" Can you see that you are the evil one? Always trying to include someone in your evil deed, I've been your friend for the past four hundred years and you still blame me for every wrong thing going on in your life" Ursula voiced

" I will always blame you for all the wrong things happening in my life because you are a witch and bad luck, You are cursed that is why you turned out to be a born vampire and cursed witch" Uri spat without feeling remorseful

"I've been trying to please you for the past four hundred years because you were the only one that accepted me but I think that won't work again, I'm going to the witches and anything that comes out of that, The vampires should accept it that way"Ursula cleaned her tears, She turned around and vanished

"The work is done, She will die in the next one to two hours, I feed her with garlic in her sleep already" Uri replied a figure hiding beside a flower vase

"Are you sure she will die by garlic remember she is a hybrid"

" She is a cursed witch same as her witch twin who happens to be a werewolf, not a vampire, she is cursed so her witch ability can never save her unless her witch twin's blood" Uri smiled as she seem to have perfected the plans already

"And that seems Impossible"

"Ok, let's wait and see the results" the figure grinned

**********

"Ariel!" Tessa called

"Here I am" Ariel replied

"Take this knife, Help me get some herbs from the forest"Tessa ordered

" But it's late already" Ariel yawned collecting the knife

"Even if it is three at midnight, I have the right to send you on an errand if I want"Tessa frowned

" Okay, but what do you want to use the herbs for? Or you turned into a shaman?"Ariel laughed as she exited the pack house

Entering into the forest, the sounds of wind in the trees and the rustling of leaves were strange. The bird's hooting was louder than before, and a chilling breeze blew, clinging her clothes tightly on her.

"Today's weather is a bit strange" Ariel laughed nervously as she looked around, fears are slowly gripping her heart, and she tighten her hands on the knife given to her

A particular area was unstable as the leaves hit each other creating a rustling sound, Ariel gripped the tip of her shirt as she passed beside the moving area with one mind.

"Help!" Ursula cried faintly as she heard footsteps in the forest

Ariel moved away in fear as she hastened her steps but something kept pulling back her attention at the cry for help she heard.

"Help!" Ursula cried again hoping for help from anyone

Ariel went back, She widened and cut the grass with her hands and dagger. She heard the cry again but the time was filled with pain and was low. She hurriedly cut a herb that her instincts pointed at as she moved forward, A female body came to view as she was bleeding from her mouth.

She felt pity for the lady, and turning her head backward she sighted a flowing river that had not been there when she passed, without thinking she ran a cooped little water with the small bottle she saw beside the helpless girl.

She ran and soaked the herbs in the water as she gave the girl the prepared herbs to drink. The herbs were working but only stopped her pain a little.

The lady was dying, Ariel was confused on what to do when she mistakenly cut herself with the knife Tessa gave to her.

"Ouch" Ariel pressed her hand causing a drip of her blood to drop on the ladies mouth causing her to cough out.

Immediately the wound healed up by itself.

"Thank you"Ursula whispered immediately after the cough as she went numb on Ariel's hand

Ariel felt tears dropping down from her eyes without any reason, she felt a strong connection with the girl but couldn't fathom what it was about.

She raised her head to see a hit staring at her, her smile widening as it was getting late already and she found a place to stay with the girl in her hands.

*****After Thirty Minutes****

"Where am I?" Ursula opened her eyes and looked around

" We are in a hut inside the forest" Ariel replied coming with a bowl of water and some herbs then a towel on her shoulder

"Do you live here? How did you find me? What was the condition you found me in?"Ursula rushed her sentences

" I don't live here, I found you in the forest, You were almost dead when I found you. I answered all your questions already, Can I ask mine?"Ariel rapped

" That devil" Ursula muttered folding her fist in anger

"Who is the Devil? Who are you?How did you end up in the forest? Where are you from? Those are the first part of the question kindly answer so I can proceed" Ariel smiled as she dropped the items with her settling her butt on the bed

"I can't answer that because no matter how I explain you can't know the devil. I'm Ursula a born vampire and cursed witch as everybody says, my I and my friend had a very huge fight which caused my disappearance from the vampire world and I met myself in the forest struggling in pain and agony, I'm from the vampire world" Ursula answered the questions with short and detailed explanation

"I think you were poisoned before you left the vampire world because through my observation I discovered that garlic kills vampires and you were fed with garlic, I don't know how or when. The herbs my instincts pointed at are used to treat vampires that are poisoned using garlic" Ariel explained her observation or theory as she calls it

" Does that mean………, I will get to the root of this issue? "Ursula thought

" Omg!!, I'm dead"Ariel screamed remembering the errand she was sent on

"It's late at midnight already or else you want to embrace a cruel death from the hands of creatures in this forest, You will go back to the pack house tomorrow morning"Ursula yawned and closed her eyes, laying down with a free mind.

"How did you know what I was thinking about?" Ariel opened her mouth in surprise

"I'm a witch and also a vampire, We read minds" Ursula muttered and fell asleep.

Ariel lay on the floor as she entered the world of her thoughts.

**************

"What do you mean you can't find her? I sent her to the forest for easy termination and you both should have followed her then, completing the job once and for all to avoid problems and suspicion"Tessa screamed at the men she sent to kill Ariel

" We followed her but immediately she entered into the forest, We became confused about the way leading to the forest, we tried to find a way but all our efforts results came to no avail"One of the men explained

" Can you listen to yourself? You are vomiting out trash from that crab hole you call a mouth"Tessa fired irritated by the reply or excuse rather.

" We are Sorry" Both men chorused.

Their discussion was cut short as footsteps retreating sound was heard

"Who is there?" But no answer was received

"Find that eavesdropper and make sure you kill the person no matter who it is, failure to do that the consequences will be shifted to you both heads at the end"Tessa ordered as the men ran after the sound direction.

" Two fools, Damn!. The plan failed already, I should start getting another plan planned"Tessa hissed as she passed another route leading to the secret passage of the pack house.
