Chapter 8

 Andrew's perspective

¸.☆.¸

I exit the room, speed walking down the hall. If the castle really was going to get blown up, I didn't want to risk being a part of it. I glance at the wall as I walk, with paintings and candles hung nicely. All of it would be gone. I made my way to the main hall, and walked over to the room the king was usually kept in, to see the same woman from before standing outside of the door.

Not sure if I should waste my time, but she looked familiar from someplace else so I approach her, "are you some sort of doctor?" She looked at me, "sort of, why?" I fiddled with my fingers, "you seem oddly familiar to me, and I want to figure out why." She gave me a soft smile, "that'll have to wait until another time, the kingdom needs me at the moment." I grabbed her wrist, "there won't be any other time if we don't go now-" she retracted, caught off guard, pulling her hand away

"I don't know who you are and I'm not going anywhere with you." I sighed, "look, lady, the castle is going to get blown up and if we don't go right now-" Her eyes widened, cutting me off "Blown up?' I nodded, "Yes, and I know where we can go but we need to go, right now"

She was hesitant, but relented, grabbing her bag and nodding, I led her outside of the castle, and started making my way towards the stables. "Wait where are we going?" I didn't look at her, I kept my eyes in front of me, "If we're leaving I'm taking a horse, faster travel." "Leaving? Right now?" I stopped abruptly and turned to her

"The castle, kingdom, will be blown up soon and you're wondering why we're leaving now?" She put her hand in her bag, starting to look for something, pulling out a piece of folded paper, "I will need to get my son, if we're leaving. I can't leave without him." She handed me the folded paper to which was a picture, of who I assume was her son. "That's all great and all but this takes priority. We can pick him up afterwards." She nodded, and continued to follow me.
