The Regency Witch and Werewolf

Demons and Witches

Exiting the doors to our Black Manor home I glanced up at the half crescent moon in the sky. Renor I was sure had already left for the evening heading to his mates home. Now that he was 100 percent sure she was his mate he won't stray too far from her. Even if it means camping out in her gardens as a wolf.

Pulling up the hood of my cloak I proceeded down the steps, a long the gravel road, and out into carriage wheel made road.

our homestead set back farther than most. almost secluded in the forest. That was how my family liked our homes. Close enough to hear and see, to act if we need. But far enough to hide what we don't want to share.

Decked out in all black, I choose black tights, black calf high boots, black sweater and of course a good warm black hooded cloak. Tights might not be the thing if this time period. But if I was gonna go be nosy at 10pm at a murders house, I wanted to be comfortable.

Bringing up my fingers to my lips I let our a three chirp whistle. I left scout out in the woods earlier today, planning to ride my chestnut handsome horse later. Soon I heard his hoofs as he made his way towards me. He gave me a nudge with his nose once he was close. 'Hello Scout " I patted his his head before moving to adjust the straps on the saddle. Thank the goddess I left this in him earlier.

Soon I was riding him through the forest as fast as I could. I knew the direct to the late Dukes house from scouting it out before. He too kept his home back away from the main path. But not as far as ours. slipping off of Scout I gave him a gentle pat on the side before turning to look up at the large garden wall.

The plan was to enter through the garden. Hopefully I will be able to break in with little to no problem and get what I want. And then be back home in time for at least a good 5 hours of sleep.

I was up and over the wall in seconds. Dropping lightly on the other side I glanced around for any movement. Heading and seeing nothing, I flexed my fingers gently sending a electric current out from my body in doing so. lt Ripple a good 100 feet. Still I felt nothing. Relaxing I headed towards the back door of the house. Presented with a rather large Lock I decided to go the hard way and removed my lock picking set from my cloak. The plan was to lock it back when I was done. No need to raise unnecessary alarm once I left the place.

Soon I was inside. My eyes dashed around the kitchen that I ushered so fast into. Nothing peaked my interest. Just pots and pans and your usual kitchen needs. Making my way farther into the house I was set on one room. His office. I was sure to find what I needed there. As I moved from room to room my eyes had already adjusted. The windows were drawn

but as a member of Black Blade night vision was the first spell cast upon you. It was as if the moonlight brightened the room.

Finally finding what appeared to be his office, between the sunroom and the living room, I raised a brow at the door being slightly a jar. I sent another wave out. No one was in the room. The slight tension in my body disappeared and I entered the room. Quickly I moved to the desk first searching for any clue or any leads. Double checking secret spaces within the desk. Nothing but the usual documents, check books, and notes one would find a Duke to have in or on his desk.

Next were the many books and book shelves. Grumbling under my breath about love struck dogs, I was working on bookcase number 3 out of 6 in the room when I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I sent a wave out a s felt the slightest tingles upon my fingers. someone was here. Turninf I looked at the direction behind me. No door faced me. Instead it was the 3 other bookcases on the other side. Moving quickly to the nearby window I slipped behind the floor length dark drapes,. lower my aura, and waited.

It felt like forever, but maybe five minutes passed before the middle bookcase swung open. I pulled the curtain back just enough to peek out. Two beings stepped out of the doorway. Both at least 5'6 or 7 in height. Their faces hidden by the hoods of their cloaks.

" The i***t even cleaned up the bodies he had down there," said the one on the right. But you can still smell the blood. Did you get what we came for?'

The one on the left nodded. He pulled out a clear globe from the pouch on his side with two hands, showing his companion before placing it back inside. "master said to get her ball. She didn't want this traced back to her."

The one on the right nodded before pushing the bookcase back. Once the book case was back in position he pushed the only green book on on the shelf back into position.

I awaited quietly as they exit the room. Then waiting at least Another 5 minutes before moving from behind the curtain. Their auras were so dark. The power coming from them both was strong enough to feel like 5 men were with each of them. Taking them on would have been deadly. I eyed the secret bookcase. I would wait for Renor on this one. I needed to report back to him.

Men cloaked in all black. Thick dark powerful auras. And retrieving a large scrying ball could only mean a few things. Demons and witches. But which demons. And which witches would be the hard details to figure out.

As I exited the room I sent out another wave. I felt nothing and headed for my exit hoping they had another route out. As I near the kitchens I felt nothif and proceeded through and out the back door. Placing the lock back in place I was up and over the wall as quickly as I could. Those two creeped me out. The tingles up my spine was still driving me in a itching bothersome way. Hopping on Scout I lead him quickly back home.
