Debora, the Black Annis had taken the appearance of a beautiful woman, the sharp claw on her both hands had also disappeared. It was the ability that the Black Annis have in order to take the guards down from humans and to escape from the human who captured them. A frightening power that labeled them as the vilest creature.
The eyes rolled a few times, hinting that Ian had left the White's Mansion not long ago.
"Good." Debora whispered, her beautiful face turned appalling from the curling smile that contorted her lips. The eyes rolled again, wanting Debora to give the reward she had mentioned beforehand. "Oh-" Debora chuckled, "-I forgot about our deal, well here is your reward."
The eyes was anticipating the payment from Debora but saw her hand wrapping to his small body and gave it a firm squeeze to crush it.
She whispered. "Thank you, little one you did well." The chilling glint passed to her eyes as she laughed eerily again and heard Georgia from behind.
"We have come, Debora. Did that Demon left yet?"
Debora looked at the gate of the house and turned back to see her fellow Black Annises crowding behind her in a group. "He has. We will move now. The house is dangerous, take the girl and quickly go."
When Georgia had moved however, the other Black Annises didn't move yet, they still looked a little hesitant. One of them who's very courageous spoke up for the fellow comrade. "What about the magical barrier in the Mansion? We will die before we enter the building if it is still active."
Debora looked at her with irk and clicked her tongue. She exclaimed. "No need for futile worries, someone else had taken care of it! Now shut your mouth and go!"
They all looked at each other. The worries on their face had faded into a spine-chilling wide smile. "Alright!"
Following their words, screams of the birds hanging on the tree riot. The Black Anises walked over to the entrance. Blood lust and droll seeping out from their smile as they entered the Mansion. The creatures roaming out of the forest were eerily somber in blood lust smearing over their beautiful faces. A maid named Helena had just went out of the mansion with a broom to sweep the ground and walked over to see a group of beautiful women coming to the entrance but their faces had twisted into a vile smile. Instantly she felt chill running down to her blood when she saw such a murderous smile. "Danger!" She shouted.
Helena ran toward the Mansion, hoping that she would be able to find Austin who was left as the only guard at the Mansion. Debora's smile grew more appalling as she saw Helena running away with an aghast face and whispered to the woman beside her.
"Kill them. Kill anyone in our way."
Before Helena's hand touched the doorknob, the Black Annis used her claws to slashed her neck in a swift movement. Helena's eyes turn vacant when the blood coming off from her neck splattered over the Black Annis's face. The Black Annis licked the traces of blood over her upper lips and continued to enter the Mansion.
Austin and Elise were playing after the absence of Aryl who had to go with her friends. Making another flower crown, Elise looked at the lots of birds passing to the garden.
"What is it, Elise?" Austin walked over to her.
"The birds are crying." Elise pointed up the sky. For some reason, her heart felt an immense uneasiness as though something bad would happen now.
Austin looked up and found it nothing wrong for the birds to fly from their nests in a group and only noted that there were quite too many birds in the forest. He replied lightly. "They're crying? Maybe they are onl-" Austin felt a threatening blood lust from the entranced and cursed under his lips. "Shit! Black Annises!" The Black Annises are creatures that loved to eat children but with these amounts, there was only one reason why they grouped out, the sweet child.
