The Red Hooded Girl

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

With Aurora's eighteenth birthday coming to an end, Maleficent was still not done. She had something horrible planned for the poor princess.

In the dark area of the woods near King Sebastian's kingdom, a pack of werewolves lived. Their leader, or Alpha, was Rameses, that was until he was killed by King Sebastian. Ramses had a mate. A powerful sorceress named Maleficent. They loved each other deeply. Following Rameses death, Maleficent was proclaimed Alpha of the pack, and started planning her revenge.

"Maleficent," a low voice said, "it has been eighteen years since you cursed the princess."

A tall women with blonde curls and a pale face turned around to face the owner of the voice. This woman's name is Maleficent, the witch who cursed Princess Aurora. She was holding strongly to a staff and was wearing a long black coat. The owner of the voice is Laszlo, the second in command, or Beta, of the pack.

After Rameses's death, Laszlo was in favor to let Maleficent become the Alpha. However, Maleficent was filled with desire for revenge. She focused more on making the King suffer than on her pack.

"It was that damn Merryweather!" she yelled in anger. "If she had not messed with my curse, then I wouldn't have to stress over wether the princess is dead or not!"

"Such an effect a simple change can do to a curse. Lady, don't forget that we don't know the exact date of the princess's eighteenth birthday."

Maleficent's jaw tightened. "Is he back yet?"

"We haven't heard word of him since we sent him, Lady."

"He's back!" a voice exclaimed.

Maleficent and Laszlo crowded over the coming wolf.

"Well," Maleficent asked the wolf, "is she dead yet?"

The wolf stood up and changed into a man. "She. . ."

"She what?"

"She. . . is still alive."

Maleficent's face turned red with fury. "She is still alive," she mocked him. "It was your job to kill her. She should be dead!"

"Lady, you don't understand."

"I don't understand?"

"Oh no," Laszlo muttered.

"Her father killed Rameses, our Alpha, and I don't understand!" Smoke uncontrollably came out of her nose.

"She is your sister's daughter!" the werewolf tried to reason. It was too late, though. By just raising her staff, the werewolf was lifted and frozen in mid-air.

"The only thing she shares with my sister is the blonde hair. Other than that, she is nothing like her." She thumped her staff on the ground. A lifeless body that used to be the werewolf fell to the floor.

"Clean this mess up," she ordered and walked out of the room.
