Venom

She feels the being encircling her, whenever she feels the presence of someone behind her; She snaps her head to the side direction of the intruder but sees nothing but space. 

This continues to go on for some minutes. She walks towards the bloody mirror in the center of her crypt.

 Her face drives any expression. she raises her lips in a smug smile, her eyes darkening. Her forehead pleats revealing six lines.  She grabs the red ruby ring below the mirror and places it on her right thumb, rubbing it gently. As evil smiles cast on her lips. 

A snaking wind breeze hit her cottage and caused huge destruction. She slowly turns her head around to see a man covered up in red, with a silver mask placed on his face standing in front of her full of vigor. Her eyes flicker in vigilance seeing the man standing there not saying a word. Strange aura emitting from him.

"It's you!" she says, in a trembling voice, her ring finger pointing at the man. The man's eyes stare intently at her devoid of any emotions. "What do you want?" she asked the man folding her fists by the side of her body.

 A crip laugh echoes in the entire room giving her awful feelings.

The red robe man took a casual step in front of her at the same time she stepped back in reflex.

"Luella! you haven't changed a bit" he said in a mocking voice. Sarcasm is obvious in his words.

Luella breathed hard, her veins appearing on her neck, sweat sleeking down from her forehead. She glares furiously at the man.

"For the last time, Venom!, what do you want?" Luella questions in a stern voice.

The man gave her a hard stare through his mask, clicking his tongue he raised his head in Superiority, his hands covered in black gloves folded behind his back.

"Luella!" he called her with a strong voice. His voice sounded like a buzz, his voice can't be made out as a human.

Luella stares back at him with all her might not fretting.

Seeing her vitality he raises his lips in an evil grin. "Tell me! who is the one the prophecy speaks of!" he asks in a dark voice.

Luella looks at the opposite side of the already broken window, her face blank of any expression.

"Don't you, dare! resist me, waiting"  his voice rearing in irritation. Luella snaps her head to face him, her eyes now blazing fire. "And who do you think you are to command me?" she asked in a mocking voice. 

The red robe man hiss in anger his eye conforms to dark red orbs, a strong suffocating Aura emitting from his being.

Luella, seeing the change in him, steps back a bit and rubs her ruby ring between her folded fist.

 A strong surge of powers rushes through her veins, she glares at the red robe man, her eyes full with resentment; her grey orbs turning dark.

The red robe man grits his teeth in anger and sizes up Luella. He took another step towards her. "For the last time, witch, who is it??" a dangerous Aurora emitted from his mouth causing the statue in the room to burst into shreds.

Luella, fringe from that impact breathing hard, returns her gaze directly into his eyes.

"Venom, even If I know the one the prophecy speaks of, I will never tell you. but it's a shame I neither knew,'' she said through her gritted teeth.

"You!" The red robe man bellows loudly at her. He raises his right hand in the air, and dark energy conforms in the air and shoots straight at Luella, and strangles her neck.

Her face pales in instantly. her whole face creased in pain. She places her hands on her neck trying so hard to breathe. 

She struggles with all her might but finds herself rising from the ground, her legs kicking in the air.

The red robe man flicks his hand to the left, and more dark energy conforms to the air and engulfs Luella's neck.

Her now dark orbs stare intently at the red robe man while her legs kick the air furiously.

Her once smooth face dried up with emotions, and life slowly started draining out from her.

The dark red robe man smirks, his face cast with an evil grin. "I warned you, for the last time who is it?" he groans in a darker voice.

Luella even in her dying state reveals a mocking smile at him

"As I said, whoever the prophecy has spoken of, he will restore peace to this world and destroy your kind," she said, mockery lace in her voice.

The red robe man brutally surges all his powers into her neck and drains the life out of her. 

Black-looking vein lines stretch on her face and black liquid sips out of her eyes.

Her body starts convulsing till she shrinks, leaving her eyes popping out of their socket. Her once raven hair turns white while her skin gets dried up of any leaving possibility in her.

The dark red robe man flung her to the ground and walked closer to her now lifeless body and spat at her.

He glances up at the display on the bloody mirror, his face expressionless. 

He raises his palm and waves it back and forth releasing powerful energy, which shoots out from his palm and destroys the mirror. 

He smirks and disappears like he never came.

After his departure, two figures appear inside the cottage. 

The horrible death scene of the divine which welcomed their sight. They exchange eye contact with each other, nodding their heads in tacit understanding.

They disperse and go in different directions in the small cottage, after a few minutes of rummaging through the cottage, They return in front of the horrific body of the witch.

"Who could have done this??" one of the figures said in a sympathetic voice while glancing at the other figure.

"Amanda, this is pure proof, the six paranormals are going to face a terrific battle, if am right the divine Witch was killed because of the prophecy!" Luke said with clarity lace in his voice. 

Amanda turns to face the entrance looking around the whole place, she sighs exhausted not finding any possible link she glances back at Luke folding her arms to her chest.

"Then what should we do with the body?" she asked, raising her brows. Luke stares at her for some time and shrugs his shoulders. "Nothing!"

he said, shrugging his shoulders.

Amanda rolls her eyes, "Then, but we still have to report at the cloud palace" luke nods his head.

They both walk out from the witch's residence.
