Chapter 12 - Chapter:-12 Barys death (1/2)

”Huff...Huff...Huff...Huff ” Bary Chain woke up gasping for breath ,beads of sweat rolled down his ghastly pale face. His fingers tightly clenching on to the sheets.

He was a 48 years old man, with a disabled leg. He worked inside the [Northern mines] in the border town, mining was a source of income for many.

His wife died 6 years ago leaving behind a 12-years old daughter, with whom his relation was stained, his daughter considered him the reason for his wife's death.

He had a average built ,barely above the category of undernourished, his daughter had his black-raven hair and similar face structure.

He spend most of his time, gambling or mining though he used the money earned from gambling to send her daughter to study at the public school.

He loved his wife, but he didn't care about his daughter, only because she reminded him of his late wife, he spend money for her education.

One day, during mining the cave collapsed on his legs, crushing them beyond repair. His partner tried to kill him and take all of his belongings.

Somehow, his daughter became a witch conjuring a flame and burned his partner alive. He hated witches as much as he loved his wife.

Now that his own flesh and blood was one, he couldn't tolerate it. The image of his beloved wife, a witch ?!!!!.....Never. So he report his own daughter to the guards and had them take her away.

He got 25-gold coins which could very well allow him to spend his remaining live without the need to work.

But since the day his daughter was 'hanged', he was getting these terrifying nightmares ,that the undead would drag him to hell. He was out of breath and shivering due to the fear growing inside him.

'I must visit a priest !!!!.' Bary thought ,in the southern parts of the Kingdom, there weren't many churches and in a place like Border land, it was impossible for the church to provide aid.

He extended his shivering hand to the empty bowl and poured some water from the jug in the bowl.

He moved his forward to drink the water, he body suddenly came to an abrupt stop. A blurry figure or rather a image reflected from the surface of the water inside the bowl.

The figure had red-eyes glowing in the darkness, the iris of the figure was non-existant ,it held onto the ceiling ,his nails and toes dugged inside the ceiling.

Bary trembled and rolls off the bed, falls down of the cold floor. He crawled as his legs didn't work. A hand extended from below the bed and grabbed onto Bary's leg.

It pulled his inside the darkness, Bary struggled as he looked up ,the figure was gone but Bary knew that the one who held his leg was no one other than that figure.

Bary screamed and screamed but no one came to his rescue, It was like no one heard his call, like no one knew what was happening to him.
