Once again I make Merrick sound like a panzy but he has a reason. Ok anyways … on with chapter 6.

Chapter 6

There was yelling, he looked up from the ground and saw fire. He stood quickly and grabbed the Princess's arm.

"Get inside the palace quick."

"What's happening?"

"Get inside now; don't come out until I get you."

He looked at her as she nodded her head and went inside. He ran off following the people towards the fire. He ran down the street weaving in and out of the crowd of people. When he reached the fire, people turned to look at him.

"That's him… that's the one who lives here."

He could hear the whispering all around him, as he walked closer to the fire. His face widened in horror as he saw the house covered in flames.

"NOOO!"

He tried to get to the house but was held back by a group of men. He tried to free himself from their grip but they only held onto him tighter.

"VITALINE!"

His voice rose trying to get through the sounds of women screaming, the children crying, and the men who held him back telling him he has to calm down. People kept throwing water on flames, as it continued to destroy the house. One hour later, they had finally managed to water down the flames enough, for one person to go in and see if anything or anyone had survived. A man came out of the house and walked over to Merrick; he placed his hand on his shoulder and didn't say anything. Merrick looked past the man, tears forming in his eyes, as they brought out the remains of his dead sister. Merrick looked at her closely and noticed something was sticking out of her stomach, as his eyes widened with horror.

Merrick's POV

"NO!" I yelled as I woke up in a cold sweat.

"Merrick," Cole said as he sat up beside me. "What's wrong?"

"Merrick," Cole said, when I didn't answer. "Merrick, are you ok?"

I rested my head in my hands, I could tell Cole was looking at me, his face with that worried look on it.

"Merri-"

"What," I snapped, looking up at him. "Sorry, I just had a bad dream."

"You want to talk about it?"

"Not really," I said, barely able to get the words out, I looked up at Cole; I could feel the tears stinging my face.

Cole knew something was wrong and I felt him take me into his arms, and once again he let me cry in his arms. I could hear his steady breaths, as I continued to cry.

'Why is this happening to me?'

'Merrick.'

I pulled away from Cole and looked around.

"What's wrong baby?"

"Please tell me you just called my name."

"I haven't said anything."

I reached for my pants and put them on; I stood up and started walking towards the front of the cave. Once again it was pouring rain out; the sky was dark gray, thunder and lighting every few minutes.

'Merrick'

"Who's there?" I yelled into the dark sky as thunder boomed.

'You never were that bright were you Merrick.'

"What are you talking about? What do you want from me?"

'Revenge'

"Revenge… for what? What did I do to you? I don't even know you."

'Oh but you do.'

"Then who are you?" I heard laughing behind me, I turned as I was hit and sent flying over to a rock. I looked up from where I lied on the ground; he stood there crouching down next to me.

"Vitaline told you something a few hours before she died, she asked you not to tell but you did, you knew it was a death sentence for her."

"What are y-," his hand wrapped around my throat.

"Shut up and listen Merrick," I could barely breathe as his hand tightened around my throat. "She told you she was pregnant, she wasn't married which you knew was wrong. Especially in your family, your father ended up finding out about it."

"I never told him," I said through gritted teeth.

"No you told your princess and one of the guards over heard you, and that guard just happened to be close to your father and he told him. It's your fault that your sister is dead, if you hadn't told the princess your sister would have lived."

"Who are you? How do you know all this?"

"How do I know… I know because I was the father of that child, and the brother of the guard. I am seeking revenge for your sister, and I'll start by killing the one you love so dearly," he let go of my throat and disappeared.

"Cole," I got up and ran as fast as I could to the cave hoping I would make it in time.
