Edward slowly turned to see what had caused the noise. He placed his hand on his belt, where his sword was... Wait. His sword.He looked down on his belt and saw that there was no strap to it neither was there a sword sheath. He didn't have his weapon on him."It must be inside," Edward said to himself as he walked out of the stable. He paused after he saw one of his horses, trotting away. He squinted and saw that the horse was not a lone.On it was the thief who had stolen the horse and the murderer who had killed Richard.He looked at his Manor longingly, wanting to go in and take his sword but he knew that if he did, he wouldn't have enough time to go after the thief. If he left, he would not be able to go after the thief."Fuck it," he muttered as he turned and began chasing the horse. Running back into the stable and struggling to pick a horse and bring it out of the stable would only mean more time wasted for him. He didn't want that at the moment. He looked down at the grass a

When she heard her father say this, she didn't know how to react to the news. She tried explaining to him that she was in love with someone else and would want to get married to him instead but her father refused to change his mind. It seemed like he had already thought through his decision before he told her the news. Emily had no other choice but to accept it due to the love and respect that she had for him but right now, she wished that she had done otherwise. She sighed and took off all of her clothes before walking into her bathroom. Her bath had already been prepared just as she had ordered.She sat on the edge of the bathtub and dipped her feet into the hot steaming water. Taking a deep breadth, she put the other leg in before submerging herself into the water. She was in for what seemed like forever and the little time that she was in there, she felt like the whole world didn't exist anymore. She had found piece.Unfortunately, the piece was not to last long as she still had

"He is not here?" Emily asked as she searched around the whole place with her eyes. He truly wasn't here. "But I heard voices before I entered and I can swear that I heard His Grace's voice too.""But His Grace is not here, Your Grace," Mr. Brown said, looking around as if searching for His Grace too. Emily could not know if Mr. Brown was lying due to the emotionless expression that he had on his face.With a sigh, she turned to the stable door and said, "if he does come back from wherever he went to, please do not hesitate to let me know.""I will not, Your Grace," Mr. Brown answered as he bowed slightly. With pain in her heart, Emily turned and walked out of the stable, closing the door shut behind her. *******Edward laid beside the horse the whole time Emily and Mr. Brown were conversing. The whole place reeked of horse dung and Edward cussed at himself for leaving his hat behind.He was still laying there when he noticed something. There were blood trails around him and it was

Edward woke up with a start after having a bad dream. After he woke, he found it hard for him to go to sleep again. Sleep had left his eyes.He groaned as he sat up on his bed and lit the candle by his bedside. He looked at his study table and saw the bucket of cigars that were sitting at the top. He wanted so much to smoke.He then remembered that he had taken one cigar with him when he wanted to go out. He came down from his bed and slowly walked to where he had hung his coat.As he walked, he heard a small crack underneath his feet. He raised his feet up and saw the wrapper and scattered tobacco on his rug. The servants had not cleaned the room.He sighed and picked his coat on the chair where he had hung it before digging his hands into the pockets and bringing out the cigar that he had taken. It was all smooshed and the remains of the tobacco had been scattered in his pockets. Maybe this was a sign for him not to smoke.He grumbled and dropped his coat back on the chair before wa

Emily fell asleep curled up on the floor beside her bed. She had cried all night and had decided to finally fall asleep after her body seemed to produce no more tears from her eyes.Suddenly, she heard a loud noise that shook her from her sleep. She woke up with a start and quickly stood up from the curled position she was sitting in."What was that?" she shouted as she began looking around the room for what had caused the explosion. Her eyes landed ok her window where a large amount of smoke was seeping into the room.With loud heaving and coughing, she rushed towards the window and closed it shut before pulling the drapes. The whole thing was an irony to her. She wanted the drapes opened but she now she had to close them herself.She looked around for what she could use to blow away the smoke that was now clouding the room. Her eyes stung as sooth entered her eyes and she sneezed and coughed uncontrollably as the smoke filled her lungs."Where is that fire coming from?" she mumbled
