CHAPTER 38

ADRIAN

I watched helplessly as everything slipped out of my control. One minute I had everything in my palms and the next, the power wasn't mine anymore. The anger that had built up in my chest was too toxic to keep. I roared and swiped the contents on my study table, icluding the lit candle that glowed in the dark. The orange flame kissed the carpet and in a second, it breathed it's flame to it and came to life. I watched as the carpet burnt rapidly, my mind, a thousand miles away.

Dull voices sounded in my ear before the guards apleared in my eyesight. They stumped on the fast burning flame with their shoes a few times before it became dark. I heard sound of rustling before the study lit with a bright orange light from the torch at the far end of my study, adjacent to the doors.

I didn't look up to the guards, neither did i say a word to them. I wordlessly left the study room, my steps weak and faltering. I didn't know when it got to this stage. It was all my fault honestly.
