Chapter 5
Duke Baird had pronounced her deeply poisoned. The liquid in the bottle was a poison from the world's deadliest snake. This potion was also very expensive, so whoever hired Kel's assassins was also very rich.
The first of the assassins got away safely with a twisted ankle and a forever scared face. The second one was not so lucky; he was nailed to the wall by a dozen daggers. All of those daggers had Kel's initials on them.
"Good aim she had even when she was in the dark and lying down. Impressive." Duke Baird had said while he checked her over.
The person was a common lived in the lower-income part of the city. He was skilled in hand to hand combat and sword fighting, but he was also put into jail for several nights because an attempted robbery. Then, her wife reported him missing soon after he got out of jail. No one saw or heard of him since then until he tried to murder Kel that night.
"Good thing that Kel had not drank the poison or you won't even be seeing her body. It has an effect on rotting things." Baird had said to Dom as Dom shivered. "Kel will live for now if another attempted murder was not made." With that, he went back to bed.
Sinking onto the chair once again a week after Kel's second murder attempt, Dom was exhausted. Drifting into his own thoughts about the future that he would spent with Kel, he slowly fell asleep on the comfortable chair.
On the other hand, Kel was battling Scanrans in her dream. This time, she saw those huge, ugly machines in the background. 'The next time I drift into this dream, I will be battling those monsters again. Wait, didn't I kill Bruce already?' (I think. Is it his name?)
She had finished all the Scanrans. Instead of waking up, she saw a picture of Bruce, working on his machines. Then, to her surprise, a lady with lots of jewels around her body, made her way into the shop. Kel guessed that she might be Bruce's lover. 'She could be…' Kel didn't finish her thoughts before feeling the tug she had been expecting when she finished off all the Scanrans. It was the tug to go back to the real world.
Kel woke with a great deal of things on her mind. The trouble was that she couldn't remember any of the thoughts. Looking at her left arm, it was still heavily bandaged. 'Dom,' was the first thing came to mind. He was not in the room right now. Looking out of her window, she could see why. Poor Dom was having an appointment with her squire master, Roaul.
Her window overlooked the practice court. She could see Dom, struggling in his saddle, was predicting when and where Roaul would hit next. Roaul charged, as fiercely as Kel remembered. It all happened so fast, Dom flied out of his saddle and hit the ground, hard.
Kel cannot help it but giggled. It was nice to see someone else flied out of the saddle for a change.
What do you think? I don't want to give the murders names so, don't blame me for not so detail. I would love to make this chapter a little bit longer, but I am planning some fluffs in the next chapter…Read it then!
