RaStro: Ramble of the Strongholds (On Hold)

The Evens

"Show your face now kid!" A woman with her thin cotton coat in black shouted. Roaming around in the woods as if searching for someone.

"You can't escape now!" She added.

As the thick fog decreases inside the forest. The woman waited for a chance to see the whole place just to find what she's searching for.

She heard the rustle of the grass. Then turned around to it.

"Oh, there you are." The woman sternly said. Approaching the hidden shadow behind a rotten tree.

"You can't run away anymore kid." She demanded.

As she was reaching in tense into the tree. It revealed the kid that she's mentioning before.

It was Jade, the kid.

Seeing the heiress with an empty expression again. The woman stops a certain feet away from her.

It was like the woman shivered the moment she look into the heiress empty hazel eyes.

It was like she'd be eaten if she will get even more closer to the latter.

She didn't move. No, she can't move.

She was spelled by the heiress eyes the moment she saw it.

"Who are you!? What are you doing to me!?" The woman screamed as if her life was in dangered. She can't move but she can speak.

"You! You're an evil!" She demanded. "Let me go!" She added still looking into the heiress eyes. She struggled.

"No! Don't look at me! Nooooooo!!"

As the woman screamed.

Death was her penalty.

She turned out into a glowing crystals

Small shattered crystals.

The heiress was still in daze.

Didn't even take a look of what just happened.

As she look as empty as before.

Then walked again towards to unknown direction.

She wandered around the forest in loop.

Mist starts to form again in the woods.

"Chain!" As Althea ran towards the kitchen.

The butler turned around and looked into her master's worried face.

"Good evening Master." Then she turned back from she's doing.

"Where's Jade!?" The Master squeeled.

"Vixens are there to search for her. Do not worry." Butler answered while cleaning a set of wine glass.

"I see." Master tried to calm down but you can't blame her not to worry about the lost heiress.

"Why are you worried? You don't want to take care of her right? Why the sudden change?" As the butler continued her work.

I don't know. The Master thought.

"I just don't...want Madam to...think that I'm not doing my task." As the latter tried to find reasons to lie.

The Butler just hummed in amusement still not looking to her Master. A smile formed to her lips.

"Ugh! Can we search for Jade now!? Instead of staying here and do nothing we need to help them too!" Althea angrily said. Stomping towards her Butler's work. Putting down the glass she's holding from Chain.
