Chapter 14

After Lex had bought Chloe to her room one night ago both had laid down each in their separate room and with equal smiles on their faces as they travelled over into dreamland.

On the next morning Lex was woken by bloody scream coming from the floor upstairs. It took him just a few seconds to jump up from his bed to take his sword (after it had been given back to him from Chloe) and run upstairs.

He saw all the people standing in front of Chloe's room…the room where just hours ago he had taken Chloe for her to get some sleep.

A maid stood in the middle of what was left over of Chloe's room, Siobhan not far behind her. All around them were feathers from a ripped pillow, on the bed laid a knife covered in blood just like the rest of the room.

Things like clothes and candles were lying on the floor and the curtains that surrounded Chloe's bed were hanging down in shreds. Siobhan was the first to react she calmed the people down and then asked them to leave the room.

Then she saw Lex who was standing in the door and looked like he was soon fainting and at the same time like he would explode at any moment. Relief washed over her as she saw that Lucas and Clark were coming towards them.

They too looked the room over and as they finished they looked very pale. Lucas went over to Siobhan and the two together with Clark looked over to the door where Lex stood just minutes ago.

Meanwhile Lex had slide down the wall and was now kneeling in front of the bloody bed. A tear was running down his face as he saw just how much blood she must have lost. From the look of it she could be already dead.

Another tear escaped his eye and made its way down his cheek till it reached his chin and from there it fall down to the floor.

Lex couldn't hear a single of all the comforting words that were spoken to him all he could hear was his heartbeat beating faster and faster in his chest till he thought it would stop beating at all.

Meanwhile you could hear a dark evil laugh that escaped Adam Black whose soul was as black as his name.

And you could read the following part in the book:

The second step had been made

And the princess has to take,

All the pain that will come,

And break the heart of her soul.

But there is no hope lost

And it doesn't madder what it cost.
