         -Everything here is strange and unappealing, I have found two rats under my bed and a cockroach in my soup. I shall count the days until I get to see my you and my sisters. Warn Tabitha and Paulina not to go through my closet and steal my shoes again. Do not let Rathio go out alone to the river with her horse. Tell Idaline and Nadine, Safrina and Selene to stop playing tricks on those strollers and make Etaine and Samantha help along. They're only 11 and 9 for heaven's sake. Seeing two pairs of twins near the cottage will give them nightmares. Remind Cecelia and Ethelisa to practice their instruments because I feel as I might want to hear them play when I return. I must go now. By the time you read this letter, I will hopefully be on my journey home so do not bother to send a letter.

Love,
Ofayle


With the curve of her pen, she ended her letter. She had not bothered to even read it for she knew there was nothing wrong. She put it in an envelope, sitting in an inn. The Queen had called her father to the castle but alas, he was ill so she would go in his place. She was the eldest, a Lady in her own right with a sword on her side. No one dared to move closer to her much to her confusion. For a night, she stayed in the inn as her horse needed a well-rest. She wasn't far from the castle, noticing it on the hill last night. After paying for her meal, room and sending her letter, the young woman left to ride into the Queen's castle.

Despite being a Lady in title, she had hardly seen her father leave the cottage for the castle ever since her mother's sudden disappearance. Her father fell ill for quite some time. Her sisters and her had never left the castle but she was up to the challenge. She listened to her father closely, follow the path and never leave. The Queen had called for her father so abruptly, they couldn't ready the carriage yet. She left that day with her family hugging her.

The weather has been extremely dreary for the past few days and Ofayle had thought it would be different in the castle. She was wrong. By the time she saw the castle, the sky had turned dark as if it was about to rain. She gave her horse to a stable, paying them in a few gold coins. In her leather boots, she made her way over to the castle of Queen Miranda. Halfway through, a guard stopped her. He looked at her suspiciously, noticing her dirty boots, dark cape and hugging clothes.

"I am Lady Ofayle of the Zwolfe family. I am here on behalf of my father, Duke Hugh who is ill. The Queen has called for him and I am taking his place."

         Uneventful, her life so far had been uneventful. Fired from her job and living in a small apartment with two other girls next to a drug addict who constantly screams and an elderly couple whose attempts to become young again kept her awake. Lydia needed a new job and this one with Genetechnics was her last hope. She had went through a lot these past couple of months, her exams seemed closer with every passing day. Her family depended on her.

"-Yeah, I just talked to Katria and Jameelia a few days ago." She told her father over the phone as she placed her empty bowl and glass in the sink. Her sister were over in some other university and probably had a better life than her as of now. Lydia held her phone between her ear and shoulder as she washed her hands through the tap for a second. She brushed over her only set of clothes that she considered office-wear. Black pants with a matching blazer and a plaid shirt. She also considered this outfit as funeral wear.

"Well, the girls miss you."
Hearing her father's soothing voice and her sisters in the background made her happiness levels bounce. "We know you're busy so just remember, we love you and good luck." She smiled briefly much to one of her roommate's surprise. She shouted in awe to which Lydia, promptly threw the first dishrag she could grab at her.

"Yeah, I love you too." She hated to admit it but she always had a soft spot for her family, "Tell Imolia, Helia, Gathia, Felicia, Elia, Demetria, Camilia, Benecia and Atheia, I miss them too. Okay, bye." She hung up the phone, putting it in her bag. Lydia looked up at the clock above her. Her interview was in fifteen minutes. She had to go soon or else, she'd miss it. Didn't want to make 'the Queen' waiting. "How did your parents name you guys?" Her ditz of a roommate, Fifi asked, "Were they on crack or something?"

"Shut up, Fifi. At my parents weren't on them when I was conceived." To which point, she walked out and slammed the door before Fifi could understand what she had meant. The subway was a great invention, it was quick, cheap and left her enough time to walk to the Genetechnics building. Entering the building was strange, it smelt weird. All fresh and clean. Moving over to the person behind the desk, Lydia spoke in the most formal fashion she could think of.

