Angels & Witches

Chapter 1

Sometime in the early 1800 century Manchester, U.K

We walked down a cobblestone pathway. It was a very cold and windy night yet not a single snowflake had fallen. The trees in the moonlight casting mysterious shadows. That seemed to move behind us. We stopped in front of a gate that lead to a huge farmhouse about 100 yards away.

"Are you sure this is the right house?" Asked my best friend James a browned haired blue eyed boy.

"Yes, but we must proceed with caution." Said my master Zachary he was a somewhat muscular young tanned man.

"Than we must not delay," I say. You might be wondering who I am my name is Daphne Jane Fowler. I'm a typical teenage girl. With brown eyes and black hair.

We proceed towards the house. As we get closer I can hear screams coming from the house. I could only imagine what awaited us in there. I look out at James and he has the same worried look I have. We've done a few trips like this in the three years I've been here. James and I don't do much usually Zachary dose everything. But this one felt different. We stopped just as we reached the steps to the house.

Zachary proceeds to knock on the door. A couple of seconds pass when the door opens and a fragile old man steps out.

"Are you Zachary?" He asked

"Yes, sir you sent a messenger for my assistance," Zachary replies

"Who are they?" He motions towards James and me.

"My assistants my we come in sir?"

"Yes please." He motions for us to come in.

"May I ask why you called for my assistance this late at night?" Zachary says as we come in the common room.

"I have encountered something that you might want to see."

"Does this have to do with the screams we heard?" I asked

"No that's my daughter she's having a baby upstairs. Please follow me and you can call me Henry." Replied the old man

He leads us through a long hall. Filled with paintings of the family. In one of the paintings, Henry was standing with a woman and three children. Henry was much younger but still had the same facial features. But what caught my eye was the fact that the lady was blanked faced staring out into the distance. And she had her arms on her sides not around the kids as Henry did. The paintings on the walls changed to animals horses, lions, Bears, and Tigers. When we almost reached the end of the hall Henry stopped in front of a metal door. Which I presumed to lead to the cellar.

"What is behind this door I know nothing of. Some have already been taking." Henry said with a warning

"We understand," Zachary said. Henry then proceeds with opening the door. As he opened it the door was yanked opened forcefully. James and I both jumped back. But recollected ourselves realizing it was nothing. Henry and Zachary continued to stare into the caller. Zachary turns around and I see Fear in his eyes.
