Yve's POV"Come on now, Luna. We have been practicing archery for weeks! Father would be furious if he saw you not having any progress," I told Luna gently while my hands are on my hips. It has been years ever since we lived on the Northern Forest. But we cannot find peace because the people of Argania are still pursuing us. Me and my twin Luna had finally understood why were they after us. Our father, Levi made us understood our situation. And that is why here we are, practicing archery for our self defense. ''But it is really hard! My hands are still shaky. I think archery is not for me sister." Before I could even answer her back, our mother called us inside our small cottage shouting that it's time for dinner. We have no choice but to get inside or else she will be angry again.We've reached the age of seventeen and we cannot act like little girls anymore. Lady Molly who hasn't changed for the past few years also taught me different kinds of herbs and crystals that might be usefu
Blood for the Plague Prologue
''Lucia, you know how much I loved you. I won't give up on you and that child you are carrying. As long as I am alive, you don't have to worry about anything else,'' Levi carefully said to his wife to be as they lie beneath the bright moon and the shining stars witnessing their endless love. The two of them had been together for years now and Lucia was able to conceive a child last March. It was already October fourth and her belly is starting to grew even bigger than it was before. Lucia decided to hug her beloved as she got the assurance that she wanted because she knows that Levi's family doesn't accept her for their only son as they know that her family was labeled as the poorest of the poor. Her father is a lumber and her mother is a maid in the household of Lord Lewis. Having this kind of family background, surely is very shameful to those families who have it better than people like her. She is very anxious when it comes to their relationship because she knows that Levi's fam

Each day, the cottage will be filled with blueberry pie scent inviting some of the gentle animals that is with them in the woods. It seems like the owners of this property likes baking stuff like this. ''Mother, it is done! Luna and I practiced baking for you to try,'' as the little girl said this, the so called mother immediately checked upon her daughter's pastry and she was delighted by just the smell of it. "You two really take after your mother's cooking. How nice is that?'' the woman said as she took a piece of the pie and savour it with her mouth. A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she caressed both of her daughter's hair and

Molly's POV I was awaken by the sounds of a crow outside my wooden window inviting the cold breeze that is coming from the huge trees outside my cottage. The morning hasn't show itself yet but the skies are starting to emit the colour of the usual morning sky. I didn't got up early on my bed that is covered with wool fabric that kept me warm every cold evenings that passed me by. This day, I planned to gather some materials for my witchcraft that I have been practicing for many years. My bedchamber is almost filled with different crystals and dried herbs hanging on the stone walls creating a musty smell surrounding the air that I breathe inside this room. Before I decided to go out, I looked for my book of shadows and hid it under my bed to avoid Yve from finding it. I know that she usually come inside here because her smell and aura doesn't disperse even after how many hours have already passed. When I opened by bedroom's door, a dark hallway greeted me symbolising that the fami

When the soldiers are finally satisfied with the number of people they have accumulated, the man in the front started to read the message that was written on the scroll. "Greetings lovely people of Argania. I am here to announce that his highness King Natan is looking for help to cure the illness he had acquired a few days ago." Lady Molly whispered to herself some several questions. "The king is sick? was it connected to that old man sneaking on our home targeting one of the albino sister?" No one heard her voice whispering as the people that was with her listening to the soldiers are talking as well. "His sickness gets worse day by day, so if anyone would like to volunteer them selves to find the cure for the king will be rewarded handsomely," the soldier said loudly and sternly to make sure that the people heard him loud and clear. The crowd suddenly burst into a group of discussion gossiping about what just happened. The soldiers ordered the crowd to make way for they are goi

"Wake up girls, the sun is already high up in the sky" a voice that is coming from the door echoed through the room which was the cause of Yve being awake first than her sister. Before she could even open her eyes, their mother Lucia closed the door. Yve's whole consciousness is still asleep and is wanting to refuse to wake up any minute by now. But, she can't do anything but to obey her mother's order or else she'll get angry. Looking at the window just across her bed, the sun is indeed up in the sky already. Yve and Luna both overslept maybe because of exhaustion yesterday night cleaning their kitchen. Tidying up her bed, she decided to woke Luna too so that they can go downstairs together. "Luna, wake up you sleepy head. It is already late! Mother will get angry if you stay in bed longer," she patted her sister's shoulder to awake her sleeping soul. But with no luck, Luna kept her eyes closed snoring louder to annoy her twin. Seeing that Yve was being annoyed by her twin, she sm

