Prologue

The air was still and so thick with fog that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face. Still, the woman ran with the sleeping child in her hands, she ran and ran and had no idea how long she had been running. She was exhausted and her legs were numb but the will to survive for her baby was strong so she pushed through the fog to the one place she could find safety from the evil that was following her.

Earlier that Day

It was a quiet night in a nice house a few miles from town. The occupants of this house, Mr. and Mrs. Haruno and their little baby girl who was only a few weeks old, were celebrating just being together- or they would if it wasn't for the strange absence of Mr. Haruno. And so the other two sat by the fire, one sleeping, the other gazing blankly into the flames.

'How could he forget our anniversary?'

She glanced to the table in the dining room, set with a lot of food that took hours of hard work to make although of course she had some help from a few of the servants that they own. The food was now cold and untouched and though she hadn't eaten all day none of the food looked appetizing.

'I mean come on he knew I was making dinner and it's not like he would forget. And his job…no he wouldn't need to stay late'

Mr. Haruno worked and managed the bank in town, which is why they could afford a decent house and a few servants.

'Although I guess it would be possible if there was a special client or a break in, but he would have called. No, something is definitely wrong'

She continued gazing into the fire until her eyes became heavy and she fell into a dreamless sleep.

Unknown to her, the back door creped open slowly as the man dragged himself in, the smell of alcohol trailing behind him. He didn't notice the food or his wife and daughter sleeping in the room; instead he slumped up the stairs and scampered into the nearest bedroom slamming the door behind him and crawling into bed.

The slamming of the door is what awoke Mrs. Haruno. She moved slowly as not to wake the sleeping child and laid her in her crib before tip-toeing up the stairs. The door creaked open to reveal her husband sleeping on their bed the smell of alcohol was in the air.

'The drunken bastard never even managed to get under the sheets'

The said 'bastard' mumbled something incoherently and rolled over to his other side. Getting closer the women took a better look at her husband. His hair was a mess and his shirt buttoned wrong and he just looked different. Something was very different.

'The last time this happened was on new years, but that's the only time we normally drink, or on a special occasion, but there's nothing today unless he was celebrating our anniversary without me'

She dismissed the thought and left the room to the guest bedroom next door, and opened the nightstand next to the bed. She found the note book she bought last week while in town from the traveling gypsies. Although her husband hated them, she loved to see the strange things and listen to their unique stories. She looked at its green and blue cover that was smooth and shiny, she loved there way the two colors were blended and admired it as she sat down on her bed. She reached over to grab a pen off her desk and opened the notebook carefully.

She opened to the first new page and enjoyed that pleasant smell for a moment before dating her entry and recounted the events of today in her new journal. She felt compelled to do so for unknown reasons but she kept writing until she had filled more than three pages. Just as she finished, she barely had time to hide it under her pillow before falling asleep.

The next morning Mr. Haruno awoke with a slight buzzing in his head, at least he thought it was his head because at the moment everything was numb. Then the events of the previous nights came back and he smiled in a way only he knew. He jumped in the shower and put on a fresh pair of clothes before heading downstairs. He was surprised to see servants holding his daughter instead of his wife. He placed a brief kiss on her forehead and then left strait for work. For some reason he was anxious to leave the house and the slight feeling of guilt that he only vaguely felt..

A few hours later Mrs. Haruno awoke still feeling sleepy. She went next door only to find that her husband's room was cleaned and no longer smelled of alcohol. She went downstairs, taking the baby and eating a piece of toast her maid offered. The baby smiled at her and began playing with her necklace. She couldn't help but smile back.

"When exactly did my husband leave this morning?"

"Right as the sun rose"

"Ah, thank you"

'That asshole, coming in late, drunk, and on our anniversary, the nerve!'

She fought back tears and quickly handed the baby to one of the servants. She stood up and went to get a shower before putting on fresh clothes and grabbing the baby's diaper bag. She went back down stairs and took her child and put her in the stroller. She went outside and walked towards town, she could really use a friend.

Meanwhile, at the bank, Mr. Haruno was in his office on the top floor, and was on the phone discussing the possibility of getting together again".

"No don't worry; we can meet at my place this time"

The person on the other line said a few things before he replied.

"Oh, don't worry ill think of something, she won't be a problem"

He continued a while muttering a few inaudible words before reluctantly hanging up.

On the other side of town, Mrs. Haruno sat on a comfortable couch in her sister's house. She had been able to keep herself from crying the entire time as she recalled the events to her sister.

"and I just don't know what's going on, its like he's forgotten I exist I mean these past few days he's been distant, and staying late at the office, and I just don't know what to do!"

Her sister gave her an understanding glance and let out a loud sigh.

"Look, your my big sis, I'm supposed to come to you for advice, and I'm no expert on these things, but if I had to guess, id say he's…well… cheating on you…"

Mrs. Haruno had nothing to say, she had already known it all along, she just didn't want to except it, but hearing so bluntly put, made her understand. She had been such a fool, how could she be so blind? Suddenly the tears she had been keeping back fell and she crumpled into a crippled heap on the floor.

"Oh, no sis, stop, I didn't mea…I …I could be wrong…and if I'm not…well its no need to cry…he's not even that cute...oh dear I'm not really helping…umm"

By this time Mrs. Haruno had managed to pull her self together, she didn't want to wake her baby that was the only thing important to her now.

"Oh, sis, I'm so sorry"

"No, your right, thanks, I just need to get some sleep, ill come by tomorrow okay?"

"Alright, get home safe"

An hour later, Mrs. Haruno was at home feeding the baby, when her husband walked in.

"Hello dear, how was your day"

Mrs. Haruno glanced surprised at her husband but was happy they were at least speaking.

"Fine, why are you home so early?"

