"Calm down Sheila. Just calm down." I took deep breaths as I kept reminding myself, walking into the darkness. I loathed the dark, I'm just as frighten of it as Mariette is with spiders. Though I never told Mariette about this fear, I was taught to keep it inside, as well as hiding my clumsiness. "A-Alice?" I called, hoping my new grandmother would hear me and turn on the lights.

"She's not here Sheila." Dimitri appeared behind me, causing my body to go stiff. "No one is here. It's only you and me." His voice echoed in the darkness.

"What do you want?" I managed to speak, feeling my body tremble as my breathing began to increase.

"You want to be stronger and no longer weak yes? I just need you to loan me your body for a short amount of time. It's that simple really."

I honestly did wanted to get stronger, but not like this. My fear has began to take over my thoughts, I just want to get out of this room! "No." I answered shakily while gripping onto my dress.

"No?"  He questioned, having his tone sound as if he expected that answer.

"No. Now let me out." I answered, still only seeing blackness.

"Well... By force it is." After those words were said, I felt something pulling me down. I screamed as loud as I could, trying to fight my way out. Where am I going?

Alice's POV

I sensed something was wrong as I stared at Sheila, she looked as though she's having a nightmare. "Sheila?" Just when I was going to touch her, Cuff ran in the room.

"Miss! The shadow spirit is acting up! We need you!" The man shouted as some people started running off the opposite direction. I locked the door and followed Cuff to the room where the shadow spirit was being held in. Once I entered, I found Alucard and Sedrick fighting the creature.

"What happened?" I questioned, bringing out a potion bottle I kept for these types of emergencies.

"She suddenly started acting up." Sedrick answered as Alcuard showed his enjoyment towards the fight.

"He's struggling." Sedrick pointed out, still with the serious expression he has always kept.

"What do you mean? He's fooling around and enjoying himself." I pointed out, never enjoyed that vampire's company.

"He only smiles like that when he's struggling with an opponent. Something's not right." Sedrick muttered, then his eyes went towards the door. "You need to leave." He gave a small growl to his daughter and her husband.

"Well, as future Queen, I must make sure things go in order. Is that correct?"  Lillian walk over as she examined the situation.

"Artis? Where's Clara?" I questioned, not seeing my daughter in law with him.

"She went to go check on Sheila. Mother are you sure you can handle this?" Artis pointed to the shadow monster.

"I'm not sure." I answered, seeing Alucard losing, which is not a good sign. He is almost as strong as Sedrick,

"Are you certain you do not need any assistance?" Sedrick questioned with a bored tone.

"Nonsense! But if you wish to join the fun, then please be my guest." As of course, that's his way of saying, yes I need help.
.
Sedrick glanced over to us. "Be cautious, This spirit seems to be gaining more strength." He warned and joined in on the battle with Lillian and Anthony. The creature just simply fought back and shouting in a different language.

"Artis, I'll need your assistance with the magic, you better remember what I've taught you." I lectured, forming a snow like ball in my hand.

"Still treating me like a child mother?" He replied with a teasing smile as he copied me. "I am a grown man you know."

"Then help mummy out won't you?"  At the same time, both of us aimed at the shadow creature, freezing it to the ground in order for it not the move any further.

"Isha Das, you are causing more harm on yourself then needed." Sedrick warned, then he stopped. "Lillian?"

"You smell it too?" She answered with a frighten tone.

"Stay here." He ordered and left. Something wasn't right and Artis sensed it as well.

Clara's POV

"Shei...la?" I muttered, feeling my body going numb and all feelings disappear. The girl that I raised, was not here any more.

"You are suitable." She smiled darkly as her hand pulled out from my abdomen, having it covered in blood. I fell to the hard floor, staring at the women standing above me.

"You honestly did misused your magic did you? Such a waste, I'll make sure to use it properly." She touched my forehead mumbling a spell as I felt drained, not paying any attention to my screams of pain, then it stopped. I couldn't scream any more, I couldn't move at all. "Thank you for the heart. I'll put it to good use." The voice changed, it was a man's as my vision became a blur with my silent tears.

"Clara!" A voice came in. I wish I can tell them goodbye.

Sedrick's POV

"What did you do?" I growled, seeing the gram with a heart in his hand.

"I need some extra magic. With what little magic use this body has, I'm surprise this one isn't human. " The man gave a small smile as he tilt his head. "I wouldn't mind fighting you next, but not today. You have less then a minuet to say your goodbyes to that one." He pointed to Clara laying on the blood covered floor.

I tried to move quickly to get a hit on the man, he just simply appeared in a different area. "You've gotten slower." I answered coldly.

"Well, I do need some time to get use to this new body. Of course its bound to slow me down." He shrugged his shoulders, not giving a damn about the situation.

