Recalling what had happened last night,Eleanor ran to the door,banging on it.
"Hello....hello...anybody there?can you hear me?Dimitrix,are you there?Are you alright?".She kept calling but no one answered.
Breaking into a sob,she fell on the ground,hugging her knees as tears stream down her face.
'How did she end up this way?Was it a crime to read a book just for entertainment?Why?why did she have to end up in this tight situation?'.She sniffles a little.
'No she had to escape here.
She had to think like the real Eleanor if she was in this situation.
'Think....think...think'.
An idea suddenly popped into her head as a sly smile appeared on her lips.
She took off her hairpin letting her blue hair to fall over her shoulder.
And she uses it to try and unlock the door.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!".A guard growls.
Eleanor took a step back as he opens the door and glared at her.
"What do you think you're doing,Lady????".He questioned with a guttural tone that frightened her.
"Yea".He laughed."You should fear me.Now lower your gaze or I will strike you to dead with this stick".He threatens."Behave darling,our King has given me permission to do what I please to you.Ow,your hair is blue".
Amazement flashes in his brown eyes which was quickly replaced with Lust."So I heard that girls from Esmeralda are the prettiest".He licked his dry lips wet as he took baby steps towards her."Especially when it comes to bedding".His eyes flicked up and down checking her out.
"D...Don't y..y...yo..you d..d..dare c..come...come a..any closer".She spoke in a cracking voice.
"D..Dimitrix won't spare you.You animal!!!".
Laughter filled the cell as the guard clench to his stomach trying to control his laughter. "Dimitrix?".He scoffed."King Luther will have him killed before the sunrise on the morrow".
Eleanor shook her head
vigorously,convincing it was not true.
"Believe it or not,No one will come to your aid".He let out a malicious laughter and ran to her before he could dare to touch her,she had stabbed his left eyes with her hairpin causing him to let out a scream of agony as blood stream out from his eye.
Not giving him a chance to retaliate,she kicked him at his groin.
A loud shrill scream echo through the cell as he fell on his knees,holding his groin in pain.
"Sorry".She whispered and rushed to the door but a hand wrapped around her ankle bringing her to the ground.
The guard snickers dryly.
"Got you!".He dragged her as she desperately clench her hand to the edge of the wall refusing to let go as she uses her free leg to kick him but just like her,he was reluctant to let go and was eager to have her.
The guard smiles as he climbed over her body.
Letting go of the door,her hand grabbed the stick and she strike him with it and he let go,crying in pain.
Not giving him any chance,she stood up and hits him nonstop as his blood spill over her body,not caring where she hits him.
She finally stopped hitting him only to realize that he was dead.
Her hands flew to her mouth as muffling cry escape from her mouth.
"I...I..I just killed someone,I just killed someone".The stick slip away from her hand as she took few steps back looking shockingly at what she had done.
Hearing foot steps,she quickly composed herself and made a ran for it.
Vanessa appeared at the scene staring at the dead body before her.
She smirks."I did underestimate you,dear prisoner.If you love playing hide and seek then am in".She swing her blades in the air and chased after Eleanor.
Sadness clouded Dimitrix eyes as he thought of Eleanor.
Even when he didn't spend enough time with her,he missed her,her smiles,her laughter,her melodious voice, those eyes,he missed every thing about her.
He was submerge with guilt and sorrow.
'Maybe it was his fault,if he hadn't dragged her along with him then maybe.....maybe she wouldn't have died'.
If she turned to ghost,he wish for her to hunt him but first he needed to get out of here and seek revenge.
"AGHHH!!!!".He roared as he violently pulled the chains off the wall it was attached to.
He reached for the chains bounded on his ankle and broke it with his bare hands.
He moved closer to the steel bar..to only overhear the guard talking.
Laughter filled the air briefly,before the first guard continues."If you could see the Emperor Dimitrix face when he thought King Luther threw her off the window,I nearly burst into laughter. I can't believe the so called Mighty Lord is devastated when he thought he lost his maid".
The other chim in."And I too can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out his dear maid isn't dead".
"By then he would be executed".And they laughed.
