“I’ve not had the urge to kill in days,” Susan said to Dena and Hannah who were in her room. She was before a mirror, looking at her reflection which then split into two separate forms and likeness of herself without her body doing the same.“Does it bother you?” Hannah asked.“Absolutely.” Susan watched as both reflections of herself became one. “It does bother me.”“How did you get out?”Susan backed the mirror to face Hannah. “I was this close,” she brought her thumb and index finger close to almost touching each other, “to using the Trap of Eleanor. This close. But Vivian advised against it. She said never to use the might of great powers who once lived, and that those powers do have a way of returning through their might. It was a candid warning, one I did take heed to, and if not for the invincibility I was feeling, I would have used it. I just didn’t trust the atmosph

Susan’s sharp nails dug into the throat of a man, she left a deep gash there, and released her fingers, the man crumbled to the floor, she looked at the crowd of Chadwick’s followers before her, and smiled.“It’s an honour,” Susan said, and stopped smiling, everyone’s head rolled off their necks and bounced to the floor, their bodies fell with resounding thuds, she turned and walked out of the building.“Fire,” she said.The entire building became an inferno.And so the crisis began. Susan brought war to Chadwick’s followers, haunting them with ease, and killing as much as a hundred thousand every day before she thought to put an end to her unrest. It was blood she was in demand of. It was her sole reason to seek these people.She hoped they never learn, for she didn’t want to kill the innocent. Chadwick was the real challenge here. But then, there was the Red Haux Eleanor had warned her about. That

The eyes of the night could behold the mist, but no other eyes could see it. There were three sisters apart from the mist, and in the middle of the street, they took a stroll in the halt of time, and with everything in suspense. The darkness was around them, the chill that came with ghosts lingered in the unmoving air, and in this state, they couldn’t breathe, but could outlive everyone here.“We should do this more often,” Janice said, looking at her sisters like one would for approval.Vivian was thrilled by the night, and the feel of darkness around her that once she smiled, time unfroze, and the humans whose lives were bound to time began to move about their daily lives. “That was fun.”“You think Chadwick has attained this state, the ability to move in the halt of time?” Susan asked.“I think so,” Vivian said with a grin. “Janice would know.”Susan looked at Janice. “Care to say?&rd

It was almost midnight in High Town City when a large group of Chadwick’s followers thought it was best to flood the city and wreak havoc at night.Susan stood invisible in mid-air, her vision like that of an eagle as she looked through every part they came from.“The night will remain still,” Susan said.Fire from Susan consumed most of the smaller groups, briskly turning them into ashes, Susan faced the larger groups which were in three, and they were closing in on the city.Splitting her form into four, she ordered the three to stand before the group.In an instance, they materialized before these groups which paused in surprise, Susan’s original self watched from mid-air. These beings that had come from Susan said nothing, and did nothing, but were ready to kill only if she gave the order.Susan felt she had had enough blood for tonight, so she used the wind to try to stop these people, and it worked.The w

Don’t worry. You don’t know my name, and probably may not. But let’s get acquainted. I am the Queen of the blood sea, and the lines of powers, and I already know who you are, dear reader.From the way I have been portrayed by my daughter, Susan Hill, and having cursed her, I am quite certain you may see me as evil. And yes, dear reader. I am evil. Just not true evil.Like every bloodstone, I was created, and chosen by the royal line of the Hills which was the highest honour to any bloodstone. In other words, I was drafted to become the second, and most feared bloodstone on earth. I was forced by the Queen to forsake and forget my name when it was made clear that I would one day carry the title of Queen. And that I did.I went through rigorous training, strenuous exercises, and tiring education to be well acquainted with what it meant to be Queen. When my training and education were complete, my mother sent me to live above the blood sea with the huma
