"You took out his heart?" Eleanor barked in anger.
Her sister had done it this time.
She had finally crossed the line, and there was no going back, no matter what.
"Please." Marie rolled her eyes with laughter. "It’s not like I killed anyone."
Then she stopped, and she smiled before saying. "Whoops. I always do that. How could I forget?"
And she burst out laughing.
Eleanor and Marie had been born as special witches centuries ago.
They were wolves, but their main line was witches, and it was their job to assist the wolves.
And be good and kind; work with them.
They had grown up with a sect of coven witches and gone about their usual duties with other witches.
Eleanor was the elder, and Marie was the younger.
Eleanor was the one with the wild streak, and Marie had been the kind and calm one.
Things went wrong when Eleanor went to work once and fell in love with a man.
He had wanted her, and she, in turn, had wanted him.
It was forbidden for a wolf witch to become intimate with a natural wolf.
But Eleanor was determined.
She had given up her life as a witch and been more than intimate with the wolf; she had also carried a child for him.!
On hearing about this, the elders banished Eleanor from their coven and turned their backs on her, taking away her powers.
She had moved back to the regular world and lived with the man and her child.
But tragedy struck, and she had lost both of them.
It was a loss that had cost her.
Her younger sister, Marie, had grown to hate her for abandoning her and her other siblings for a wolf. When Marie came to the regular world, she used dark magic, and its powers covered her eyes with greed.
They were both cast away.
When Eleanor found her sister, she begged her to return to the coven since she could still live, but Marie dabbled in black arts and could no longer return home.
"Why did you take out his heart?" Eleanor asked.
She was so hurt beyond words that the young boy she had raised had turned his back on her.
