Chapter 13 - The Trap

"Are you surprised, seeing me here?" The man removed his mask, he looked like he was a middle-aged man, with a beard and short hair, and he was looking at both of us.

"Who is he? mother " I asked her,

"Norman, He is the person I was able to break through the prison he was confined in the other wing but broke through and came to our wing to take his comrade, confined next to me... he helped me too, in order to get out of there along with her... then the other one must be your comrade also, who were with you at that time right?" Her eyes were giving off strange tension and her grasp around me tightened up.

"You were a great you really knew the nook and cranny of that prison if you wouldn't offer your aid to us, we would've been caught again," Norman smirked at us,

"My-My you are just as sharp he told us about you" A playful girly voice spoke in amusement, by the person besides the Norman removed her mask, an adolescent girl with red hair and brown eyes looked at us, " Remember me it's me Kosa don't tell me you forget me you really helped me in the prison but I can't believe you still agreed to escape with us, with all those manners of you and treatment of those guards towards you seemed that you were there only for the hearing and you also were diligent there and but look, you are definitely a criminal now, aren't you afraid of being named as wanted criminal they will not leave a stone unturned to find you, you shouldn't have come along with us." She said in amusement..

"Shut you trap Kosa", a calm and collected warning from the man behind Norman, and Kosa, at last, removed his mask a sharp-looking man with black hair and piercing blue eyes appeared before us.

"RONALD!!" my mother uttered slowly and was sweating in anxiety, "Why are you with them aren't you loyal to Lord Nulim, he gave you the job of the prison guard, why are you with them? why are you here?"

"Calm down Cara and I am still loyal to Tresguys' and I am just following their order to kill you and your son," Ronald spoke diligently "Lord Dustin has asked me this personally so I can not let him down, so be a good girl and accept your fate, this is all happening because you enraged the Tresguys with your actions, If only you had done what Lord Husre asked you to do on that night, maybe you and your child had led a nice life by now with the compensation after that, but you chose your pride over your life, so don't blame me for all this, even though you were being a nuisance for them they were kind enough to only kick you out after Lord Nulim's death, but now there is no point of return."

"Aaris can you stand?" she said to me,

"Yes" I answered her with a shivering voice and she slowly put me down and stood in front of me and was looking at them fiercely.

"I am giving you one chance to turn back and flee from here, but if you still want to continue this.. I won't show you any mercy"

"Ha! mercy from you do you even know a single spell besides that stupid voodoo doll" Kosa yelled at her "Look at this how stupid one can be, she refused Lord to sleep with him even after knowing she could've demanded a fortune for it, and yet she..... oh my God what stupid woman, also we didn't needed your help to escape through the prison that handsome Lord already promised us that if we get you out of the prison along with us he would free us from all charges"

Kosa giggled,

"Didn't you understand we were the one who was arrested in the town with the documents and in reality not even arrested, we surrendered because Lord Dustin ordered us to, can't believe he went through such hassle just to kill this weakling bitch" Norman he was making fun of us,

"But why did he went to such lengths,

wait No it can't be, you traitors!!" My mother yelled in wrath,

"Exactly, he got rid of you in order to sell the information to Shaytins without any hindrance, because of your assistance to Lord Nulim their goal was quite formidable but after framing you and focusing the attention of the Ravens on you resulted in the huge success and you know they received a huge amount of gold Mura out of it and We also!" Ronald's expression looked pleased, " And then because of your escape you will be declared guilty, then after killing you the case will be closed, and then finally everything will be resolved for them, what Genius my Lord is!!"

"How could you do this to your motherland, don't you feel remorseful?

why are you doing this, you traitor!" She screamed at him with pitiful eyes,

"HA, HA HAHAHAHAHAHA!" all three of them started laughing,

"How naïve, Cara isn't this simple knowledge you should always stand behind the strongest in this world, and after breaking out of prison yourself you are calling us the traitors" Ronald was cracking up so loud that tears came out of his eyes.

"I don't regret it, and I am happy that I escaped from there and came back to my son when he needed me the most, just look at him, what they did to him, what was his fault? if I was a second late to return to my son I would've....been lost him forever so I don't regret and in the first place I didn't do anything wrong so, there still Time..... leave us alone or Die here!".

" What an example of mother I am really moved by your bond, so I will send your Son along with you to the afterlife"

With that Ronald unsheathed his long sword and pointed towards us...

"Say your prayers now!!"
