Mrs. Smith declared that and passed out as she saw the deep bleeding marks of those teeth that were burning terribly. Her strike, beating the floor sounded the same as the mountain that creaked on their heads a few hours before.
Luna was pricked, seeing Elizabeth with a mouth full of blood was scary. Her eyes rolled on the man who was struggling to wake his wife up.
"Release me!" Elizabeth yelled out but no one listened.
The door of the living hall slammed back and the wind brought the lash of rains inside. Uncle Miguel and Ryan ran inside, both their rain covers saturated by water. They took it off and handed them to a valet who went to them.
"What are you doing?" He flooded to the people who were taking Elizabeth back tightly.
Ryan rushed to Luna and grabbed her arm, saying, "we are here; they can't harm you." He bitterly smiled at Luna who was peering at him in astonishment.
"Master James, the girls attacked them," Anastasia noted, releasing Elizabeth.
The young girl ran to her uncle, burying her frail figure in her uncle's strong arms. Peeking back at those spiritless savagely. Flames were seizing out of her eyes.
"I didn't ask what these children had done! I do see that but what did you do that caused their fury?"
His eyes shifted on the couple. Mr. Smith grasped the meaning behind that look of Miguel and replied, "we did nothing, they appeared from a dark corner and see what they did to my wife."
Uncle Miguel looked down at the desperate face, she was shaking her head in denial.
"Liar! You said you want to hand us to the court!" Luna shouted.
"We were talking about the law!"
The man replied.
"Father! Is this true?" The marveled Ryan asked, squeezing Luna's hand added, "I won't let them do this. They will taste my blade."
Uncle Miguel clenched his fist. These clinging leeches were aiming to pass the adoption to the court for money and position. He swallowed his rage, it could make the situation worse for now.
"Calm down, Ryan. Take them up!" He gazed at Barbara and continued, "Charles told us to prepare them for the funeral."
Elizabeth gulped. She had many words that he must listen to, but what he just mentioned was a twitched reminder that their father should join the soil.
Ryan and Luna obeyed promptly and sneaked up the stairs while Elizabeth was standing there still. Barbara walked closer and put her hand on her shoulder. Elizabeth found herself among people who were stretching then the unsteady shapes changed to black.
"Milady!" Barbara shouted.
Elizabeth fell and before hitting the floor, Uncle Miguel snatch her. He frowned, in the first hours, no one expressed just a little bit of sympathy to this kid. He heard what Lisa mentioned about her bruised body. He would not let all of this unanswered. Regretting leaving them alone in this absolute nightmare for two certain years...
Holding Elizabeth, uncle Miguel seized up the stairs and passed by the other two youths who were lazily dragging themselves into the room. The cramped tension behind, made them stay still. Elizabeth was in their uncle's hand who was rushing to their room. It was awe for Luna, she panicked and when Ryan pulled her arm with him, she just noticed the cold air that passed by her as Barbara speeded after uncle Miguel.
"Elizabeth," Luna breathed out her name and her sister said nothing.
Barbara opened the door for uncle Miguel and he entered, putting Elizabeth on the mattress. He checked for her weak pulses.
"Send someone to bring a healer," he glanced back at Luna, "come, help me clean her mouth from the stink of blood."
Luna asked, bringing the clean sheets from the table.
"Yes, she is just exhausted. And both of you are going to explain to me what had been happening to you. What did bring those bruises on her body and what went on in the Mountain Road?"
He said, and grabbed the sheets from luna, pouring water on them that he snatched from the table beside their bed, cleaning blood from Elizabeth's mouth. Nonetheless, it was a wrong deed to bit that woman, Miguel was happy that the girls were brave enough to fight for themselves before they could have gained help. He had thought they must be moaning by now but it was wrong. They were unlike what he had believed.
The door grew wide and Barbara came inside, announced, "Mrs. Elenore James and Dorian Black just came with a healer."
"Call him up!"
Uncle Miguel wished.
"She brought the healer with her!" Ryan noted.
"How fast she got healed, but my father died," Luna noted.
Elizabeth's mouth was clean, yet, she had to brush her teeth to clean the blood of Mrs. Smith from her mouth.
"Calm down, my darling! We are not in a position to determine someone's faith."
Her uncle warned her. She could make the gods unrelenting for desiring devilish wishes. She shouldn't buy curses for herself.
Barbara didn't wait and left the room. Ryan strode after her to see if Elenore was really fine like what Luna mentioned, she never lied. He followed the maiden until reaching the Gallery Balustrade. He stood in the dark and his blue eyes glinted. The woman was walking on her own and only her left hand was wrapped in plaster. Dorian black was beside her.
"She is right, how could she survive a harsh downfall?"
He turned his eyes on her parents and the chunky woman was now on her feet, growling at the healer who rushed to help her.
"I could have lost my hand with those dirty teeth."
Ryan closed his eyes to wash down his bitterness. This woman was heartless. Barbara inquired for the healer and the woman became more insane than she was.
"No way, he would have tended to her after fixing back my hand. I can't bear any infection."
She shouted. Elenore was mute the whole time, watching her mother.
The healer was cleaning the blood and looked at the Captain.
"I have to stitch the teeth wound, they dove deep."
Ryan smirked, whispering, "well deserved."
"She knew that we were watching them. They were deciding to hand us to the court, taking my father's wealth."
Ryan yanked back, seeing Luna who was behind her as if a stray ghost.
"Did I scare you?"
She smiled bitterly, thinking, would they really accept them?
