mason called back to her. "Oh, stop fighting! You both know you did something wrong to each other, so forgive each other!" Luxa said, annoyed, arms crossed. Gregor had no idea what was going on. Gregor, so badly, wanted to know whose body it was. The one who bled to death. He felt bad. Especially more, if it was someone he knew.
As they were walking, Gregor asked Luxa, "Why do Mason and Sara fight so much?" Gregor blurted out. He didn't mean to. It just slipped out. It took Luxa a long time to respond. She let out an annoyed sigh, and explained, "They are both soldiers and guards. They have much conflict against each other. I do not know why. Once they tried to kill each other, and they were both in the hospital for a very long time. Sara was in longer. They both annoy me." she said quickly and quietly. "Oh. Well, I think, uh, never mind." Gregor didn't know what to say. It sounded pretty gruesome, trying to kill one another. "Gregor, ah, and Luxa." Gregor turned and saw Vikus. He looked pretty happy, considering there would be a war pretty soon. "I have heard the spinners found about of your arrival, Gregor." Vikus said, not looking as happy as before. "How do they know?" Gregor asked, "Oh. I believe there may be some humans on their side. I do not know why a human would go on their side. It is preposterous!" Vikus replied, angrily. The humans being on the enemy's side, that reminded Gregor of Henry. Henry joined the rats' side, he believed they'd give him royalty, but they only drew him death. "Wait, so that makes me guess if the trades will be ending." Luxa suddenly said, she probably knew the trading between the humans and the spiders will most likely be ending. Vikus sighed. "Yes, let us forget that problem, and I will meet you in the dining area."
At the dinner table, once they sat down, Gregor realized Sara was joining them. Gregor turned his head, and saw Vikus walking with a little boy, about three or four. "And I am going to marry her! Then nothing bad will happen!" the boy said, Vikus laughed, "Have you asked her?" Vikus asked they boy, "No, but I will now!" the boy replied, and ran up to the table. "Sara, will you marry me?" the boy asked, not that seriously but, Sara burst out laughing, she laughed so hard, she almost fell off the chair. Gregor and Luxa started laughing too, then Vikus joined in, and soon the whole table was laughing. "That sounds like a yes to me!" Vikus laughed. The boy smiled, "And why?" Sara asked the boy, still laughing. Obviously this was funny, but the boy seemed serious. "So nothing bad will happen. My mother says good follows you." the little boy laughed, as if it was obvious. Sara started laughing, and she almost choked. "Well, this certainly brightens up my day!" Luxa was still giggling, but she had the hiccups. Gregor's dad was just finishing a laugh, and Lizzie was too, and Boots, who didn't know what was going on, had a confused look on her face. "Mitchell, I turn my back for five seconds, and you are already getting married!" A girl, about thirteen, walked in, picked up the boy, silently nodded, and walked out. "That boy is so funny!" Sara sighed, "I do hope this is a joke." "I don't know, he sounded pretty serious" Gregor teased. That set Sara on another string of laughter, she couldn't stop this time.
"That was an interesting dinner." Gregor's dad yawned, "Hey, Gregor, we didn't get to talk today." Lizzie yawned, lay down, and fell asleep in a few minutes, Dulcet had Boots, and was giving her a bath. "Oh, sorry, there was a lot going on today." Gregor replied, quietly, "Yeah, I guess." then a sleepy Boots walked into the room. "I mmm ti-high-er-her-d" Boots yawned, loudly, and climbed into bed with Lizzie.
Something woke Gregor, it was his dad, going out into the hall, not only that, but Gregor thought he heard something else. Gregor watched his dad, and he saw a sword stop his dad, it didn't stab him, but it did stop him from moving any further. "Halt! We are watching out. We expect another death." Gregor heard someone whisper. A boy by the sounds of it. "Sorry." His dad whipered, and walked back into the room. As his dad walked in, he paused as a long, sharp, ear piercing scream floated around, Gregor's dad shot out of the room, and Gregor ran out. When they got to the source of the scream, Gregor saw a girl, with long silvery blonde hair, and violet eyes, but a face too familiar. She was catching her breath, as if she was just being choked.
The girl was Stellovet.
