Dominic rushed forward, wanting to snatch that bastard of a brother he had and kill him here and there. At first he thought there would be a way to resolve everything without having to kill Shawn but he changed his mind. Shawn needed to be killed. He was the whole danger in this matter, even worse when compared to his father. Shawn managed to leave by a hair’s breadth, disappearing from the place with his gargoyles. Angrily, Dominic smashed the nearby table. He was mad by the fact he had lost consciousness in the middle of the chaos and had left Rose alone to fend for herself. He was also filled with rage with the idea that dangers still wouldn’t stop anytime soon. He immediately turned around, finding Rose who looked frozen in her place. Not knowing what had made her so shocked, he gently paced toward her. His big hands covered her small back and his eyes were filled with warmth as he stared at her, “Are you alright?” Rose finally snapped from her own thoughts. She turned her
Rose felt her mother’s embrace and tightly hugged her back. She who had been holding her tears finally felt the water slyly escaping from her green eyes. She held her mother’s hands, making sure that she was alright as well. Mr Maury felt so relieved his legs almost gave away. Seeing Dominic, the man smiled and rested his hand on his shoulder, “Thank heaven you are save too. We, the elders, would never die at peace if any one of you leave this world before us.” “Oh dear! Don’t jinx us!” Mrs. Maury snapped at once. Dominic felt the hand on his shoulders to be warmth, something he didn’t expected. He didn’t expected to see anyone rejoicing of his safety other than Rose’s.“How did you acquire the pike, mother?” Rose asked for her mother to frown. “You know that big handsome knight? The one with silver eyes—”“Starvos,” Rose said which her mother confirmed by nodding her head eagerly. “Where is he now?” “He said that he needed to find you two and left but that’s all that we know. Af
Rose felt her heart thump. The name on the paper was… Hannah Maury. A name that she wasn’t familiar with but know. After all… that family name belonged to her own family. Rose turn her fingers into a fist and stared at the maid with her eyes fierce, “Who is Hannah Maury?” “Someone from your family for sure. There are indeed other Maury Family but she is indeed from the same bloodline as yours,” the maid then smiled as if she had found something funny. “It’s odd isn’t it? For the world to be so small to the point that you could fall in love with someone whom your own family member had harmed.” Rose felt her heart growing heavier to the point where she wanted to rip it out from her chest with how painful it is. She gritted her teeth, her tears burning her eyes. “You,” she scowled at the maid, “You are lying to me.” The maid felt a sudden zap on her hand and flinched as she lifted her hand and found a large wound across her wrist. The wound didn’t suddenly appear but came from Rose u
Mona looked at her as though she was rendering her words. A part of her tried to deny what she heard, believing that she was only hallucinating. But she knew she didn’t heard it wrong. She knew it was the name of Rose’s family’s.“Do you know her?” Mona quickly asked, wondering if this person was someone Rose are well acquainted with only to see the girl shaking her head. “I think we should ask your parents.” Rose nodded her head. She felt as though a part of her body had been taken away from her, making her to lose hope. To know the person cursing Dominic was someone from her family made her heart wrenched. At the same time, to know the person had died and they have no other choice but to accept the fact the Fallen’s curse on him was incurable hurt her. She looked back at Mona who then let out a yelp. Turning to see him, she was surprised to see that there was blood coming down from Mona’s ankle, “Are you alright?” Rose quickly stood up, putting magic that would lessen her pain an
After bandaging Mona’s legs, they both decide to find Mr and Mrs Maury, finding them as they were looking around the kitchen, still trying to find people they could aid. To their surprise upon seeing Rose, Mrs Maury almost I jumped from the place she sat down. She looked at her daughter, “Oh darling I’m glad that Miss Mona is also save.” “Mama,” Rose called up for Mrs Maury to smile in a question. Rose gathered her courage and look at her father, “Papa, do you know anyone who is called as Hannah Maury?” Mr. Maury who was holding to a plate immediately dropped what he was holding, looking shocked and speechless that she had asked for the one person he swore his family would never have to know. Mrs. Maury also looked surprised and they both stared at each other, feeling the want to keep silent but couldn’t as they fear they would lose their daughter’s trust on them. “Is it someone from your family, papa?” Rose asked again, hoping that by urging her parents gently they would answer
Mrs Maury stared at Mona in amazement, “So there is someone who can actually read a person’s life.” “Right?” Mr Maury agreed in surprised. Rose who wondered if she could meet her grandmother Jane as soon as possible and to ask the woman about Hannah Maury’s lifted her face to her mother, “You know about someone who could read a person’s life?” Mrs Maury nodded her head quickly, “Yes. Actually it has something to do with your grandmother Hannah. She would always warn people around her of danger that would soon occur to them.” “Right and when I ask my father, your grandfather, he told me that she had always had the innate talent of reading a person’s life, in this case predicting her future.” Rose didn’t need to ask further question to find out that the woman had indeed use magic to find out about the future that would happen to the people around her… if she was able to put the curse on Dominic, then it was also safer to conclude that she is someone so powerful even amongst the oth
Rose didn’t know if she should say yes. As she had seen by her own eyes how Shawn hesitated the moment she brought up the truth of how Dominic had never really hated him. In fact, Dominic wanted to treat him like his own younger brother. But at the same time, it was true that what’s drove Shawn to hurt Dominic was his hatred and jealousy. He hated how everyone had chosen Dominic except him and how he lived like a doll who always have to obey his mother’s words and orders. Starvos looked at Dominic and gave the younger man a pat on his shoulders, “But our enemy isn’t only him, right? There’s the other sorcerer too who is as strong as him or even stronger.” “His name is Isaac, Mona told me that she knows about him as he had formed an extremely powerful contract with a strong Demon,” explained Rose to which Dominic tilted her head at. “So hypothetically, if I do form a contract with a demon, I would gain a power that would be extremely powerful that could help me in all my need?” Dom
The Fallens didn’t budge but deeply gaze at her. Their expression was frightening as no one could ever make sure of what emotions are hiding behind the horrifying purple eyes that appeared from the dark glob of darkness. Rose asked for them to talk face to face but she wasn’t sure if the Fallens could speak. However, she was certain that the creature could understand her as the Fallens aren’t essentially a curse but a creature that had been summoned for a curse. The Fallens slowly left Dominic’s side for a while. The dark glob moved across the floor, like a sort of liquid that stick together without touching its surrounding or leaving a dark trace.It then climbed over the chair in front of her as it slowly extended its body where the disgusting fluid-like consistency changed into dark long fingers. The creature then continued on morphing it body. In a horrifying way it started forming its arms before its legs. The entire change took less than a minute. It happened too fast for Ros
