Chapter seven
Dorian sat patiently on the ground, outside Sarah Burke's backyard.
Tonight...
he thought.
Tonight I'll kill, I'll do what I was supposed to have done from the very beginning. I'll erase the source of all my misery.
He sighed
But right now I have to wait, wait patiently until the right time for me to strike, till then, I will wait!! It's all because of her, i was forced to become what I am now.
He would make sure he rewards her for in full for all she did to him, and for him!!
Dion and Emilia snuck in, taking out some guards and quietly laying them down in a dark corner, they manuevered their way into the large house, carefully moving in the dark, towards the main parlor and then to the basement.
They halted in their tracks when two guards almost spotted them if not for the darkness that swallowed their shadows. Some after they made their way down the basement stairs, past a hall of rooms and then arrived at the basement. They had to head back to grab a lantern to see in the dark and cold basement, they proceeded with caution thereafter.
Emilia couldn't help but wonder where Sarah Burke was right now;
Well, there was no need to wonder, as they opened the door and stepped in, surely they weren't expecting to catch her in the act of vigorously torturing a man whose identity was unknown.
She spun around quickly, surprised. Clearly she hadn't been expecting any visitors...
She was holding something that looked very much like a broken golden ring covered in blood. Obviously, her torture weapon. She was wearing a white gown, splatters of blood adding a certain chill to the scene. She was still too surprised and shocked to do anything when Dion spoke:
Lady Sarah Burke, by power invested in me by the authority of king Simon II, you will now be arrested, then trialed and sentenced for the murder of your husband, his elder and younger brother, and your son. You have been caught in the act of torture and surely you will be accounted for all your crimes.
He walked towards her, carefully balancing his sword in case she tried anything funny.
Don't you dare touch me,
She said fiercely. A senile smile curving on her lips, angling her shoulders up and looked straight at Dion, a hint of a mocking smile on her face. He didn't Know whether she was deranged or had finally gone mad!
Sarah Burke??
Oh, you mean me?
She burst out laughing.
Dion was still trying to understand the cause of her laughter when something hard hit him from behind; he fell face down to the floor.
Her accomplise!,
he thought as his eyes searched his soroundings for Emilia whereabouts before his eyes closed. He caught a glimpse of black Raven hair below him before he finally drifted unconscious.
Emily?!
Minutes later he woke up with a nagging headache, his hands and legs were tied to a chair, so was Emilia who was seated beside him. He slowly forced his eyes open despite their unwillingness to comply, he had to make sure Emilia was not harmed in any way.
I shouldn't have brought her here in the first place, he thought.
Sarah Burke: Did you make sure you tied them both properly?
Someone: Yes, I did. So what do we do with them now?
Sarah: (scoffs) what else, we kill them of course.
Someone: But the woman is the Earl's daughter, and I found out later that the other is the son of Adrian Brisbane, Duke of Suffolk. I don't think their death's would go unnoticed.
Sarah grumbled in frustration before walking to Dion.
Sarah:( lifts Dion's face with the tip of her fingers) I have no other choice than to kill them both. You Know that right? So just get on with it and kill them.
Someone: Alright then, if that's what you want.
Sarah's accomplise approached Emilia first, meanwhile from behind Sarah grabbed the metal rod used on Dion and Emilia and hit it hard on her accomplise's head. He went down hard as he lost consciousness accompanied by a sharp pain and probably blood oozing out .
Not long after he awoke tied to a chair beside Dion with Sarah standing right in front of him with his murder weapon in her hands, the same one he used to kill Justin, Maxwell Burke ( Justin's son), Alexander and John Burke (Justin's siblings). Was he going to get killed with his own weapon ( a long Sharp knife)?!!
You betrayed me?!, he asked in disbelief. Sarah smiled evily.
Yes Dorian.
Dorian!!!!?
