1012 part1
'Get your brother and leave' her father's words echoed in her mind as she looked out of the window trying to see past the heavy rains for any sign of her brother.
I would leave with my brother if I can find him thought Sayera. She saw one of her maid servants running towards her 'Lord Nathanial is here, he is outside in the carriage.'
In the carriage what is he doing there Sayera thought as she ran outside. She saw her brother near the carriage completely drenched and trying to take out something from the carriage.
'Nathanial , where have you been I have been looking for you' said Sayera as she came outside in the rain getting drenched herself ,she was about to complete her sentence when she saw what her brother was trying to take out from the carriage. He was carrying a body of a girl in his hands , she looked dead to Sayera.
Sayera took a closer look at the girl's face and gasped 'Tatia, what happened?' she asked her brother as he laid down the girl's body on the ground.
'They killed her' said her brother 'they used her blood for the ritual all of it'her brother said crying.
'No that's not possible, two of Esther's son's are in love with her, they would never let their mother kill her' Sayera finished.
'But they did' her brother said a little forcefully 'I saw it with my own eyes, I am the only one who truly loves her and no one else, that is why I got her out before Esther could completely finish her.'
Sayera didn't have the heart to tell her brother that he was still too late, Tatia looked dead to her. Her face had gone completely white and her body was cold but she had to tell him. 'Brother' said Sayera in a soft motherly voice 'she is gone' she said as she gently touched her brother's hand.
'No no I cant let her go, you you can help her, I know you can, your kind has that power I know I have heard the stories' said Nathanial. Sayera looked at her brother completely flabbergasted; she couldn't believe what her brother had just suggested.
'I I cant' she said recovering from her initial shock 'its against the law of nature and god' Sayera said standing up and moving away from her brother.
'Please sister, I have never asked you for anything do this for me, I lover her' Nathanial said but still saw denial in his sister's face.
'If you don't do this I will kill myself along with her' said Nathanial.
'Don't be ridiculous brother' said Sayera.
'I don't want to live without her' said Nathanial with determination. Sayera knew in that moment that she had no choice but to agree with her brother, after all she couldn't let him die her father had asked her to protect him. Sayera closed her eyes and said a silent prayer to the Gods of the Great Eastern mountains of Himalayas from where her descendants had come to forgive her.
