HER HEARTLESS MONSTER : CHAPTER 21 – 30
By Naomi Cindy B.
The first one got the matchsticks, and the second one got the gasoline.
They wet the fortress walls and grounds up till the cemented steps in the front porch with the gasoline, then they went down the steps.
They made sure they’re far away from the house enough before lightning up a matchstick.
Just as they were about to throw it inside, a hit landed on their necks from behind, and they both landed on the dried leaves on the ground.
A masked figure ran forward into the fortress and bursted the door open.
With a slash of his long knife, he cut the rope from the ceiling, and Twilight’s limp body fell heavily on the ground.
He brought a bottled water out of his jacket pocket and opened it fast, pouring it down on her face.
Immediately the splashes hit her skin, Twilight coughed back to life.
He dropped the keg immediately, then he ran out of the fortress.
“Hey!” Twilight stood and tried going after him, but her eyes turned around, and she fell back to the ground.
Her throat was itching so bad, and blood is still escaping her nose, but despite the pains, she still struggled back to her feet and staggered out of the room.
The whooshing wind from outside slapped her in the face, and she almost fell back again, but she held the doorframe, leaning solidly on it.
There’s no sign of the guy anymore. He’s totally gone.
Her mind flashed back to her dreams, and she gulped.
The guy in her dreams always wears black outfits either suits or shirts, and this guy who just saved her is putting on black too.
Does that mean he’s the one? Does that…
A slashing headache interrupted her thoughts, and she grabbed her forehead again as incessant coughs escaped her throat.
“Twi!!!” Echo’s voice reached her.
“Twilight!” Tamlin’s voice came second.
“Twilight!!!” Damien and Rihannon’s conjoined yell came too.
Twilight went on her knees, trying to form a word.
The rope her neck was tied with must have damaged something in her throat.
Speaking is a task right now.
“Twi!!!” Echo’s yell came again, closer this time.
“I…I’m …here… Echo!” Twilight finally was able to talk in broken stutters.
“Twilight?” Tamlin’s voice came from behind a shrub, and his eyes widened when he saw her almost naked like that.
He ran up to her immediately, taking off his jacket and covering her upper body with it.
“Don’t take it off, you’d freeze to death” he said, but she couldn’t even form a word.
“Hey Isob… Twilight!” He quickly corrected himself.
“Oh…it’s the arrogant.. jerk” Twilight muttered in recognition, and he immediately picked her up in his arms.
Damien, Echo and Rihannon ran up that same moment.
“Hand her over” Damien said and tried to take her.
“Do you enjoy crossing me everytime? I’m not giving her over, ok? I got her first and I’m taking her with me” Tamlin glared.
“This ain’t the time to fight, get her to the castle!” Rihannon said.
“Twi are you ok?” Echo asked worriedly, but Twilight was too tired to reply as Tamlin ran down the steps with her.
Rihannon pulled Damien, and they began running after him, towards the castle.
Ruslan stayed back though.
He entered the fortress and looked around, picking up the rope Twilight was hung with.
The knot in it was definitely done by someone from Wesley family. He has seen Tamlin and Imogen’s knot before, and they’re the only ones who knot like this.
It’s definitely not Imogen, it’s not Tamlin, and it’s surely not Lord Vann.
That only leaves just one option.
He dropped the rope and rushed out of the fortress.
