His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

Chapter 6

6. An Attempt
EVANGELINE.

“Take her to my room.” Zedkiel had commanded, and two guards had immediately stepped forward.

I looked at Sinclair, hoping for one last chance for a miracle, but he simply cast me a final glance of regret before he turned and left through the same doors his father did moments earlier.

I was left in the Prince’s room, and even I didn’t miss the look of pity in the eyes of the guards.

“She’ll be dead by morning.” I heard them say as they shut the door.

“Pity, she’s so young too, to think the Welhavens raised her and just discarded her…”

I fell to my knees on the cold floor of the Prince’s quarters. It was far more modern than the rest of the castle I had seen, but like the prince, even his personal quarters were dark and cold.

There was no expression or feeling to the room.

I placed my face in my hands, sobbing into them.

What did I do to deserve this?

I really did try to be the best I possibly could, but it wasn’t enough…

Wiping the tears away, I looked around. This couldn’t be the end.

Forcing myself, I got to my feet and after scanning the room, I noticed it didn’t have a window. I hurried to one of the three doors on the other side of the room, the first was locked, and I rushed to the second, not giving up.

Luckily, it opened and I stepped inside, realising I was in Zedkiel’s bedroom. To my relief, I saw this room had a window. It was the only thing that didn’t match the modern interior of the room with its sharp pointy dome-like shape, and the intricate metal design around the edge of the dark frame.

Please open…

I didn’t know how, but I was sure he wouldn’t come up so soon… if I could get away, I would leave Dark Falls immediately. I’ll go far, far away. I’ll live amongst humans. I’ll get a job or something, anything would be better than staying here to be killed.

With shaky fingers, I brushed away my tears, pulling at the window handle. It opened pretty easily, and relief flooded me, but the moment I looked down I felt sick. It was high… extremely high.

“That or stay here and die.” I whispered, stepping away from the window.

I removed my heels, pushing them under the bed before I rolled my dress up to my knees and returned to the window,

I stared up at the cloudy sky. It was going to rain soon… if it did, it would mask my scent…

Gingerly I climbed out of my window, this room was towards the back of the castle and even the gardens below were lit with far fewer lights.

“Goddess help me.” I whispered as I squeezed out of the window, I lost my hold and almost fell, I grabbed hold of the ledge just in time, my heart thundering in my chest.

I didn’t think this through…

Deep breaths Evangeline…

I bit my lip as I slowly climbed down, grateful that the stone wall provided plenty of footing. It was hard, trying to find good niches to grip onto was difficult and at times I lost my grip. My nails were broken, as I dug into any hold I could find and I had cut and scraped myself several times.

At times, I froze when I heard someone approaching, yet luckily no one looked up.

Soon I was a few feet from the ground, but I dared not drop, if someone heard…

Twenty minutes later I was finally out through the gates, I broke into a run, my mind racing.
