Madeline Rose had only ever worked in her father's local blacksmith shop and occasionally helped her mother at the farm. Her skin had become tanned from the hot sun, but despite all of this, she did not complain. Even though she didn't come from a wealthy home, she was content. 



However, her life turned upside down when she stumbled upon a darkness that refused to leave her alone. 




There was him, a man cloaked in mystery and malice, a presence that sent chills down her spine. His eyes, shrouded in shadows, held a depth of darkness that seemed to swallow the light around him. 





When their paths crossed, Madeline felt a cold dread wash over her, as if she had invited a malevolent force into her world.

The Devil's Embrace

Thunder rumbled. Everything soon felt like a daze to Sarah. In her dying state, she blinked, watching the last bit of moonlight shining brightly above.

Amidst the torment she felt, there was peace flowing inside of her. A peace to reunite with the one she loved.

"I'm coming home to you. I'm coming," she whispered and gave up the last of her breath.

Too late was her mother to reach the scene, too late for her mother to stop what had happened, and too late for her mother to not have thought of Sarah and her powers, of how strong and resilient she was.

When she arrived and cradled Sarah, guilt overcame her. "If only I had known you would go through all this pain, I would have let you live normally," she cried, shaking her head in dismay, "I should have never turned you this way."

"Oh my child," she brushed her lips on Sarah's temple, "I am so sorry, my child."
