Luna frowned, clenching her fists. Death was their weakness and it began following them, becoming their company. They had to become overwhelming so nothing would harm them, she thought.
"Shut up!" She shouted at Ell. Even Dorian who put Elenore inside the cart was stunned and ducked his head out of the door.
Elizabeth was speechless and only peered at her sister who passed by. She was in pain, Ell could sense it but she never talked to her like this, out of manner.
"Bring her inside," Luna ordered the guards. Her heart became cold, she couldn't get rid of it. She let it chain her, hiding her sorrow in the deeps.
Elizabeth shook herself madly, released herself from their hands, and shot them aggressive sights.
"I can go on my own."
She left them behind and went inside the cart. Her eyes were tied to her sister who was looking outside. Captain Black was trying to wake Elenore up.
"How could she survive?"
Luna asked, her eyes lost light and the dark circles appeared under her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Captain didn't bother to look at her.
"My father is dead, but she is still alive! Why did this wicked b*tch survive while my father must die?"
Captain drew his hand off her face, stopped cleaning the face, and flooded on Luna, clawed her arm between those thick large fingers, squeezing her.
"You stupid kid, I don't care who you are, I can send you to your father if you speak like that again."
Elizabeth saw how the man was aiming to hurt her sister, she drew out the dagger that she just gained two hours before and smoothly moved to Elenore's chest. Her red cloak danced as if blood-spattered around.
"Do you like this witch? Then don't wish to lose her because my dagger is thirsty of the first blood taste."
Ell menaced.
Dorian was sure that Ell had been holding a grudge toward Elenore because of the lash beats. His eyes averted on the girl, she had a dagger, a real unique one that sat on Elenore's chest and could dive inside with less of a scramble. He released Luna.
"I am not tending to hurt you. I am in sorrow like both of you. This is no one's mistake. I saw how the mount ruined on them."
Luna didn't answer him just gazed away. She saw the wheels that were damaged, she believed that someone exploited them to kill her father. Now everything was fishy to her. On the same day that they lost their mother, the world rounded the same so they lost their father too.
Elizabeth shifted her dagger away when she was assured of him being no threat but she stood near Luna, her dagger was nude, glinting out sparks.
They said no words until they reached the city. Barson, the rich and strategic town where the merchants' loved crossing it, because of the big station of their steam locomotive.
Elizabeth heard the steam puffing out of the new train that just arrived. She always loved to watch that event but this time everything was different. Nothing in the world had that much enjoyment for her.
The cart paced the speed and crossed the streets then it stopped near the infirmary. Captain Black picked Elenore and went outside of the cart.
"She must die too." Luna blurted.
Elizabeth knew that Luna turned dark with the shock of this accident. Now without their father, this cruel witch would take everything from them.
"We won't stay with her. Let her burn in hell, Luna."
"She will make our life as hell! Should I remind you of the marks on your body? Lisa saw them, I remember her face."
Luna spoke the words that were hidden inside her.
"We can go to uncle Miguel."
Elizabeth frowned, she was still upset with Luna. Her tongue got sharper than blades out of a sudden.
"Take them home." It was Captain's voice.
The cart began to move as the carter flapped the lariat and then hooted. People outside of the cart knew whose the vehicle was but the whispers increased, ears to ears as they heard what Captain was carrying.
"Do you believe that he wants us? He never came to meet us."
Elizabeth was not in agreement with her. They received letters from him and Ryan each month. Who would like to see Elenore on the seat of their mother? She didn't fancy it too.
"He does like this, once he told me, he wished to keep us in Riva." She lied.
Luna's face smoothed. Elizabeth never lied to her.
"She will take all the fortunes, and might release us instead," Elizabeth noted.
"Father had the clue of the reason she did marry him. This marriage was not out of love, she wasn't head over heels in love with our father. It didn't matter how handsome this man was."
Luna remarked. She didn't want her to earn even a coin of what their father gained with hard works during dangling with crazy old courtiers. She hated herself for thinking about this. She just lost her father and couldn't be so cruel and disgusting to care about money. But to her, it wasn't the fortune, it was all hatred toward Elenore who used to fight their father because of the girls.
"I don't care about that, but due to law, the Lord's children must be offered to the court. I am scared of being sold if she didn't let us be with uncle."
Elizabeth heard her heartbeats that were hammering in her chest. Although it was just a possibility, she didn't want to be handed to an old man to raise her and could make her, his mistress. An image of dark people displayed in her mind, they extended hands to have each of them.
They said no word as their hearts were heavy.. Their future grew hazy and without their father, they had no idea what to do.
