The light from the lanterns on the streets fell on the dead bodies, making it a gruesome sight. The entire place area was stinking of fresh blood and the two men sucked in a deep breath as soon as they saw the scene filled with gore.
Gregory and Erik had been in the royal army for decades and had fought quite a few battles. They had seen people dying and blood spilling. Although in the beginning, they had been scared from the sight of blood. Slowly, they had become accustomed to it and had overcome the fear of death.
But now, the known fear which they had experienced the first time at the sight of blood returned to them and it was more intense than it had been before. The scene before them was brutal, terrifyingly gory.
What made it ghastly was that Gregory and Erik knew all the men who now lay dead before them. They had seen the young guards training hard while they joined the army and some of them even had practiced with them during their free time.
"Oh Lord!!" Erik breathed as he recognized the young men. He was appalled at the sight and it took him a long time to come out of his fright. "How did this happen?"
"All these young men," Gregory too was aghast and his feet turned cold before he blinked and moved his gaze away from them. "Where is our Commander? Erik, did something...."
"No, it cannot be. No, no, no." Erik shook his head, unable to accept his Commander being in danger.
He and Gregory were some of the few people who admired Aylin for who she was and her abilities and had wholeheartedly supported her. Even when she became the Commander, they cheered for her, not at all envious of her becoming their superior in their army.
"Commander must have returned home only a few moments ago and these young men seemed to have been dead for quite some time. I hope she is fine and safe." Erik pulled out his sword while his other hand clutched onto his dagger, ready to battle it out with anyone if necessary.
"Let us take a look. I just wish that child and her family are safe." Gregory too followed suit and the two men stealthily walked back to the entrance door, watching out for the enemies on their way.
"Commander," Erik stepped inside and squinted his eyes on seeing the darkness inside the manor. Though the light from the lanterns on the street illuminated his path, it was quite dark to make out anything.
"I'll bring one of the lanterns." Gregory left the manor while Erik waited for him as he tried to sense if anyone was present inside, while he stayed in his place. It was dark and he did not wish to be at a disadvantage if the enemy was still inside.
"Commander," Erik shouted again. But he did not get any response and an intense premonition settled in his heart. 'This is wrong. This is really wrong and I can still smell blood inside the manor. Please, let everyone be safe.' He begged while Gregory returned hurriedly with a lantern in his hand.
The two men started walking stealthily while he looked around with Gregory leading the way. At first, they did not find anything amiss. It was only when they entered the small hall that they noticed blood on the floor.
"Oh, Lord!! Is that Zeev, Aylin's younger brother?" Gregory rushed to the young boy and checked his pulse only for his eyes to widen. He turned towards the man who looked equally shocked as him and shook his head.
"Where is Commander?" Gregory continued and picked up the lantern again. "And where are her other family members?"
Erik remained silent, his mind still recalling Zeev's lifeless face. His throat had been slit expertly, giving him a clean and quick death. The murderer had been swift and agile and from his observation, Erik was sure that he was proficient at it.
They strode slowly, Gregory flashing the lantern everywhere around him before they reached the nearest room. The door was ajar and the two men noticed a mass on the bed. Taking a closer look, their eyes widened again on seeing who it was and they were horrified beyond belief.
"Siena," Gregory cried, his heart wrenching in pain on seeing the little girl he often played with now lying dead. "How did this happen? Who killed them all?" He almost yelled, his misery increasing as time passed.
"Aylin."
Gregory did not even have the chance to speak further when Erik shouted in panic and he rushed to where his friend was standing only to find their Commander lying unconscious while she held her aunt in her embrace.
Erik kneeled beside them and checked their breathing, his heart pounding in mad reverie. "Aylin is alive but...but..." He took in a deep breath, his eyes tearing up immediately. "Her aunt is no more."
"What do we do now? Should I call the physician?"
"Yes, we should. Bu...should we let Aylin stay here? She might be traumatized and.."
"My brother-in-law's manor is on this lane. Let us take Aylin there. My sister can take care of her until she wakes up." Gregory suggested and Erik nodded at him before he separated the two women. He then lifted Aylin with ease and the two men left the house, their minds still reeling in the horrors of the night.
It had been a beautiful night for them. They had returned to Aranill, their home and everyone had been happy. It was truly miserable to meet with such a disaster and the men were beyond aggrieved, especially for Aylin who they truly respected and adored.
Meanwhile, none of the men noticed the pair of cold eyes that kept following them. The man stared at the unconscious woman and his lips curved up.. His sinister eyes flashed with a triumphant gleam before he licked his lips, savoring the taste of the blood of his victims that he had brutally murdered.
