Eryka held her dagger tightly, She opened the wooden door and Gerard a creak that Rang through her body, she suddenly felt cold but that added to her anger. The office was cold and dark inside, There were huge windows on both sides of the four cornered structure, but each of the pair was shut tight with thick curtains draped over them.
Inside was antique, it smelled of wood, luxurious oak wood, It was dark, really dark that she could barely see the furniture, just the outline of the furniture as they were laid out scattered in the room .
"I am here Finally, I am here Your Highness!". Eryka called out looking around. She saw no one from where age stood, bit she felt something dark crawling behind her.
Her dagger was pointed out, with her hands bent to a striking position, she was ready for anything. She stepped forward, using her left leg and then she heard a snarl behind and a hot presence behind that caused her to still immediately. She was unmoving, like a statue or waxed figure.
Her hands moved slowly, but her other body was stoic as she waited for the attack. "I see They Sent Another...." A Deep Gruff Voice said From Behind. It was a man's voice, It was cold and it left her with hairs standing on every angle.
"They did not Just send another!!, They sent Me!!", Eryka spun around and immediately delivered a strike by raising her hand up and slashing it, but the thing in front of her was fast as well, he dodged and her strike was instantly unsuccessful.
Erika's hand hung in the air and her eyes instantly opened so widely, She stood in shock at the beast in front of her, He was ginormous. He stood Five feet above her. He had Wolf fur, his was dark. Saliva cane out of his mouth, His eyes were bloody red and his breathing felt like A drum hitting in a not so far distance, His got breath even touched her skin.
Eryka tried to step away from the Beast further entering the darker parts of the office. The beast did not seem so pleased with her actions, she was upsetting him, he snarled at her and she stopped moving.
"But I guess None is smarter". He snarled more, Eryka was hyperventilating, She was so engulfed in fear that the Dagger was becoming unstable in her hand.
"I just need you to pay for your actions!!, you murderer!!". Eryka Screamed but that angered the beast, He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her off the Ground in a chokehold.
"Let me Go, Let me..mmm.j." Eryka begged and thrashed in the air for a way out of the choking position that was sucking all the air from her, The Beast Didn't seem like one to Release her anytime soon, his grip on her only tightened.
Eryka closed her eyes as she began seeing Black, She heard the beast say, "Maybe I should kill you like your parents then!!!".
Eryka Screamed loudly, as she tumbled to the ground, she was trembling and crying, So loudly that it drew the attention of whoever was outside, she heard someone rush into the office, While she tried to get herself out of the daze.
"Its the Savage Girl!", She heard one say as she opened her eyes, She felt a hand touch her flowed by a "Pick her up!", But she flinched away from the man's hand.
Erica picked herself up fro the ground, She quickly hid the Dagger in her sleeve, while she evaluated the men in the room.
"What are you doing here?", The red haired guard who Had spoken first earlier said to her..
"I came to see the king". Eryka informed.
"The King Isn't here, He returns tomorrow". The same guard informed her.
"You should leave". The other guard Saud.
Eryka faked a smile and walked away, She wasn't still okay as her body was still vibrating from the shock but she composed herself until she left the office.
Eryka was hyperventilating as she left the Room, She felt different like she had been attacked and she did not feel safe at all.
As she walked through the hallway, age looked for Gareth but she wasn't there anymore, she had probably gone in shame an anger, Eryka thought to herself, although the situation was not too far from how she was now.
She walked helplessly slow through the hallways, She wasn't sure of where she was going anymore and she blamed her impulsiveness. She shouldn't have gotten on Gareth's dark side on her first day.
"Heyy, I thought I would see you here". Deva said behind her suddenly. Erica jumped on her feet a bit, she was scared, but she didn't let the fear longer in her eyes for long as she turned around.
"Deva, I thought you went to help your parents?". Eryka asked, but the young girl shook her head.
"I did, but Sis Gareth asked that I help you". Deva said in response. Eryka frowned, she was probably so shaken up from Her words.
She didn't object even though Deva was loud and she didn't need that. She only smiled and allowed the girl take her to her new residence.
The room was a cottage style Room that had an in built bathroom and living area. It was cosy and way bigger than what Eryka was used to Sharing with her three friends.
"I will Take my leave now, you should rest, we have a long day tomorrow". Deva said to her. Eryka understood, she was going to implement her plan starting tomorrow, so she knew it was going to be a busy day instead.
Deva left after helping her Inn, and technically she only left after Erica lied that she wanted to rest. The room felt empty after she left, but Eryka could deal with it.
Eryka settled on the bed, She looked around one more time to confirm that no one was watching her before she Opened her hand and pulled out the dagger from under her sleeve. The dagger was bloody, extremely bloody something that terrified Eryka. She hadn't killed anyone so why was it so bloody, whose blood was it. She was scared to know.
Eryka Found the carriage to inspect her arm, She pulled up her sleeve slowly, With each pool she saw a Trail of blood still flowing, When she continued pulling she started seeing letters that began meaning something, something that Eryka understood to be a warning. After pulling her sleeve to the very top, she understood The message.
"Do not Stray away from your Goal Or Your Head would be on the Spike". ——It read in Gold and blood letters.