"Oh, I uh, just wanted to spend time with you'

Mrs. Haruno glanced at him suspiciously but put on a fake smile.

"I'm afraid, dear, I'm going to have to go back into office later tonight, were installing a new security system, so I was hoping to give the servants the night off, and I don't want you to have to be here in this big place all alone, maybe you should stay with your sister…"

'Giving the servants the night off…stay with your sister…what the hell has happened?'

"Umm, okay sure no problem Ill probably be back later tomorrow then because I planned on going to see the gypsies again before they leave town"

"Yes, that's great, ill see you tomorrow then, I'm off to work"

'Huh? What has happened to my husband…I mean…letting me see the gypsies…'

Later that afternoon as promised, she returned with her baby to her sister's place. But as soon as she got there, she gave a quick explanation by saying she needed some more baby food, and then left heading towards the woods on the outskirts of where there was rumored to be an old fortune teller.

The house was fairly easy to find, she had grown up hear and remembered passing by it with her mother one day and being forbidden to enter but now she had to disobey that rule. Entering the small cottage type house, she saw shelves full of strange objects, and from the ceiling hung dead animals and bones and other odd monstrosities. The only light came from the one window at the back of the house. As a cloud moved from in front of the moon, light filtered in through the window, revealing an old woman sitting in a rocking chair peering into an old stone.

Without looking up she said "I knew you would come, I know what you are planning to do and I must ask if you understand the price you're going to pay?"

"Yes, but whatever happens to me I don't care as long as I can make my husband suffer"

She looked a bit surprised but nodded. She stood up slowly, her old bones creaking, and went over to some of the shelves and grabbed different items, and putting them in a small silver box. Mrs. Haruno watched without a word, she knew she could trust this woman, she was good at her job.

When the woman was done she handed Mrs. Haruno the box and explained exactly what to do with every item in the box. Suddenly she hesitated,

"I've been watching over every one of the people in this town, and my dear, as soon you made this decision I've known, and it seems to me you don't understand the-"

She was cut off by Mrs. Haruno. "It doesn't matter!"

"Very well but beware the danger that is to come"

Mrs. Haruno quickly left with goose bumps on her neck. She thanked her sister and took her giggling baby girl home. Her husband still wasn't home, but the servants were gone just as he said.

"Wow, he was serious, what is that bastard up to?"

She laid the baby down to sleep after a quick dinner. Then went upstairs to the guest bedroom she slept last night. She grabbed the green and blue journal and began writing in today's events and what she planned on doing tonight. As a later thought she added a few memories from her past, like her child hood, her wedding, and the birth of her daughter. Then she placed it in the silver box after removing the items previously enclosed in it and placing them in her skirt pocket.

Suddenly she heard the door open downstairs and hid under the bed with the silver box and the items she had received from the old woman. She heard footsteps on the stairs and she swore she heard her husband let out a passionate moan. Mrs. Haruno would not cry over her husband, instead, she hid the small silver box in the other skirt pocket and crawled out from under the bed. She tiptoed over to the other bedroom and was unsurprised to see the door closed. There was no way to open it without them noticing but it didn't matter. Instead she went and grabbed her husband's toothbrush out of the bathroom, and went down into the living room by the fireplace. She started a fire and had to force herself to ignore the sounds of passion coming from upstairs.

She removed the small dagger from her skirt and the jar of mashed bugs. Then she cut the palm of her hand and winced as the dagger dug deeper into her skin. And then smeared the blood in a circle on the floor in front of her, then she dipped the dagger in the bugs and used the juice to draw symbols in the circle, then saying a prayer to protect her from the consequences and the effects of the curse. She wasn't sure exactly which curse she was saying but she found it in an old book that belonged to her mother and she hoped it would make her husband suffer a painful life with his new lover.

As soon as she began reading the spell, there was a sudden chill to the air, and she could feel the clouds cover the moon. Suddenly her daughter let started crying, probably because she was scared, but none the less her husband heard and was down the stairs in a matter of seconds. He saw the markings on the floor and the dagger in her hand. He was infuriated at the sight and picked her up by the shirt and shoved her against the wall.

"You bitch what are you doing?"

"Now, now, don't be so hard on her; you can't help but to be jealous"

Mrs. Haruno was now completely frozen at the man in front of her.

"But, but, how…I mean a… a…"

"Man?"

For in fact a man stood in front of her completely naked except for a pair of shiny purple boxers. His whole body, muscular but not super buff, was pale and contrasted with his pitch black waist length hair. To be honest he was scary with snake like eyes and sharp teeth, so something in her wondered why her husband was attracted to him.

The man let out a horrible laugh and then went over to Mr. Haruno and gently grabbed his hands, alloying Mrs. Haruno to fall to the floor, and then helped her up walked towards the curse mark on the floor.

"I really must thank you my dear for you have done what your mother wouldn't, you have used the curse I placed in that book, that will give me the power I need to become what I once was."

"What are you talking about, this curse is supposed to kill my husband!"

"Yes well I will take care of that for you because you see; the curse that you set upon him was me!"

The man placed his hand in the center of the circle and said a few words and a black light surrounded him and he let out a sharp cry as if in pain but it then turned into a shrill laugh.

"You have given me the power your grand mother took away, and all I had to do was seduce your husband and get you jealous enough to visit that old hag servant of mine."

"What? She…but…"

"Yes, I well…let's just say I did her a favor"

Mrs. Haruno was scared stiff, he was moving towards her husband with the intent of killing him.

'Oh no what have I done/'

Mr. Haruno who had hardly been able who follow all of this, just stood there with a seductive grin, for he had misunderstood his 'lover's' look for a sexual one.

Without waiting to see what was happening Mrs. Haruno ran to her baby who at this point was screaming at the top of her lugs. She then ran through the front door but not before seeing her husband having the blood sucked out of him.
