Tale of the Vampire Witches

Knuckles sighed as he watched his big brother, sister and his in-laws drive away after a long day of getting Julie Sue's stuff out. His brother in law even got the locks changed as well while Arrow and their sister in law cooked. Knuckles felt happy how he's got family who are helping him out as well. He stares at the boxes in his yard and hopes they get ruined by the time she gets her stuff when the storm hits. "Man... your sister and sister in law can fucking cook...." He turns seeing Shadow and Silver laying on the chairs rubbing their bellies making him chuckled. "Well they are professional chefs guys. Can even make hamburger helper gourmet." Knuckles said. "Well guys now that we got all that done I got to thinking." Shadow smiled and Knuckles knew that smile. "No shadow, No blind dates" he said. "What oh no no no not that. I was thinking we take a haunted road trip with the final destination being the Crescent sisters's house. Ya Halloween is around the corner so why not take a month trip? I know one of your publishers would like some photos for their next travel guide." Shadow said to knuckles who was a professional photographer for well respected magazines across the city. "Ok well you have a point..... they did want photos on haunted places..... even though I think it's just a bunch of nonsense." Knuckles said. "Well my job is currently on shut down due to some breakage and won't go back until January." Silver said. "And I been wanting to use my unused PTO for sometime" shadow smiled. "Sure it be nice to get away from the city for a good while." Knuckles said. "Awesome! I can't wait to see the Crescent Sisters's house!" He beamed. "Who are they anyways?" Knuckles asked. "Wait whoa you never heard the story?" Silver said and knuckles shook his head. "Shadow you do the honors" silver said and shadow nods.

299 years ago during the witch hunt era there was a village near Black Jewel bay. Villagers were frightened when they woke up to a few cattle and sheep drained of blood and chickens cut by the throat over a demonic circle. They had no idea who did this since all the villagers were accounted for. See unlike the witch trails in Salem the villagers in Black Jewel bay made the smart decision to all stayed in the village hall. When no one left and they found more dead cattle they knew this was a creature living outside of the village. Yet three other villages were experiencing the same thing so the four villages teamed up to hunt down this creature. One man named Peter, his brother and two other village men was brave enough to wonder the dark forest alone. They soon came to the known waterfall only to see it glowing blood red. At the bottom of the waterfall they saw three beautiful women bathing in the glowing water and singing a beautiful tune. This lured the men to come close wr grabbing the mysterious women's attention. They invited them to join them in the water. Yet Peter snapped out of their musical trance and so did his brother. Yet the other men fell for the charm and suddenly the women grew fangs then men screamed as they were being drained of blood. Peter and his brother ran only to find themselves caught in a magical trap. They were brought back to the women who introduced themselves as the Crescent sisters. They took Peter and his brother to their house where they would use them as a sacrifice. Yet they managed to escape and brought back the other villagers. They soon learned that not only were they witches but vampires. The sisters placed a curse on the house and left a curse saying they will return when the sacred ritual is performed on a full moon on all hallows eve and they disappear. They soon found the sisters in stone tomb caskets behind the waterfall. The tombs were sealed with the magic barrier with the curse engraved in the middle sister's tomb. The villagers were defeated but they banned all from that area. For years the house lay abandoned but never lost its shape as if by magic. Though it was rumored that the unknown victims of the sisters haunt the house to this day waiting for their tormented souls to be released.

Lightning struck outside making the three jump back and look out the window as rain poured outside. "That's is quite a story but it's just a myth." Knuckles said. "Oh no it's very real" shadow said. "Shadow come on Vampire witches that just sounds made up." Knuckles shook his head. "Well when we got we can speak it ourselves then and see then" Silver said. "Ok and you two will see it's just a myth" Knuckles smirked and gets up from his chair to get them something to drink.

Unaware how wrong he was going to be.
