Rogues' Hideout

From behind a bush, Allicent had watched Gabriel's fighting. She materialized in the bloody clearing a minute after he left. Her long dress swept the ground, the leaves beneath rustling when she passed. The smell of death clung into the chilly atmosphere, but she appeared more scary than death itself.

But in her composed complexion lied a yearning so deep she'd get into unseen heights to reunite with her son. The years of absence had robbed him her motherly love, and instead, he was raised amongst vampires.

She cast her eyes towards the direction Gabriel had disappeared to. If only she had a chance to be close to him again. If only she could tell him who a actually was. And thanks to the bite, he had started unleashing the darkness in him. Now he needed to control it.

Taking a final look around the mess Gabriel had caused, Allicent materialized into thin air, completely disappearing out of sight.
