_Take Them Down

Kaene

~~

"Maybe my story will be a lesson to other nobles who might harbor the same darkness in them." My mother had said right before we left for the wedding.

Well, now no one will know her story because they were all dropping like flies.

It had all happened so fast.

First, the arrow that struck my mother's chest after Phoebe and I shared our vows and then the pandemonium that followed as the attacks started raining on the wolves in the event Hall.

I rushed to her, catching her before she could fall to the ground, watching life slowly slip away from her.

"K– Kaene..." My mother gasped, her eyes dimming as she stared at me.

I hugged her body close, my eyebrows creasing.

The arrow stuck to her chest had a silver blade.

Hunters...

Her gown was getting soaked by her blood but I tried to slow down the bleeding by placing my hand on the wound and applying pressure.
