Something Wicked This Way Comes..
Orders were clear, they were to sneak into the Valentines day celebration and take the girl, Mirabelle Santiago, alive. Failure was not an option. Luciana would accept nothing less than success, as tonight was their only chance for many moons to come and the girl would be vulnerable. Julian was in charge of using illusionary type magic to trick Mirabelle into believing he was Reiji, while Klaude simply had to play the role of Angelo, Mirabelle's recently deceased older brother. Considering the vampire was intoxicated, Lucianna assured Klaude that he would be perfectly safe. He simply had to play his role well, and not get too emotional. Angelo, whom Klaude had a natural resemblance to in the first place, was very withdrawn and quiet. Arguably, Klaus had the easiest job of all, but that made him nervous. What if the blonde vampiress was not inebriated enough? Would she really fall for such a thing?
Now, one might wonder why Klaude and Julian were doing the witch's bidding. While it's not well known, both men were direct Santiago descendants. but Klaude was one of the last remaining of the descendants that even vaguely resembled the original Santiago family. Luciana managed to stumble upon the coven during her travels and decided to help them flourish, but she could not watch over what little remained of the human Santiago family forever. Instead, she would supply them with five experienced leaders to keep them safe. However, her intentions were not entirely altruistic. She wanted to make the Santiago vampires pay their dues, and using their human coven would help her enact her revenge. Elizabeth and Edward had a price to pay, as they stole their children from the Santiago coven when they turned them all into vampires. Luciana's mother helped Elizabeth with her fertility issue, but it meant that she would have to give up three of her children in the future to the coven. Unwilling to do so, Elizabeth and Edward devised a plan, using their own magic to turn their children into something useless to the Santiago coven. Enraged, Mirabelle was kidnapped and tortured, but now Luciana would help the Santiago family undo what has been done. She finally perfected the spell that would turn them all into humans again, well, sort of.
Luciana chose five of the healthiest and strongest of the Santiago coven for the sacrifice, as the Santiago vampires would need a human vessle. Their original bodies would almost immediately decay under the spell, as they were too old so fresh host bodies were needed. When Klaude located Mirabelle, he nudged Julian and the dark haired male morphed into a perfect replica of Reiji. The two men approached the blond vampire, Julian scooping Mirabelle into his arms, "Shhh. Love, I'm here now. I'll make everything better, Belle. I found a surprise in the woods." Julian cooed skillfully in Reiji's voice, stroking blonde locks out of her face. From the crimson eyes to the voice, Julian's glamor was a complete success. He carried her over toward Klaude, allowing her to see him. Klaude frowned a bit, irritated by this. The woman in his cousin's arms was their ancestor. She was a vampire, yet in this state, he could not help pitying her. She was still just a girl, they were kidnapping a girl while she was vulnerable. He felt like such an asshole, but since Luciana had his sister captive to assure his return, he would do anything necessary to protect Rosalie. The two men were off, Klaude making sure that no one saw them retreating into the woods with Mirabelle in tow, using a cloaking spell to remain invisible. The only ones who could see the three of them were each other, "Angelo has been hiding out in the woods. We buried him alive. He survived his wounds and has been hiding out in the woods. He discovered something amazing Belle. It will help us protect our family from the threats we have been facing." Julian explained as they continued deep into the woods. He was walking slowly to preserve his energy, as he was not nearly as strong as a vampire. With the cloaking spell lifted, Klaude carefully examined Mirabelle, ready to use magic to detain her if she grew suspicious. They wouldn't have a lot of time to restrain her, so he had to keep his guard up. A witch fighting a vampire was very dangerous, even if there were two against one. They had to be cautious, even when she was in this state.
When they arrived at the stone slabs, Rosalie was chained down, and Mirabelle was torn from Julian's arms. Julian then held Klaude, who attempted to lunge forward to rescue his sister, now painfully aware of what was going on. Mirabelle was going to be placed in Rosalie's body, initially killing his sister, even if her body would continue to live on. He began screaming, but Julian put him in a chokehold, and Klaude soon fell limp, Julian releasing his unconscious body letting it roughly collide with the ground. Luciana forced Mirabelle's mouth open with the wave of her hand, magic prying it open whether she liked it or not, and she poured garlic extract down the vampire's throat to keep her weak. Several men helped chain Mirabelle to the vacant slab next to Rosalie who was bawling. The girl was quite young, no older than Mirabelle herself when she became a vampire. The young witch begged and pleaded to be set free, but was ignored by all. The moon became visible as the clouds shifted, lighting the area around them, and Luciana immediately stood over Mirabelle and Rosalie, placing one pale hand on each of their heads. She began chanting in an old language, far older than even Mirabelle and her siblings, and Mirabelle would soon feel her soul being ripped from her body and toward Rosalie's in an agonizingly slow manner. The young witch let out a blood-curdling scream as the chanting began, and the small coven began chanting with Luciana as if they had not heard the pained cries.
Julian released his glamor, no longer resembling Reiji at all, smirking as the spell began to work, "Nothing personal, darling." Julian chuckled at Mirabelle as the spell continued to tear her from her immortal body, albeit a lot quicker now that the entire coven was chanting alongside Luciana. Julian began chanting with the rest of the coven as well, and the moon suddenly began to turn pink. Once the entire moon was bright pink Rosalie's body began to glow as her soul left her body. Rosalie's soul dissolved as it exited her body, the glow dying and Rosalie's body now vacant for Mirabelle's soul to possess.
