Chapter 1: Visit from a Witch
The night was dead silent, for not even the crows, the choir of death, dared break that silence in her presence that is the presence of a witch. The wind was weak, which made the environment around her seem in a standstill. She eyed the gravestone through the black veil with her emerald green eyes to make sure everything that was carved on it was true about him. The woman knelt down and placed a bouquet of half a dozen red roses on the grave.
She wore all black from head to toe. It was the preferred color of dress at a funeral, but there was nobody else, but her standing by his grave. No one else came to pay their respects. No priest came to guide him to heaven, and no other relative was there to say goodbye, bring a tale of good news, or even tell him they understood why he did what he did.
"I've finally found you. Did you make it up to heaven? Did 'They' show you the way? Or are you someplace below this hell? They've all gone, one by one, where they are in the afterlife, I do not know. All I know is that I'm the only one left." Monica said solemnly.
She clenched her right hand around her hair from under the veil and grabbed the dagger in her left, and in an instant, she cut her long, black hair. The strands of black fell gently to the ground like a raven's feathers. Monica then ran her fingers over the name carved on the ice cold gravestone.
"Don't worry, it's coming to end. Soon I will join you in the afterlife, where ever you are, but not until I have taken the lives of the Vatican. When the moon is new, I shall paint Rome in the loveliest red it deserves." She said darkly gripping the rose dagger.
Monica straightened herself up, and walked away from her loved one's gravestone towards the waning crescent moon that in a few nights would soon be new. The witch dressed in black was determined to bring the souls of the Vatican down with her.
