Chapter Three: The Silent Spell

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A cool spring breeze moves itself across a small Russian village. Everything is quiet and only the birds can be heard from outside. In the heart of the village a park lies with a few local trees. Smack dab in the middle sits a nineteen year old girl on a bench.

She has long blond hair and soft brown eyes. The wind blows her hair off to the side. Looking up slowly the girl notes it is getting dark; standing she begins to walk home.

Half way there the girl stops at a news stand to pick up a local paper. After paying the teller she starts her journey back home; paper in hand. Five minutes pass and the girl opens the paper reading every detail she can.

Not noticing where she is walking she takes a wrong turn and ends up down a dark ally. Still not noticing she makes a couple of more turns until all becomes dark. Folding up the paper she holds it to her chest as she looks around, "Where am I?" she whispers softly to herself.

A quiet yet maniacal laughter is heard from behind her. Eyes widen in terror she turns around to face the other's presence. But to her own amazement there are only a couple of trashcans behind her. A needed sigh of relief escapes her lips but that moment of security is quickly taken away, as a dark figure grasps her shoulder from behind.

The blond lets out an ear defining scream as she swings around. In front of her stands a teenaged girl, about the same age, with long raven black hair and pitch black eyes.

"W-who a-are you?" the blond asks shaking.

The dark teen just smiles as she removes her hand from the other's shoulder, "My name is not important." Her voice is filled with hatred and the graving of death.

Beginning to fear for her life the girl quickly tries to push past the other but it is no use. The dark haired girl pushes her back; an even more sinister grin plastered on her face, "You're not going anywhere"

Tears begin to sting the blonde's eyes as she notices a knife clutched inside her capture's hand, "W-what a-are y-you going to do t-to me?" Clear salty tears now fall down her cheeks in a quicker pace.

"What I want is what you have, miss Angel Umino." Her voice once again sounds cold and frightens the one called Angel.

Her eyes are now blinded with tears and no words seem to escape her lips.

Suddenly a red and gold staff appears in the right hand of the unnamed girl. Angel dries her tears quickly in order to see what is held. The staff glows a dark color as it is held ever so carefully.

Being now able to see, Angel notices an inscription on the staff. It reads "Princess of Darkness". Stepping back Angel realizes that she is in grave danger. The Princess of Darkness is a well known killer in Russia and never has she been caught.

Stifling a laugh the dark princess answers Angel's unspoken question, "For so long I have been watching you. For so long your soft beautiful voice has been calling my name. Angel Umino, tonight I stand in front of you, staff in hand, finally ready to achieve my goal!"

Horrified Angel starts shaking but before she can plead for her life the staff strikes the ground and all goes dark.
