Chapter 1: The Manor of Shadows

Chapter Text

The halls of the manor wailed with the echos of former prisoners who had died at the hands of the Shadow Witches and their brutal regime that would break even the strongest of minds. Not to mention the rumours of a basilisk slithering around the walls of the manor attacking those who met its eye. All around the Shadow Witches were drinking and occasionally had the odd disagreement with each other as Otto ran across the walls as he came to sit by the head of the table where Charysabella sat as menacing and formidable as always.

'Now we are all aware of the winds of change coming to Wilhelmshaven.' Charysabella said as she looked at them as the Shadow Witches looked at her confused before murmuring to each other as if it was a trick question. 'Oh don't give me those blank looks.' She said as she was clearly annoyed. 'Now where is that good for nothing brat with our food?' She asked as the doors opened as Charylisabella came in with the tray as Delancey for fun stuck her foot out causing her to trip and drop the tray causing all the cutlery to break and tea to spill onto the sandwiches making them inedible as Charysabella stood up. 'YOU CLUMSY WHORE. Look what you have done.' She yelled as Charylisabella sat back on her heels before trying to tidy the mess. 'Clean this up and then go about your work.'

'Happy now?' Charylisabella asked looking at Delancey as Delancey smirked at her.

'What I didn't do anything. Its not my fault you're so clumsy.' She said as Charylisabella went to punch her in the face as the Shadow Witches found this absolutely amusing as Charysabella was furious.

'Get that whore downstairs and lock her up and don't feed her for the rest of this week.' Charysabella said to her two Shadow Witches who nodded their heads and took Charylisabella downstairs before locking her in her cell.

'Let me out.' Charylisabella yelled as they walked off as she went to sit on the dirty and cold floor.
