Cain walked away from the edge of the gate. He looked at Dominic who had entered the abandoned church is silence. They had came to look more into his family's past, to find out the root of the curse he was afflicted with only to be led into the abandoned church."They said this church would bring bad luck. But others said that this church would instead bring a brilliant luck," Jasper who had walked beside Dominic spoke. He saw Dominic's eyes sauntering around the church and spoke again, "I thought we were going to lay low.""My curse is slowly progressing. Soon, I would either eat a person unwillingly or die from the pain," Dominic dropped his sentence as though it was nothing big but Jasper who stood by his side looked at him with wide eyes, his jaw almost smashing the ground."How?" He then shook his head in silence. No one knew how Dominic was cursed not even Dominic himself, if the root of the question had no answer, they don't have the answer to the rest of the questions."Was th

Rose was confused why the man had released her and she could only glare at him warily. The man on the other hand was calm as he looked at her. He turned his face to the side to where the men had ran to as though he could see them through the walls.He turned back to look at her again, "What are you waiting for? Still not going?"Rose slowly pushed herself from the floor. She didn't understand. Why is he letting her go? Was this a trap? She carefully made her way to the door but the man didn't move. Taking the chance, with a gulp of cold air, Rose ran with her life depend on her legs to leave the small hut she was kept captive at.What met her when she rushed outside was the forest. The night was dark that it was impossible to see the moon. She didn't know where she was. There was a lot of forest in Essex and in her entire life, she mostly spent her time back in her village.The uncertainty of her path scared her but Rose knows better the men would take her life if she comes back.

Dominic would have never believed finding Rose had disappeared from the castle. When he returned with his men, his heart was instantly filled with a dark dread with the sudden loss of Rose's sweet fragrance around the manor.At once, he jumped down from his stallion, pulling aside his coat to move faster into the castle. He first searched for his Rose inside her room, finding it empty. There was no sign of scatter that could imply anyone coming inside, but the fact her scent had gone meant she was no where near the castle.Veronica, Josephine, and Gabby appeared to the room after seeing him running toward Rose's room. Seeing rose no where to be found, they were also confused."What's wrong, Dominic?" Veronica hurriedly question, finding the situation that doesn't add up."Where's Rose?" Dominic quickly questioned her as reply. His hand held Veronica's shoulder. "Have you seen her?""I-I saw her earlier," Josephine raised her voice hastily, still scared of Dominic. "Around the time of

Dominic made sure to note on the wounds that covered the victims' bodies. They were far from any normal injuries. The injuries were deep but had marks that appeared as though a beast had stormed to the place.Rose had seen enough blood for the day but still felt her stomach churn at the sight of headless bodies on the ground. The night and the forest all seemed as though it had been splashed over by bucket of red paint.After walking around, Dominic returned to his human form. He took a coat from one of the dead man to cover himself as to not turn into a caveman. Seeing Rose's pale face, he wanted to get her out of the place as soon as possible when Rose recalled of the missing piece."Mr. Jayden… he is here. He was with them," Rose spoke out, receiving the raise of the eyebrow from Dominic.The name of a man made him narrow his eyes and the context made him even more suspicious. "Amongst these men, you didn't see that… Jayden thing?"Rose shook her head, "I think he was kept back at

Josephine walked around the garden with deep frown knitting on her forehead. There was only worry that filled her heart also self hatred and guilt.After Rose's disappearance, Dominic had came back alone with Rose on his arm. The man hurried to bring her to his room and tend to her wound, this was everything Josie heard from the servants.They mentioned there was a lot of blood covering Rose. Since her little sister was younger, Josie recalled how Rose could easily caught illness. She was born with a weak constitution and she couldn't imagine how much pain Rose was going through now.It made her to reflect on all her doings. Even though she was fueled with jealousy that her sight was clouded, Josie was taught with kindness by her parents. To protect her younger sister was the responsibility of the elder child. But Josie still couldn't contain her jealousy when she thought how Jayden loved Rose more than her.But reflecting on her past action, made her painful aware of her egoistic nat