Dimitrix fist clenched tightly to the steel bar,gritting his teeth in rage.
'What do they think of him?A fool?He will show that King who will laugh last".He nods in agreement. "Guards"He calls out."I need water".
The first guard came forward and absentmindly replies."I will get you a glass".
Half way to where he previously sat,he turns."H...How did you get free...ah!".The guard chokes as the chain tangled around his neck drawing him to the steel bar as Dimitrix reached into his pocket and brought out the key,unlock the bar and slam the door at the guard.
"Jack what is wrong?".The second guard came forward to only find Dimitrix outside his cell with jack lying helpless on the ground."What did you do my friend!Die!!!!".He drew out his sword and lurch at Dimitrix.
Dimitrix swung the chain round the guard coiling round his body,bringing him down to his knees.
"Where is Eleanor??".He questioned as he caught his fragile neck in his hand and smash his head against the wall."Speak or I will burst your brain!".
"I swear to God I don't know who you're talking about-".
"My maid,who you all claim is alive. Where the hell is she!!".His eyes darken with fury.
"In the dungeon above".He answered.
Dimitrix shove him forward and spoke with a hoarsely tone that made the guard shriek in fear."Move.First tell me where the hell you kept my weapon-".
"H...here,here".He pointed at a corner where his sword was kept.
Dimitrix reached for it and brought it to the guard's neck,saying."Lead the way or I will slit your neck off".
The guard gulps."This way".
Meanwhile,Eleanor had managed to sneak outside of the castle,on her way to get help for Dimitrix.
Thinking she was finally free,she smile but not less than a second her face fell into a grim while glaring at Vanessa.
"Do you really think you can escape? Ow,so you're from the Kingdom of Esmeralda,huh?it will be a pleasure to end you".Vanessa launched at Eleanor with her blades but Eleanor manage to dodge every of her attacks and wanted to run the opposite direction but Vanessa yanked her by the hair that made her gasp in pain,pulling her back.
"Bastard!!".Vanessa scowl as she threw her fist at Eleanor,that made warm blood spill from her mouth."I think it's time,I got rid of you".
Eleanor took a handful of dirt and threw it at her eyes.
"Ah,My eyes!".She clamor as she took a step back away from Eleanor.
Taking the chance,Eleanor reach into her boot and brought out the dagger and stabbed her at her kneecap.
Eleanor kicked the same knee she wounded and ran off.
Vanessa growl in pain as she pulled out the dagger and targeted it at Eleanor's back ankle.
Meters away from Vanessa,Eleanor was glad to have escaped,immediately it was replaced by pain as something sharp pierce in her ankle behind and she fell over her face.
No matter how she struggle to stand,she just couldn't.
She then heard Vanessa's malicious laughter and her steps came to halt before her."What do you take me for,Esmeralda??".And she step on her back as Eleanor grits her teeth in pain.
"Answer Me!!!!".She asked spitefully and kicked Eleanor against her stomach that made her mouth fill with blood."ANSWER ME!!!".She gave her another kick and sent her flying away.
With gritting teeth,Eleanor tries to stand at the same time forcefully stopping herself from crying.
Padding her feet,Vanessa came to stand before her grinning,she lower herself to Eleanor's level and yanked her hair,forcing her to look up at her.
"I did underestimate you,dear girl".She held her chin before piercing her sharp nail causing Eleanor to gasp in pain."Don't you dare do that to me!".She roared as Eleanor receive a hard blow against her face."Get me!!!".She scowl but Eleanor refuses to answer earning another hard blow."Answer me!!".
"Y...yes...yes".She forcefully pushed the word out of her swollen lips.
Vanessa lips curve into a devilish smile."Good,answer me when I spoke,get it-".
"Stop bullying her,darling".Luther said with a heartful smile."Knock her to sleep,let's drown her for real this time".His laughter filled the air as Vanessa joins.
Eleanor shook her head as she tries to stand on her feet once she got up,she made a run for it by leaping with a leg but didn't go that far when her eyes started to close and she found herself drifting into sleep by the doing of black magic.
