The stormy night has the perfect backdrop for the mysterious event that were about to unfold.
The stormy darkness outside match the turmoil within, as the faint yet piercing cry escape the confines of a small dimly lit room of the grand mansion. They were the cries of Ian.
The boy wept beside his mother's lifeless body and aunt, miss ova who defied the warning from the maid, and rushed into her horrific fate.
A splash of blood followed and her life was extinguished just like her sister's life. The room was now a canvas of carnage, the bloodstain mirroring each other in a horrific echo.
Ian's anguished cry echoed throughout the space, as he watched his auntie's downfall.
His quiet yet piercing words could be head in the room.
I can no longer stand idle and watch you continue to destroy me piece by piece and then a loud and thunderous just voice was heard.
"Valentine, Ian shouted, defying the treacherous king who has just slain his mother and Aunt.
The onlookers trembled aware of the consequences of such audacity.
Israel (Ian's step-brother) sneered and said "how dare you Ian" he continued
" How can you address father with so much disrespect"
" Oh please don't call him, his father don't forget he's just an illegitimate son of the alpha and even a witchs son. Voiced Luna Silva ( his step mother)
Valentine erupted into a menacing laughter HaHaHaHa, sending shivers down the spine of those present. The louder he laughed the more terrifying he became and then you suddenly became quiet, he's silence made everyone terrified more and more terrified.
Finally he spoke, his voice dripping with malice, he then said
" It seems you have forgotten who I am but not to worry I will make you remember and with a wave of his hand he condemned Ian to imprisonment ordering is guards, he said " throw this this a****** into the dungeon, flog him 100 strokes a day, starve him and deny of water until I decree otherwise"
As Valentine the ruthless King exited room, followed by his entourage. Ian's gaze lingered on his stepmother's gloating face, forever etching the memory of a devilish smile that has orchestrated his mother's demise and his downfall.
"Will you take him away" Luna Silva echoed
As Ian was dragged away, Luna silver face curved into an evil grin revealing the success of her plan.
The boy defiant gaze met her's and he spat a bloody warning,"I will be back for you"
But she just merely smiled and her eyes filled with triumph.
A loud sound was heard, SLAP!!!
She slapped him leaving a crimson hand print on his cheek and she said "shut up you son of a lunatic" she hissed and walked away.
Ian was taken to the prison and was flogged mercilessly.
