The Empire Of The Rose

The Falcon Bloodline [III]

 "What's going on here?" I asked confused as I headed towards there, why would they be restraining Olivia in the first place?

"We had no choice but to bring her here, she just flipped out and started to scream lots of things in Russian, then she told everyone to get ready for the attack." One of the hunters explained to me.

"The attack, what attack are you going on about?" I asked as I frowned confused.

It was alarming for anyone to be mentioning an attack given the fact that everything had been dead quiet for the past weeks, the attacks and treats had ceased altogether, and this was only but alarming meaning that the rebels among with William were plotting something against us.

I nodded and got near Olivia seeing how the tears rolled down her cheeks and how she weakly struggled to free her arms from their grip.

"Can you please leave me alone with her for a whole?" I asked in a soft voice.

Gael one of the guards who was currently restraining Olivia's wrists stared at me unsure.

"Do you think that's a good idea, she was practically lashing out on everyone seconds ago." Gael told me but either way I nodded, I needed to clear things with her.

"Yes, I need to speak with her alone." I said as Olivia slowly sat up on the bed after they released her.

Once we were alone, I slightly cleared my throat and sat on the end of the bed.

"Olivia, what's going on?" I asked her in a soft voice; to be honest she scared me right now.

Olivia gave a sigh rubbing her hands against her face in frustration and in tiredness.

"No one will listen to me Alice, they think I've gone mad, but I haven't, they have to listen." Olivia told me but she really didn't make any sense.

"Listen to what Olivia?" I asked her as I frowned confused.

"To me, I know for a fact that in any moment he will be here." Olivia said as she got up from the bed.

"Who are you referring to?" I asked her still puzzled, she was making no sense at all.

Olivia zipped up her jacket and gave me a significant look.

"I know that William will be here at any moment, he heard about Jerome so it's only a matter of time before he comes here to claim you." Olivia told me in a shaky voice.

"You need to relax Jo, even if William gets here, he won't be able to do anything or hurt anyone." I said trying to calm her down but at the same time I couldn't help myself and wounded, what could possibly be going on that Olivia was shaking in fear.

Olivia shook her head and I saw how badly she was fighting to not cry.

"You don't understand Alice; William will do anything to bring Brittany back, but you must not allow that. Brittany is a vicious and evil woman who won't stop at anything." Olivia said trying to convince me.

I frowned at her.

"Olivia you nearly sound as if you knew Brittany very well." I said as I stared at her intently trying to read her expression.

Olivia took a deep breath and slowly nodded.

"Believe it or not I know Brittany better than anyone else." Olivia said in a fearful voice.

Before I could say anything back, we heard a huge thunder that sent a horrible wave of chills down my spine.

Without thinking twice, I rushed to the common hall of the infirmary and saw how a beautiful sunny day soon turned into a dark thunderstorm.
