"You remind me of the famous witch hunters, Hansel and Gretel." He watched her carefully.
"I do?" She faked a surprise.
"Yes...so pray tell, what will you do if you came across a witch or warlock?"
Her eyes scanned the area first before they rested on him again. A smirk appeared on her face as she gave a reply.
      "I'd burn 'em to ashes milord."
...

      Cries filled the air, cries of women, children and men who were caught up in the fire or who lost a loved one. It was a horrible and grievous night...many died.
      A little girl lamented and wailed out loud for her mother, she had a terrible ghastly and painful burn at her left foot. No one answered her, no one paid heed to her.
Amidst the sorrowful weeping of people, four brothers where instructed by their parents to escape as fast as they could.
While running, one spotted the little girl and went to help her without minding his brothers continuous shout of disapproval.
       "Hold on tight, make sure you don't let go!"
The boy instructed the girl and she nodded with teary face while tightening her hold round his neck so she wouldn't fall off his back. The five tried as much as they could to escape.
What happened that night left a deep scar.
       But who would've thought that these young youths would grow up differently. No one...
They ruled over a small village, they became strong and shared an unbreakable bond...but will that bond last?
The little girl they took in as their sister turned out to be their most desired obsession...
Will the brothers despise each other?
Will their obsession ruin their bond?

PRISTINE BROTHERHOOD

 When she got into her work room, she shut the door behind her and bolted it so no one would disturb her. 


 She leaned against the door and slowly slid down to the floor. Her lashes were wet again with tears and her eyes looked dull. 


She sat on the floor with her legs sprawled everywhere but her dress covered them. She just wanted to be left alone and sulk. 


 She sniffled and wiped the tear stain at her cheek. Her eyes stared ahead, looking at nothing in particular. 


How could she let him go just like that? 


She had to confess...yes...she definitely had to! 


 At least he hadn't confessed to Dinah and Gladys was hundred percent sure Dinah didn't have feelings for Humphrey. 


 But what if she confessed and he decided to keep a distance from her? 


What if he rejected her? That can be very possible. 


 Her mind screamed in desperation as it thought of a good way to handle the matter.