"Sedrick what's wro-Clara!" Artis ran in  the room and immediately went over to hold his wife. "Clara love?" He muttered,

"I'll take your invitation to fight Sedrick. Besides, since you've taken care of one of my servants, we'll call this even." He smiled as he walked through the wall, disappearing. I knew I wouldn't have been able to catch him, he would've ran off either way. I kneel down next to Artis as he held the women I raised.

"Rest easy Clara, we'll bring your daughter back." I spoke in an old native language as I closed her eyes gently. Now wasn't the time for me to grieve, I was never one to grieve, at least in front of others.

"Where is Sheila?" Artis questioned as he kept holding the lifeless body.

"That man is using the body, he just simply changed it to his liking." I answered and left him there to be alone. As I walked down the hall, I saw Lillian rushing over with Anthony.

"Father? What happened? Is Clara alright?" She questioned, nearly going past me until I stopped her.

"She's resting." I answered.

"I, what? Is she hurt?" Lillian questioned, not seeming to understand.

"She's no longer with the living Lillian. It was Dimitri's doing." Once I said those words, she stood still. I glanced over to Anthony, not needing to tell him to stay by her side right now. "I'll be with Alice." I patted her shoulder as I walked away, this was something I've grown familiar with. That is one of the curses of a long life spam, watching people die. Dimitri, you better hope your able to give me a worthy fight,

"Sedrick!" Alice called me, as she stood out from the door. "Something happened to the spirit."

"Alucard, you continue to place pressure, you'll break her neck." Cuff spoke in a emotionless tone as Alucard continued to place pressure on a women frozen to the ground.

"Oh I just like to see what a little foreign girl's blood would look like." He grinned, placing pressure on to the women as she gasps for air.

"Alucard." I warned, he knew the difference of my tone and let the girl drop to the ice floor.

"Leech." She coughed as she glared at him with those multi-colored eyes.

"How is it your living now?" I questioned, seeing her form was a young Hindi girl with long dark hair with one violet and one red eye. She was quite slim and short compared to Alice. She looked as though she didn't have any strength to fight anyone, though the appearance is deceiving.

"I'm not completely sure." She answered with a cold tone.

Cuff glanced at her and touched her head for a matter of seconds before speaking. "The spirit I felt around her is gone."

"She made an agreement then, that could be the only explanation on why she's suddenly living." Alice added, crossing her arms as she adjusted her brown bun.

"Kill as ordered, then given life. Perfect arrangement I believe." I remarked as I walked around her.

"I'll do a memory spell and see what I can find. It'll take a while." Alice warned as she took off her white gloves.

"Get it done." I ordered and walk away, this is what Cuff had predicted weeks ago. I suppose the rest is just going to happen as well. Lovely.

Percivell''s POV

It has became over a week since I last saw mother and Artis. I've begun to worry for Sheila and Isha as well. Couldn't they at least send a letter? This was becoming more troubling, not just for myself but for Mariette and her brother. Bollocks, even Mr.Summers would ask Leonard if Sheila has returned yet, and the rest of us vampires are not able to step outside this house. Who knew magic would actually work?

"So bored." Jaq muttered as he laid on the couch while Mariette read her book.

"Elizabeth left to go get some more books for us to read. She'll be back soon." Mariette muttered as she turned a page in her book.

Out of no where, Elizabeth came in arguing with Leonard, which was new. She hardly ever argues with him, well she did claim she was getting suspicious of a worker in the office. I turned around, trying not to look, but I couldn't help myself, and neither did the Leon siblings. The three of us peek at the couple as they argued.

"I'm just asking, why did you froze him Elizabeth? What did he do to deserve that?" Leonard crossed his arms against his chest while waiting for an answer.

"For one, he was a warlock and made you working to the point of passing out. You know I don't interfere unless its for a reason, but he needed to be taught a lesson." She answered, having her short blond hair sticking out slightly. I am assuming she was in a fight, since her hair was usually neat.

"And that lesson is by freezing him and nearly having you exposed?" Leonard  rose his voice, which made Mariette flinch by the tone.

"Well I am sorry darling if I wanted to make sure you kept your job." She gave a sarcastic reply. Something didn't seem quit right with Leonard, he was too short tempered.

"You do not interfere Elizabeth! Is that understood?!" He shouted and gave her a quick slap across the face. I was god-smacked by this. M brother was never the violet tpe, just when I was going to step in, Elizabeth's once bright eyes turned deep violet color as the room got cold.

"Darling, you should act much more like your brother don't you agree?" She gave a dark smile as her eyes glowed.

I knew Leonard hated being told that, Mariette had to calm him down several times. "Umm.. Elizabeth?" I tried to speak, then  she just used her abilities to turn the water into snow.