"Lydia Al-test-tay, interview with your boss for the job interview." Smooth move.

         Cain's snout turned to face the door, tilting his head to cock one ear forward. If he had to estimate, there seemed to be several of the local Darkwatch waiting outside the door. Looking to the hunter he whined and pointed his paw at the woman. He then gave a look that said "you're on your own" and he swiftly leapt out of the still open window onto the sill. He then tensed and sprang to the strange metal contraption that was on the side of the tall building and had stairs for some strange reason. After landing he stopped moving and listened for the outcome of the situation he had just left.

         Sibyl watched as the werewolf man suddenly ran away from her lab. "Shit..." she muttered, before getting up and running after him. He was a lot more fit than her, and before she could catch up he'd escaped into the streets of the city. Sibyl stood at the door, staring out into the street. She sighed, closing the door and returning to her lab.

She stared into the bowl on her desk, "Hello?" She waited for a reply, but none came. "Nathaniel!" She shouted, but there was no reply. "Nathani-" she stopped. "Right." She sighed, and looked down at her desk. After several minutes of thought, she picked up the phone and dialed.

"911, what's the nature of your emergency?"

Several minutes of explanation later, she was on her way down to the station in order to give a sketch of the injured and mentally unstable Nathaniel that had escaped from the labs.

         Queen Grimhild rose from her seat in front of the mirror. The mirror displayed the dear Miranda and her two wards prancing about in their lovely castle. The Queen grimaced and left her chambers, shouting as she went. "Garen! Prepare my carriage! I have a journey to make!" She stormed through the castle. Her curse worked; Cain's fate had proven that. Now she just needed to get the family into the proper position. As long as the other woman kept her side of the deal up, there was no way they could stop her.

But first, she needed to make an alliance. While her undead guards were strong, the could not easily infiltrate the castle; She needed to speak to the Master Thief.

         It was a short walk to the beachside gardens. As she suspected, Prince Ring and Princess Signy were expressing their love for each other in perceived privacy.

"My dear Ring! Signy! I have things to tell you!" Miranda yelled as she crossed the garden.
The two of them turned to look at her, clearly annoyed that she had in interrupted them, "What now, mother?" Prince Ring asked with an irritated tone in his voice, "Can't you see we're busy?"
Miranda lightly waved her hand, "Yes, yes, I'm aware," she awkwardly sat down next to them, "I simply wanted to inform you of the disappearances of many people of all kinds. Cinderella, Prince Charming, Alice... Just be careful my dears. Please? For me?"

Prince Ring looked at Signy then back at Miranda, "Fine, we'll be careful."

Satisfied with his answer, she stood up and floated back towards the castle and the gardens situated outside the throne room.

         Sibyl looked into the bowl of cooling fluid she now kept permanently on her desk, and was greeted by a much more hideous face staring back at her. The woman-if she could be called that-was giving yet another one of her ridiculous soliloquies about how she'd destroy her enemies and take back her throne once more.

"She thought she could take MY kingdom! HAH! We'll show that goody little Queen exactly what she's messed with, and THEN who'll be living in this ruin of a castle?!" Queen Grimhild screamed at the ceiling.

"That's all very nice," Sibyl said, "But we don't even know if this will work..."

"Of course it will!" the Queen snapped, glaring into her mirror, "Don't tell me you doubt me now..."

"Of course not!" Sibyl said quickly, pulling back from her pool and looking away from the deathly stare the queen was giving her. "I'm just saying we've never been able to test this, and it was pure luck that I was able to make contact in the first place..."

"Ah, but you didn't have me, my dear," the Queen cackled, "I can assure you; as long as you keep your connection active, this curse will coat the land with my wrath."

"But how will we know if it worked?" Sibyl asked.

"Don't worry; I've got that all worked out. Listen to me..."
