Happy Friday everyone! So, last week I put the first two chapters of Stroke of Midnight on Wattpad and today I just uploaded the last three! I had a good time writing this little short story and I hope you enjoy reading it. :)
Aidan was up at the crack of dawn and already had breakfast
halfway finished by the time Sara came to help him finish.
“You shouldn’t be up so early,” she chastised as she
entered the kitchen and got to work finishing the food.
Aidan shrugged, wiping his hands on his breeches. They
had another stain on them and his boots needed to be mended again. “I don’t
mind. You should be able to sleep.”
Sara shook her head. “Go care for the horses. I’ll
finish up the meal.”
“Alright,” was all he said. Before he left though, he
pecked her on the cheek affectionately which brought a smile to her lips. Aidan
grinned back, and she wagged a finger at him. “You’re too good of a boy Aidan.
One of these days your goodness is going to get you into trouble.”
He shrugged on his way out. “I’d rather that than my
stupidity getting me into trouble.”
They both knew who he was talking about. Aidan managed
to escape the house without incident since everyone was still sleeping. He took
care of the horses and by the time he got home, he was mentally prepared for
whatever the day may bring.
But when he entered,
he wasn’t greeted by the usual quiet tension and snide remarks coming from the
dining room. No. Desperate shouts and the sounds of groans and growls radiated
down the hall to Aidan’s ears.
