Acine stormed inside her room fuming with anger, she pulled the tablecloth making all the dishes and utensils spill and scatter to the ground. She was breathing loudly as her nose flare up, the maids stood several meters away from her praying for their throats to be spared. With the way she was looking at the moment they could only gulp down, she could do anything in that state. No! she always do whatever she wanted in any state, it's just that this type of her was way too scarier. "Please calm down my lady" said Adolf, her new knight. She turned to him and shot him a glare "Calm down? You heard what she just called me? No! Actually have heard what she just told me? She made a fool out of me in front of these lowly maids!" she said pointing at the maids.
Adolf held her hand and made her sit down, he couldn't believe that she was actually worrying about that when there was a more important matter to look for now, women could be a headache. "I understand my lady, we've truly underestimated her" his expression less face lowered to the floor saying this, but what she said only angered her even more. "Come here you two!" she yelled at the maids, the two poor girls fell to the floor in great shock, trembling as they looked at her, their faces were so pale all of a sudden. She glared at them recalling what Audrey's words 'Tell the hyena her secrets are always safe with me' the sentence echoed in her mind over and over again driving crazy. "Was that supposed to be a threat? Is she threatening...me?" she laughed evily raising her hand up, a fork flew from the floor and went to settle on her hand. The maids gasped seeing their end before their own eyes, "Ppp...please forgive us my lady!" "Please don't kill us!" they pleaded for their lives which was now hanging on a thin line. "Forgive? but you haven't wronged me" she said said like a psycho, titling her head to the side. With just a bat if an eye she slit on the maid's throat with the fork she had, blood gushed out and trailed down staining her hand. The other maid staggered back, eyes widening so hard as she looked at her fellow maid whimpering on the floor. She sat on her knees rubbing both of her hands, begging her merciless lady.
Acine laughed sarcastically, the whole room thundered with her voice. Suddenly she stopped and pulled the maid by her chin, "Okay, i forgive you, now....get lost" she said and started to walk back to her seat, the poor maid thought she was the most luckiest person in the world to survive death before her eyes, she hurriedly got up from the floor and ran to the door, wasting no time. However, before she could touch the door knob.....Acine threw the fork and went to stab the back if her head, blood sipped out in speed. She fell down bumping her head to the floor head first like a brick, causing the fork to go further in and died instantly. "I told you, you haven't wronged me but you kept begging for it, poor souls" she took out her handkerchief and wiped the blood on her hands.
Adolf on the other hand had a calm expression as if what took place wasn't a bid deal at all to him, as if it was a normal sight for him to see. "What's the use of killing the maids, you might get us into troubles someday and ruin master's plans someday" he said unimpressed by her actions. "Blood you stupid! we need even more blood so that the spell could keep working and become stronger" she retorted, snarling at him. "Killing the maids everyday would only rise a suspicion!" he raised his voice making her glare at him. "Don't you dare tell me what to do! You better know your place Adolf!" she shouted at him "Clean this mess up! and that is your place if i have to remind you!" she dropped down the handkerchief and strode to the washroom, the filthy and sickening lowly blood in her room was suffocating her to the core, she entered and slammed the door behind her.
Adolf stared at the closed doors for a while, he he didn't like the fact that lady Acine was forgetting the reason why she was here. It should've been her sister but then their second master blindly chose her, he made a wrong decision because his daughter was blinded with some stupid love emotions. "I need to report this to master, we can't afford any risk this time around as well" he said looking down at the two lifeless bodies of the maids that were on a pool of blood. He shook his head disgusted by the smell of it as well and to think he has to be the one moving them out and clead everything.
It was at night, at a certain village of Ximpton. A teenage girl was running around the streets of the village, her skinny body was making it even more easier for her to jump around freely. "Slow down Ree, you might fall" said a woman who was lightening a lamp outside her house. The girl Ree stooped facing the lady "Mrs Zones, come on I'm not a little girl anymore" she replied playfully. Mrs Zones laughed thinking why she was running if she wasn't anymore. "Oh my Ree, your age could be adding up but your mischievousness is still there, running around at these hours? Hurry home now young lady, it's not safe out here" she warned the girl, there were several cases of missing people, who are then found dead in the forest the next day or two. Mrs Zones was merely worried for her as a mother even though she was a grown up. "Fine granny Zones! stop nagging me already, bye!" she said and stuck out her tongue at the woman mockingly. Mrs Zones just chuckled shaking her head, the girl was mischievous and adorable at the same time, almost everyone dotes on her in the village. "Careful back home!" said Mrs Zones seeing her dissappearing back, Ree didn't turn and only waved before continuing to run.
Since it was night time, not so many people were outside. Only the lightening of the lamps decorated the houses like stars, she looked down at the bottle on her hand. She was sent to buy some oil by her mother since their lamp was dry, her soft heart made her late, she helped a pregnant woman back to her home. When she lifted her head up, her soul almost escaped her body through her wide opened eyes. her heart hammered. A man in a black clock was standing right before her, she wondered when he got that near her because she didn't even hear a sound. She gulped and walked past the man warily trying to ignore him, but the man strode and stood before her again. Ree creased her eyes looking up at him, fear started to penetrate her, the man had a mask on and she was only able to see his dark eyes.
"Wh...who are you? What do you want?" she mastered her courage and asked even though her voice gave away, her hands were gripping the bottle. The man inched forward making her take a step back, "Can you please come and help me with something?" he uttered, his voice was so soft compared to his looks. Ree ciuld swear to almost wanting to believe him but then her brain denied to register his sentence. "No sorry, i have to go back home" she said and walked oast him again, she didn't dare to look back but she could hear the steps of the man behind her, her heart was thumping and her legs pleaded her to just ran away since it was what she was good at. Without waiting for a bell to ring she started to run, so fast but the man kept following her, she fell down when the man suddenly appeared before her, she yelped. "You, should've come willingly but you seem to prefer a chase, stupid being" he moved and caught her by her neck, Ree was choking and struggling to free herself or at least reach for the mask and see who it was. The man knocked her out, he then scooped her up swiftly im his arms before vanishing, the only thing left behind was her coins which were a change and the bottle of oil. The masked man brought her to another person who was also wearing a mask ans same outfits as him, Unconscious Ree was placed down to the ground, the night became even more darker within the forest, with the voices of crickets, moving dried leaves from the howling wind, the burning logs from the fire before them.
The man who kidnapped her took out a black dagger and chanted some words, soon the fire before them was getting bigger like a bonfire, he placed the dagger on her throat and slit it the next second. The other person took out pieces of black and red clothes and soaked them with the blood thay was flowing out the little girl's open throat. Chanting some more weird words, her voice became louder by a second, she got up walking to the fire and threw the pieces of the clothes in it. The fire raged up, screames rang from the fire. She then brought her own hand forward and cut her palm, a hiss escaped her mouth and like before she soeaked her blood with pieces of clothes before throwing them in the fire. The fire raged even more as she keot chanting, as well as the continuous screams of agony. A sudden wind holwed and her clock fell back, exposing her face. Acine had a smirk on her face. "You will come to me tonight, my love" she threw her head back laughing loudly.
