Thread: The curse that corrupts all [HimekoxTinyThings]

It had been several years since the war against the dark council of witches. Years since the curse had been placed upon her family, granted her family didn't speak much of the curse, after all why should they? It was something they were ashamed of it and ashamed of their dark secrets they had kept hidden from their daughter. Walking down the halls of their castle, Layla Sunsorrow sighed heavily to herself. She was bored and all of her studies for the day were over. For years she had felt all alone, for years she felt that deep down inside something was missing in her life, or someone. She could feel a strong link with someone who was very distant from her, yet whenever she tried to talk about it to her parents they just shrugged it off and told her she was just imagining it. Still, she knew that they were wrong, that they were hiding something from her and she knew it. For years her family had rigorously had her trained to be a priest of the light, ever since she was old enough to be trained. As she continued to walk the halls she found herself walking towards her parents chambers. No! For years we have kept her safe from all of this! For years we have sheltered her from knowing about this and damn it Freya we are not going to ruin EVERYTHING we have worked so hard on by just telling her about this! The screams of her father could clearly be heard from outside their door. Ears twitching Layla could tell they were talking about her, so leaning in closer to the door so she could hear what was going on. But she has to know Draven! Her birthday is tomorrow and she has been asking us questions for ages now. It is time that she knows the truth, it is time that as her parents that she should know about our curse and the fact that her older twin was left to die in the woods! Clearly if she has been sensing her twin then that means that we failed and that her sister did not die in the woods like we had thought and hoped would. You know that twins have a strong connection to one another, and if we don't take precautions now we may lose our child who wasn't cursed at birth! Her mothers voice raged on. Curse? So it is true... And wait... I have a... A... A twin? A older twin at that?! What do they mean by they left her there to die in the woods and they failed?! Her mind was racing now and she heard it all. So this entire time that she knew she was right... All this time she knew they were hiding something from her, and now... Now she was proven to be right. Tears swelled in her eyes as she slowly backed away from the door and started bolting to her room. I knew it! She screamed as she slammed her door shut and ran over to one of her empty bags in her closet. For years I knew they were hiding something from me! But I never imagined that my family would hide from me the fact that I had a older twin! She shouted as she started flinging stuff into the bag. How could they do that?! How could they live with themselves like that?! Knowing that they tried to kill off my only sibling! She continued on as she finished shoving what she needed in the last bag. I'm going to her, if she is in fact alive still... I need to at least see her. I cannot continue to live in this... This place knowing what they did to her! She finished as she grabbed the two bags and jumped out the window, using her levitate spell to keep herself from falling to her death. She walked over to one of the stables and opened the door and went inside. Hey there old friend. We are making a long trip and I know I can't do it alone without you. She spoke softly to the hawkstrider in front of her as she petted his head gently before taking the reigns and leading him outside. She fixed her bags on the each side of him and then got up on his back and she gripped the reigns in her hands and made her way into the woods. On the way her mind was still spinning from what she had heard not too long ago from her parents bedroom. She still couldn't believe they had kept this hidden from her for so long. She didn't know where she was going aside from the fact that she was heading into the woods, which was forbidden to everyone from entering. From what she had read there were powerful monsters and beasts in there, creatures that no one knew of. The reason for that was those who entered the woods, never came out alive. But she knew that her parents had gone in there to dump off her elder twin and clearly her twin was still alive, so the books had to of been wrong, right? After a few hours of traveling she could see the edge of the woods. Well boy, this is it. There's no turning back now, not like I'd want to. Lets keep moving on. She spoke softly to her friend as they made their way into the woods. After a while of being inside the woods, she could see that things were slowly changing around her. The woods looked normal outside but after being inside and going in deeper, it was not as normal looking as it seemed. There were vibrant flowers and exotic plants that she had never seen before, hell even the trees had odd plants growing on them. She was amazed at how beautiful this place was and the deeper she got in, the further away from being able to turn back was slipping from her. Little did she know she had caught the attention of many things in here, but more importantly, she was being followed by some sort of beasts. This place is amazing... It doesn't seem so dangerous in here. She stated as she went in deeper, yet still being followed.
