Blood offer
Scarlet Mendoza
Wh-what is it?
Natalie Darson
I knew it...
Natalie Darson
These scars have been carved into your skin in order to perform a ritual. That must be why your hair is black.
Scarlet Mendoza
H-how did you know about it?
[Natalie let go of Scarlet's arm that she was inspecting a minute ago and showed her a dusty old book, opening it to reveal some ancient writings.]
Scarlet Mendoza
Wow...these handwritings are so bad, I can't even understand a thing.
Scarlet Mendoza
Did you write these?
Natalie Darson
[closes book]
Natalie Darson
As you can see, this is a journal of an old witch. As I've analyzed, this book is around 500 years old.
Scarlet Mendoza
Really? Who could've written it?
Natalie Darson
I tried to clean it as much as possible while also trying not to damage the book. I couldn't really identify the name on the cover but her last name seems to be Osborn.
[Natalie handed the book for Scarlet to hold. and went around the desk looking for something from the bottom drawer.]
Scarlet Mendoza
[opens book]
Scarlet Mendoza
Whoa... look at these writings... I don't understand a thing though.
Natalie Darson
That's because it's ancients writings. It's quite hard to decipher it but....I did understand some of it by the help of my team, we were able to decipher a few pages.
Scarlet Mendoza
Did some of the pages said something about my scars? And my hair turning black?
Natalie Darson
Your scars, yes but I don't know about your hair turning black.
Natalie Darson
In one of the pages, it mentioned about the one who wrote that journal, along with two other witches I presume. It's said about a ritual. The procedures of the ritual is written as well.
Scarlet Mendoza
What was the ritual about?
Natalie Darson
Hhmm....that, I dunno.
Scarlet Mendoza
You don't know?
Scarlet Mendoza
Well, can you tell me about the procedure?
[Natalie looked up from the drawer and stood up straight. She leaned forward and put both her hands on the desk for support.]
Natalie Darson
The first page went like this; "The sacrifice is laid on the circular rock-like table, it's hands and feet are tied to prevent it from moving.
Natalie Darson
Then, we wait for the full moon to appear so it's light shall land upon the table and active the spell carved around the edge. Once the light has shone upon, use the sharpest blade you posses and begin to carve the spell on the sacrifice's body. Let it's blood spread troughout the table.
Natalie Darson
Whisper the names of the demons you seek, and a black shadow shall appear that'll cover the light of the moon. Ask the right words of what you want to wish and the demon will grant you that gift.
Natalie Darson
For the body and soul of the gifted is what the devil wants, you will have the sacrifice's power while the demon takes the sacrifice's body and soul."
Natalie Darson
[shrugs] And that's it, that was the whole first page we were able to decipher.
Natalie Darson
By the sound of it, it seems not only witches (and vampires) exist besides us...
Scarlet Mendoza
....But demons as well.
Scarlet Mendoza
Natalie...
Scarlet Mendoza
Do you think...
Scarlet Mendoza
That's what happened to me as well?
Natalie Darson
I'm not sure. You do have scars and your hair turning black must be a part of it as well. But...
Natalie Darson
It mentioned that a demon appeared and took the sacrifice's body and soul. Then the powers becomes the witch's.
Scarlet Mendoza
But I'm still here so...
Natalie Darson
I guess that's not the situation....?
Scarlet Mendoza
What did really happen in those 5 days that I've slept?
Natalie Darson
I don't know Scarlet....
Natalie Darson
( Whatever it was, I'm sure vampires have something to do with this... I need to talk to Regina for it)
Natalie Darson
I'll try to find out what this is all about...
Scarlet Mendoza
Oh, okay. I'll go in my room for now.
[Scarlet went out of the basement to her bedroom.]
Scarlet Mendoza
[jumps on her bed]
[Scarlet stared at the ceiling. She raised one of her hands to look at the scars that were also at the back of her hands.]
Scarlet Mendoza
These weird scars are all over my body...
