Beauty and the Beast

Isabelle looked around in the market and sighed as now she can't really buy things she came here for and by looking at the cash left and the bags in her hand, she can't pick more in her hand too. She should have taken Perry with her; she would have helped her pick some bags and her bargaining technique have been of use today. While thinking these things, Isabelle left for her home, by taking a lift from a brougham, sitting at the insides and just lying holding her things tight, sacred someone would steal them, when she saw a girl of her age crying because of her things getting stolen, these things are common in Mythwield, people are corrupt and the poverty makes them do many bad things.

Isabelle got down the brougham when she noticed the stop closer to her house has come, she looked at the sunset and she knew she was late today and mama will be at home worrying for her. She looked around as she felt something run past her, she knew it was the dark creature her mother was talking about, she is not to run as the more she will run the more his instincts will want to have her on the platter. Mama told her that these dark creatures came about 15 years ago when she was just a child of five years, she is the most special to her mother. She walked slowly but steadily.

Then she saw the arrow coming towards her and all the wisdom of not to run, ran out of her mind and she ran leaving all bags that were in her hand. She ran away and noticed the shadow still running around her scaring her more and as she saw her home, she increased her speed and suddenly the creature is in her way and was about to touch her, another shadow tugged and soon she found herself inside the mansion and no one at home.

She ran around the house but still no one was there, her breaths raged and the constricting pain in her chest increased, sobs were heard, she fell onto her knees. Suddenly, the window glasses broke, every little thing in the house starting bursting, the peaceful silence was filled with all crashing's and slamming's sounds. Nothing seemed fine and suddenly everything started to get back into their previous place, the glass that was in pieces went back in shape, the girl who fell on her knees went back out of the house, into the town market and again at home exactly in the morning in her bed, the sun just rose and some rays crossing the light net curtain around her bed and fell onto her face waking her up and her dark brown eyes lit up yet a little bit drowsy. The whole place which seemed to be destroyed looked perfectly alright, her family around her and nothing she felt happened has happened, everything is fine, she never went to market, neither was she attacked by the dark creature. She won't go out today, her dreams always seemed to warn her.

Her mother, Kamila diamond, also looked for her daughter, her naïve and best daughter. She knocked on the door and entered just to see her daughter getting ready and smiled at her, her daughter never fussed about anything, she was always obedient but still in her eyes she has always seen a fighting spirit and she doesn't want that fighting spirit die. She loves her daughter too much to let her become lifeless. Those dark creatures have come asking for servants and maids for the palace, that's the safest place for her daughter, Perry and she will leave for the palace today, no matter what happens she will send them to the palace, no one will be able to do anything to her there. The reality is still different but the mother doesn't know.

She smiled at her daughter and pulled her to the bed all the while looking down and not at her daughter, tears filled her eyes and she shuddered at the thought of her daughter leaving her alone, but it's about her safety, she has to send her. Kamila looked at her daughter and caressed her head. "Isa, I want you to listen well and know that this is my order to you, the dark creatures came to ask for maids for palace works, the work is simple in the palace, the same you do here at your home, just a bit more and nothing else, nowadays the visit of dark creatures have increased and the death number of humans has started to rise too much than last years, I want you to go to the mansion and stay there, only for one year, would you do that for your mother?"

Isabelle knew what her mother wants her to do, she wants her to go to a safe place so that she will be saved from these things, and if her mother wants her to go, then she will go and she nodded her head, soon enough her clothes were ready and she was ready to leave with the dark blue carriage with her cousin sister Perry. The carriage only had her and her sister, others has already left in the carriages and she also wished a goodbye to her mother with tears in her eyes and Perry cried looking at her mother and father silhouettes disappearing. She will meet them; she has her hope.

Isabelle also looked sad and hoped for the carriage to turn but then her mother wants her to do it, she can't run to her then, she will do what her mother said. Perry hugged Isabelle from side and kept her head on Isa's shoulder and sneezed, she is feeling alone. Isa too laid her head on Perry's head and closed her eyes.

They reached the palace in dawn and got down, Isa's skin glistened under moon and she attracted a lot of attention from opposite gender and her nonchalance to it just amplified the allure even more. She and Perry looked around the place with luggage in their hands.

Isa smiled when she looked at the palace's inside, she found the ire and beauty all together, she loved how things were blending and hated how the ire of dark destroyed it all. She and Perry entered, the room allotted to them and just changed and slept as told. Tomorrow, new changes will be made.

Alexander looked at the council man who is sitting leisurely drinking wine and smiling to himself while working on the record.

"what do you think this is about?" Niklaus asked.

The palace getting made is normal but never has there been such a beautiful time after the offspring missing incident, only cold atmosphere surrounds the palace but today warmth has started to come as if they all were getting the happiness of offspring's entry. There has never been such beauty surrounding this palace.

Alexander turned to leave the study room while feeling as if things are going to change, every damn thing is signaling towards the arrival but that's impossible, nothing can bring the baby back unless, it's the baby itself.

The baby might be around 18 years now and if it has entered the palace all they can do is wait for it to show itself.

Alexander ordered for a maid in his room and soon a shrill shout is heard and the body ripped apart, Sinclair's feeling to kill has increased whenever somebody touched him. This is the third female he killed, one of the killed ones was the council man Ramgard's daughter, it didn't take much time to settle the argument.

Just one kill was enough.

Isabelle looked at the people coming in and out of the kitchen and walks towards the door and did the work she was supposed to with two other maids with whom she just talked when she needed to and didn't tried to talk for more time than she should. The maids also didn't try to talk much because the girl was kind and seemed to have no connection with rich people. Mentality of some people is just so low that they can't even make friends without benefits.

Isabelle just did her work and went to garden to water the plants she was supposed to. She noticed how no plant was looking bright, rather they were all done, she didn't like it at all and she wished for them to grow so bright that the gloom of this place just leaves as fast as it can.

Isabelle after thinking all this just left to help make some arrangements.

While she was unaware of eyes looking at her, founding her beautiful and different, her aura is peaceful but something is amiss, thought the man with cape. The smile on his face was apparent, his eyes noticed and solved a great mystery.

Isabelle looked at her right to see the lord entering the garden and therefore stood up to leave, the maids aren't allowed to work where the lord and his friends enter to not hear anything they shouldn't.

As Isabelle left, every flower in the garden started blooming with beauty and freshness and happiness. It was as if they got a new life. Lord Alexander noticed it and was shocked, to these flowers blooming reason is simple, the dying mansion has come alive, the child has entered but who is it.

And the beast has noticed the arrival of beauty.