Lady Molly finally returned and she saw the family having their bonding on the garden. They were surprised to see Lady Molly again because they were starting to worry about her after being gone for complete whole day. Lucia greeted the lady with a joy in her tone. She treated Molly like it was her own mother after many years of being together. "Lady Molly! You're finally back! We're starting to get worried about you," the twins said in unison like it was rehearsed by them but it's not. They ran towards the lady and hugged her tightly which made Molly happy deep inside her. She caressed the twin sister's cheeks and gave them the basket she's been carrying since yesterday instructing them to take it inside because she have something important to say to their parents. Both of them nodded their face before turning their backs to the lady. Once the kids had left, Molly approached the husband and wife with a solemn look on her face. "I was at the capital yesterday. The King is sick and

Yve's POVThe banging inside where I let Luna hid were bringing me a lot of pain. I wanted to let her inform our parents. Even Lady Molly, but we just can't. Due to our situation right now running like a mice being chased by a cat, attracting a lot of attention could bring us all to our dead end.I was holding the dagger behind me waiting for the guy Luna was talking about. Soon, I heard clanking of iron getting nearer. I took a deep breathe and position myself near the window.The unknown man soon made it's appearance. He was bald and had a lots of scar carved on his naked torso. He scanned the room carefully like he was looking for something. Or should I say, looking for us. Luckily, he did not turn his head from where I was standing still. He looked down again from where his friends was."There's no one in here! Are you sure you've seen the Albino girl in here?" He exclaimed.I heard no response on his questions. But before he could tilt his head towards my direction, I swiftly sli

Lady Molly's POVWhile I was carefully looking on the stamp that was on the letter, I heard fottsteps from the outside. Coud it be the people from the Capital? I immediately hid the unopened letter inside my sleeves and scanned the place that I was in. There's no one around inside my burned cottage but I can still hear tha footsteps that was coming for me. I did not let my guard down immediately because it could be someone that can cause me danger. I even walked towards the burned door that leads towards Levi's old garden. But before I could, someone grabbed me forcefully pinning me on the wall while pointing a dagger at my throat. "Where is the family that lived here?" I heard a man's voice talked with full killing intent. This kind of facade never scares me at all. And why was this unknown man looking for Levi's family? Does he know him? "Why should I tell you? I don't even know who you are," I bravely said. I heard him smirk and angrily leaned the sharpened dagger on my neck even

Third Person's POVAfter the queen had passed out from throwing a fit from earlier, she was awoken by the footsteps of someone coming from outside. She thought to herself that maybe that is her lady in waiting planning to give her a meal. She feels kind of hungry at the moment and she has no idea how many hours has she been unconscious. Sitting on her soft bed, she waits until her lady in waiting finally enters her room carrying a tray with newly cooked soup. It was obvious by the steam that was swaying into thin air. "Your Majesty" the lady in waiting called upon Queen Rilavia and then bows her head. Noticing that the Queen is approving her actions, she did not hesitate to come near her and assemble her Majesty's dinner in bed. "How long have I been unconscious? Did the King heard about this?" The Queen asked. "Answering to your Majesty, you have been unconscious for four hours already. The King had heard about your situation but did not say anything."

Queen Rilavia's POV "I need you to put this herb powder on the King's meal every now and then. Understood?" I ordered the servant that was down here in the kitchen. I was handling him a poisonous herb I was hiding inside my bed chambers. This herb can cause hallucinations after days of taking it. And soon, can cause dementia. Such a perfect thing for that idiot king right? While I was smiling by myself, I was immediately annoyed when the stupid servant that I was talking to did not even took the herb I was handling him. What is he? a statue? I snapped my finger at him with great force and there, his senses came back. This castle doesn't even have reliable servants! "Did you hear what I said?! You lousy peasant! Off with your head!" The two castle guard that was behind me heard it then dragged the man out of the kitchen. He can't help but beg for forgiveness. But no, we don't need that kind of servants in this castle of mine. If no one can do it, then I'll be

Lady Molly's POV"Just keep on running. No looking back. I know a place somewhere far from this," I said to the family that was with me. Our old cottage that we managed to live on for years is now devastatingly broken. Those evil people from the capital burned it into ashes! All of our important things are in there and we did not even have the chance to take it with us. Luckily, those people mysteriously caught some itch that was passed on to several hosts. If we did not escape there in time, I'm afraid we suffered the same fate. I bought my Book of Shadows with me because this will be useful for us and for the twins in the coming days. "My feet is aching father. Can't we rest first?" Yve said while gasping for air. Their snow white skin had been stained by dirt because of earlier but nonetheless they are okay. Levi refused Yve's wish to rest first. That is a good decision because those people might still be after us even though what happened earlier. He even enco

The twins are always upstairs playing on their own room while the three adults are doing their personal activities without uttering a single word to each other. Lucia is still quiet mad to her husband Levi but did not fail to take care of him also. She would send snacks inside his workroom at noon because that man had decided to trap his own self inside that room for days. It is also messy inside because of musty looking papers scattering on the floor. Lucia knows that her husband doesn't want her to lay a finger on any of it and just let it be.
