Chapter 39 - Accident

(PRINCE MOISES P.O.V)

After Yeshiva and I returned back to the villa after attempting to break into my brother Prince Marshall hospital room. We ended up hitting a stumbling block because the hospital was heavily guarded. Learning that he only suffered a broken leg and a few broken ribs from the crash, kind of made me a bit irritated. Lucky bastard, I was hoping it put him in a coma the same thing he had done to me.

I saw that it was getting pretty late and my girls haven't made it back yet. I wondered if they had any problems getting close to my brother Morgan, my mother and grandfather. Since Natalie was with them I knew they would be safe.

“You seem to have a lot of your mind, want a drink?”, I heard Masiro say.

“I'm just worried about the girls”, I said, sitting down on one of the stools.

“I'm sure they'll be fine with Natalie”, Masiro said.

“I never got the chance to ask you, how do you feel about me being an exiled prince?”, I asked him.

He poured the liquor into the glass and slid it to me.

“I know we don't really care for the nobility, but since my granddaughters have nobility in their blood. I don't have any hard feelings about it” he said.

“What made you fall for my daughter, and how come she never came to visit home?”, he asked.

I took a sip and placed the glass back onto the bar. “She was worried you wouldn't accept the girls, after finding out she was pregnant with twins”, I said.

He sighed a little and took a sip, “Even though we aren't fond of nobles doesn't mean I'll reject my own grandchildren”, he said.

We chatted for a bit longer, and noticed the time was getting later by the minute.

After mother told Nashi to keep driving, we noticed the car was still following behind us from a distance.

“Keep driving the closer we are to the villa the better. Don't make it obvious to them that we know”, mother said, as she started to wake Sylvester and Rosie up.

“Yes ma'am”, Nashi said and kept driving steady.

I heard Rosie and Sylvester beginning to wake up as mother kept tapping them loud enough for me to hear.

“Mmm”, Rosie groaned, “What's with all the tapping”, she said, as she was waking up.

“We're being followed”, mother said.

“What?!”, Sylvester and Rosie shouted at the same time.

“Any idea on who would be following us?”, I asked out loud.

“Could be anyone from the palace”, mother replied.

“How far are we from the villa”, I asked Nashi.

“About another three in half hours”, Sylvester replied.

Nashi kept looking through the rear mirror.

“It seems like they're either going to follow us the whole way or try something soon”, mother said.

“Prepare yourselves for anything”, mother said, “I could shoot their tires but it's going to cause more problems, since guns are banned in the kingdom”, she continued on saying.

“Let's just focus on getting closer to the villa”, Nashi said speeding up a little.

“Any shortcuts?”, mother asked.

“Yeah, but it's still an hour out through the mountain”, Sylvester said.

“Let's head there, so they can follow and we'll deal with them.

We rode for another hour, and turned at the sign pointing towards the entrance to the mountains. The car continued to follow behind, and kept getting closer.

“I think they're going to try to hit the car soon”, mother said.

“Why do you think that?”, Nashi asked nervously.

“Since we turned, I'm sure they noticed we knew they were following us”, she said.

“What do we need to do now”, I asked.

“Brace yourselves for an impact”, she said.

A few seconds later, the car behind us hit Nashi's car in the back.

“Shit, they really did hit us”, Nashi said.

“At least we know it's a enemy now”, mother said, “We need to get hurry and lose them so we can get out of the car”, mother continued.

Nashi started speeding down the road entering through the mountain's. The car behind us started to speed up too hitting us in the back again, causing us to spin around.

“Shit!” Everyone shouting

“Hold on everyone”, Nashi said as he tried to control the steering wheel.

“Who the hell is that!”, Rosie shouted.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

“I don't know but if I get a hold on them I'll kill them”, mother said.

The car ran into us again causing us spin more, as Nashi tired to control the steering wheel.

“Shit everyone brace yourselves”, mother said.

The car spun around uncontrollably causing the driver side to slam into a tree.

After the impact, I started hearing voices and heard footsteps approaching the car. I was in and out of consciousness, then I suddenly blacked out.

“They should be here any minute”, I said, looking at the time.

It was almost three in the morning and the palace is only a couple of hours away.

Suddenly, the alarm on Masiro's phone started to go off. Causing Yeshiva to run into the dining area.

“Somethings wrong”, Masiro said, “Something must've happened to the girls”, Masiro stated.

My heart dropped, and I called for one of the butlers.

“Yes your highness”, the butler said as he ran into the room

“I need one of Nashi's car keys now!”, I shouted

The butler ran out of the dining area, and Masiro, Yeshiva and I rushed to the front door. The butler came running towards us a few minutes later, he handed me the keys and I threw them to Yeshiva.

“Let's go find my girls”, I said.

We rushed out of the villa, and out through the gate as it opened.

“Can you find their location?”, I asked Masiro.

Masiro looked at his phone and shook his head”, Something blocking the signal”, he said.

We got into the car and Yeshiva back up immediately.

“Any idea of how far they are?”, Yeshiva asked.

I turned my had to the back seat looking in Masiro direction.

“About two hours out”, he said.

(SAGE P.O.V)

I heard a voice and felt someone shaking me. I don't know how much time has passed since the impact.

“Sage wake up sweetie”, I heard my mother crying out.

I slowly opened my eyes, and looked around, and Nashi was unconscious. I slowly turned my head and felt the pain in my neck.

“Mmmm, ouch”, I groaned as I slowly lifted my right arm up.

“Rosemary sweetie, wake up”, I heard my mother say.

I turned my head and saw Sylvester had shield Rosie with his body and Rosie was also unconscious with blood coming down on the side of her head. I quickly lifted myself up ignoring my own pain in my body. I crawled over the seat as my mother started to pull Sylvester's unconscious body out of the car.