Scarlet Mendoza
What am I gonna do about this?!
Scarlet Mendoza
How am I supposed to go to school looking like this?
Scarlet Mendoza
Ugh whatever...
[In one of the VIP rooms...]
Mrs. Gu
Please spare my husband! I've tried to stop him from gambling but he wouldn't listen!
Mrs. Gu
Our company is about to go bankrupt and I--
[Evelynn Williams, who sat on her luxurious couch, sips her champagne as she looked down at the wife of the man who was in great debt to her.]
Ace
Our Master doesn't like to listen to boring stories. Please, just go straight to the point.
Ace
Are you gonna pay the debt of your husband?
Mrs. Gu
Just give me more time! I promise we'll pay!
Mrs. Gu
I'm sure I can pay it in a month or so....
Ace
Your husband hasn't told you how much is it, I presume.
Mrs. Gu
What do you mean? I'm sure it's just a couple million....right?
Ace
Your husband's debt is 20 billion dollars.
Mrs. Gu
20...B-billion...?
Mrs. Gu
How am I supposed to pay for that?!
Mrs. Gu
Our company's almost going down and even if I sell all my properties, I can't make that much money!
Mrs. Gu
Ms. Williams! Please have mercy!
[Mrs. Gu crawled to grab one of Evelynn Williams' ankle, begging to spare her and her husband as she didn't have enough to pay her husband's debt. If only her husband didn't gamble this much, she have had to kneel for mercy infront of this woman. Mrs. Gu wondered what made her husband gamble such big amount of money.]
[Two men immediately grabbed Mrs. Gu by her arms away from Evelynn and held her down.]
Ace
I don't care how your life is going on but you need to pay the money. It was your husband's idea to gamble with Master and now he needs to pay the price.
Mrs. Gu
Wh-what do you mea--
[Evelynn snapped her fingers that echoed in the whole room making Mrs. Gu halt on her words.]
[Evelynn handed her champagne to Ace, her personal assistant. She stood up and walked towards Mrs. Gu. Her tall figure towering over the woman.]
[Mrs. Gu felt her heart skip a beat when she saw red eyes that glowed making her tremble in fear.]
Mrs. Gu
Ms..... Ms. Williams...?
[Evelynn leaned down, her red eyes leveling with Mrs. Gu, the wife of the old man who challenged her on gambling. Her smooth pale hand raised to hold the woman's chip up. In a second, her hand went to hold the woman's neck, her red nails dug on her skin. Blood seeped out to drop on the ground. Evelynn let go of her neck, bringing her thumb that had blood on it, to her mouth and licked it.]
[Mrs. Gu couldn't believe what she saw and right now, she didn't feel good about what's going to happen next.]
[Evelynn went back to sit on her couch with a smile on her face that held no good news to it.]
Evelynn Williams
I'm sorry you had to carry your husband's recklessness.
Evelynn Williams
How about I give you an offer?
Mrs. Gu
What! What is it?! Whatever it is, I'll do it!
Evelynn Williams
Really? You'll do it?
Evelynn Williams
Even if...it'll cause your life?
Mrs. Gu
I.... Yes, I'll do it!
Evelynn Williams
[claps] Well then, I'll help you with your company and also your husband is no longer in debt with me.
Mrs. Gu
[gasp] THANK YOU MS. WILLIAMS!
Evelynn Williams
In exchange....you'll give me your blood....
Mrs. Gu
[confused] S-sure, how much do you want...?
Evelynn Williams
ALL OF IT
Evelynn Williams
I'll need your blood at the right time, soon. It's up to you if you can survive. Don't worry, I'll only need you once.
Evelynn Williams
So, if you survive, you'll live happily back with your hubby and your Company will be okay.
Evelynn Williams
I like you, you know. So you better grab the offer before I change my mind.
Mrs. Gu
YES! I-I'll do it!
Ace
He's waiting for you outside...
