I could see the entrance to the throne room. I managed to avoid the men from both sides, but I still couldn't pass and continue. There were bodies everywhere, either knocked down or dead.
A mixture of gunpowder and blood lingered in the hallway. My heart was beating louder and faster than before, thinking about Jayden's safety.
My feet were numb and I am so exhausted from running and hiding. I leaned my back on the wall, breathing heavily. I could hear my own heart as it pounded like a drum.
I took the gun on my leg and checked the bullets. Only six left, I uttered. I couldn't explain how scared I am, but I have to be strong. I have to set aside my weakness for the sake of my family.
Before I continued to walk towards the entrance of the throne room, I touched my belly to feel the little one inside me.
"Hang in there. We can do this my love." I whispered.
