Kieran stood up fixing his posture, his face blank; glancing at the lifeless body of the girl lying in front of him.
"-that's refreshing!" he said smiling widely his eyes shining with a blue color then turned back grey. He went to the window and opened it wide open till the glass got broken from the huge crash with the wall.
He looked down at his hand to find the scratch from Rosaline's nails digging in hope to escape, he looked back at her and smiled then ruffled his hair and start crying:"-MALIN!!!!" he yelled his lungs out.
Mal was out feeding the horses, when she step in she heard a big crack then Kier shouting. She ran upstairs skipping two each time; she barged in the room to find Kieran on his knees blocking his sobs looking at the bed.
When she lifted her eyes to find the dead body of the girl, she gasped at the sight and ran toward Rosaline's lifeless body; unable to touch it.
Tears streaming down her cheeks, she looked at the miserable state of the boy next to her.
"-What happened? whEN AND HOW??" her voice get louder at the end glaring at him but he was busy crying like a baby who lost his mom.
"- I asked you Kieran. ANSWER ME!" the boy flinched at her sudden yell and said with a cracking voice:
"-I d-don't know…I was going to have a glass of water before bed but ….when I was about to take the stairs I heard a loud crash…s-so I ran back to the room to find her dead and the glass broken."
Mal lifted her gaze to the open window and rushed to see outside, but, nothing suspicious. The vicious green carpet is calm and a wave of quietness filled the whole area, making her able to hear the hissing of the snakes and the sobs of the prince.
She turned to him and said:
"-no way an incubus could get here, the windows are protected with salt. I can't believe…I left her to die as I left Ray and Ellie." She burst crying hysterically pulling her hair out with frustration.
Kieran ran up to her and hold her shoulders, trying to calm her down, telling her and it's not her fault and she did her best. He felt happy when she stopped crying but it was too soon to celebrate.
Mal looked p at him under her thick wet lashes, her emerald big eyes was red shot and filled with hatred, if looks could kill; her dark gaze would shot him dead. The prince was about to back off but she pulled him and corned him on the wall with her dagger on his neck.
Kieran was shocked yet charmed by her action, but he kept the broken expression with a bit of surprise.
"-don't you dare touch me or put your filthy hand on Me." she hissed at him and added threatening:
"-if you put your dirty hand on me I will end you! You are a murderer. How could you kill Rosaline, and then play the victim as nothing happened!"
Kieran had an empty look on his eyes, making him more wretched and mournful. He took his hand and placed it on hers, then pushing it against his skin making it bleed from the deep cut. Marlin was shocked, she tried to pull her hand but he pushed it more, her eyes wide open because of his sudden action.
"- you are right…I deserve death…I-I shouldn't left her side and leave." And a hot tear dropped down his tear making Mal regret accusing him; her eyes became watery and glassy from the forming tear.
"-please…please Malin…please end my miserable life…I beg you…please kill me…I am the worst person on her ….I let her to die alone." He then glanced at the laying corpse but quickly turning his gaze down, and his grip lightened so Mal took her hand back.
The broken prince balanced himself on the mirror table he then looked at his reflection and crashed the glass with his feast.
Malin pulled him to her and hugged him caressing his cheek softly but he was crying and yelling till he stopped his tantrum.
Mal looked at him to find his eyes lost and, his neck and arm pleading nonstop and a stream of hot tears cooling down his red cheeks. She hold him tight into her embarrass putting his head to make him calm down, worried at his state after the mental break down he had.
However, the prince was smirking, satisfied with his accomplishment…
