"Because demons work in mysterious ways. They do what befits them, or gives them joy. What those things are is a question may would like to know." One of the maids spoke out, stepping forward the balcony. The other maids in the room began to eye the maid who spoke. Brown hair, brown skin, a regular person upon glancing, but the maid had been seen following Winter around the castle. She started working not long after the tragic incident with the rest of the royal family. So she arose much suspicion with the staff of the castle. "But see it as a blessing, not many see a demon and live to tell the tail."
Winter walked back inside and sat on her bed. "What do you mean by that?"She stood up and smiled. Suddenly, the whole room turned black and all she could see was two pairs of glowing eyes. She let out a loud scream.
A piercing scream came to the maid's ears. Before she even registered the scream , her eyes met with dark wings that seemed to have sprouted from Winter's back. The maid smiled, just what she hoped to see.
Her smile faded as she saw the other maids about to rush to Winters side. She raised her arms and stopped the maids from getting any closer to Winter. Staring at Winter, she seemed out of it, looking at something that wasn't there. As if seeing something they weren't able to see. If the brown haired maid was right, Winter's mind wasn't aware of what was really in the room. Judging from the scream, whatever she was seeing wasn't pleasant. Getting close to her might be dangerous.
"Miss Winter! Can you hear me!" Miss Winter!" The maid began yelling in hopes that she could possible snap her out of what she was seeing.
Winter stopped screaming and wad now crying. "Please..Why won't you leave me alone?" She said. Then, the vision faded and she was back to normal. Seeing them scared, she said, "I'm sorry.."
"It's fine Miss Winter." The maid let her arms flow back to her sides, and the other maids rushed to Winters side to make sure she was okay. The Maid remained where she was standing. Her face seemed to take no heed to the events that just happened. "Are you okay Miss Winter. Are you Feeling ill by any chance?" The Maid looked no where near worried about Winter's condition. The words sounded foreign from her mouth.
Winter was marvelled at what had happened. "But how did my demon side activate? It only happens when I'm in danger." She looked at the ground. "I don't really feel good. My head hurts." She swayed on her feet.
