Heaven tastes like Sin

A/N: Alright in this chapter is going to jump ahead 10 years to where Medea has left the castle and has taken up her mothers mantle. But she is not the kind benevolent woman her mother was. Medea has her own agenda and will stop at nothing to take her brother down and claim the throne for herself. This chapter will take place just after fighting with the soldiers in Mourningwood.

Chapter 1: Nice doesn't get you anywhere.

Medea smiled as she aimed her pistol. "Say good night bitch." She laughed as she fired the gun and watched the bullet shatter through the head of the Hallow Man. She brought the gun to her lips and blew the smoke away, an evil smirk on her lips. Walter walked up to her with a concerned look on his face.

"Princess…that kind of language is very unbecoming."

Medea shrugged. "What do I care? C'mon, we have to get a move on. Bowerstone is just beyond this disgusting marsh." She said as she holstered her gun. She moved past the solders and through the marsh quickly. "Ugh, I am going to love being able to take a bath. How do people live like this? It's disgusting!"

Walter sighed as he walked behind her, watching with little amusement or satisfaction as the young princess hop, skipped, and jumped around on rocks to avoid the swamp waters. By the time they reached the entrance to the Bowerstone Sewers her complaining worsened.

"We are not going in through there! Walter it's disgusting!"

"We must do what we have to Princess, we can not just go waltzing through the front door. We had to run away in the dead of night. If we are caught now your brother will surly kill us."

"Not before I kill him." She said fiercely as she stalked into the sewers.

Walter walked behind his charge and sighed, wondering what had changed his little charge from a happy young girl to the cold heartless woman in front of him.

~~~Bowerstone~~~

Reaver stood in his office in the Bowerstone Factory and ruffled through his paperwork. He sighed as he thought back to the past 10 years. He had completely taken over Bowerstone Industrial and turned it into a thriving place of invention and industry. Now the King had gone nearly insane with his demands and he had also gone a little more insane with the loss of his sister, who no one had seen hide nor hair of in almost 6 months.

He shook his head and tapped his paperwork on the desk. "Medea…where are you now?" he said as he put his papers away, as he was closing the door to his safe he heard a commotion outside and walked out to the balcony to see a man trying to make his workers rise against him. Reaver rolled his eyes as he tapped his cane on the iron railing.

Silence filled the courtyard as he lifted his gun and took aim. "Now then, shall I rewrite my rules? Rule one: Anyone found not working on their shift shall be shot." He said with a smile as he shot the man in the shoulder, "rule two: Anyone taking a break when they shouldn't, will be shot." He fired another shot into the man's other shoulder, "and rule three: anyone not working shall be shot." He said shooting the man in the head. "Any questions?"

He laughed as he saw everyone scurry, except for one woman who stood next to an elderly man. He barely noticed the man but the woman captured his attention. She was dressed in dark clothing, a highway woman's outfit no less, the top was tight around her bust and showed off the curves of her upper body with the dark red corset. The tight black pants clung to her shapely legs and tucked into dark red boots. He continued to watch her as her eyes lifted up, and he could see that her eyes were a piercing shade of blue that he only knew could come from one family line.

"Kate…" He whispered, almost wishing it was true but then he saw something that made his blood chill.

The woman laughed, a cold hard sound and pointed at the man on the pedestal in the courtyard. "Did you see that Walter? That was hilarious!" She laughed.

Reaver then knew who that woman was and he smirked. She was the missing princess and she was not a sweet woman like her mother, but something darker, something more fun. He chuckled to himself as he turned his back on her. She was a darker angel than his beloved Kate…and he wanted her. And he knew that he would have her.

Medea watched as the man turned and walked away back into the building. She felt a pull to him and she didn't know why. "Walter…who was that?"

"That was Reaver, he seems to be one of your brothers right hand men."

"Reaver…he sounds…intriguing."

Walter looked with concern to his young charge; he was starting to regret taking her on this journey. Please forgive me Kate…I didn't think she had her father's dark tendencies. He thought to himself, as he lead her away to meet with the one woman who he knew could help them defeat the King.

A/N: Alright…there you go chapter one finally done. Eh it's all right, and I left a little something to shroud Medea's birth in mystery because we don't really know anything about the man that provided the other half of her DNA. More will be explained later! Promise! Hope you guys don't kill me over this completely boring chapter. Next chapter is some fun with the Masquerade Ball!
