Chapter 61: tik tik

"Ayeee…..I am so touched. Thanks, pretty lady, for having faith in me but don't you worry. I am a man with capabilities and will never allow a woman to get hurt even the tiniest bit in my fights. Women are meant to be loved and cherished. I don't want your soft little hands to be stained with blood. Okay? Oh yes, when we reach inside the castle you better listen to me okay?" Severus asked smilingly.

"Sure sure I will", Desella replied cheekily.

Severus took her to a lonely spot and instructed her to keep quiet. She followed his orders and didn't speak anything. while Severus on the other hand observed the secret tunnel.

He came close to her and whispered, "This tunnel is shadow point which will take us directly to the castle but i don't know the specific place it will lead us to, so we have to be careful and moreover this tunnel has a continuous patrol so we need to be in our toes. We can't afford to alert them otherwise we will, I mean I will be dead. You better stick close to me"

Desella nodded her head in response. Soon Severus clasped her hand tightly and started walking stealthily in the tunnel.

The tunnel curled away coldly into the infinite dark, the light that showed the rough walls dwindling as it snaked away. Desella skin shuddered and she could feel her brain starting to defocus, searching for a way out…" Severus we should go backwards.."

"Shhhhhhhh"

"What are you scared when I am here with you? As soon as he said that two bulky bodyguards clad in steel armour came.

Tik Tik Tik

There armour collided with narrow walls of the tunnel.

"I felt like I heard someone's voice. Did you?" One of them asked with curiosity.

"No, it's probably your imagination. No one even knows about this tunnel except few"

"Yeah it's true but what if any enemy is there? We can't take it lightly, Can we?"
