10TH CENTURY A.D
In a small hut a young 18-year-old witch with raven hair running down her back to her waist and brown-grey eyes, couldn't help but rub her shaky hands together nervously as she continued to pace up and down frantically.
She was still stuck in a state of shock.
Inhaling tightly, the raven-haired beauty turned to face her adoptive mother "Mother, please." She begged as she finally stopped her pacing.
She just couldn't comprehend how Esther could ask of her such a task.
It was against all laws of nature.
The spirits had forbidden it for a reason.
"You cannot ask this of me."
The elder woman sighed before standing from her seat. Circling the table she placed her hands on the girl's arms trying to calm her.
"Please, Marianna you are my last hope. The spirits have turned on me. I need your help."
Ever loyal to the spirits and Ayana Bennett, Marianna frantically started shaking her head as she pulled away. Given what Esther was requestioning of her, all she could do was stare at her in horror.
To write a spell like this?
What she was asking...it couldn't be...it was wrong.
"It's inhuman, it goes against all the laws of nature."
"These are my children, your siblings, Marianna." Esther argued causing the young witch to flinch ever so slightly as she thought about the recent loss of the youngest of their clan "I have already lost so much. You know that it's possible, you have the sight. Marianna, you know it can work, vampires exist because of demons, they contain immortality...you know replicating it is possible."
Cupping the raven-haired girl's face in her hands Esther smiled softly as her thumbs stroked Marianna's cheeks "You have immortality now, do you truly wish to be alone? You could have our family with you. You can help me. Please, I took you in, and raised you as though you were my own. So please, do this for me."
Marianna sighed deeply as her conflicted mind continued to battle against emotion and duty.
Pulling away from Esther, Marianna focused on the grimoire that had belonged to her birth mother.
A grimoire that was now covered in her brother Kol's notes.
If she did this she could lose everything, but if she didn't...she could lose the only family she had ever known.
"The spirits gave me immortality to help guide the future generations. Not to use my power for this."
Dark magic based on demonic energy would not end well.
Glancing out of the small makeshift window, Marianna froze as she spotted her siblings outside.
Her brothers and her sister.
The family that had taken her in. That had made her a part of their family.
Taking in a shaky breath the raven-haired witch sighed. They were her family.
Always and Forever.
They would come before her promise to the spirits.
They had to.
She owed them that at least.
"I cannot perform the spell." She whispered finally turning back to face Esther tears filling her eyes as she made her final choice.
A choice that would end up being the death of her good heart.
"But I will help you. I will write the spell, but first...I will need the Blood of The Slayer."
