Chapter 21 - Sinister Plot

" Our royal family are being held against their will, and we are being chased. "Prince Fui breathed in a sigh of relief, " Thanks to you we are alive"

" What are your next step?" I asked, if they have the thought of revenge it was going to take a lot to accomplish.

" That-" Prince Bei looked quite troubled.

" We... don't have any right now" Prince Fui said.

It has nothing to do with me, but I would be troubled if I didn't help them out. " How about coming back with me?"

" How could we intrude on you! You've already helped us with a lot benefactor," Grand said.

" How about this... you guys seem quite strong so how about becoming my personal bodyguard. In exchange you can come back with me and you can leave when you finally are strong enough." It would be a he win she win situation since they were strong and we would get a strong body guard in exchange.

" Or is it beneath your status to become my bodyguard?"

" No no of course not!" Yelled Prince Bei

I smiled, " you're hired!"

The night passed by quietly as the beast lay in wait. When the sun rose all the beasts were gone, we packed up and began to move.

I felt my chest tighten when I started to think about Shin, was he ok? We moved faster through the forest as I could stop worrying.

" Where did you say you saw a man?" I asked Granda.

" It was near the center of the forest, we couldn't take him with us so we hid his body inside a tree in a hurry," Prince Bei said.

" I'm sorry we didn't take him with us-" Granda said.

" No, it's ok!" I couldn't help worrying. Granda said they encountered a wounded man with a veil on his face and he was badly injured. Could it be Shin? I didn't care if he wasn't, but I had to check.

" Benefactor it should straight in front of us, where there is a big hole on the ground." Granda said.

I called out to pot in my head and asked for a speed pill.

" I'll be heading out first and you guys can catch up with me later."

Thanks to the speed pill I was much faster, I ran and I ran. Up in the front I saw a the big hole and I began looking for the tree that had the man inside of it.

I couldn't find him...WHY? Where? WHERE!

There were bloody marks inside this tree, but no one was there.

" Shin!" I yelled and yelled.

He's dead, I heard someone whispered. NO! NO! NO! no no....

Tap! Tap! Tap! I heard a tapping near me.

I looked up and I saw a bloody hand tapping on the tree. "Shin!" I jumped and climbed on the tree.

The condition I saw Shin's body in terrified me. His body was badly mutilated and he was barely breathing. " Pill!" I said.

Lifting his head I fed him the pill and he slowly began to heal. I sat his head on my lap and played with his hair. I felt tears slowly drip down my face, I could have lost another person I cared for, I was deeply scared.

I felt a hand wipe my tears away, " Shin.." I said in between tears.

Shin pulled down his veil and I saw the most beautiful smile that ever came into existence.

Ba-tump Ba-tump I felt my heart beat really fast in my chest. His purple eyes with golden specks deeply pulled me in and in that moment I felt Shin and I switch position.

BOOM! Shin coughed up blood and pushed me away, " run..." I've always wanted to hear him speak, but not in this way.

" There you were!" A group of man flying in the sky said, " Finally found you and is this the young master you fought so hard to protect?"

" We will capture your young master and torture him in front of his most loved dad for ruining our plan." Said the man in all black, his ugliness almost blinded me.

I saw Shin weakly get up, his strong back was tainted with blood.

I saw Shin get blasted with attacks after attacks, his body was more injured then before. Finally Shin's body gave up on him and he fell.

" NOOOO!" I screamed.
