Chapter 2: Bitter Endings
Making their way around the streets, Making sure they kept well hidden, they looked around for Cassandra. While they were looking, Malon Looked up at a tower hoping to find just a glimpse of her as they would be able to track her without wondering the streets. Ash could feel Malon was starting to get tired from searching and decided to venture into the castle where the guards and knights stayed.
"We'll be sure to find her room here; all we have to do is pretend we're servants and say we had to clean her room". Feeling proud of his plan, he gently grabbed Malon's hand and made their way into the far side of the castle.
Looking around the rooms for what felt like hours, they heard a familiar voice in one of the rooms "now that I have everything planned out, all I have to do is ask the Queen for an afternoon tea and slip in the poison into her drink and right before she dies in my hands, I'll be holding her crown. When the guards come to find what happened, I'll just say she had a heart attack and she entrusted me with her crown and kingdom...perfect". Smirking, she made her way out of her room, not noticing two pairs of eyes on her every move and made her way out towards the gardens to set out her plan.
Malon and Ash looked at each other frightened of what they heard, quickly made their way into her room. "Ok...we need to look for notes, pictures or anything that has to do with this assassination, got it?" Malon asked Ash quietly, which he nodded his head and went straight to looking.
Within minutes Malon found a scroll in the draws of Cassandras desk, reading what was on there she excitedly turned to Ash "I found it! Now we need to quickly find the Queen Before..."
Cassandra interrupted, standing at the door " ...I don't think so kids, no one will be going anywhere..."
Both Malon and Ash gasped in shock as they turned to find an angry Royal guard holding her sword at her side. Quickly Malon grabbed the scroll and looked over at Ash silently pleading for help, thinking quickly Ash sadly looked at Malon, possibly for the last time and shoved her towards the door, Knocking a surprised Cassandra out of the way.
"Malon I'll keep her distracted, you need to get the scroll to the Queen!" Yelled Ash as he kept his eyes of Cassandra as she started to walk towards them. Malon looked sadly at Ash, feeling it'll be their last time and swiftly lent up to kiss him on the cheek and made a run for it. For only a few seconds Ash stood there in shock, blushing slightly but quickly shook his head and faced Cassandra. Looking for a weapon Cassandra tackled him by surprise and raised her sword above her head. Looking up at her, he knew there's no hope for him...smiling sadly at himself thinking of his short but wonderful time with Malon, he suddenly felt a jolt of pain run through his body gasping for air before everything went black.
Bye Bye Ash... ;~;