"Why don't you wash up?" She questioned and poured the snow on Leonard.

After she did that, Leonard's pen sparked and fell apart as he shook his head and shivered. "Elizabeth? What was that for?" He took off his jacket and shook off the snow.

"Well I am pleased to see your now your regular self and this." Elizabeth picked up the pen and tossed out the window. "Can rust outside."

"What just happened?" Mariette questioned nervously, not wanting to anger the snow fairy.

"That dirty Austrian warlock managed to get Leonard to do what he wants, which is why Leonard hasn't been sleeping at all. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to make us some tea." She smiled and went to the kitchen. Leonard was standing there, uncertain what just happened.

"My mind is still a blur, but did I slap her?" He questioned us with an uncertain expression.

"Yes." The three of us answered, still a little shock on what just happened.

"Elizabeth darling I'm sorry!" Leonard shouted as he ran to the kitchen, having the door closed.

"Huh, seeing him shout like that reminds me of when we were kids and he'd go running to mum."  I muttered, causing Mariette to laugh.

"Yes, but I don't recall Leonard shouting like that." She added as she placed her book down.

"Well, before you came, we were different. Sheila was very clumsy and frighten on being alone, I was a hassle and Leonard hated not gaining attention." I chuckled.

"But, you three were so well behaved when we met." She remarked with a curious expression. "Well, you three are like that now but not as bad." She added teasingly.

"Well... Eyon and mother had us straighten up. He didn't wanted us to look bad." I shrugged slightly. "Speaking of which, where is Artis?" I laid back, becoming curious and worried for my parents and sister.

"I send a special letter to your grandmother, she hasn't answered yet." James took a seat next to us. "I knew it took long, but they would have at least send us a letter." He muttered.

"Maybe something did happened?" Mariette questioned nervously.

"I'm not going to lie, but perhaps." He answered, not looking at us but at the glass of water at the coffee table, as if thinking of what else to say.

"Evening ladies and gentleman!" Anthony called out as he entered the room.

"Papa!" Mariette hurried over and hugged him tight. "Why haven't you contacted us? We've been worried sick about you." She examined her father, seeing few scratches on his face.

"Where's Mama and the others?" Jaq ask as he stood  up.

"She's helping your grandfather back in Romania. James, your mother needs some help with your brother. It's serious." He glanced over to James with the smile on his face gone.

"What happened?" Leonard questioned as he entered the room while adjusting his dress shirt.

"Percivell, Leonard, your mother has passed. There will be no funeral, the body has already been burned." He used a serious voice, which was something that I figured wasn't as common.

It felt like a stab through the chest, no pain just an injection that made everything numb when pain is suppose to be felt. "Where's Sheila?"

"She's missing, and Isha is being charged, they might kill her, but since she's willing to cooperate, they're sparing her life for now. " Anthony saw the expression of everyone. He said nothing, just stood there and waited for everyone to speak first.

"Why burn the body? She could have had a proper funeral.  She deserved one."  Leonard questioned, looking as though he wanted to snap. "And how could she have died? Yes she was sick, but she was becoming healthier each day. How can she just simply past away?" He tried to walk over until Elizabeth hold his hand, which made him not take a step more.

I saw how Anthony just stood there, no smile, but those blue eyes of his began to be exposed. "You right, she didn't simply just die, she was murdered. Murdered by a man that has also took your sister just for magic purposes. We burned the body's of witches and other monsters simply because to keep the peace. There have been many cases were monsters and witches were brought back to life and used as slaves to cause chaos to the living. In order to stop that, we burn the bodies. I apologize for your lost."

"This is all your fault Jacques!" Mariette shouted to her brother, then started yelling and screaming in French. On how fast she was speaking, I couldn't keep up. Then Mariette try to run to the door.

"Don't Mariette!" James tried to warn, but Mariette couldn't step foot outside the door. Every time she did, a small shock would hit her.

"Stop it!" I shouted and pulled her away from the door, she kept kicking it until I pulled her further enough away. "Mariette please stop!"  I begged, not wanting to cry as well, at least not now.

"It's his fault! It's his fault Aunt Clara died and Sheila's missing! It's his fault!"  She shouted more and begun to repeat it in French.

I placed her down and hugged her tight. "You don't mean that Mariette. It wasn't anyone's fault." I muttered and pat her back as she cried. "We'll find the man and you can tear him to shreds." I couldn't help but give a small dark grin. I was never the type to go and kill anyone, but this time, I was willing to make an exception.
Gahhh!!! We lost Clara! :(
Poor Mariette, that's pretty harsh with blaming her brother. 
What are your thoughts? What you think will happen?
How will Wolff react? And Perci just snapped. 
PLZ COMMET!!
