Vampire ruler's strong Bride Chapter 38: Assassination attemp

' Although most of the people in our family hate her , I cannot help but think that she isn't bad . ' thought Browen .

Browen kept thinking about Kiara and the past . He was trying hard to link the action of the past and understand how she changed so much . At the end of the corridor, there was a corner from which Kiara suddenly appeared with her hands full of food .

' The person I was thinking of right now is in front of me ?! ' thought Browen surprised .

The bright smile Kiara was wearing in her face from the delicious sweets she was holding didn't last long when she saw Browen . She didn't want to start a useless fight and decided to avoid him by going on her way .

'' You sure have changed a lot Kiara but you still remain childish . By seeing how childish you're sometimes , makes me wonder how you managed to be an Heir candidate . '' said Browen with a serious face . Kiara stopped and came near him .

'' You can continue to wonder if you like but you will just be wasting your time since I already am a candidate . Try using the time you waste on me , on your revisions . '' said Kiara with a smirk looking straight in his eyes .

' The look in her eyes .....fearless , fierce .....I can see the fire burning inside them . ' thought Browen looking at her deep brown golden eyes . A slight breeze started which slowly made Kiara's hair fly messily .

She was eating sweets and a bit of strawberry cream was left at the corner of her lips . A few of Kiara's hair stuck there and she wanted to take them down but the sweets she was holding had blocked her hands . Browen noticed this and laughed a little which made Kiara a bit annoyed .

He raised his hand and delicately removed the hair from her lip .

" Childish girl ! " said Browen with a warm smile .

It was the first time that Kiara had ever seen Browen smile like that to her . When seeing him like that she thought that maybe he wasn't as cold as he looked or behaved . It was true that he didn't talk to her or Justin in the past but neither did he treat them bad like the other Willows so she didn't have a reason to hate him . He sometimes went along with the other children but mostly tried to avoid talking to them rather than scold or make fun of them just like the others did .

" Thank you . " said Kiara a bit unwillingly .

When she looked at Browen , she noticed a small shining light that was directed towards his head . It was really far from where they were standing. Even she felt it weird that she was able to noticed such a thing . Browen saw that Kiara was looking at the back of his head . Her eyes were concentrated there .

' It's shiny but why doesn't it seem like a normal light ?! Maybe... ' thought Kiara then after a few seconds she noticed that in fact it was a rifle .

At that moment Kiara actually could see the bullet come out of the rifle . She let the small pastries and sweets in her hand to fall on the ground and pulled Browen towards herself . This caught him a little of guard . As a result, he didn't maintain his balance and fell upon Kiara .

" Browen , what are you doing ?! Get off ! " said Kiara .

" You were the one who pulled me Kiara ! " said Browen .

The bullet that was directed at him hit the golden decoration and ruined it .

" See ?! You should thank me for pulling you or you would have been dead by now ! " said Kiara pointing at the golden decoration that was destroyed .

Browen understood that this was an assassination attempt cause the bullets weren't stoping . He hurried to get up first and then helped Kiara to get up too . He took her hand and started to run carefully since the shoots continued .

" My poor sweets and pastries ! " said Kiara in a sad tone while looking back and seeing that they were left on the ground .

" Unbelievable ! Try to save yourself first Kiara and then we can think about pastries later . Now we have to save ourselves . " said Browen running .

He watched around with hope to find a guard but there was no one . It was deserted and this was really weird since every part of the palace was filled with guards .

' Could this be a plan of assassination from the start ?! ' thought Browen who remembered that even before he met Kiara the place was unusually quiet .

' The are continuing to shoot and there's still no trace of the guards . What are they here for ?! Why do they want to kill us ?! ' thought Browen .

'' Browen , lower your head ! '' said Kiara and thanks to her reminder Browen was able to escape another bullet .

They ran for a bit more until they were able to find a place where to hide .

'' Search for them ! '' said one of the men that were following them . These men had their face covered by a black mask and on their waist, they had a belt that was full of bullets .

'' Judging by the large number of bullets that each of them carries , they must be determined to kill you ! '' said Kiara looking at Browen .

' Kiara is right ! They won't stop but I wonder who's really the one they want to kill between us two? ' thought Browen looking at Kiara who was watching the assassins .

'' We need to a way to ask help . It's clear that we can't win against them . '' said Browen .

'' I know but I am sure you have already realized that there aren't any guards around . Even if we find someone to ask for help , that person would probably be on their side . With all this noise someone should have come by now but no one is showing up . It's all planed so we need to save ourselves . '' said Kiara and Browen nodded cause he had the same opinion .

Browen started to look around and try to come up with an idea to escape but it was useless without a fight with them .

" I don't really want to admit this but .....if we want to escape safely the only way is to collaborate . What do you say ? " asked Browen with a serious look .

Kiara looked at him and unwillingly nodded her head in agreement . She knew very well that alone she didn't stand a chance against them but if both of them cooperated then maybe they could win against them .

' If Justin was here , it would be much easier . Next time I am not leaving anywhere without him ! ' thought Kiara .

" What are you worried about ? " asked Browen , noticing her worried expression .

" Can you manage to catch up my rhythm ? " asked Kiara with a serious expression .

" Are you saying that I am slow ? " asked Browen a bit angry .

" Don't look at me like that ! I am being serious here ! It's not the time to pick a fight . " said Kiara .

" You started first ! " said Browen .

" I asked you because if we want to win we can only use our fists for the moment since we don't have any weapons we can use . If we are synchronized then we can avoid the bullets and beat then . " said Kiara which made Browen think .

" I need to see how you fight to determine your level and rhythm . After seeing you fight it will be easier for me to understand what kind of backing is needed . " said Browen with a serious expression .

" I heard rumors about your unique ability to be able to understand a person's fighting skills and weak points just by watching them but I never believed it Browen . " said Kiara with a smirk .

" Well you will find out if it's just a rumor as soon as you start fighting Kiara . " said Browen with a smirk .
