"Let me go!" Sapphire cried out, helplessly.
Unknowingly to her, right after her stepmother had given out such orders —two sturdy-looking guys had hopped behind and grasped her forcefully.
Sapphire was defenseless and vulnerable, she aggressively fought with them them. However, they were too strong for her to overpower.
"Ha-ha, don't fight it, Sapphire. You won't be able to withstand these two huge guys," Scenery ridiculed.
She bridged her hands across her chest as she stood beside her mother who was glaring at Sapphire while she was struggling to push off the men.
"I warned you, Sapphire. I warned you to flee from this Mansion but you wouldn't listen," Mrs. Vera spat, she angrily slapped Sapphire over and over again.
"Ah, mother!" Sapphire screams badly, her cheeks stinging in pain and Scenery laughed satisfactorily
Sapphire gulped weakly, drilling of blood spilled from her lips as she wobbled feebly but the men gripped her in a spot.
"Take her out, now!" Mrs. Vera growls in order and Sapphire was dragged out of the building by the two men.
Mrs. Vera and her daughter follows, not minding the rain falling drastically as they silently watched the men pull Sapphire towards a white loitering van.
"Let me go, take your flirty hands off me!" Sapphire growls, tussling and wriggling in actions.
James and Peter were ignorant as they propelled her roughly to the icy floors of the van, they both stepped out afterward before slamming the boot in a boisterous bang.
"All done! Mrs. Vera," James uttered, ruffling his hair childishly as he pose gallantry.
His colleague, Peter trudged to the driver's space and stepped inside while he chatted with the older woman and her daughter.
"I trust you would do a good job, James. Kill her, shredding her heart into pieces, and leave her in the dark woods for the animals to feast on," Mrs. Vera ordered.
"As you wish, Mrs. Vera," James smirked mischievously.
"I know huge guys like you wish to have fun with chaste girls. You can have her as you want, you know what I mean," Scenery said as she lend him a smug simper.
James cracked up excitedly, he glanced knowingly at her as he nods.
Scenery gazed at him, she could perceive the lust and carvings in his eyes —she knew James wouldn't resist Sapphire's body and that made her somewhat satisfied.
"I will leave now, Mrs. Vera," James informed as he gave a gentle bow at them before walking towards the white van.
Mrs. Vera gave her daughter a side hug as they gawked at the white van which was taking off from the yard. A heaving sigh of relief and achievement evaded from their noses.
"Finally, the witch is gone mother," Scenery muttered.
"Yes, my dear. She's finally gone and Princeton will be back to be all yours when he no longer perceives her dark aura in the house," Mrs. Vera murmured as they both stood in the rainfall.

The night is long, the night is still green and cold.
The violent rain wouldn't cease plunging and the atmosphere was uncanny as the white van drove along the secluded road.
"Don't tell me your gonna kill that girl, she's not worthy of our blades," Peter said, his eyes focused on the roadway.
"Why? Are you scared?" James chuckled as he pulled out a lightweight knife from his left pocket pant.
"You know I'm not, James. I'm just being concerned about her. She looks innocent and naive," Peter told.
"Whatever, Mrs. Vera paid us a lot of money to carry out the task. It's only right if we do as we were instructed," James said as he plopped the knife back into his pocket.
Consequently, silence and stillness devour the sight and merely the noises of the van could be heard which was accompanied by the soothing music booming.
After a few minutes, the van came to a halt at a lonely path and the men quickly alighted as they rushed to the boot.
James unlocked the boot first, and Peter went inside next. Promptly, he lean down to the young lady and James joined him inside as they both roughly dragged out Sapphire who looks -lifeless.
Both men stood for a while as they clenched her arms, James glanced east before looking over at the west side of the woods.
He thought about which direction they'd put up with and then, he nods his head towards the east path and they both hauled Sapphire deeper into the woods.
Momentarily, they reached a satisfying spot and they pushed her aggressively to the grounds. Hence, James wipes the beads of labor off his forehead as he attempts to zip his pants.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Peter snaps, he held James's arm and propelled him back.
"Don't try to stop me!" James growls. "I'm only trying to have fun before we kill her. Come on, Peter. You don't expect me to toss away that pretty doll just like that, huh?"
"Can you listen to yourself, James? Do you want to have fun with a harmless lady and kill her? Come on, she has done nothing wrong to you. To the both of us!"
"Stopping acting like your a saint, Peter. You're a killer and so am I... We have destroyed a lot of people and this shouldn't be a pain to us,"
"Your right, we are both killers and at the thought of it, I'm done!" Peter spat out disgustingly and James furrows his brows in disbelief.
"Seriously? You gat to be joking!" He laughed.
"I'm not, James. I'm damn serious," Peter emphasized his every word, and then, dry silence.
Uncertainty and conflict became one...
Merely the thick breathing of the men could be heard as Peter suddenly groaned frustratingly, he drove his fingers into his hair as he throbbed them before pivoting to glimpse at Sapphire.
He's mentally going crazy and he doesn't know why —this wasn't his first time in this business, and dismissing the act of killing the young lady is odd for him.
Something isn't right —Peter thought inwardly as he stared expressionlessly at Sapphire, who spread lifelessly on the grounds.
"Are you in love with her?" James abruptly asks, breaking down the raging composure.
"No, I'm not!" Peter snapped at him almost immediately. And in a splash-dash, James seethed towards Sapphire without a second thought again.
"Stop!" Peter yelled angrily as he quickly grabbed him back and James forcefully pushed him off.
"Stay off me, coward!" He gnarls and Peter snarled at him warningly —If only James knew who he was, he wouldn't dare to shout raucously at him.
"Take your words back!" Peter shouted.
Abruptly, an unusual growl streams maliciously across the woods, imposing the tresses to flap their wings vigorously and the heavens gurgled in nature.
The powerful aura of the strange essence is eerie and terrifying. Its growl comes again, jabbing the earth to its beneath and both men flinch in panic.
"W-what's that?" James trembles, his voice quivering as he faltered on his feet.
Suddenly, a pitch-black smoke jammed the woods, compressing the opening with its black scary fogs. And in a blink, two orbs of red eyes originated amidst the uncanny smokes.
"The outlawed!" Peter whimpered, his face shriveled in tension as he found it hard to breathe.
"The out-what?!" James lurched on his word.
His brown orbs prowled around difficultly in the dark fogs as he instantly caught sight of the red perilous whose presence isn't known yet, the meanly red eyes in the pitch black fogs scream out death to him.
James' eyes widened at the dark spectacle, his mouth fell wide in an O shape, and his face flushed in deep dreadfulness as if he beheld death itself.
Of course, this was death!!
"Sweet Jesus, save me!" he whimpers, terrifyingly.
"RUN!" Peter shrieks vociferously and they both scurried instantaneously in various directions.
A soul insight would think their pants were burnt on the fire as they left the lifeless lady at the mercy of the malignant and deadly essence of the red eyes.
Like a book; Sapphire's eyes snapped open...!!
