CHAPTER 8

Third person's pov (dairy)

Heavy winds were blowing into the grand bedroom through the massive windows which captured the view of the void night sky, the royal sheer curtains which were covering the windows rose high touching the designer ceramic vase causing it to fall to the ground and break into tiny pieces which scattered on the ground

The sharp high pitched sound woke the little girl up who was sleeping on the round princess bed, she sat up and fluttered open her sleepy eyes looking around the dark room which was dimly lit by the shimmering moon light peaking from the windows, she fearfully stared at the broken vase pieces on the ground

She carefully placed her bare foot on the cold ground, getting down the bed, she took slow steps towards the grand window wrapping her tiny fingers around the rods feeling its coldness numb the skin of her palm, she shivered from the chill breeze directly hitting her skin

She glanced down at the large back yard of the castle, the small bushes were moving along the direction of the blowing winds just then she noticed a female figure in the dimly lit yard, she could see her long black strands that were reaching her hips since her side was facing the window, though she did not see her face clearly, the little one could recognize her mother from a far, a smile of relief adored her lips looking at her mother

But that smile didn't last long when she saw a tall dark figure taking dangerously slow steps towards her mother, she couldn't recognize him as he was wearing a long black coat and was holding a long sharp sword in his hands which shone due to the reflection of the moonlight, she noticed her mother fearfully taking backward steps shaking her head as no

Fear gripped the little girl's heart as her hold on the cold rod tightened, her mother turned around to sprint away in order to save her life, just then the tall figure swiftly lifted his sword up and with a great force he attacked on her

ARA's pov

"EOMMA" I screamed sitting up and burning my face In my palms, I could feel my cheeks wet which were soaked by the uncontrollable streem of tears

Again I was haunted by the nightmares of that night which made me fear sleep.
That one night.. which is the cause of my nightmares, I was the witness of the crime and the moon was the witness of my sorrow, the sin had happened right infront of my eyes, yet I was helpless

I wiped my wet cheeks looking around the brightly lit room, I was able to pass another dark night and see the morning sun shining in the Blissfull blue sky, I got down the bed to open the entrance door and take in the pleasant morning breeze

As I was about to step out I found a piece of paper laying on the ground underneath a small rock, I frowned wondering what it might be, bending down I took the paper in my hands and read it out

Sorry for the damage of your painting,
Here is the new one, I hope you like it

I wandered my eyes around the place and found a huge canvas leaned against the wall covered in a silk cloth I walked towards it and carefully picked it up from the ground, I looked around to see if someone who placed it here was there but there was no trace of anyone, i walked back into the house locking the door behind me and gently placing the canvas on the wooden table

I wondered how he painted me without even seeing me once, I softly slid the silk cloth off the canvas hoping for the best

My eyes sparkled at the unbelievably realistic view Infront of me, I was at loss of words looking at the breathtakingly beautiful art, the perfection of the painting amazed me, I gently ran my fingers over the canvas feeling the soft strokes of paint underneath my finger tips, a euphoric smile lifted on my lips but soon dropped at the realization
