."I-I don't know what happened. I-I didn't -" Darian held her in his arms and gently patted her back. Her voice came out muffled as she cried on him "Is she...okay?" "She'll be fine, Harmony. Don't blame yourself, you had no idea it was going to happen""I heard her, screaming... telling me to stop but...I don't know" her eyes widened and she looked up "B-back there...there was a woman. She-she-""Come" Darian held her hand and sat her on the couch with him next to her "Go on""She wore a black veil. S-she held my hand and forced something out of me. I don't know what but...and she said, I was ready"She felt him warm hand wrap around her shoulder and brought her to him, holding her in his embrace"What is happening to me, Darian? Why is...why am I like this?""Your powers are out, Harmony. You know you do not belong to an element""I'm a dark witch" she stated and hugged him tightly. It was too hard for her to take in"Lord Darian..." Lennox called with a bow "I'm sorry to intrude.
."Oh!" she turned around when she heard the loud gasp from behind her and her eyes widened in astonishment seeing the person before her "Harmony?""Anna!" they both called in shock as they stared at each other before pulling their selves into each other's arms"Oh my gosh, is it really you? Harmony...where, I thought I'd never see you again"With wide smiles on both their faces, they stared at each other with tear filled eyes. Having to see each other again after so long, was heartwarming"That...the mirror. You-" Anna's eyes returned back to the mirror and then to Harmony"I...a lot has happened ever since we got separated, Anna. I just got to know that I am a witch with dark powers. I destroy things and the mirror happened to be my latest victim""Oh? That's not good?""It isn't" Harmony said with a sigh which was immediately replaced by a smile "But now that I see you, I'm so happy""Me too, Harmony. We have so much to catch up on" Anna squealed, holding Harmony's hand tightly. Th
The carriage came to a stop as she muttered the last of her words and Darian stepped out, not saying anything neither glancing at herNow she was all aloneHarmony stepped down from the carriage and she stared at the entrance door. She sighed before turning aroundShe needed a stroll to clear her head. Did she just hsvr a quarrel with Darian? She knew she shouldn't have but she no longer wanted to involve anyone in her problemShe came to a stop in front of the garden and crouched before the flowersShe stressed her hand and caressed the petals of the flowerA slight smile displayed on her lips as she felt the soft texture of the flower. Suddenly, the flower slowly turned to ash, from the petal down to the root and then...the whole gardenAll the flowers witheredHarmony stood up, she was shocked and she couldn't question herself what had just happened as she had no idea"That was unexpected" a feminine voice was heard from behind and Harmony roughly spun around. It was the lady in th
.Harmony walked in the hallway with saddened steps. She came to a stop in front of Darian's room and she raised her hand to knock on the doorBut hanged halfway, she wanted to see him one last time before she left, but what was she going to say to him?She hesitated and placed her hand down, she was about turning around to leave when the door openedThere, Darian stood in his usual blue robe, his lips were stretched in a thin line and his red eyes bore into hersShe paused and her eyes went to rest on her feet, she didn't know how she was going to apologize to him, taking in a deep breath, she said "I-I'm sorry, Darian"Was a simple apology enough for him?She felt his hand on her chin as he raised her head for her eyes to once again meet his"Don't push me away, Harmony. It's hurts when you do things alone knowing I am there to support you. We're going to figure this out together" Harmony's eyes watered and she ran into his arms. Darian's hand glided on her back as she snuggled clos
.The palace ground shook violently. Each one of the servants could sense the tension in the environment. The Lord had gone rampant this morning, and the servants knew nothing about what happened"Darian, please..." Vlad pleaded as Darian tossed a note to the ground as well as the scrolls on his deskVlad had been called by the butler and was told what had happened. Harmony had left the palace and she left a note"Darian...""She made a promise. We were going to figure it out together. She dare leave a note after leaving me!" Darian roared, slamming his hand against the wall"You should understand, it is not easy for her-""You think it is for me? I tried so hard to convince and assure her that she was not like those witches. But she didn't take my word for it""There must be something that made her leave. She shouldn't have just left like that""Milord" Lennox stepped in, his eyes looking at the mess made in the room "The witch has awoken"."I heard her voice when I was asleep. But
.Several days went by with Harmony still in the cave with no way of going out, food was usually brought in by Zaria thus she never left the room"The full moon...is today" Harmony said with a sigh, her chin resting on her folded knees as she clutched them to her chestShe was confused, they had to wait until the full moon before she could know who she truly was? Couldn't it be explained now?She shouldn't trust the veiled woman, maybe she should have never left DarianHer eyes dimmed at the thought of him getting hurt because of her. Being in an isolated place was perhaps the best idea to avoid hurting anyone elseThe door to the room slowly opened and the veiled woman came into view"The auspicious time is now. Zaria will get you ready""Ready? Ready for what?" Harmony questioned whilst standing from the bed "You said you were going to tell me everything. I have been here for several days now, and you haven't told me anything""That is because, dear...there is nothing to tell""What
. With legs clutched to her chest, Harmony's eyes were dim as she stared at the sheets. Her mind in wonder and worry, wonder on what was going to happen to her now that she found out their plan. And worry for she fear that Darian might try to look for her She didn't want that. If she were to find a way to escape... Her head snapped to the door when it opened for the second time in a minute "Anna?!" she called in shock as she quickly rose from the bed. Going to hold onto Anna who was thrown to the cold ground "Harmony" Anna held her tightly in her arms "W-what is going on?" "What is this? Why is she here?" "Her Grace wants you to think twice before you decide to take any unnecessary actions" and the witch left "Anna...this-this wasn't supposed to happen. I-I'm sorry" . "Darian" Hiraya called out, stepping into his study. She had knocked on the door several times but had gotten no response "It is hard, Darian. You don't have to appear so calm" He was silent "You haven't been t
"Hmm, that's a pretty one you have there" hummed a middle aged lady in a blue gown, her hand reaching out to push her glasses to the bridge of her nose. Her grey eyes staring down at the petite looking child who stood with her head down "Where did you find her, Martha?" "Madame, I found her behind an alley" Martha answered, her hair was tied to a bun and she wore a maid's uniform"Get her cleaned and take her to the room" Martha nodded with a bow and took the child by her tiny hand which were covered with dirtThe little girl still had her head down, her brown hair was slightly dishevelled and her hands stood shakingly at the sideShe heard the sound of a metal door creak open and Martha slowly took her inside"Here, child. This is where you'll be staying, why don't you raise your head and have a look" Martha urged but the little girl's head was faced to the cemented ground "Aunt Martha..." another's child voice was heard and the little girl shivered backward hearing the rough footst
