I just realised I'm a psychic, I wrote that chapter about Isandra's ass making headlines so long ago and bamn Kim's ass made her famous (more or so). HAHAHA Should I sue for copyright/patents? #jks

sorry about the late update I was too busy dying from a cold but then Satan didn't want me in hell either so I'm back

* * * 

I sat up straighter after a while feeling a strange knick in my shoulder, maybe lying like this wasn't the smartest thing. I looked over my shoulder at the rope around my wrists, they were getting painful and annoying, and it didn't seem like anyone was coming back anytime soon so I did the trick I still remembered being taught. 

Easily removing the ropes and throwing it a few feet away from me. My wrists ached, the joints in my shoulder protesting as I moved my hands back to where they should be and massaging them. The gash's were deep, and I could almost see blood and the wetness from the rain only made them worse. 

It felt like every rain drop was more or so some acid burning at my wounds. I needed some bandages pronto. It seemed the rain wasn't getting any softer anytime soon and I pulled my legs closer towards my chest staring at the gravestone in front of me. 

Who the hell is Hilketa Xenos?

I don't even remember hearing her name, but something was familiar about the engravings on the stone. It looked like another language, and it wasn't Latin. Because I knew Latin. I leaned in closer inspecting the grave, running a finger over the smooth marble. At least it was expensive material, I bet someone under there was very comfortable.

I was just about to lean against it to at least take a nap to make time go by faster when I heard something.

My head turned over towards the hedges, as it started to move again and I narrowed my eyes trying to make out who the dark silhouette was as it stepped into view.

I sighed, and leaned my head against the marble anyway, "You don't look too happy to see me."

"I was just about to take a nap."

Daniel chuckled shaking his head as he walked closer, "Is that an umbrella?" I asked as I noticed the thing he was holding.

"Yeah I had to run back to get this before I came." he pondered at the ground before muttering something and crouching down, and the rain stopped, well not the rain,  but the rain stopped falling  on me as he held the umbrella over us.

"You went back for an umbrella?" I questioned.

"Can't get my hair wet." He said in such  serious tone I wasn't sure if he was serious, I also didn't point out that the umbrella was basically dripping on him anyway and nodded. "Right, let's go."

"Go where." I said hesitated as he reached for my arm, I looked down at his arms, following the material over him as I looked up at him, "Why are you in a suit?"

"Did you always ask this many questions?" the corners of his lips tilted up as he looked at me with an amused expression, his warm fingers enclosed around my wrist, away from my wounds as he lifted me up effortlessly, and I frowned, there went my nap.

I staggered to a still leaning against what little body heat I could feel, at the same time not wanting to ruin his suit, "Why are you in a suit?" I asked again and then spotting his tie, "And a tie." I noted.

Daniel's slight chuckle filled the air as he wrapped an arm around my waist, "Come on, we don't have much time." 

I kept up with his fast pace confused, "But to where?"

"Your trial."

"My what?" I asked confused, what trial?

"If you don't come to the trial, you're automatically deemed guilty, it was too bad for them that Carter and I were watching their moves and saw them bring you here." Daniel came to a sudden stop and I nearly tripped over on the muddy ground in the hedge.

"Did they hurt you?"

I looked up seeing his hazel eyes frown down at me, I nearly got lost in those eyes, they looked like a warm cup of hot chocolate that I would kill for, I was freezing. 

I flinched when his finger brushed the hair out of my face, his fingers were so warm against my cheek, "Well, we can get our revenge later, come on we only have twenty minutes to make it."

He grasped my upper wrist, his fingers away from my wound and tugged me after him, "Maybe we wouldn't have to rush if you didn't go back to the umbrella." I said as my tired legs protested the sudden sharp movements. Daniel looked over his shoulder sending me that award winning smile, "Can't ruin my hair." 

I was about to make a comment about his hair as we finally made it through the hedge when there was a sudden sound making us both halt, "I thought something like this might happen." Daniel muttered and suddenly the umbrella vanished letting the cold rain hit us with a new force and I looked up at the men in front of us.

"You guys ruined my hair." Daniel frowned closing the umbrella and before I knew it he was using it as a weapon.

It took me a moment to realise what was happening before I jumped into action. We were outnumbered. There was no way two of us could take at least twenty people there.

Daniel had figured out the same, and there had to be more coming, "Sandy, get to the main hall now."

"What?" I called out as I blocked a flying fist, where the hell were their guns? Oh right, too much sound. 

"Main hall, Carter is waiting for you there."

"I can't just-,"

"Go."

I twisted the arm that tried to grab me, grabbing his knife from his hand before knocking him out. There seemed to be more coming from the far end and I looked towards the palace, it was far, really far to run. 

"Are you going or not?" Daniel called over his shoulder.

"Sheesh you're pushy." I muttered before breaking into a run the rain was making it really hard for me to keep my footing. I looked over my shoulder at Daniel, there were too many. I couldn't just leave him there. 

And I wasn't going to. Why couldn't we run together?

I rushed back catching him off guard as he gave me a "What the fuck," look.

"Isandra." he grumbled as someone toppled on top of him. I pulled him off giving him a hand, "You have legs, you can run with me."

I heard someone yell, like a warrior and turned just in time as someone ran towards us,  I sighed, really, can you make it obvious? If you were going to attack someone, keep it quiet. I grabbed Daniel with one hand giving him a tug up before I knocked the other guy out.

"My suit is ruined." Daniel grumbled.

"You look fine," I said, "duck!" I yelled and he followed. I don't think I ever really worked with someone like this, but at least we got the things done. "How fast can you run?" I asked as I fucked from another guy letting Daniel deal with that one as I punched anther one in the nose. 

"What why?"

"Because there's more," I said breathless, and to think that we just finished a few. I could hear Daniel grumble something, "Alright go.  I'll be right behind you." he yelled and I nodded finishing up the last man in front of me and turning around.

Screw helping him now I was exhausted, i couldn't even find the energy to run. Why couldn't someone have a car or something? I could feel my heart beating painfully against my chest, my breathe running out. 

The palace seemed so close yet so far, my gums ached from running so much I could almost taste blood in my mouth. I just wanted to stop for a breathe, and just as I was about to Daniel grabbed my wrist tugging me after him, "Don't look back."

I did anyway.

And regretted it.

"You never listen to me do you?"  His pace was much faster than mine, almost dragging me after him.

"Sorry." I muttered as I nearly slipped on the wet ground, I could see the palace doors only metres away but seeing how close they were behind us all it took was for one slip. No, don't slip.

The door seemed to open as we got closer, and we saw more men and I nearly stopped, "No that's Carter's men, it's okay." Daniel tugged me.

Well at least something was coming to our aid "You're late." Carter said as he saw us run in.

"We had a minor obstacle." Daniel said s he let go of my hand, and I bent over trying to catch my breathe.

"They already started."

Daniel swore under his breathe grabbing my hand and started to run again and I groaned, I didn't care if they hung me I just couldn't run anymore.

"WAIT. WE ARE HERE!" Daniel screamed as he threw open a door, and the room of silence greeted us and I looked up gasping for air, my heart stopping when I met thirteen pair of annoyed eyes staring at us.

"Maybe you shouldn't have yelled." I muttered.

When I write the sequel - should i keep it in this Story as in the labels will all be there so you know if its "book 1" or "book 2" or should I put it as a separate story if you get what i mean. I just thought this way the sequels are together and it'll be easier to read? Rather than click on an entirely separate book and everything. Also with the new wattpad profile changes and my countless books I thought keeping then together is easier to find and read.
