6 Chapter - 6 (2/2)

Robert pushed Peter into a dark alley and hid from them while a door next to them opened.

”Brother!”

They heard a young girl's voice which made them rejoiced.

”Elly!”

Peter ran towards her and hugged her. Even though she was in ragged clothes, she looked slightly well compared to what he expected.

”Let's get out of here before those knights catch us” Roberts hurried them and pulled them deep into that dark alley.

But Elly stopped them and said ”We cannot go out of here. This place may look poor but people here are not. This is all a pretense. Let us get inside and speak about a plan before we escape”

When they entered they saw the eminence of the place and wondered whether they had entered the wrong place.

But seeing Elly joyfully skipping through the crowd of famous people, they opened their mouths in awe.

When they reached the end of the hallway, they saw Peter's grandmother.

”Grandma!”

Peter shouted and ran to hug her which made grandma lose her balance when he slammed against her.

”My baby, darling! I missed you!”

Granny Rose hugged Peter and kissed him. Then she noticed Robert but before she could smile she saw the Hygelnewl and its guardian emerging from Peters' bag.

Rose knit her eyebrows and before anyone can realize the situation, Hygelnewl grew larger which made the people scream and scattered around the house.

Everyone stood in one corner further away from that plant with fear evident in their eyes.

”Everyone calm down. Peter can you explain to us what is going on and why are you carrying this devil plant in your bag?” Grandma demanded.

Peter started explaining everything from when he left the campsite and how he reached this place and as well what happened to their parents.

Everyone around them felt tears strained their face and they know all these happened because of their stupidity to let the unknowns into their territory which made them split among themselves into dark ones and sabers.
