Tragedy Strikes At James's Castle - Chapter Fifty Nine

The fireplace shot flames out, causing the room to catch on fire. It didn't take long for the flames to spread through the room.

The servants were doing their choirs when this happened. The flames blocked the path to the door, leaving them trapped. With no way out, everyone began to scream out for help in hopes someone would hear them.

The others only a few rooms down heard the explosion and their cries for help. They ran down the hallway to see flames and smoke coming from the door.

Mark went to open the door when flames shot from under the door burning his hands. While rest ran down the hall to get some water to put out the flames in hopes of saving the ones that were trapped.

As the fire spread through the room, a small explosion of flames shot out towards them. They put their hands up the shield their faces from the flames.

As they moved away from the flames, another explosion sent Lady Kristi running with pain from the heat and flames.

"You're on fire!" Steve shouted to Lady Kristi.

She turned to try to put the flames out that engulfed her dress; the rest began to panic. Steve tried to help her, but the fire was too out of control. 

The tapestry and the rugs went up in flames, fast separating them from Lady Kristi that was struggling with trying to put out her dress that was now engulfed with the flames.

Lady Kristi falls to the floor from the pain of her skin on fire. Her screams were so horrible, the others couldn't do anything to save her. They had to look away from the site of her dying. After a few minutes, she stopped and laid lifeless on the floor, still on fire.

Now the room was almost completely engulfed with the fire. Realizing that no one could help them in time, they tried to keep away from the flames as long as they could. This left them trapped in the corner of the room.

Smoke and the intense heat became too much. Lady Ann, Flo, and Steve all struggled to breathe as the smoke-filled their lungs.

One by one, they all collapsed to the floor and laid lifeless on the floor.

The flames were finally put out, and the rest was able to finally get to them. Sara bent down to check them to see if they were still alive. She checked each of them only to confirm that they all died. She noticed a pile of ash near the main part of the fire. As she looked closer, she realized it was what was left of Lady Kristi when she saw her ring.

They were buried beside each other in a small graveyard not far from the castle. They engraved their stones with their names. Lady Kristi, Flo, Steve, and Lady Ann.

Everyone attended their burial. To pay their respects.
