Protector of the Crown

Chapter Fifteen

Nickolous’s Pov.

She was gone. I let her slip through my fingers. I watched her disappear with the man who killed the man who lead the attack to kill her family and friends.

I looked at Henry, Avis, Zachary and Odilia. Henry looked shocked, Avis looked angry, Zachary looked upset and Odilia looked slightly guilty.

Zachary had his arm around Odilia and she began to cry on his shoulder. “Odilia?” I asked stepping closer to her.

She looked up, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know this was going to happen. Please don’t hate me.” She sobbed.

“Odilia what are you talking about?” I asked her. She shook her head tears soaking her face and dress as she fled the room. Zachary chased after her calling her name.

Avis walked over to me and placed a comforting hand on my arm. “We’ll get her back.” Avis assured me. She looked at Henry who was glaring at me. “Right Henry?”

“Oh yes. Every will turn out splendid for him.” He said in a bitter voice.

“Henry what’s wrong?” Avis asked.

Henry replied, “Nothing. Nothing is wrong.” He said again in a bitter voice. Avis glared at him, “We were all fine until he decided to follow Audrey. How did that work out for you?”

“Henry!” Avis gasped.

“I’m sorry I don’t know everything. But you do, you could have told us!” I shouted at him.

Avis glared at both of us, “Stop it both of you!” She looked at Henry, “Why are you acting like this? We will find Audrey and she will be fine. So what are so upset about?”

Henry looked at her very upset, “That I never man up and tell you how I feel about you!” He yelled frustrated as he stormed from the room.

Avis watched him leave with her mouth hanging open, she glanced at the way he came then at me. “Well don’t just stand here go talk to him!” I pushed her. She just nodded like she was in a daze. She then ran after him.

I watched as she ran after him, and smiled. But then I remembered that Audrey was alone with Leofwin and his army. I should be there to protect her! He should have taken me instead of her! If she dies I will never be able to forgive myself. If she gets turned into one of those things!

I ran from the room to find my parents.

I ran into their room and saw my mother lying on a bed with my father holding one of her hands, he had tears in his eyes. “Father?” I asked.
