The sound of the door crashing open startled the guards. Ma mére, the head maid, stood in the doorway, her face slapped by confusion

"The children are gone!" she cried. "They have escaped!"

The guards looked at each other, fear and panic in their eyes

"How could they have escaped?" one of them asked. "We had them under lock and key!"

"It doesn't matter how they did it," Ma mére snapped. "We have to find them before they get lost completely!"

The guards scrambled to their feet, grabbing their weapons and rushing out of the room

Ma mére stood in the middle of the room, seething with fear

"I sensed it, I felt it in my bones, I just didn't do anything about it ," she muttered to herself. "They were always up to something, always planning their escape . And now they have gone, haven't they? They take over their mother indeed" she scoffed

But they had to take a chance, or the werewolves would catch themAs they approached the house, they noticed something odd. There were no windows, and the door was made of solid wood, with no knob or handle. It was almost as if the house didn't want anyone to enter. But they had no choice. "Do you think it's safe?" whispered JackRose shook her head, but she knew they had no other option. They both had cuts and bruises from their escape, and they were starting to feel weak with hungerThey had to find a place to rest, even if it was just for a few hoursWith a deep breath, Rose raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Yseult had taught her the names of the herbs and their uses, and Rose had been impressed by the knowledge. Yseult was so confident and sure of herself, and Rose felt in awe of her.As Yseult gathered the last of the herbs, she turned to Rose with a smile. "That's the last of the herbs for today," she said "Now, let's go back to the cottage and make some tinctures." Rose stood up and followed Yseult back to the cottage. As they walked, Yseult pointed out different plants and told Rose their usesRose listened intently, soaking up every word. When they reached the cottage, Yseult led Rose to the kitchen and set out the herbs on the table. "Now, we must prepare the tinctures," she said, taking out a mortar and pes

    Rose was wandering through a dark forest, the trees looming over her like silent sentinels. She felt lost and alone, her heart filled with a sense of dread. She was walking through the forest for what seemed like hours, when suddenly she heard a voice calling out her name "Rose," the voice said, soft and sweet, like a mother's lullaby. "Rose, where are you?" Rose stopped, looking around in the darkness. "Mother?" she called out. "Is that you?"The voice continued to call to her, leading her deeper and deeper into the forest. She stumbled over roots and rocks, her feet growing heavy with fatigue. But still, she pressed on, drawn to the voice like a moth to a flame Finally, she saw a light shining through the trees, like a beacon in the night. She ran towards it, her heart racing with hope She burst into a clearing, and there she saw her mother, standing in the moonlight. She was as beautiful as Rose remembered her, with her long, flowing hair and her gentle smile."Mother," Rose b

    The candle wax melted away slowly, Rose sat up with the sheets over her legs. Her skin oozed sweat, her brows furrowed. She felt Yseult's cold arm on her arm, she knew she couldn't keep the nightmares anymore to herself, even though she felt terrified. She peered into Yseult little eyes, and began "I was in a dark and empty room," Rose began, her voice shaking slightly. "It was cold, and I was alone. I could hear the wind howling outside, and I could feel the chill seeping in through the walls. I was so afraid, and I didn't know where I was or how I had gotten there. All I knew was that I was trapped, and I couldn't escape." She paused, taking a deep breath. "Then, I heard a noise. It was the sound of footsteps, coming closer and closer to me. I was terrified, not knowing what was coming.""What happened next?" Yseult asked, her voice low and soothing. "A shadow appeared in the doorway," Rose continued. "It was dark and without figure, but I knew it was something terrible. I wanted

    She let the cool breeze play with her dark, messy hair. She stopped writing in the logbook for a moment. This breeze was just like the one in her dreams, the same playful nature only that in her dreams, it would take her afar off in the woods to see dead wolves, with their bodies marked by claws and teeth. She would hear a voice calling out for help. The closer she got, the farther it went, coming from all directions. In that confusion, a large wolf hand as cold as death with unusually sharp claws would grab her shoulder from behind. What it looked like or who it was, she didn't know. Each time she attempted to turn around, she would find herself awake. Whatever the dream meant was still unclear to her. Just then, a cold sensation filled her shoulder, it was an arm"Ahh!" Rose let out a frightened scream and fell to the ground. She was a dark haired girl with fair skin and an oval face"Rose? Are you okay?" Tracey, her chubby blonde friend rushed to pick her from the floor"Yeah
