The Devil's Embrace

Madeline Rose had only ever worked in her father's local blacksmith shop and occasionally helped her mother at the farm. Her skin had become tanned from the hot sun, but despite all of this, she did not complain. Even though she didn't come from a wealthy home, she was content. However, her life turned upside down when she stumbled upon a darkness that refused to leave her alone. There was him, a man cloaked in mystery and malice, a presence that sent chills down her spine. His eyes, shrouded in shadows, held a depth of darkness that seemed to swallow the light around him. When their paths crossed, Madeline felt a cold dread wash over her, as if she had invited a malevolent force into her world.

Georgina smiled eagerly as she stood at the foot of the tailoring shop doorstep, waving at the young boy playing with other kids and calling out, "Come here, will you?"

"No," Josiah giggled, racing with children his age for arrays of stones thrown on the ground. They were throwing it in a circle, and whoever fails will get chased. It seemed to be a fun game since Josiah was ignoring her. The young boy was always eager to play with her and her sisters.

"Josiah," Georgina persisted. Soon her mother would call for her, but she was on the verge to know what was happening. She needed gossip about Madeline.
