Lucret ia

Rose & Rosetta

"Its not impossible"  Lady Buck had a smile on her face glaring at me with an expression that mocked. 

"But Rose is over a hundred years old my mother was twenty when she had me. Twenty!" I snapped. disbelief was most likely to be written across my face along with frustration. Lady Buck had to be lying.

"Your mother was a witch, cruel heartless and a whore. She meddled in the werewolf's affairs seduced an alfa before betraying him to a vampire. She knew the first witch who put the sun curse on the vampire and the moon on the werewolves. She manipulated them caused the wars and frauds between us. Your mother. Changed when she fell in love with a human" 

"My mother wasn't a whore" I glanced down to my feet and back up to Lady Bucks sorrow filled gaze, "She wasn't a witch she was human" I sighed deeply. She had to be.

"Your mother and her seduction caused wars, the first appearance to this village she made the head fall for her and accept her in his village"  She sighed. "Rose faked her own death, by killing the man who she planned her escape with. But that was just a lie in order to set up her little act, pretend she  sacrificed herself. A song which she had left behind was used as the song you sang and your mother ironically"

"How did she not age where did my mother go? After faking her death to leave her husband what happened" My eyes grew wide, it interested me how complicated my mothers life was. With looks she was seductive and yet still had a brain that functioned.

"She used spells and herbs to stop herself from ageing but of course time ran out for her during your birth, she spent her time traveling. She never told me of what she did in the hundred years before meeting your father, I know she had involvement with vampires and deals with monsters of the night. But by this point she was well over thousand years of life, but still glowed with youth" Lady Bucks expression was sad as she spoke the next words.

"She moved back into town, to feel normal she had grown bored of immortally and had stopped using her spells to stop her from ageing, she had become weak human almost but with the hint of magic around her. Your father met her the night of the Rose tradition. You could say it was love at first sight and with in a month they married and she was delighted to find she with child" -

"We spent days knitting and waiting for the birth of you. But that was short lived when the wolves turned up, hearing of the witches weak state and the vampire longed to end her life for the curse she had set on them. Hunted her down, masked by your aura they found your mother"

Tear fell form her cheek.

"No one knows how you survived, and how your mother managed a birth by herself, she gave life to you and died by the hand of a wolf or it could have been a vampire, you was found by your father wrapped in the fabric of her dress"

There was a long silence, it was the silence that every creek and wind stay quite just to hear the next words to be spoken.

"Your a witch. Your mother gave you her powers not just your own, she saved you to pass on her legacy!" Her pipe placed back into her mouth she gave a satisfied smile.

"I don't want it" I stood from my perched sitting and strolled to the cabin door in a hissy. This isn't an answer this was all madness.

Insanity.

I was dizzy, my head feeling like i was spinning the sickly feeling in my gut made me grasp the door and breath slowly.

"Sit your powers are just developing. You shouldn't be moving so much"

"Shut Up" I yanked the door open and slammed it behind me, talking large paces though the muddy trail floor back to the village. My feet cold and achy, my skin prickled with the cold air.

I could smell smoke, probably burning in the village, I could hear the mumbles and some cries from the children who now had gotten out the cellar in the bar.

Need to collect my necklace before Isaac find out and yell at me, though that wasn't the problem here. I was a witch and I'd caused such a mess fighting the wolves, using magic.. magic..

I hated by the village for being a witch and murdering my own mother. Was I really that bad, I've tried so hard to fit in, do I even have a place? Now I know I'm a real freak show.

I'm not even human. Will I be a whore like my mother, will I ever know love? Will Vampires come and drink me dry so no blood runs though my veins?

No.

I'm better then my mother. I'm Lucretia. I'm a Gruth. I will protect my Village, even though this magic is new to me I will put an end to the curse of the wolves on our land and I will make up from my mothers sins.

I have to. I need to. I must find my place in this word or go to hell trying.

"Ia?" Isaac's voice caught me off guard, only then I cared for how indecent I looked. Pulling the almost see though white cloth to my body, flush to my cheeks I raised my eye brow at him.

"I'm going home, Lady Bucks pipe smell isn't healthy for me" Lie.

"Here" He pulled the clock round my shoulders. And hugged round me and helped me in the direction of my home, with little conversation.

Treating a witch nicely.

When I caused all the sorrow in this village.

Because my mother was a sinner, a whore.
