Era: Victoria

The Guilty

Lola awoke again by the sound of thunder. A storm has filled the sky with black clouds, no light passed trough. Her sister noticed too. ''What is happening?'' Lisa asked ''Wait......Why is all this magic stuff happening only now that we both know about all the other world stuff?'' Even Lola was puzzled by it. Is this some kind of curse? Did we anger God? ''I think i know.'' Lola answered. ''It's our father's fault. All this had already been said to me. But i did not know what it meant at the time, and i just thought it was a fairy tale from the other world. It's the Maiden's Grief. I think that because of what father did, she has thrown her curse on our father. See, those clouds let no light pass. Just like the waters she once called her home.''

The storm finally fell into silence after what seemed like weeks. ''This is odd. It just suddenly stopped on it's own? Nothing magical to stop it? No nothing? Why do i have a bad feeling about this?'' Lisa said as the skies cleared up and bright moonlight lightened up the sky once again. Both Lola and Lisa where just coming back from the ruins as they finally where able to see the moon again after 12 days of endless thunder and darkness. But sadly, the townspeople began to spread rumors that we where cursed and that because of them they where shrouded in darkness. They entered the house as they heard father screaming something. They ran to the front door where they saw father being dragged away by two large men. Mother was just watching in tears, not moving or showing any emotion. ''Mother what is happening? Where is father going?'' Lola asked as she saw her father getting forcefully dragged into a carriage. Their mother made a signal with her hand. It meant that they had to go to their rooms and that she would explain there. Both Lisa and Lola ran to their rooms and patiently waited for their mother. They didn't have to wait long.

''Your father has done something very bad a couple days ago, he has been arrested and has to go on trail.'' Mother said. There was still no emotion in her eyes, just an empty shell. ''What did he do?'' Lola said I think i know where this is going. Mother replied shortly after her '' He robbed a family with a gun, he shot both of the children and their mother. They did not survive. But he was stupid enough to drop his gun in a street nearby, and Sir Simon confirmed that it was his. He has to stand trial tomorrow, and we all have to be there for some reason.'' Lola did't know what to say nor did Lisa. Murder and robbery. This will be bad.
