The knights protecting her stood still, looking at her with wide eyes. She smiled at them even though her smile was beautiful but that still could not ease them at all. Seeing their uneasiness, she said.
“Don’t worry he can’t harm anyone that I don’t want to harm”
She started walking towards the plant while knights kept the circle around her even though those twenty knights are being killed like mosquitoes on her command yet they cannot leave her like that. Agnes chuckled at their actions but did not say anything as she sat down and started to dig the plant out.
Knights furrowed their eyebrows; she came to the forest for a wild plant but why? One of the knights looked back, whoever is killing their enemies is not even allowing them to step a foot near Agnes. He kept looking, and suddenly he stepped back.
He got a glimpse of a man seven ft tall, with his back towards them. He had a scythe and was wearing black clothes from top to bottom, he could see his blonde hair. The man suddenly turned making the knight widened his eyes, the man was wearing a ‘joker’ mask while blood dripped from inside the mask as if the man was eating flesh. The man titled his head seeing the knight, as he got a hold of another man, the man took his scythe as he started to cut the man slowly.
The knight’s eyes widened; this man is so strong that even vampires like the knight could not get out of his hold. His stomach started to churn as he saw blood dripping from the hand of the man who was being cut. ‘Joker’ masked man did not kill him, no he started to cut man’s body part without cutting the man.
The knight face whitened as he stumbled back making his comrades look at him. They looked at the direction he was looking but just nothing, nothing at all. All of their enemies are now dead, what is he looking at.
“Mark, hey you okay?”
One of his comrades asked but he could not take his eyes off what he was seeing, he was stupefied with fear and could not move. They shook him but got no response, even though they are scared shitless but they are knights as well; they know how to control their emotions, so what is Mark seeing to make him like that.
Agnes stood up with plant in her hand as she finally looked at what was happening. She looked at Mark and saw in the direction he was looking; she sighed and shook her head as she commanded.
“Stop”
The ‘joker’ stopped and turned towards her making Mark shiver as he finally came out of his thoughts, he looked at Agnes and then at Joker. The joker nodded a little and threw the body, He suddenly came very close to Agnes, Mark wanted to move and protect her, but he was just so fast.
Agnes looked at the scythe dripping with blood, she sighed and waved her hand. Mark shivered as he saw Joker vanishing in thin air as Jack-in-the-box toy returned in her hands. It was as if Mark finally realized what horror this toy contained.
Agnes smiled at the Mark and she started to walk away.
“Let’s go”
