Alyss smiled at the young child in front of her leading the way to the dining hall. It was so sweet. Somewhere inside of her, she knew that there must have been an event to happen for everyone to be this accepting of her.
With a gasp the child was torn away from her grasp and Alyss felt herself thrown sideways. Just in time she managed to grab onto the railing preventing herself from flying down the stairs. The force however threw her into the top floor and her ankle broke. After letting out a little squeak of pain Alyss pulled herself back up.
She slowly raised her eyes up to the level of her attackers when her sight cleared again to see him drop the little girl to the floor. Alyss let out a small scream and dragged herself forwards to where the body lay. She checked for a pulse and found none. There was no life left in the girl.
The man smirked at her and then nodded. Just as Alyss took this opportunity to open her mouth to start shrieking her lungs out.
As she did so a man who had hid behind her, hit Alyss over her head and threw her down the stairs.
It was two hours later when a person next found the need to use the stairs and unfortunately for the poor maid, she came across the childs body as well as Alyss' down the bottom of the stairs. She let out an ear piercing scream and ran away from the scene of the crime right into Gilan. The poor woman bowled the unsuspecting man over and they both went tumbling to the ground. Gil couldn't help but let out an interesting word in response.
Then he saw the woman's face.
"Are you alright?" he asked quickly. She shook her head.
"There has been two murders!" she said as she pointed behind her. As Gil looked in that direction, the woman took off again, not really telling him where she found the bodies. Once again Gil let out his annoyance through his choice of words .
The corridor that he ran down had little natural light available and what light there was provided by a dying torch.
Gilan reached the top landing of the stairs and found the broken girls body. He muttered a curse upon those who hurt children when he realised she was dead. Next Gil searched for the other person mentioned. He was about to give up and just deal with the little girl when he realised he was at the top of a stairway that had been over looked in the low light. Slowly Gil walked to the bottom and found Alyss.
His first response was to yell out her name as he rushed towards her. Next he checked for a pulse as he mentally apologised to Will and was relieved to find one. He picked up her limp body and ran to the infirmary. It was now fairly obvious that someone was targeting her.
Is this an update you say? *gasp*
Why yes it is :)
I don't really have a reason why this is only coming out this late but I have decided that until this story is finished I will try to update once a week...
Once a day might just be pushing it for me unless I get enough reviews, but even then I have a track record of being late.
And for all of you who though I had disappeared into the distance, I haven't. I just haven't been typing things up. In fact I have 3 new stories to type up for you all but I refuse until I have finished this one at the very least, maybe some more!
I will triumph...
eventually :)
But now onto story time!
So. I got this new computer for school and I love it. It works just like I wanted and the keyboard is really nice to type on. I was completely happy with it because it was fairly cheep as well. Then I had to take it to the school people to do something fancy with it and it refused to work for days on end. Full stop! And it was only a day old!
Anyway, Imanaged to get it working thankfully and with no help from the IT people but now I don't want to bring it in any more... What do you all think?
