Chapter 46 - 46

Ext. Mountain - Day

Leo raises his sword to kill him, Ella immediately blocks him with a sword and creates a distance

Leo: What are you doing?

Ella: I dare any one of you to lay a single finger on him. I swear you will lose your life

Captain: This is not the time for nonsense. He is the enemy, have you forgotten the death of your parents? Kill him yourself

Ella: I haven't forgotten a thing. Still, he will not be harmed or else I will turn this camp upsidedown

Riley: Are you threatening us? Don't tell me you have really fallen in love with him. Traitor! You should perish with him. It's either him or us

Ella: You are right, I do love him a lot. He should not pay for the sins of his father. So back off

Captain: Let him be

Dan: I don't mean any harm to you, I promise I will stand by your side

Riley: Why would you go against your own father without a reason? He is smooth talking his way out of this situation. Coward!

Ella: He is not his father, he killed his family. Now everyone go training and let's just drop this

The crowd dispells, they sit down and she starts tending to his wound

Ella: You are starring

Dan: I am happy that my wife loves me a lot to the point of fighting her people just for me. You shouldn't have tried to push me away

Ella: Don't push your luck and don't ever follow me again or else I will kill you myself

Dan: I have nothing to fear from you. I am impressed by the way you intimidated everyone with your empty threat

Ella: Empty threat! I was not bluffing and they know I meant every word I said. They call me psycho

Dan: Are you really that good?

Ella: What do you think? Didn't you like the scene at the weapon storage

Dan: How can I forget that nightmare. Are you cheating on me?

Ella: Have you gone crazy?

Dan: Because that guy is staring at you and it bothers me

Ella: He is Leo, Mary's son. The stich is done, we should go back before your father starts suspecting us

Dan: You haven't given me a clear explanation

Leo: Ella, can I talk to you

Ella: Sure, I will be back (step a bit far)

Leo: Please don't go

Ella: What do you mean, I have to go with my husband

Leo: He is not your husband but a cover up

Ella: Leo, what is wrong with you? You are acting strange again. How scary

Leo: It's because I love you

Ella: (silently looks at him) I am sorry, my heart already belongs to him. I will not leave him (walks away)

Dan: Are you ok, you guys looked very serious and intense

Ella: It's nothing, let's go

Int. Palace - Throne room- Night

He is wondering about the disappearance of Mike

King Lion: Do you know where Mike is

Cy: No, but rumor has it he has collected some men and went into the woods

King Lion: He went on a mission I know nothing about. When you see him tell him to come straight to me. He has a lot of explaining to do

Cy: Yes sir

King Lion: You two, where have you been?

Dan: We just came from a walk

King Lion: Then what's with that blood, did you get into a fight?

Ella: He fell, it's nothing serious

King Lion: Go on, get that treated

Ext. Mountain - Night

The moon is shinning brightly. Everyone is relaxed and having a good time

Leo: Today it's very quiet for a mountain. Even the animals cannot be heard

Melanie: Of course, it's a full moon after all. I am happy everyone is finally relaxed after the months of heavy training

Dawn: It's like the calm before the storm

Wayne: Don't jinx us. Shh! Guys do you hear that?

Leo: What?

Melanie: It's like many horses are coming our way

Leo: You must be mistaken. It could be animal

Dawn: No, we are under attack. Alert the others (they run to defend themselves)

Mike: Kill every living soul in here

There is a battle in the camp, everybody killing each other

Int. Dan's room- Night

Ella is having a nightmare

Dan: Ella, wake up

Ella: (breathes heavily) Junior!

Dan: You were having a nightmare. Don't worry, it's just a bad dream

Ella: No, my intuition tells me something is wrong. We need to go to the camp now

Dan: It is the middle of the night. You will surely raise a suspension. Lately Mike has been watching us closely

Ella: You think so?

Dan: Come, go to sleep now. We will go there immediately after breakfast tomorrow

Ext. Mountain - Night

Everyone is checking each other

Captain: It is good that we have killed all of them

Wayne: Not all of them, one escaped. But he is injured

Captain: How can you be irresponsible. You were not supposed to let him go no matter what. Who knows if he will go and get reinforcement

Wayne: I am sorry

Captain: Melanie you tend to the injured. My worst fear has become a reality. I knew it sooner or later we will get discovered. It's seems we have run out of luck. We have to move from this place

Girlie: (she comes running) We have a huge problem

Melanie: What is wrong?

Girlie: Junior! I think he is dead (she brings forth his body to be examined?

Wayne: Darn it! How will we break this news to her. She just lost her last remaining family member. She will surely murder us one by one

Melanie: He is indeed dead

Riley: Let her try. I did warn her not to let that guy go. And look, somehow our location got leaked after he was here

Girlie: Poor Junior! He was too young and should have lived to become a grown man. I feel sad for Ella
