When the house fell silent
he whispered, a silent vow that carried more weight than words could express.
Kate’s Arrival
The air grew colder as Kate entered, her presence chilling. She carried herself with an unsettling calm, her eyes glinting like polished obsidian.
“You dare challenge me?” she hissed, her voice a serpentine whisper that slithered around the room.
Mathapelo pushed herself upright in bed, cane in hand, summoning every ounce of courage she possessed. “I am not yours to control, Kate. Your spells, your threats… they end tonight.”
Kate laughed, a sound that echoed off the walls like breaking glass. “Bravery is futile when I control every shadow you see.”
