Statues- Part 1

Belle stared at Lucas, her red eyes questioning him, "I know they got corrupted...but corruption doesn't take place without a reason, does it?" she asked him. Something had gone wrong, something happened which they weren't aware of. She wanted to know if the people of the council had found out anything as there were here for hours now. 

She wanted to know what happened to her father who had been perfectly fine with her mother when she had left the room, it was like a nightmare that she couldn't forget. 

Lucas noticed how Belle was trying to be composed now. Trying to find the truth which she wouldn't be able to take in right now. But when was the right time? Would she be able to take it if she found out that her parents were dead because she was part of the alignment of stars where the witches were hunting the families down. 

"They said it might be the work of a black witch," he informed her, which was the truth.
