Cream colored parchment shook in the grip of pale, alabaster fingers. Long, black nails nearly tore through the lines and cracks of the creases. Cherry red lips quivered as bright red eyes followed the arranged letters painted on the parchment. The arranged letters told Princess Veronica of the quantity of deaths reported for the past month. Her quiet, still breath shook in the air as she spoke: "This..this is blasphemy.. how could such high numbers of innocent lives be wiped away by such inferior creatures?" She telekinetically set the parchment to flames, wanting the horrible nightmare to end. She paced through her secretary's spacious office, her black heels clanking with each quick step she made. Veronica's secretary was reading papers delivered to her by the King of England. "Miss Veronica," her ginger voice peeped, "The King is requesting an immediate meeting regarding a possible solution to so many deaths."
