A Twist of History

Chapter 4: The Blood Moon Ball

Many of you women probably think that dress fitting is heaven. I beg to disagree.

You see, I hate it. It's a bad way to say hell.

Though I say I loathe the idea, nonetheless here I am. Outside a luxurious dress boutique with my brothers wives.

Pure hell dare I say.

"Stop frowning Ciara, it'll be fun." Verena enthusiastically said as she pulled me inside.

Ugh.

The look on this place reminds me of Christmas. Too bright.

"Might I remind you, third sister, that I have millions of gowns dumped in my closet. What is the need to buy more?"

Verena rolled her eyes as she pulled her into the corner the manager hurriedly approached them.

"So what if you have tons? There's always room for more, right Arabella?" Verena added as Arabella just nodded her head smiling.

"She's right. And what better way to have one tailored for the ball around the corner ain't it not?" Arabella added.

Ciara mentally groaned as she glared at the two earning a light chuckle from the Crown Princess.

"Easy now, I see no need to push her through. Verena, Arabella though you have a point, do remember that the decision falls on Ciara and not yours." Xandria smiled sweetly but strictness was visible on her tone.

A woman worthy of the Crown. That damn bastard of a brother of mine sure is lucky as hell.

"My apologies dear Xandria, though we meant no harm, It's still very necessary to provide a fitted ball gown for this auspicious occasion" Arabella sighed as she looked at Verena.

Ciara growned before mentally cursing herself.

"Fine. But just this once else I swear beyond the grave of my ancestors to rid of every existing boutique one can find." Ciara's eyes glowed darkly.

Though she knew deep down that she'll enjoy the miseries of entitled women getting a taste without boutiques and shit but she knew what she is capable of and the limitations and consequences she'll later have to face.

Yet a little scare won't hurt would it?

Xandria smiled and chuckled as the other two shivered in fear. Xandria had always been fond of Ciara the moment Cassius introduced them. She felt like she gained a sister who had the same interest as her.

"Silly girl, your brother would've wacked your head off if he were here." She teased

Ciara rolled her eyes and muttered cusses evedent to their ears.

"Enough of that, now shall we?" Arabella pulled Ciara in as Verena blabbed till her hearts content.

Ciara then and there knew that this was gonna take forever.

-

This is it. The day of the Blood Moon.

Ciara felt a cold breeze pasted her, she exhailed the scent and felt a shiver of delight.

The smell of fresh blood brought tingles to her spine.

Her eyes began to glow a bright crimson red as her fangs grew along with her sharp nails.

The smell of that blood made her crazy for a taste. The smell she never smelled before making her mad.

She paced around her room, holding back the urge to follow that tantalizing aroma.

'Fratello, I need you here with me. I can't take it. It's driving me crazy.' she whispered as she clawed her own skin.

Caspian, who was away from his sister felt shivers. Upon feeling his twin sister's distress, Caspian immediately dropped his sword and ran in nano seconds searching for his distraught sister.

'Cara Sorella, hold on. I'll be there in a minute.'

Caspian felt a cold sweat run down his head. He thought for the worst as his sister's distressed grew by the minute making him more anxious as he already was.

Caspian managed to reach Ciara's room in one piece. Panic arouse as she was no where to be found.

He search with her room and relaxed as his eyes caught her horrified ones.

Caspian grew mortified as he eyed his twin.

Blood covered her shoulders and so does her head. Her eyes bloodshot and pale. Her fangs were out and so was her claws.

Caspian went near his sister and sat beside her.

"What happened Sorella?"

Ciara stared at the scenery unfolding infront of her. She breathed as she held her brother's hand and stared into oblivion.

"I-I don't know. It just happened. The smell grew stronger by the minute. I made me crazy." She faced her brother teared eyed. "What's happening to me Caspian? This isn't me." She cried.

Caspian knew. He knew this was bound to happen the moment he saw his vision.

"Calm down Ciara, all will be well." We're the only words that left his mouth. He grew afraid of what'll happen when she finds out.

Ciara looked at her brother in betrayal. She left his embraced and stood up facing him head on.

"How could you beg to say that all will be well when in fact you knew this was bound to happen. I know you know the reason for this Caspian. I beg you, tell me."

Caspian stood up mirroring Ciara. "I mean no harm, yet I can't bring myself to say it to you. It'll wreck you. This, I swear to stay with you. I promise you that all will be well, Cara Sorella. I will not leave you."

Ciara was hesitant as she toned her shaking down breathing in sync with Caspian.

"Promise me Fratello. That no matter what happens, no matter what, don't leave me by myself. I know it's selfish, but please, I don't trust myself." Ciara beg.

Caspian pulled his sister into a hug as he telephated his brothers.

'Code Blood. The tower has crumbled.'

Almost Immediately, Caspian felt the panic throught the telepathy.

'Send your location, I'm on my way.'

'Make that two'

'What's wrong? Is she alright?'

Caspian didn't reply and instead comforted his now stabled sister.

He let her have a break as he made his way down the patio of the Castle the wolves gave them.

"Caspian." Almost immediately Cassius announced.

"Cassius. Castiel. Cyrillius."

"And Ciara?" Asked Castiel, worry lacing his tone.

"She's coping, I hope."

"Calm before the storm I say." Cyrillius joked.

Castiel glared at him.

"Now not the time for that. Our priority right now is Ciara." Cassius added. "What did you see Caspian?"

"He's here."

Cyrillius scoffed "who?"

"HE."

"What on earth are you on about?" Cyrillius groaned. "Who's here?"

"God damit Rile! Ciara's beloved is here for damned sake!" Caspian said as he was pissed at Cyrillius's denseness.

"Shit." Castiel growled.

"I'll tell the ladies to watch Ciara for the time being. Fear not for we must remain calm inorder for Ciara to cope." Cassius said.

"Cassius, I know it's selfish of me to ask but please, just for tonight, help me watch over Ciara. For I fear that her beloved is someone we could dare not touch."

"Any idea who it might be dear brother?" Castiel asked, shaken.

"I fear it is the Crown Prince."
