SCARS - CHAPTER 43&44
(FIRE OUTBREAK)
“Arghhhhhhh ” Charlotte wailed painfully as blood pumped out
Alessia had a straight face and was determined to win the battle no matter what.
Every one began running helter skelter for their lives except Corbin,Pandora and Ampah.
Adora grabbed her wedding gown and ran away to hid for her life.
“Soldiers deal with her!!!” Queen Lazebel ordered with her fist folded angrily.
The soldiers surrounded her ready to fight. Alessia mouth formed an “O” shape.
“Lazebel so you really wanna do this uhh?” Alessia asked bringing out a long thick rope with thorns at the tip.
“You should never dare to touch the lion’s tail cos your flesh would become meat to it” Queen Lazebel replied with a dark grin.
“Alright let’s do this” She mumbled giving more focus to the hundreds of soldiers in front of her.
Four soldiers approached her and she flung the rope round their necks with the thorns piercing deeply into their flesh pulling out their oesophagus,the four dropped dead instantly.
Six soldiers ran towards her,she formed a red magical ball and threw it at them and they turned to vultures and flew away.
Twelve ran towards her with great rage,she flew into the air and kicked their chest,they coughed out blood and died instantly.
The fight went on for minutes till she ki||ed the last one.
Two hundred soldiers laid dead on the floor. Alessia’s face was filled with blood as she breathed heavily.
Lazebel was still seated on her throne as she watched Alessia with smiles plastered on her face.
Queen Lazebel ordered more soldiers and they approached Alessia. In a minute they were all down and Queen Lazebel flinched.
“When had she learnt to fight so powerful?” Queen Lazebel thought to herself.
She ordered about five hundred soldiers which surrounded Alessia.
Queen Lazebel was lost in thoughts when an arrow almost hit her arm but she missed it. She looked up and saw Pandora coming towards her with a mischievous grin.
“Long time dear friend, surprised to see me aren’t you?” Pandora grinned approaching Queen Lazebel with a bow and an arrow.
“I’m not surprised cause I know you’d come back one day but why today?” Queen Lazebel asked bringing out a sword.
“Cos today is your special day” Pandora smiled when she saw the sword,she replaced her bow and arrow with a sword. It shined silver as she pointed it towards Queen Lazebel.
“Let’s do this” Queen Lazebel charged after her and their swords clashed together.
Corbin smiled as he watched them.
“Soon I’m gonna be rulling two kingdoms, isn’t it cool?” He laughed mockingly.
“No you won’t be the ruler of two kingdoms” Ampah shunned him.
“Oh the prince,you wanna challenge me” He bursted into another round of laughter and Ampah shut him up with a slap.
Corbin went numb for some minutes trying to accelerate what happened.
“If you don’t shut your big mouth up, I’ll let your head roll on the floor!” Ampah glared, again Corbin began laughing.
Ampah got pieced off and drew out his sword, Corbin didn’t hesitate to bring his out.
“I’ll show you why I’m called Prince Ampah” He said and charged speedily towards Corbin.
*****
Pandora and Queen Lazebel were still engrossed in their fight pondering non stop at each other.
Alessia was done with the third badge of soldiers and was surprised when she saw Queen Lazebel busy with a lady.
“Who’s that lady by the way?” Alessia smirked before running inside the palace.
The slaves had already left the palace so only the royal families and few soldiers were left in the palace.
Alessia started by lightning up flames in the entire palace, same thing Queen Lazebel did to her (Alessia) Kingdom, SHUNGA DYNASTY.
In few minutes the palace was already in flames.
*****
Charlotte’s Chamber
Adora had just finish treating Charlotte’s wound. Charlotte’s arms was bandaged and was already swollen.
“Thank you so much Adora” Charlotte said.
Adora had already changed from her wedding gown to a flowing robe and packed her hair in bun.
“I’m going to ki|| that Alessia of girl,she just destroyed my wedding, I’ll ki|| her!!” Adora fumed pacing around the room.
“I’m with you , we’re gonna do it together” Charlotte assured her with a smile.
“Thanks so much bestie” They hugged each other.
“What’s that smell?” Adora sniffed the air.
Charlotte started coughing.
Adora sighted smoke coming from the door region,her eyes widened in fear.
“Charlotte fire! The palace is on fire!!” Adora screamed in a confused state.
“Let’s leave here,the fire is spreading widely” Charlotte clutched tightly to Adora’s arm.
They went over to the window but it was too high. They were in the third floor.
“Gosh!! This place is high,what are we gonna do now” Charlotte lamented.
The fire had entered the room,they had no time to waste.
Adora got a strong rope and tied one end of the rope to the bed stand and threw the other end outside the window.
“Charlotte I’m gonna go first then you come after me, please be careful so you won’t hurt yourself” Adora said.
“Yes I will” Charlotte replied fidgeting. She watched Adora go down with the rope. Beads of sweat gathered on her forehead as she held the rope.
“I can’t do this” She muttered fearfully staring at the high level.
Adora was down already but Charlotte wasn’t coming down.
“Charlotte use the rope!!” Adora voice echoed.
“I’m scared!!” Charlotte replied as tears dripped form her eyes. Her heart beat had increased rapidly.
“Charlotte you can just come down , there’s no time!!” Adora warned.
Charlotte grabbed the rope and she felt a hot pain on her back. It pierced deeply into her skin like that of a scorpion sting.
“Arghhhhhhh fire!!!” She screamed as the fire covered her clothes.
“No!!! Charlotte!!” Adora wailed as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.
Charlotte fell from the window in a slow mo. The fire had already covered her body, her hair flowing on the air as the wind blew it and slowly….slowly… She landed in front of Adora with a loud splash.
Adora was looking red as Charlotte’s blood splashed on her. Her head bursted open and her brain came in view.
Her ankles,knees and neck were twisted and broken. Four of her upper tooth were missing,her mouth was opened in horror and her eyes stared blankly in horror.
Adora knelt by her side and cried out loudly.
“Charlotte why! Why now!!” She scattered her hair as she screamed loudly.
Charlotte’s blood flowed freely on the ground giving the ground a thick red color.
“Alessia I’m coming for you!!” Adora muttered biting her lower lips furiously.
