Wolf's Howl [Stopped]{First Version}

|Chapter 6|

There was silence as Hana re -applied the makeup and adjusted it so that the bruise that was starting to appear would be unnoticed.

"My lady," spoke Hana, "I cannot bear to see you suffer anymore."

Mizuki made no sound so the older lady found that as a sign to continue.

"I do not understand why your uncle treats you like that. You should escape!" urged Hana as she started to shake Mizuki's shoulder.

"I'll run with you so-"

"And then what?" interrupted Mizuki. "I am blind and you..... are not capable of travelling long distances."

The woman chuckled. It was a light and cheery sound which instantly caused the blind girl to smile.

"I do realise that I am old," replied the maid.

A smile was all it took to make her face look younger than she actually was. Hana noticed this and could help but smile more.

"You should smile more, my lady."

"Hmm....," which caused the girl to hide her expressions once more.

They fell into a comfortable silence while Hana combed Mizuki's hair.

They continued to make small talk until a maid knocked on the door.

"Your presence is required, my lady," stated the maid with a meek voice.

A look of confusion quickly fell onto the younger girl's face.

"He is early," mused the girl.

Hana looked horrified. "Mizuki-" started Hana but stopped when she saw the girl's face.

"Don't worry Hana. I will be forever grateful for your existence," said Mizuki as she started feeling the top of the table with all of the makeup.

As her fingers found what they were looking for, she turned and walked towards the door with Hana's assistance.

As Hana put on the mask for Mizuki, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

"I won't let him touch me," said the girl with a hint of malice.

She then turned around and walked down the wooden corridor.

Towards her future husband.
