CLAIRE A couple of minutes later, Claire had noticed Khloe getting pulled out ofcalmly, because it was Edmund leading her out and he was such a good - kind man, Claire steadied her skipping heartbeat as she watched where she would be dragged ,she sighed in relieve and satisfaction when she saw Edmund dragging Khloe back to the dungeon . It was a sign that she won't be killed after all , She stayed exactly where she stood— where she was leaning against- because she was waiting for her brother Melvin she had seen him since he stormed away angrily from the dungeon and she had not been able to tell him about the incident that happened either. Melvin eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Claire leaning against the wall across the hall,he had seen the way she had looked at Khloe when she was still at the dungeon and could guess she was happy seeing her being lead back there till the auction.He stopped in front of her and rolled his eyes "What again Claire ,don't tell me you don't have s

Flickering candlelights , sweet scent of incense ,a sprinkle of salt and cloves and other herbs around a pentagon emitting it scent out if the window into the night , outside the moon stood full and round as it bloomed in the night sky ,it was quite a different night . A night of three heartbeats , two beating in the room that had the candles and incense quietly and another beating faster right underneath their feet in the dungeon . An howl echoed through the roof of the castle , Khloe drools as she pushed her fingers upon the hard firm floor of the cage , it was the full moon and this was when all wolves nerves are heightened ,ever single nerves from strength to pain , Khloe let out a deep howl again into the moon as she is forced by nature to transition. Above the dungeon , Claire lips mummered a matra of spell . It was to protect their bodies while their soul slipped out away from their spirit and body and float in the astral plane ,it was Melvin first time practising

CLAIRESusan stirred in her sleep and fluttered her eyes before opening them ,she stares around the room with her little eyes till it rested on her mother ,who had probably dozed off on the cane chair while watching her . It was her mother's thing - watching her sleep ,it something she had gotten used to over the few weeks." Mother ,!" Susan whispered silently.Claire yawns with wiping her face with the back of her hands before opening her eyes. "I must have fallen asleep." Claire said "I was watching you sleep .""You were doing a very good job ." Susan joked .A grimace pulled on Claire lips and she wiped it away with apalm wondering how so non casual was it of her daughter to tease her about stuffs.Claire stared those brown eyes of daughter , those eyes, that were soft and innocent, those that would make anyone believe she was not capable of hurting a fly but it pierced a hole through her chest to know that her daughter had infact killed a man."Your wolf friend gets to stay

MELVINMelvin walked with his niece through the fancy royal hall , from time to time they walked past guards who now their head slightly in acknowledgement , Susan loved the whole show , it felt alot different when she was walking with Melvin than she did with her mother , of course they respected Claire as well but with Melvin the energy and aura of power her emitted was so strong that she could feel it covering her as well and enjoyed it alot . The light shone dimly through the glass and it kept Susan wondering what time of the day it was , she was used to the curtains being down and candles being everywhere in the castle at first she had thought it was because real vampires burnt under the sunlight but she had come to see that as a fable rather than fact ."Uncle Mel ?" Susan called as they walked by a mirror that had her reflection but not Melvin's. "What is a Red Mist Witch?" Melvin almost choked on his guts "Why ...why did you ask that ?" He asked confused ."I heard mother m

MELVIN"MELVIN ASGRAD !" Katherine scolded as soon as they got into the room , "I am sure you know too well than to fight in the hallway." "I didn't start the fight mother, he did." Melvin responds.For goodness’ sake, Mel, you should have just ignored him and walk away,”Claire commented from her seat in the corner. Melvin rolled his eyes "Ladies you both know I am not someone to throw the first punch in a fight.""According to Susan you did." Katherine grimaced as she looks around "Talking about Susan where the hell is she?" "I was coming to address that ." Mel said as he moved closer the window and peered through it. " Uh-huh, what are you talking about ?"Katherine asked. "Which should I start with?" Melvin asked sarcastically."Alright ,let us start with you two having too ..." He reduced his voice to whisper . " Having to talk about the Red Mist witch right in front of Susan .""Red Mist what ?" Katherine asked surprised."Claire what is he talking about ?" Katherine turn
