The very soft yet oddly disturbing sound of footsteps echoed in the hall, which stirred the depth of eeriness in one heart.
A momentary silence that persisted in the atmosphere was broken by a harsh voice.
"Leave!"
Frederick, snapping out of his thoughts, coughed violently, taking a mouthful of air, and then looking to the side, noticed Sir Harris standing with his arms folded behind his back.
Just a simple glimpse of him made every fiber of his body scream in danger. On turning back, he saw Rose's sickly pale expression, and following her line of sight, he found two headless corpses afar.
The two corpses were the ones whom Frederick turned a blind eye to, after catching a glimpse of Rose being strangled by an intruder.
Feeling the severity of the situation, Frederick jolted up on his feet and nudged Rose slightly, he ran towards the unconscious Parth.
Lifting him over his shoulder and pulling Rose, he ran away quickly.
