It was a dark night with the soft sound of the wind outside. A candle that flickered on the nightstand was the only source of light in Leo's room.Leo was sitting at her room's little wooden desk, the silver brush she was holdingtrembling a little as she combed her hair and the shadows seemed to stretch fartherin the darkness creeping across the floor.The tension that seemed to permeate everything made the room feel oppressive. Even when Charles wasn't there she could sense his eyes because he had been observing her more lately.His eyes seemed to have turned into a heavy burden that pressed down on her every action and breath. Tonight however was different. Her plan for tonight was clear.

A recognizable voice cut through her thoughts as she was walking down the hallway. "Hi"A beat skipped through her heart. She instantly recognized the voice as sh
