ᏋᏁᏓᎾᎩ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ꮙictorian Ᏸlood Victoria's POV My corset begins to feel tighter and tighter on my slim body as I take shaky breath after shaky breath. The long gown I had been forced to wear flows around my calves slowing any movement I decide to make. This is a bad idea. The candle I'm holding quivers in my unsteady, pale hand. Why did I come out here? I remind myself of the scream that awoke me this night. I shiver. "Get it together Victoria!" I whisper to myself. I turn the corner my long blonde hair whipping around my face, getting in my mouth and covering my light blue eyes. As I pull it away I see a person hunched over something. On the floor there is a sort of red paint... Hmm it seems kind of dark to be- Oh my god! It's, it's all, blood. It seeps across the tiles toward me slowly but surely. I clasp a hand over my mouth so the figure can't hear me gasp. I see the thing or the who this person is crouched over. I also, thinking back, recognize the scream. The blood drains from my face as the realization hits me like a hard slap. It belongs to the duchess. My mother.
Scarlet's POV I looked up, my face covered in a black mask. I swore under my breath as I removed the knife from the duchesse's body. "Just what I need a witness." I thought. I watched her, she was absolutely petrified. I smirked, she was going to be easy. I stood up to my full height and slowly walked towards her. Making my everymove seem like her last. The fear in her eye's told me that she was either going to stand there frozen or run and scream. She screamed. I swore and ran the other direction. "This was not part of the plans." I thought. I jumped out of a window and onto the roof. I ran along it and jumped off, landing in a huge pile of hay. I jumped out and whisteled. My jet black stallion came running towards me. I jumped onto his back and rode off into the darkening night. --------------- Yes! IM THE VILLAN!!!
New update!! Victoria's POV I run in the other direction dropping the candle to the floor it clattering against the tile. I don't care where this person goes or what happens now, all that matters is finding the police and stopping this murderer. I would do it myself if I wasn't a woman but hey, what can you do? Oh don't understand? Here let me explain. Women do not have the same privileges as men do so we are in turn not allowed to have the same jobs as men. My dream career is to be a police detective and solve crimes just like this. Well I cannot. I reach the police and look around. 24/7 service my ***. No one is there so I rush out. I curse at my long gown waving around my feet. It's bad enough I can barley see in this darkness especially since the lanterns have already been turned out already, but thanks to this lovely gown my mother forced me to wear I am tripping with every other step. A wave of regret washes over me. My mother is dead and I am worrying about a stupid dress? I slow to a halt and sit on the cobble stone ground not knowing what else to do. Through the shock I cannot manifest a single tear. The stars in the sky seem to be mocking me with their brightness and always seeming to know where and what to do. A thought crashes into the front of my mind. I know exactly where to go.
Scarlet's POV I reached my huge manor and smirked. That girl didn't have a clue. I walked inside greeted my butler and gave him my cloak to hang up. I walked into my study, there waiting for me were my boys. Or if you prefer, my loyal gang members. "How did it go mistress?" I sat at the head of the table with a smile. "Everything went perfect..... Except for one thing." The boy's leaned forward in their seats. "What happened?" One whispered. I smiled. "There was a..... Witness." Gasps sounded in the room. "Did they recognize you?" I shook my head. "No but! The witness was her daughter." The men laughed. "That girl? Then really there's nothing to worry about!" I leaned back in my chair while my butle poured me a shot of brandy. "My dear friends. I have a feeling that this..... Girl. Is going to be trouble." "Then.... What should we do?" I smiled gently. "What have we done in the past? We've..... Removed the witness..... And we now.... Will remove her." I smiled as the boys cheered. "Better watch out girl." I thought with an evil gleam in my eyes. AWW YEAH!!! I'm an awesome evil chick lol
