Chapter 55 - CHAPTER 55: SAVED!

"Mom… Mom!" Lemuel went back to their place when he didn't find his sisters at their school. he rushes inside in search for his mother but to his surprise, his three sisters were all inside, crying.

"Jenny, Jessie, Jelly!" he rushes to them and inspected them from head to toe. Their unscratched, he sighed a relief. "I thought you were in danger!" he grumbled.

"Big brother… Sarah and the young miss…." Jenny held her trembling mouth. she was crying when Liam entered their house.

"Liam? I thought you were on your way to the next village?" Beth was surprise to see a panting man.

"We were about to, but then…." His eyes landed on the young ladies trembling in fear. "What happened?" he asked.

"Please save them, big brother! Please save Sarah and Diana!" Jessie pleaded.

Liam stood surprised upon hearing a familiar name. Diana? could she be the woman they've been looking for?

"It was our fault. If only we didn't ask them to come with us, then they should have been… they should have been…."

"What exactly happened? Please calm down first and tell us what happened." Lemuel is definitely itching to get up and find the two but he needs to know what exactly happened.

"We were at the marketplace when some fat, bald men blocked our way. We------''

"This Diana that you are talking about, was she a foreigner?" Liam interrupted the young lady.

"Y-yes. d-do you know h----" the lady couldn't finish her statement since Liam dashed outside.

The man mounted Shadows and made it run as fast as he could. It was definitely the woman he's been looking for. Somehow happiness flooded his heart but a bit of anxiety covered his mind.

After a few minutes, Lemuel came out rushing as well, however, Cole and the others had just arrived at their frontyard.

"Lemuel, what's happening?" Cole went to where he was. "How's your sisters?"

"They're alright but their friends are in danger." Lemuel stared at them one by one and they can say he was deeply troubled.

"Where's Liam?" Asher asked as soon as he noticed the man's perplex eyes.

"He went ahead." That moment, Grace had just arrived at the scene. "And I think he found the person you've been looking for." He added.

"You mean the young miss, Diana?" Leon heard Lemuel.

"Yes. and I didn't know it was her." he replied. "But we need to rush because they were being chased by the L-gangs."

"Damn it!" Leon cursed and before they knew, he was already on his way to the marketplace.

Everyone followed as well as Grace. She was alarmed when she heard that they've found the young miss and Liam went to find her. She must find the woman first. Damn! She cursed.

On the other hand, Diana already reached a dead end and there's no way she could escape these men. She caught their attention when her feet tumbled on the table causing a large pot breaks in the ground. That moment, Sarah and the three ladies saw her but she motioned them to run while she runs to the opposite side.

she slowly bends her knees in defeat but then she heard a familiar voice.

"I hate you! I hate you! let me go!" Sarah! Her eyes widened in dread. No! she thought she escaped with the three sisters.

"Sarah!" She stood up bewildered.

"Diana!" she cried.

"Let her go and I will go with you." she eyed the gang's leader.

"And why should we listen to you?" he walks towards her and hit the woman's face. it was hard enough to make her land on the ground.

"Diana!" Sarah called out but she can't do anything at the moment.

Blood. she could taste her own blood. Dang it! she spits a few.

The leader of the gang is obviously mad since after he hit Diana, he tied her hands then dragged her away. Her foot still hurts but she's powerless against these men.

Those gangs are totally heartless for letting the foreigner woman walks by herself while they ride their horses. As for Sarah, they locked her up in an average wooden cell.

"Since you gave us a hard time these past few days, you should also feel the sufferings you caused us." the leader smirked evilly.

The sun was too hot and Diana was perspiring a lot. She's tired and thirsty and Sarah could see her wobbling. She's staggering in her footsteps.

Her foot isn't completely healed yet and what they were doing to her is a torture!

Her feet, she couldn't feel them any longer. She's exhausted totally. All her strength was drained.

Guess she won't die from these guy's swords but with this torture! She needs water…. Just a drip will do. she's losing herself… slowly… she could hear Sarah pleading with the men but they were mocking her instead.

Blaggg! She fell on her face.

Diana! worry enveloped the young lady's face. please don't die. She prayed.

She can't move her body any longer. She's… dying!

"Hey you! stop acting!" the leader kicked the woman on the side but she was unresponsive. "Hey!" he stooped down and picked the pale woman up. "Damn! Water!" the leader shouted.

Diana…! Sarah was praying when she saw the leader with a water jar in his hands and made the woman gulped an amount of water.

A few seconds later, she coughed the excess water on the ground. Somehow she's saved but it didn't change the fact that still, she's worn out.

"Now moved!" he lightly shoved the woman but she fell on the ground.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Diana suddenly heard a loud scream and a loud thud before her. she wanted to see what's happening but she couldn't lift her head.

Sarah was astounded when she saw that the leader fell down. He was hit with an arrow from who knows where it came from. she can see the four members looking everywhere. Who could possibly do this?

One of the men run towards Sarah but then an arrow hit his right foot. He tried standing but another arrow struck his leg. Sarah held her breath since one by one, the men were shot by an arrow coming from everywhere.

The leader crawled towards the weak woman and was about to grab her but a sword suddenly struck his hand. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!" he screams in severe pain.

He slowly looks up and was shocked to see a familiar figure. It was the woman's lover! He shivered in fear upon seeing the man's pitch black eyes. He is totally furious and is ready to kill anyone who stands on his way.

"Liam!" the other members caught up to him.

"Sarah! Are you alright?" as soon as Lemuel came to the scene, he directly went to where Sarah is and freed the young lady.

"L-lemuel!" she instantly hugs the man before her. He can feel her quivering body. She must have been terrified.

"Shhhh…. It's okay. you're safe now…." He comforted.

At that same moment, Liam stooped down and carried the woman in his arms. then an unexplainable anger coursed throughout his body when he saw the woman's frail condition. She had suffered a lot. Her beautiful and lively face before is unidentifiable. the bubbly and candid woman she once knew… it's nowhere to be found. His heart aches so much that he wanted to kill the men who hurt the woman badly.

His grip on her body tightened. He wanted to cry upon seeing the devastated state of the woman but he held it in.

Cole and the others couldn't bear the sight therefore they turn their backs on Liam carrying the lifeless woman. Leon shed a tear silently.

"TAKE THOSE MEN ALIVE!" the team could feel Liam's fury against the goons.

Diana wanted to open her eyes at the moment when she felt a hand carried her. The familiar body scent… she still recognized it though it was very faint. Liam? what is he doing in here? She thought before she completely loses her consciousness.
