Blackhearts

Chapter 3: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Silence peers through the room as those words echo. Alice stares into Myelin's eyes. Not knowing to believe her or not.

"Sister?" Zeke and Samuel said in confusion, "Alice never spoke of family."

"Yes...its true." Alice began slowly, "We are sisters but we were separated at a young age." "I only found out she was my sister, when we fought each other." "I was protecting Michelle at the time."

Myelin smirks as she gets to her feet. "Why don't you tell Zeke what happened that night?" "Sure he'll be glad to hear it."

A sigh of disgrace leaves her lips. At first she couldn't muster up the words to say. "We wanted to catch someone in the act." "We snuck into the embassy." "It was a lost cause...we were ambushed." "The attack was led by a hooded man." "His eyes were blue and he gave off an ominous feeling."

Her story started to seem to break her. "Along side him was Myelin, Cedric, Garth and Venus." Her voice trailed, "Samuel was the watcher to let me know if we get surrounded." "I heard the signal...i rushed outside." You can tell she was in fear of mentioning this. "It wasn't Samuel." "It was Stratus." "She lured me into a trap and locked your sister in."

Zeke continued to listen as Alice was in tears. "I heard a scream then a slash." "Samuel managed to pick the lock." "There stood Myelin, Cedric, Garth, Venus, Stratus and the hooded man surrounding her body." "She was critically injured..there was no way to survive any longer." "Samuel hadn't perfected his elixer yet." "Me and Samuel rushed in to save her." "The hooded man turned and faced us."

Her voice grew colder and even more afraid. Samuel placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "He didn't seem human." "He didn't even give off an arcana aura." "Him standing there I truly felt fear for the first time." "I tried to fling spells and strong runes to knock them off." "Samuel even tried to shoot him..." She couldn't maintain herself much more,

"You don't need to say anymore." Zeke says calmly, "I don't want you to feel pained and afraid to tell me."

"I'll tell you the rest." Myelin speaks briefly,

"Please don't...say." Alice was truly afraid, "This feels too horrific to tell."

"You should have mentioned it was a blood moon." said Myelin, "Key details are always a factor." "I can Tell him what's so special about the Blood Moon." "And also Why you fear the hooded man."

"Leave her alone." Zeke said sternly, "Can't you see the harm she is going through?"

"Don't you wanna know why your sister died?" Myelin faking concern, "By all means it was far bigger then just her being sacrificed."

Zeke's hand shakes in frustration. Samuel attempts to calm him down. Alice still shaken up is now on her knees crying.

"Please I beg you." She was begging, "I live with the regret everyday." "I did what anyone would've done for their kid." "I'm not a monster." "I had to save my daughter."

Alice was shaking and the air got very drafty. Slowly they hear footsteps. It was two people male and female.

"Ah you made it, Garth and Venus." said Myelin, "Unfortunately we lost Cedric."

Garth was about 6 foot tall and very built. He was a lot tougher looking then Cedric. He had a shaved head and a stumble on his face. He also has brown eyes. A scar over his left eye and a katana on his side. He wore a black suit of armor from torso to his feet.

Venus was about 3 inches shorter then Garth. Long legs and thick thighs. She was curvy from head to toe. A perfect body in a logical sense. Long brunette hair in a French braid ponytail with her bangs parted over her right eye. Her eyes were green and she had a twin blade on her waist that folds into a small firm. They look very dangerous.
