Synemyoa: Here's another update, as promised. :) I'll make sure to upload the chapters one by one, and finish it within this month. ;) ENJOY!

Everyone had come to the meeting place as promised. But what awaited them in their sanctuary was something unexpected and dishearteningly unbelievable. Right before their very eyes, Lady Caterina stood over an unconscious body, bounded by thick ropes. She was Meia, second in power to their famed leader. Her already pale complexion looked even worse than before, red splotches appeared all over her limp form and bloody pentagrams were carved right in the middle of her forehead, her wrists and two more on her feet. Five, their sisterhood's number, the points of their star... the Goddess' numerical symbol.

"Lady Caterina! What is the meaning of this?!" one among her followers shouted, as they all watched in horror what their trusted leader had done.

"She will be an offering, for the greater good of our powerful organization. She did put up a fight. She was a fool. She wouldn't even cooperate for something that would benefit us all!" As these venomous words came out of her mouth, she slowly turned to her sisters. Her eyes were yellow, her lips in a wicked smile no one has ever seen her wear and in her left hand they saw a dagger, blood dripping from it.

"L-Lady Caterina, s-s-stop this m-madness at once!" another voice, shaky and scared shouted.

"It is of no use, Helena. She is no longer our respected leader. I can see it in her eyes, she is slowly losing the light of her soul." Agusta, the eldest of them all said gravely.

"But how can that be? That can only happen if she had made a forbidden pact with a different Goddess!"

"Does this mean, Lady Caterina has betrayed us all?!"

"No! This can't be!"

"Lady Caterina even killed Meia!"

"Perhaps, she was also the one who brought the evil in our reign!"

"She should have been the sacrifice!"

"Yes! Lady Caterina should be banished!"

"No! We should do what she did to Meia!"

Everyone was screaming, shouting about their hatred and disapproval of their once beloved leader. Within all this commotion, Caterina simply stood where she was, still holding the bloody dagger, not moving even an inch. But her eyes were as focused and sharp as they always were... Agusta felt a shiver run down her spine as their eyes met. She is going to kill us all. I must do something, anything...

"SILENCE! Have you lost all your dignity?! Lady Caterina's actions were all done for the good of this sisterhood. Is this how we should repay her?!" Agusta questioned, looking everyone in the eye.

Just as she had wanted them to do, they became quiet. They bowed their heads as if in shameful repentance... Or so she thought. What happened next was something she least expected would occur.

"Lady Agusta, you are also in the side of evil!"

"We should start with her first!"

Agusta's eyes grew wide with disbelief. She had nothing to fear, she wasn't afraid of death. In the back of her mind, she thought, Dying in the hands of my sisters is better than being tortured to death by the evil being that Caterina has become. She waited for the blow, it didn't take long. The pain lasted only for a few seconds and before Agusta closed her eyes... she smiled. I forgive you all.

"Farewell, Agusta. Until the very end, you have remained most loyal to our group. So, you shall not be punished by me." Caterina whispered, as she watched Agusta's body disintegrate and mix with the damp, midnight air.

Once the gruesome task was done, the others turned back to Caterina. "It is your turn to pay for your sins!"

"I wonder which of us will truly pay and suffer..." Caterina said, snickering. "Good night..."

A blinding green light surrounded them all, after a few moments the once silent night was tainted, filled with their helpless screams.

"I've always loved red. I believe it suits all of you as well."
