The night sky was filled with dark_gray clouds as the weather turned colder and grim , the rain had not stopped for days and nights but life went on in Willow Creek .
A young man dressed in a white shirt with a grey_blue vest over it paired with the same coloured trousers sat in his study going through some papers , he casually pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he continued reviewing the documents .
His dark brown hair was neatly combed back leaving a strand on his forehead , his dark-green eyes keen on what he was doing .
He looked calm and composed anyone who saw him for the first time would picture him as a warm and kind gentleman almost as an angel with his unearthly looks but underneath that was a cold ,distant and heartless young man whose distaste for humans was greater than anything else .
He was the Lord of all werewolves in the creek , Lord Exavier Baulderaiev the first son of the late Lord Cianus Baulderaiev and Lady Lydia .
A light knock on his door made him look up 'Come in , Gilielmo ' he said as he placed his glasses aside .
' Sorry to disturb you this late My lord but there is an urgent matter to discuss about the human girl who we must escort her here from Woodville tomorrow ' the man explained sincerely only for the Lord to narrow his eyes subtly.
' So ? I trust you will bring her here safe and sound . Now and go prepare for your departure tomorrow . I have urgent matters to attend to' Lord Xavier replied as he continued doing what he had been doing leaving his right hand pouting slightly .
' But my Lord the council clearly informed us that you had to go and get her not me ' the man commented hoping that would change things .
' The council can go to hell but you , do you want to go to hell Gilielmo? ' the Lord asked nonchalantly but his right hand got the message.
' To hell ? Of course not my Lord, let me go and prepare for the departure this instant ' Gilielmo hastily made his way out thanking the Gods for his timely escape .
The young Lord stood from where he was seated and made his way to the large glass window , the whole of Willow Creek could be seen filled with lights and lives he wanted to protect from humans .
He could still hear the cries of pain and grief from his people when the humans had attacked them unprepared , he lost his sister and hasn't been able to find her or her grave if she had died but this time he won't let it happen again and that's a promise he was willing to keep by hook or by crook .
He only agreed to this marriage of truce out of the hefty benefits out of it , his council had begged him to go through this quietly but he was far from letting that human live here peacefully.
In the Alvarez mansion
Charlotte made her way to her sister's room to confront her about what she had done to her . She turned the nob and met herself in and found her sister brushing her hair in front of her dressing table .
But every brush of her hair turned it into blonde hair , ' Scarlet why is your hair changing ? ' disbelief and something else could be seen in Charlotte's eyes as she tried to understand what was actually going on .
Scarlet smiled darkly as she said ' It has begun ' she quickly ran towards the door and locked it .
' Scarlet what is this , why did you lock the door ? ' Charlotte's hair was changing from blonde to brown, she couldn't see clearly and started feeling dizzy whilst a burning pain slowly spread from her face to her body .
'Keep it down dear sister it will be over before you know it ' Scarlet laughed as she stared at her sister .
' Help me please.....Aaah ! ' Charlotte fell to her knees in pain , her face felt as if it was burning and so did her body . Her face morphing from Charlotte to Scarlet .
Strangely no one in the mansion could here Charlotte scream in pain not even the maid who were passing outside the room .
' Sister please help me , pleaseeee ' Charlotte tried to reach out to Scarlet but she stepped aside and just heartlessly watched at her sister cry in pain .
' Don't fight it just accept it my dear ' Scarlet said in a mocking tone , she didn't feel any burning feeling in her but she almost looked like Charlotte .
Through her pain Charlotte could see how Scarlet was turning to her now , she didn't know what was going on so she touched her face and hair...it had turned brown! . Then it all made sense to her she was trying to take her life from her but why .
Charlotte could feel her consciousness slipping away admist the pain so she asked her sister ' Why Scarlet , why ? ' black tears fell from her eyes as she asked .
Scarlet stepped closer to her and whispered ' Because an illegitimate child like you deserves nothing but sadness and sorrow all your life not a happy ending ' she clicked her tongue and stepped away from her .
The words replayed in her drifting mind over and over again like a tune .
' Because an illegitimate child like you deserves nothing but sadness and sorrow all your life not a happy ending...'
That was why she was always treated indifferently , her mother never loved her or cared , nor her Aunt or uncle it was all because she was born out of wedlock.
Their fates were being misled by the black witch's magic .
