I followed Flori where she would show me the corpses location... It was just as the rest of the room, moisty and full with wreckage.. The bodies were burried farther away from Ruit's and their bones were barely shown, I dug to excavate them. As quick as the full bodies were revealed, I focused on the woman's body.. She had fragile bones, broken ribs and little bones in her tummy... They must be the baby's... She was holding her belly when she died, but after her body decomposed, her naked hand fell onto the baby's bones, as if she finally carried her unborn child, to be reunited in heaven..
I held her hand tight as I remembered my dead mother and cried for a second.. When I was distracted I noticed that the moonlight reflected a shadow holding a long object behind me, I turned away to see that Flori is holding an axe to hit me with..
The axe flew towards me suddenly, my body moved quicker than cheetah's to dodge her attack...
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh" I screamed "Flori! What are you doing??!"
"Oh dear," she grinned as she hit me with her heavy axe again "Don't take it personally.."
I crawled fastly into the other side..
"Flori! Stop it.. Please!!" I shouted "Don't stain your hands anymore!!"
"Do you really ecpect to get out of here alive?" she replied "I'm really surprised!"
"Please don't.. I don't wanna die now... I just want to see him.. Once again.."
She rised her golden weapon into the space to attack me again.. It shined under the silver moonlight.. She was just as the goblin with golden sword.. Maybe.. Just maybe.. Thats the view that Ruit saw before she rested forever...
Jon.. I'm sorry..
I don't know how long I can dodge them..
"Someone... Please.. Help me!!" I took a deep breathe and raised my voice to ask for help for several times
"Don't stress yourself self, honey" Flori said "No one is going to hear you.. So sorry for you"
I can't breath anymore... Ha.. Ha.. I guess it might be my end.. Jonathan.. I love you
"Flori.. Please don't.. Ha.. Ha" I whispered "Surrender yourself.. Ha.."
She didn't mind my words but kept her attacks continously.. She hit, hit and hit unstoppably.. She only focused on killing me....
"The superstitious events.." I whispered
"What did you just say?" she asked
"... Weren't ghosts' actions.. The moanings were yours, probably because you killed your own niece.. Ha.. Ha... The will 'o whisp was a tobacco light.. Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. The stinky smell was the corpses'.. And the continuous words and whispers were yours and the other servants' threats for anyone who approaches the room.."
"What are you trying to do? You're going to die.. Are you trying to be cool before you die? Are you trying to perform detective Konan?"
"I'm going to die!! But you're going to rot in jail! I promise you Flori"
I continue crawling and creeping to reach the exit door... I struggled alot just to see the light emitted from the door crevice.. It was so bright.. As if i was in a jail for a hundred years and now I found my freedom..
I approached the door to push it when it was pulled robustly out of blue..
Wha.. What is this?!
I caught the sight of the same black silhouette at that night.. Its the same.. The one who watched me from the window...
I saw his face details as the moon emerged from between the smoky clouds... It was the gardener.. He was holding a long shovel..
What will he do with this?? Will he bury me with the others?
I felt my soul oozing out of my throat.. I choked as I thought of the end I might face.. My legs were shaking and shivering that I couldn't stand up on my own.. And my body refused to react with me..
His sight frightened me.. Ever since I stepped into this castle he's been frightening me... He meant harm to me from the very beginning..
The gardener plugged my only exit, Flori sealed my other way and the wall and columns ceased me from the back.... I was cornered with no method to escape....
Cobre swang the shovel into the thin air.. It swooshed towards me mightily and fiercely... His eyes didn't flicker as he hit me body with his whole force..
"Aaaaahhhhhh!!" I outcried of the pain I sensed "Ah.. Ahhh.. Ahh"
His attack striked my leg to break it harshly.. I heard my bones cracking and fissuring as I felt a warm liquid on the injury, so I touched to check and found a dark crimson runny.. It must be my blood..
Cobre didn't flicker to continue his attacks until he kills me and I had no more solidity to bear or resist any more, so I closed my eyes tightly, held my dripping wound and prayed my last prayers...
Whoosh.. Strike!!
I heard the shovel flickering in the wind and hitting fiercefully.. I didn't feel hurt.. I didn't feel pain.. But moreover I wasn't even hit.. It was.. JONATHAN!!
"Jonathan!! Ha.. Ha.." I mumbled "Wh.. Why.. Are you.. Ha.. Here?! You're bleeding! Why did you come for me?? Why?"
"Calm down" he replied "I'm here for you.. Calm down"
Jonathan leaned my head towards his chest and patted my hair.. His hand was shaking, maybe because of that strike on his back...
"Oh welcome.. Prince" barked Flori "You just came on the beginning of the party!!"
"Can you walk Lili?" he whispered "Its our party!"
"Jon.. What do you mean?!" I replied
Jonathan didn't answer but carried me on his arms and barged into the door.. He was strong that the gardener fell on his back.. And ran furiously to the mansion's gate, the heaven exit..
