The night's sky was very picturesque. The large moon filled the clear sky with its luminous light. Behind the moon were colorful twinkling stars that provided the perfect backdrop. The deep and soft hooting sound filled the night making it calm. The night was tremendously perfect. But the air was still and tension soon filled the surrounding. Throughout a small village, the lighting was bright. The laughter of young children could be heard throughout the distance. The playing of music filled the night. The villagers danced happily celebrating the return of their loved ones. While others wept and moan the loss of a close relative or family member."Daddy! Daddy!"A slender joyous girl approached a man who seemed to be in his fifties. Her eyes brightened when the man stooped down opening his arms for her. She quickened her pace opening her arms widely to hug the man. A broad smile formed on his lips but they didn't quite reach his eyes as he admired her features as if se

The clauses household was completely silent. Aurora stared at the sealing that night unable to sleep. She thought pensively about what her grandmother had said earlier. None of it didn't make much sense. But the thought of her grandmother slaughtering an innocent animal made her sick to her stomach.  She took what the woman said into deep consideration. But even the thought of seeing a deadly half beast and half human sounded hilarious. But her grandmother was dead serious about training the two girls. However Violet was fragile and sensitive. She wasn't the perfect match for the task. Aurora on the other hand was rough and lacked the necessities of a female. Over the years she was bent and groomed into the cold-hearted monster her grandmother wanted. They planned to turn her into a killing machine. But unlike them, she was smart and intelligent. She knew they were up to no good.  She had the techni

Aurora released a breath she was holding when the boy departed. She felt at ease when the sound of his carriage faded until there was complete silence.She picked up the crumpled flower from the countertop and stashed it into her apron pocket. Her employer was a stingy man and he would happily deduct the cost of a single flower from her wages.  She looked around frantically for him but the man was strangely out of sight. She continued to work by fertilizing and pruning the flowers garden. It was a lot of work for a female but Aurora knew the only reason she got the job was that no male would want to work in a low-ranking job. And the man paid a very low wage. The girl could hardly pay for her mother's medication and provide food at the same time. But she had to do what she thought was necessary. She wiped the beads of sweat that formed on her forehead with her handkerchief.She plastered a fake smile across her lips when the bell dangled s

Aurora felt bad for raising her voice but she could not bear to hear her mother blame herself for their current living situation when she knew her father was fully responsible for the struggles they endured. She was angry at the man for walking out of their lives even though she wasn't aware of the reason behind his doings. But her mother was a loving and caring mother and wife, she didn't deserve the treatment in which she received from the man. In Aurora's eyes, the man was a superficial ungrateful, and selfish person.  It pricked her heart to know Ella wouldn't be around long enough to see her succeed. She looked down at her frail figure and her blue depts welled with tears. Her once vibrant eyes were distant and her sun-kissed skin was as pale as a ghost. Her jet black silky hair was grey and her lips were dried and stripping. She was beyond recognition. She tucked Ella into bed after giving her the final dose of the medication. Ell

Her eyes never closed that night she kept them glued to the ceiling. The following morning she felt as if they didn't belong to her. They were swollen and dark circles were outlined underneath. But her eyes were the least of her problems. Her mood was down, she was no longer vibrant or happy. She fought hard to get out of bed. She felt like someone stabbed her multiple times with a bread knife in her stomach. She was famished and her stomach felt like it was infested with tiny insects."Aurora!" Came her mother's weak voice. "There is a package outside for you darling."Her sluggish eyes grew wider and anger invaded her body. She Sprang off the bed and rushed to the other room where her mother and sister awaited her presence. But her headache intensified and she slumped to the floor holding her throbbing head."Aurora!" Ella ran to aid her sick daughter. Her blue orbs welled with tears when she noticed how exhausted Aurora looked. She was overwhelmed by guilt an
