Chapter 203 [Bonus chapter] A secret Well Hidden In The Dark

Hazel slowly tried to sit again but it was painful after getting beaten so badly. She took a few deep breaths and then slowly moved to refill the bullets again.

She stood up taking the support of the wall she was leaning on earlier. Lucian was still fighting with those two men though it would be only a matter of time before he would be done with it.

She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on the voice. The voices are coming from the other side.

Taking slow steps towards the left, she walked from where the muffled voices were coming.

A man was guarding the door. His hands already had a sword while he was waiting for her. The fight from earlier must have alerted everyone as he did not waste a second before running towards her to stab her but before he could move, she shot a bullet that hit his hands and the sword flew into the air and fell near her feet.

“Where are the kids? Tell me or I will kill you.” the man glared at her with a vicious look in his eyes but only snorted and did not reply.

“Ten, nine, three, one. And zero!” She pulled the trigger to shoot him when his eyes widened at the skip of numbers. He did not have any trick to pick the swords since it was so close to her and there was no way he could escape bullets.

“In the basement. The kids are in the basement.” he shouted, afraid that she would shoot before she could hear him with a cold smirk on her face as she did not stop.

The bullet went straight through his chest and blood came out like a broken dam. The man fell on the ground with a thud while staring at her betrayal.

“Liar!” The only words came through his mouth when he continued to stare at her as if blaming her for her betrayal, but Hazel was already numb to it.

After getting beaten so badly and facing so many of them. She did not have any pity left for their kind.

“As if you would have let me live if I did not have a gun!” she snorted as she kicked his limp body away while walking forward.

Soon she heard footsteps behind her and her eyes sharpened. She turned while aiming at the head of the man that had come following her but her tensed body relaxed instantly when she noticed that it was Lucian.

“You should learn to wait for me!” the voice came out thrush gritting teeth and she knew that he was furious.

If they would not have been in the dangerous situation, he would have given her a long lecture that would have continued whole night.

“He said that the kids are in the basement but I can not see any door after walking so far.” she whispered, ignoring the annoyance of his eyes.

He stared hard at her and then kicked the barrels on the corner of the room to vent off his anger.

Did she have any idea that she would have died if he would have been a minute late? She was dangling in the air for Christ sake, and still she had the nerve to ask him where the kids were.

“To hell with the kids. They are not my family or someone I relate to. Why would I care about them? Lets go and get you treated!”” her face was in a mess. It was completely covered with blood and he knew that it was hers only.

She had been beaten and stabbed and yet she was looking for her kids. She had lost so much blood that her face was pale and she was wobbling yet she wanted to continue this kind of adventure.

He could go crazy if she would not listen to him. “My lady, if you would not listen to me now, i will force you to..” he kicked another lane of barrels as he knew that he could not force her since he was nothing but her slave.

He was bound to her biddings.

“Lucian. I know that.. Wait.. kick those barrels again.” her eyes widened when she noticed a secret door behind those barrels.

She had thought that they enjoyed drinking because there were so many barrels but who would have thought that it was only a way to cover the door.

“They must have set them in urgency when they saw a fight ensuing on the door.” or else there were better ways to hide the door. It would be troublesome to move so many barrels each time to go in or out of the basement.

He stared hard at her and then at the door and ran a hand in his hair with a wry smile on his face. In the end, he was nothing but a fool who was babbling nonsense.

She did not care what he felt or said. She was only thinking about those kids. He shook his head and used his fury in kicking the barrels again.

The barrels continue to fall and soon a door could be seen. He stared at how she was not even able to walk yet she was trying to pull the closed door with full force that made him think if he was a fool to follow her or she think she was a goddess that could not be hurt.

He wanted to turn and leave a fool like her but at the same time, he could not bear to see her in pain.

“Fool! Witless dumb!” He cursed himself to still follow her.

“Let me do it!” She raised her head and stared at him but in the end nodded his head and stepped aside when she felt the pain in her body increasing.

She leaned on the wall and tried to take deep breaths when she felt a strange feeling in her chest. A strange light was engulfing her. Was she going to die here?