“Rosie”, I called out to her slowly moving her head, “Rosie wake up”, I shouted at her.

Mother crawled into the car and felt Rosie's pulse.

“She still has a pulse”, mother said, “Are you okay?”she asked, stroking the hair on my head.

“Just sore, What are we going to do?”, I asked my mother, while putting my forehead against Rosie's.

“Rosie”, I cried out.

“Let's try to move them”, mother said.

I helped my mother take them out of the car and we found bushes next to some trees that were hidden from the road and laid them against some trees. We propped their bodies up against the trees because we were worried about the bleeding on the head.

“Sage press the button on your bracelet”, mother said,”it should send a signal to your grandfather”, she continued.

I nodded my head and pressed the button my mother had shown me.

We sat down for a second to gather ourselves for a second.

“Whoever did this, I'm going to hunt them down and kill their whole family”, mother said.

“Mother”, I said, “Is Rosie going to be okay?”, I asked, as I started to cry.

Mother placed her hand on my head, “she'll be fine, your sister is strong”, she said, trying to reassure me.

Suddenly we heard someone waking up and mother ran over to them.

“Nashi, how are you feeling?”, she asked.

“My head”, he mumbled.

“Can you move?”, mother asked

“Yes I think so”, he said, raising up his body, “Where's Sage?”, he asked.

Mother pointed in my direction, and Nashi looked over looking at Rosie and Sylvester.

“Are they alive?”, he asked, as he moved to check on Sylvester.

“They still have a pulse, but it's weak, we need to get them back to the villa”, mother said.

A few minutes later, we saw headlights approaching us and Nashi and mother hurried to move Rosie and Sylvester bodies closer to where we were. After laying them down, mother grabbed me and laid onto the ground, while Nashi did the same.

“Don't say a word”, mother whispered in my ear.

We heard a car door open and heard voices as they got out. We heard them shut the doors.

“Is this where you caused them to crash?”I heard a man's voice.

“I hope that stupid bitch died”, I heard a familiar voice.

“Son of a bitch”, mother said.

“What are you going to do if the young duke died as well?”, I heard the man say.

“That's what he deserves since he chose a peasant woman over me”, the woman said.

“Fucking bitch”, I said realizing it was Countess Melanie's voice.

I'm going to kill that bitch, I mumbled.

“Let's see what she does”, mother said.

“Check the car”, I heard the man say.

“Shit, they might search for us when they see the car is empty”, mother said.

“It looks like their gone, should we search?”, I heard the man say.

“No, let's go if they're on foot it'll teach that stupid lowborn a lesson”, Countess Melanie said, “Let's go head home, it's only 30 minutes from here”, she continued.

I felt my blood starting to boil, watching them as they drove off.

I balled my fist tighter and looked at my mother and saw the rage on her face.

“Mother, how hurt are you?”I asked.

“I'm fine enough to go burn down an entire estate”, she said.

I looked at Nashi and bent down to give him a kiss. “Take care of my sister”, I said.

“My father should be on his way, take care of them for us”, mother said to Nashi.

“Wait!, where are you two going?”, Nashi asked, while shouting.

“That bitch is going to die tonight”, I said, while gritting my teeths.

“At least wait until your grandfather arrives,” he said.

“There's no guarantee when they will come the bracelet only notifies when something happens to the person who wears it. It must've been Rosemary's bracelet since she is unconscious with a weak pulse”, mother explained.

Mother and I started walking through the forest even though we were in pain.

“Try not to overdo it”, mother said.

“I don't care how long it takes for us to get there”, I said.

Mother and I traveled on foot for over an hour. I looked over and watched mother looking around the surroundings as if she was searching for something.

“Mom?”I called out to her, “What are you looking for?”, I asked.

“A ribbon”, she said.

I was confused, “why a ribbon?”, I asked.

“When we followed behind Prince Marshall, I tied a ribbon around one of the trees:, " she said.

“How could you see it if it's dark?”, I asked, curiously.

“When you grow up inside a clan filled with mercenaries and anybody could try to harm you at any time. You tend to train your senses as you get adapted to the harsh trainings”, she said.

Before I could ask anything else, mother walked over to a tree that had a yellow ribbon tied to it.

“Found it”, mother said, and pointed in a certain direction.

I looked and saw a massive mansion, abounded by a huge wall.

“That's Count Livens estate,” mother said, and looked at me.

We started walking down the hill from the forest towards the back of the mansion. I swear I'm going to kill that bitch, I mumbled to myself.

(PRINCE MOISES P.O.V)

After traveling for two hours, we finally found the location of the signal. We turned on a road that looked like the entrance to one of the nearby mountains. As we rode up the road we noticed a car on the side of the road that had slammed into a tree. The tree was broken in half and had fallen on of the top of the car. Yeshiva parked in front the car, and we all rushed out the vehicle.

“This is where the signal is," Masiro said.

I ran to the car and started to look through the window. I could hardly hear Yeshiva and Masiro calling out the girls' names.

“Over here”, I heard someone say in a weak voice.

We all rushed over to wear the voice came from, and I saw Nashi on the ground with Rosemary and Sylvester's head laid on his lap. I dropped down to the ground to check Rosemary, she had a cut on the side of her head and was unconscious.

“Rosemary”, I called out to hear.

“Where's Natalie and Sage?”I heard Masiro shouting.

I picked up Rosemary's unconscious body and handed her to Yeshiva, and went to grab Sylvester's body off Nashi as Masiro helped Nashi stand up.

“Where's Natalie and Sage?”, I yelled out.

“They went to..” he paused as he tried to stand.

“What?!”, I said, as I tried to understand what he was saying.

“They went to kill Countess Melanie”, he said.
