Chapter One: The secret

A small solitary figure slowly walked through the graveyard as the moon's glow shined down upon the ground exposing her fragile porcelain skin and long silky black hair that fell in soft ringlets just above her waist. She stopped in front of a smooth marble tombstone and like a puppet whose strings were cut, collapsed to her knees in front of the marble slab. The girl delicately placed a single blood red rose upon the cold New England grave.

"Hello Mommy," The girl whispered softly as a sad smile formed on her elfish face. "It's been a while, I'm sorry I have not been able to visit you recently." She said shaking her head slowly to clear her thoughts, "Mommy, why can't I stop thinking about him, every time I close my eyes I see his vivid emerald ones staring at me. He tried to force me to marry him and almost killed Dad; he's egotistic, selfish, and disgusting." She said only to pause wondering if she should tell her Mother something about the very man she was talking about causing a sigh to pass her plush ruby red lips. "I have a secret to tell you mommy, but you must not tell anyone else," She whispered as lips twitched upwards in sweet smile, "When Barbara and Adam left for the Neitherworld I went into the attic to look around, one night when Dad and Delia were fighting I went up there to go to sleep, when I did he entered my dream and showed me his world. I got to know him and he really was not that bad, amazing actually, I went up there everyday to see him. He scared me some times, yet I know he would never hurt me." She confessed quietly as she sat in silence for a few minutes to peer at the moon causing her intriguing purple eyes to turn black in the moon's eerie glow.

"You look so much like you mother," A rough time aged voice said behind her disturbing the once silent night. Startled by the sudden intruder the girl turned around and weakly rose to her feet looking as if her thin legs would give out from under her. She observed the tall heavy-set women in front of her in confusion.

"Excuse me, how do you know my Mother?" She questioned as she looked into the pale blue eyes of the women suddenly feeling her stomach tighten, anxious to get away from this women in front of her.

"You can say we were old…friends, we go way back. I was…distressed when I found out she died in that fire Lydia, but I am not here to talk about your Mother. Do you really think that you were able to see the Maitland's just because you are strange, or any ghost for that matter?" The Women asked as she stared into Lydia's frightened purple eyes the same way a hungry predator would stare at its helpless prey.

"How do you know about that?" Lydia whispered in disbelief as she slowly started to back away from the menacing women in front of her, "Who are you?" She asked only to see a twisted smile cross the women's face.

"The real question, Lydia, is who are you?" The Women said before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Lydia slowly watched the smoke rise up into the dark night sky until it was completely gone before she turned back to her mother's tombstone wondering silently about what just happened. Sighing, she turned her delicate wrist and pulled up the black fishnet sleeve as she saw her watch strike 12:00am. A small smile crossed her lips as she silently said happy birthday to herself only to notice a beautiful silver amulet appear on her Mother's Tombstone, the large Gemstone in the center was constantly changing colors from red, blue, green, orange, yellow, and finally grey. Curious , Lydia reached out to pick it up, yet as soon as her delicate fingers grabbed the amulet it turned a stunning purple before starting to sink into her flesh. Scared Lydia tried to take the amulet off only to feel her body burst to flames from the inside-out. Screaming in agony, Lydia fell to the ground. The last thing she saw was strange symbols going up her arm before her vision went dark.

"It has begun," An unearthly voice hissed as he looked at the tall women bowing before him, nodding her head in agreement,

"Yes, the girl's body absorbed the power of the amulet. Within weeks her true form will emerge, with her you will be invincible." The women stated as the dark man before her began to laugh cruelly.

"Excellent." He said only to be interrupted by a weak feminine voice from the corner of the room.

"You will never get her Nadir, the prophecy states that No one but her true love will have access to her powers." The women whispered as she glared hatefully at the dark figure in front of her with blood red eyes. She tugged relentlessly on her chains cause lesions to reopen, as the life giving substance began to pour down her frail body

"That is where you are wrong, my dear," Nadir said as he began to transform into the shape of a man, "If she will not love me than I will just have to take her by force and steal her soul," Nadir said with a evil grin as stood up from his throne showing off his new lean body and gothic attire before he began to walk out of the room closely followed by the tall women. It was not until the door shut completely and their footsteps fade away did the Women speak again.

"To bad, my daughter already loves another, and not even taking her soul will give you her powers." She said as her ember red eyes dulled and slowly closed as she gratefully fell unconscious.
