When did things go so wrong?
When did my sister change so much? When did she become so evil?
I remember my sister as a kind and loving person though she was a bit shy and withdrawn.
I only remembered that it all started when she first received her powers.
Ah, my dear sister gained the ability to control death and minds.
She was able to resurrect the dead and they would also come back to life as long as she wills it. Anyone was vulnerable to her ability to control minds. Once she got you, you were nothing but an obedient and mindless slave.
Perhaps that was when people started to fear her and shun her.
The Dark Witch.
The Princess of the Undead.
The Darkness of the Royal Family.
People started to talk about her but she never showed much concern or attention to the rumors and gossip surrounding her though me and our father were outraged by it.
If anything, she seemed to relish the way people feared her.
I never expected it to happen. She was such a kind and sweet girl…she wouldn't kill someone, right?
But she did on that fateful day.
Her dress stained with blood, the mad gleam in her eyes, the sword in her hands that was covered in blood, the body of the female servant in front of her.
She claimed that she was trying to test the limits of her powers-that she would resurrect him.
It was one thing to mess around with dead animals but a whole nother to kill a person.
The female servant was not my sister's only victim.
She killed many more times.
My father needed to do something about this.
She killed without mercy, without remorse.
He needed to punish my sister for her crimes.
By swift and harsh execution.
Yet deep down, he couldn't bring himself to kill his own daughter, his first born child.
So, he instead banished her to rot away for the remainder of her life in a mansion in the isolated countryside, guarded by the meanest and toughest of guards, and to never step foot in society again. Stripped of all her privileges and
It was life imprisonment in a golden cage.
Father's last act of mercy for his insane and murderous daughter.
I never heard from her again after that but I heard she killed herself after 2 years into her punishment. The guards found her
She left a suicide note saying that she was truly sorry for what she had done and that she was grateful for the act of mercy that she was given.
But she ended the note with a rather unusual note.
I will return. Just you wait.
My little brother, I will spare your life once I get what I want.
I mean it.
What in the world did that mean?
Years passed.
I fell in love with the most wonderful woman in the world. Years of courtship resulted in a happy marriage and two lovely children.
But tragedy strikes when we least expect it.
My beloved died and left me to take care of our young children-one of whom was only a baby-by myself.
I never remarried.
Years passed. My children grew up wonderfully and I'm proud to be the father of such amazing children.
But…I kept seeing her.
My sister.
She haunts my dreams and I swear I keep seeing her face everywhere.
I still think about her even though she is a monster and a cruel woman without a single shred of empathy or emotion.
It makes me question if the love and affection she had for me was real or she was faking it.
Makes me question if my sister just lost her mind and went crazy that day or if that was the real her all along.
But….I keep hearing a voice inside my head.
It's a woman's voice.
Why does it sound so much like my sister's?
Have I gone crazy?
