Chapter 167: Special Bullets
Madeline quietly remained where she stood as Cassian had requested of her. She closed her eyes and continued with her breathing meditation in an attempt to calm her racing heart. For the first time, Madeline found it difficult to sit in one place when she knew Cassian and everyone else were out there facing Elijah.
She felt useless, she wanted to help in some way without disrupting whatever plan Cas and the rest had made in order to stop Elijah, but what can she do?? How can she help??
Controlling her emotions, she slowly rose to her feet. Madeline had no idea how she would be of help to Cas, but one thing is for sure and that is the fact that she can’t stay here.
"Milady." One of the guards who had spotted her leaving, called for her attention, and Madeline stopped in her tracks to look at the guard who approached her with a bow of his head.
"Lord Cassian has given the orders to keep you protected until he returns." Said the guard, but Madeline shook her head in refusal, finding the guard’s comment outrageous.
"No, I need to leave this place, I can’t stay here, instead of protecting me, protect him, there’s someone in the palace building and he’s here to shed blood, you need to go, inform his Highness and tell him what is going on, we need to do something to keep the guests safe... we need....
*STAB!*
A shocking gasp tore from Madeline’s lips when the blade of a sword suddenly protruded the guard’s stomach, and her eyes momentarily widened with alarm, seeing the edges of the blade coated with blood, her body automatically freezed, and her blood went dry.
Madeline’s mouth was opened as she met the startled look on the guard’s face. She wanted to scream, but her voice had hooked to her throat. She watched the life fade from his eyes, and another gasp left her lips when the sword was brutally pulled out, and immediately the guard dropped to his feet, Madeline locked gaze with a pair of sickening blackish eyes.
