Chapter 138
138 Henry woke up to somebody screaming nearby. He sat up quickly and immediately regretted it and his head was heavy and the pain in his side. "Fuck..." He groaned, grabbing his side. Everything hurt. His head, legs, chest... it was all painful. For a few seconds, he forgot where he was completely. Then the memories came rushing back all at once. He remembered the attack of the king, bringing down the monsters, and the fighting. Adrian and Macy! Henry looked around. He was lying beneath a torn blanket beside the wall of an abandoned shop. Several other people slept nearby on the cold floor looking dirty and exhausted. A little boy had been beside him earlier, but the boy was no where to be found now. Henry frowned. "Kid? Where are you?" No response. He stood up slowly, wincing from the pain. His royal clothes were filthy now and covered in blood. His, and that of some creatures he had injured. From what he could see of outside, the city looked horrible.
Chapter 137
137. ‘Life comes at you fast, and sometimes, you have to chase it.’ That was one of Adrian’s favourite quotes from his favourite writer, Diana Thompson . As Selena had taken off, Diana’s quote was all he could think of. "Adrian, we have to leave this place now!" Macy's voice barely reached Adrian through all the noise. Adrian looked at his empty hand again. "Adrian!" Henry shouted while swinging the broken wood at a creature crawling toward him. "Why are you just standing there?" Adrian looked back at where Selene had run into the crowd, and then back at them. "I'll be back." Macy stared at him like he had lost his mind. "You'll what?" "It’s something important, I have to go!” “Leave the pickpocket alone, we have to get to safety!” Adrian had already started running. Henry looked at Macy. "So… should we stop him?" Macy watched Adrian disappear into the streets then she groaned loudly. "No, we won’t even be able to catch him!"- Adrian ran as fast as

136. There was a loud thunderclap from the sky, causing Henry to jump. Macy burst into laughter instantly. “You like a child." Henry glared at her. Another thunderclap came from the sky again, and the clouds seemed to get darker. Adrian looked up and Henry awkwardly cleared his throat. "Okay, maybe it's just rain clouds." He muttered nervously. "Storms happen. I know that weather exists." Something wet suddenly landed directly on his shoulder. Henry froze. Very slowly, he looked down. A giant black insect the size of a hand was on his shoulder. Its legs twitched. Immediately, Henry let out a scream loud enough to wake the dead. "NOOOO!” Macy laughed so hard that she fell to the ground. "Oh my goodness!” Henry started slapping himself violently. "IT HAS TOO MANY LEGS! HELP!” The insect crawled towards his neck and Henry made another horrifying sound. Macy finally flicked the creature off him. It landed on the wall, crushing on impact. Macy shuddered with d

135. Lady G’s face had completely lost colour. She pointed at Macy with a shaking hand. “No. This cannot be happening!” She whispered. Macy waved at her. “Hello to you too." "THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Lady G screamed. "I KILLED YOU! I SAW YOUR BODY DROP! I KNOW WHERE YOUR HEART IS!” Henry looked between both women. “This would make a really good story." “Who are you? How are you alive?” Lady G asked in fear. Macy smirked proudly. "Skill issue. As you can see, I am not dead.” Lady G looked genuinely horrified now. “No, I know what I’m saying! I blasted through your chest myself..." She looked up at Adrian. “You have to believe me!” Adrian folded his arms. “You did." Lady G glared at him. “If that’s true then how is she alive?” Adrian finally smiled genuinely for the first time that night.- - - Earlier before the ballroom battle. Adrian stood in one of the palace corridors with two Macys standing in front of him. Henry stared at both women with comple

134. Lady G sighed contentedly as she looked down at Macy’s dead body. “Little brats should stay in their own lanes.” She left her lying there and walked out. Her target was still moving. That was the problem. Most of the people in the ballroom had gone or were consumed, but the creatures still had a few left. Henry slammed his spear through another creature and yelled at a group of nobles. "STOP FREEZING AND RUN!" One of them pointed behind him with shaking hands. "My prince!" Henry turned just in time to duck as a shadow creature leapt at his face. The thing crashed over him instead and both rolled violently across the floor. "GET THE FUCK OFF ME, YOU DISGUSTING CREATURE!" Adrian sliced the creature apart before it could bite Henry's throat. "You know, one day I'm going to let you die out of spite." "No you won't." Henry responded. Just then, there was another explosion shook the ballroom. Adrian immediately looked towards the throne wing. The runes were
Chapter 133
133. "Sir Adrian Bloodson and friends, you must come with us." Henry immediately frowned at the zombie-acting guards. "Friends?" Henry said. "That sounds disgusting." Macy folded her arms. "I'm not going anywhere with creepy dead-eyed weirdos." The guards did not react to her. “You must come with us.” “Why?” Adrian asked. “You have been requested." "By who?" Henry asked. Before the guard could answer, another voice cut in. "Oh, leave them alone already." Adrian turned around to see Lady G walking towards them with a stern look on her face directed at the guards. How did she enter without them noticing? Adruan thought. He looked around, but she had not set anything off. Lady G wore a long dark dress covered in silver designs that shimmered beneath the ballroom lights. Her black gloves reached past her elbows and a small smile rested on her lips. She looked elegant and terrifying, in the way that a snake did. Beautiful till attack. The guards immediatel
