Chapter 192 Fire in the Library 2 (2/2)
”I am glad you came out safely as well. Have all the people exited the library? Are all safe?” I asked hastily.
”So far, all the personnel and majority of the guests in the library today are accounted for and safely got out. Only minimal cuts and bruises were reported in the ensuing panic to go out and are now being treated by the medical team that came.” Mr. Sinclair said. ”
”My cousin, princess Satiana. Have you seen her?” I asked.
”I am afraid she is one of the few guests that are still not listed that safely got out your highness.” Mr. Sinclair said. ”Weren't you with her when you got out your highness?”
My heart jumped from my chest, it was beating rapidly in nervousness. ”No, we got separated with the strings of people.”
I looked at the burning building again and dashed my way to enter it once more.
”Princess, what do you think you are doing?!” William grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into his grasps.
”NO! Satiana and Jack, they are still in there!” I screamed. ”I got to go back and save them!”
My heart was beating faster and faster. The hysteria is building up inside of me.
”You can't go back inside! It's too dangerous!” William held me tightly in his embrace. I tried so hard to come free of his arms.
”No! Let me go, I need to go back!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Dark clouds started to brew on top of us accompanied lightning and thunder. The sounds of thunder crackled in the clouds and not long heavy rain poured from above.
The people were surprised at first and then ran to take shelter from the heavy pouring rain. People started to murmur.
”Why is it raining?”
”This is the first rain I have seen in decades.”
”It frequently snows here but this is the first time I see it rain.”
The people were surprised with the heavy pouring rain. Because this country's weather has been freezing for the past decades, it has been a long time last they have seen rain pouring from the sky.
The heavy rain helped to weaken the burning fire from the building. The people shout in rejoice. When I see the burning starting to weaken, my heart started to calm down slowly.
”Is this your doing?” William asked in my ear. He was still holding me tightly, frightened that I will enter the burning building. ”It is fine now. The fire is starting to weaken. I am sure that Jack will keep Satiana safe.”
I looked up and see the dark clouds above. The heavy rain was splashing onto my face concealing the tears I was shedding.
'Was this my doing?' I thought to myself. I know that I am adept in using water magic but I never thought I can control the weather and make it rain like this.
”But Satiana and Jack are still inside.” I said in worry.
But after I said those words I heard a crashing sound from above. When I looked up, the windows in the upper floor were broken.
”Look out!” William pulled me to the side fast to avoid the falling glass debris. And after that I saw a shadow jump out of the broken window.
The shadow became more visible to me and saw Jack rappelling down with Satiana cradled in his arms. My heart felt relieved instantly.
'They came out safely.” I sighed in relief.
