Loren and Aurora went up the stairs to where Loren’s quarters were.

"I hope the body is well secured." She said.

"I am not so sure. I was with Jasmine the entire time so I had no time to examine her. I simply told them to keep her in my quarters."

Lisa overheard them coming and then she hurriedly ran out of the room and headed down the stairs where she bumped into them.

Marie rose a brow and looked at her suspiciously.

"Lisa." He said. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh I just had that alley to clean." She said pointing to the other end of the hallway

"Without cleaning supplies?" Marie said not trusting her.

"I came to survey the place. But it seemed that I had been given the wrong place to work. Some servants have already done it so I am going to report to the head of the house." She answered.

Marie eyed her suspiciously her eyes keen with interest.

Then Lisa dashed off right behind them.

Loren went up the stairs to the room.

Then he turned and saw that Marie was still looking behind her.

"What are you looking at?" He asked. "Come on. We need to go back to Fiona and Jasmine." He said beckoning to her.

She looked at the path Lisa had followed before she followed him up the stairs and into his quarters.

He went to the body that was lain on the table and pulled open the sheets.

They examined her body.

She was still fresh and looked as if she was just asleep.

Even in her death she looked beautiful.

"How did she stop?" Marie asked gently touching her hair.

"Xaden stabbed her." Loren said. "It is such a waste. Aurora was good in this pack. She had her shortcomings, but this was just different. Perhaps if they had tried to stop her."

Marie shook her head. "No, there was nothing that they could have done. I can smell a dark spell. She was under a very powerful hex."

"I thought that you were the only one who could use dark magic." He said with surprise.

She shook her head. "No there are few others."

Marie had an idea who had done this Aurora.

There was only one other person she was aware of that knew this much magic.

It was because she was the one who had taught her how to use the magic herself.

She was certain that this was Cherry.

She would deal with her later.

"And do you know who could have done this?" Loren asked.

"No." Marie lied bluntly.

He went quiet as he went on examining Aurora.

Trying to sniff around for anything that had been left behind.

Any thing that would lead them to how to save Jasmine.

"But I do not understand it." Loren said. "Why go for Jasmine. If Someone put a hex on Aurora to kill Jasmine, why even bother? Jasmine is not relevant. Quite harmless in fact. And we all knew already that Aurora hated Jasmine."

"Perhaps someone with an agenda to kill her and revenge what her father did." Marie said trying to wave it aside.

She was not covering for Cherry intentionally but she knew that if they discovered and ventured deep to investigate they might found out and then the royal family will also discover that she was the one who had trained her.

She could sanctioned for that.

"If you know dark magic. You can not find out who it is?" He asked curiously.

She shook her head. "It does not quite work that way."

That part was not a lie.

Then she looked down at her hand.

It seemed as if her hand had been gripping something firmly.

She frowned.

"Did she have anything in her hand?" Marie asked.

"No." He said. "Not that I saw any."

Marie pushed it aside and then Loren asked.

"Are you sure of this isle of Lycanthrope? No one has been there and come alive."

"I am certain of it." She said. "At least it is better than nothing at all. Onky the goddess knows what we can offer."

Loren looked at her closely and said with all suspicion as she covered her body back up with the clothe.

"You are a witch who uses forbidden magic. Why have you not gone after it yourself if you claim that it can cure absolutely anything?" He asked. "Surely you are interested."

She laughed. "You still do not trust me."

"I could never trust a witch with dark magic." He says gruffly.

"And with good reason she said and then her locks rose up in the air as if they were snakes.

And then he jumped back in fright.
