"She sent a letter requesting our help," the banshee queen held the a plain letter in between her fingers as she waved it front of her ring of other banshees. Their red eyes stared upon the queen's red ones. The only difference was, Fay's hair turn moon white to represent the first banshee queen, who gave up on life and was kissed by death underneath the glowing moon, wailing over the loss of her children. Death had swooped her up from her feets and cradled her in between the darkness of the unknown and the in between of everything. Banshees were women who had given up on life that it painfully kills them. The agony, the anguish, breaks them to the point their heart actually stops. Their souls separate from the body that holds the pain only for death to touch the soul.
Kissed by death. It changes the soul, gives it another layer, a dimension. Banshees didn't wail when death chose someone, they wailed because they were in pain. Their wails were sweet music that Death enhanced. Their eyes red as the blood that runs through the body and their ring of banshees all connected by Death. However, one must always lead the banshees. For there was a group of undead and greater demon who wanted a banshee's soul. Unlike the undead, who had indeed died. A banshee hadn't, for a banshee to fully become one she must find the will to survive again. Rip herself from Death's arms and jump back into her body. Into the pain and anguish. Resetting her heart, though the soul will never be the same.
For the shadows of Death will forever remain on the soul. A banshee is a women who cheated Death. Tricked Death into believing she wanted to die only to find the will to survive when she realizes that the pain was better than the darkness that waited her if she died. And because a banshee could transform into a banshee and back to their normal state, just like Death. Death hated it, so it send something after the banshees.
The Wild Hunt.
Lead by the higher demon, Hecate. The triple goddess of the witches. The first demon witch. The one who took the form of a goddess and rode on skeleton horse along with the undead. Her dead dogs at her side with ruby eyes. The first banshee fought Hecate with her screams and help from her sister. Later who was bestowed as a commander with long claws because of her nails that tore at the demon witch; helping the first banshee. Together, they managed to escape and found other banshees to protect them from the Wild Hunt that would forever chase them.
There were ways to escape the Hunt, the Hunt couldn't enter any type of home, no matter how old or abandoned it was. Homes were a place for the living, something death can't touch. Banshees could mask their scents and trick Hecate's dogs with cinnamon and nuts because the two sisters had a third sister who healed both sisters with cinnamon and nuts in their first night as banshees. The King was with the third sister and took sadness on the three sisters who had held so much sadness that it killed them. So he made the dogs be blinded by the ingredients she had used to heal the first queen and commander. The last way was to use their screams when only necessary. For the Hunt could hear the screams from miles away, if they are close. The safest night for a banshee is when there is no moon and the Hunt is stuck on the other side of Elsewhere.
Fay glanced at her ring of banshees again. She knew, they had wanted Ami as their queen and not Fay. They believed that Fay couldn't handle being leader of a group of girls who were tortured in every way and all were different from another. Fay was too timid to stand up against some of her sisters, where Ami was fearless and strong.
She missed Ami. Fay had loved Ami. And if anyone knew what she had felt for her, she would be shamed. For Ami's ex had cursed both of them when he found them together. If they were to ever touch each other again, one of their sisters would die. After the curse, Ami decided to look for the guardian on her own, without Fay and the ring because seeing Fay every single day was too much for her.
