CHAPTER 78
Austen returned home, totally exhausted. He knew their mother wouldn’t be back until two days time so he didn’t bother calling out to her.
“Sabrina, I’m home…”he shouted, taking the Tv remote from beside him on the couch and switching on the Tv.
Hearing nothing for about two minutes, he left the living room and went into the kitchen, and then straight to her room but only to meet nothing.
It’s 11:56 PM and almost 12 as he looked at the wall clock.. Wasting no time, he got the keys of his motorbike from his trouser back pocket and ran outside her room.
Getting to his motorbike, he drove down the road even though he knew not where she could have gone.
He started thinking… reminiscing on the few days he’d asked about how her day had been.
‘Just coming back from the palace. You know, at Lucian’s.’
‘Oh, our prince. No need to tell but I have the idea you have a crush on him.”
‘Arrgh, stop with the teasing… Austen!”
He quickly reversed and drove straight to the palace. It wasn’t that far away and he hopes to get there just in time.
Getting down from his motorbike thirty minutes later, he knocked on the palace gate.
After two to three knocks, the security guard opened up and looked back at him.
“Yes, how may I help you?”the security asked, looking rather bored.
“I’m Sabrina’s brother, she often comes here to… uhm- to meet up with the Prince and geez, nevermind. Is she in?”he said, messing up with his words as he ends his statement looking as furious as ever.
The security looked around, sighing as the dark night stared right back at him. It was late already.
“Yes, she was here but an hour ago, Prince Seth had rushed her away to the hospital.”the security guard answered him.
Austen’s face glowered with anger. He ran his hand through his air and puffed out a breath, before looking back at the guard.
“Which one exactly?”he asked impatiently.
“ThyGreen hospital, I think. Since it’s near and…”
Austen turned away from the guard, no longer interested in staying longer to hear the rest of the guard’s unnecessary speech. He’d rather not wait his time.
He got back on his motorbike and ignited its engine, reversing so hastily.
“Don’t you think it’s late already?”the guard asked, speaking louder. He clamped his mouth shut when he saw Austen shot him a burning glare.
“It’s never too late for my sister.”he muttered back before speeding off.
ONCE UPON A KINGDOM : CHAPTER 71 – THE END
Three men with their faces covered up with black masks shuffled around the room, discarding his and everywhere. They were furious they couldn’t see their target.
“We choosed this time of the night and yet, our efforts are as good as nothing.”A low grunt came from one of them.
“As per indicated, this is his room. It couldn’t be that we are at the wrong room. It’s just take we missed the target.”the other spoke, letting back open the window.
“It’s too dangerous in here. It would be a disaster if we happened to be caught. We had better get out of here.”the third man who looked the biggest of all said with his gruffy voice.
Now in accordance, one after the door, they would hold onto the tightly tied piece of clothing and climb it down the palace wall. Till, they were finally down on the ground.
Again, one after the other, they jumped the fence and crossed over, falling down on the other side of the fence.
That they did till they were all out of the palace premises. Quickly, they made their escape.
