Rose couldn’t understand what the men were talking. Their shadow hovering over the bed was frightening but then again she couldn’t voice out the fear she had as she didn’t want any of them to notice.“Find the girls,” ordered the first man while Isaac stepped toward the bed. Rose flinched seeing how close the man walked toward her and Josie who was peeking from the wardrobe panicked as Isaac rested his body down to the bed. Rose covered her mouth tightly, stifling her tears that began to drip from the rim of her eyes. “Hey! You all search for them. It’s a small room so they must be here hiding in the closet or the bathroom,” Isaac ordered as he pulled open the cupboard beside him in search for an item. He hummed upon noticing that there was nothing and suspected the family had came for traveling. Perhaps they have just arrived in the town and had at once struck a bad luck by being kind to the disguised lost travelers who are them.Isaac also wondered why he smelled of something od
Rose understood her sister’s words well as she quickly laid down again on the floor. They then whispered to each other while Rose kept her eyes peeled around her to make sure there were none of those men getting closer to them. She whispered, “What should we do now, Josie?” Josephine looked in a bind as she pursed her lips. The elder girl didn’t have much idea on what she should do either to release herself from the handcuffs chaining her or her sister. Under these men’s gaze was even more difficult knowing how they are all much bigger and more powerful than them. “I.. don’t know,” whispered Josephine as tears begin to drip from her eyes when she realized that maybe she would never ever come home. She couldn’t see herself as someone smart enough to find a solution of their current situation. She couldn’t see herself escaping from the cage without being caught. Rose reached out her hand to her sister, holding it tightly, “It’s okay sister! I’m sure… I’m sure we can find a way to so
Rose heard the sharp yell coming from her side as Isaac pulled Josie’s hand harshly. The didn’t hold back as he gripped tightly to Josie’s wrist, not caring the fact that if he had squeezed just a tiny tighter he would crush her bone. Although scared a small hand tugged his arms, stopping him from holding her sister’s hands any tighter. The small hands belonged to Rose whose emerald eyes glared at him despite how her fingertips were shaking like a leaf. “Oh, well this one seemed to be braver,” Isaac commented, chuckling as his eyes and interest shift to Rose. Rose was startled seeing the man stood up and when his hand twist around her hair to tug them back, “How is the ritual progressing? We need to kill them together as we start the ritual.”Kalyn looked at the girls and smiled, “Everything is already on set. The only thing left is the mon. We need the full moon to start the ritual. It’s going to take us an hour and less for it to appear.” “An hour and less,” repeated Isaac as he
Kalyn extended her hand forward, her voice on top of her throat, “Extinction!” She yelled.Isaac dodged the sudden fire that bolted toward him. Jane wasn’t able to dodge and screamed in pain as his body was now scorched by the burning fire. “This woman!” Jane spat out. When he slide his hand across the room, the still statue of an angel moved on its own in such a speed that it flashed toward Kalyn, in purpose of smashing her like a watermelon. Kalyn frowned, cursing as she immediately jumped backward only for the hands of ghost children holding to her neck. If there was one weakness that Kalyn had, it wasn’t her fear of dying for this moment. She couldn’t… she couldn’t hide the children. Even if they are ghosts!The heart to kill the poor innocent souls weren’t in Kalyn’s heart. She knew they were no more than ghosts but they are still the same tormented soul that had fallen victim to Isaac’s and Jane’s hands, causing them to linger in the world. She had no choice but to pull away
Rose gently smiled. She pulled him, surprising Dominic who didn’t expect she would pull him suddenly. Her hands hung beside her as she rested her head wholly upon his broad shoulders. A smile reached from one corner of her lips to the other. “Silly Dominic. What matters now is you and me together. I always feel terrible when I thought there was a time where you were alone without me. But again I can’t help you that much,” she whispered, rethinking of how her magic would never work with her and could even be a double edged sword that could go against her.“Soon everything will be over,” promised Dominic to her while holding to the back of her head tightly. “In a week after we arrive back to Essex, I promise you that this would be the last time you would ever be in danger.” Rose wrapped her arms around Dominic who swore an oath to protect her forever and ever, feeling her heart warmed by his words. She also promised silently to release the curse that affected him. Mona watched the t
He doesn’t want to die! Not now!He didn’t manage to have Elizabeth for himself either as that woman had killed herself to protect Dominic!He knew it! He shouldn’t have only cursed Dominic but also… everyone in Agios to bind Elizabeth with him!But there was nothing left he could do now. He need to make sure for his safety to be guarded when the people from Agios come— to protect himself against Starvos!Jeremiah strode outside, marching toward his men while Shawn stood in front of the door, unnoticed by his own father. Shawn shrugged his shoulders, “So it is true that my father is scared of the people in Agios.” “You can use this chance to put seeds of fear in him,” said Isaac who had suddenly appeared beside him. But his physical body wasn’t apparent as it was only his face reflected on the window in front of Shawn. “Just tell him that Dominic will come back to the castle with so much hatred and desire to kill him. That would immediately make him shiver in fear and you can let th
Jeremiah couldn’t believe the word “Help” comes from Shawn. He was always a child who would watch as everything was ruined. Even though Shawn is his only blood related son, he was much more cold hearted even when compared to Dominic. “I know you are currently worried that Dominic had went to Agios to gather men who could work under him to take you down and I do believe he is doing so. I received this,” Shawn settled a letter in front of Jeremiah’s desk. The elder man pushed his monoglass, surprised when he read the letters that had been written by Dominic. ‘I need your help, dear grandfather.’— was one of the sentence written in the letter. “Who was this letter sent to?!” Demanded Jeremiah. “It is the letter that Dominic had written for his grandfather, I believe… his mother’s parents,” Shawn uttered. His voice slowly turning enchanting which succumbed Jeremiah into deeper fear. In the darkness, only Shawn’s purple eyes glowed for a split of a second until he returned his eyes i
Rose watched as Dominic leave, feeling a missing sense on her arms as Dominic’s hand had tightly hugged her earlier. She was then left with Starvos who then said, “He’s ambitious. Reminds me when I was younger.” Rose looked at him and chuckled, “I would say you two do have a lot of similarities.”“Oh really do we?” Starvos were amused by her words. “What part of us are similar?” “The fact that you always banter to each other despite liking each other’s company. That you two are stubborn for the right thing and even though you always appear detached, you care deeply for people close to you,” Rose explained, startling Starvos who puckered his lips.“Geez, being read like a book isn’t fun. You’re embarrassing me.” “See? You two are similar,” she repeated. “Alright alright, say that we are. I’m also surprised how some of his thoughts matched mine. I almost imagined that if Elizabeth did marry me, he would be my son,” Starvos blurted his words only to stay silent after saying it, appa
