???'s POV

I threw my black hair over my shoulder. I stared at the photos on the wall.

Some of them were torn in half with both sides hung up next to each other. Most of them had blood red X's on them. A couple had both.

My eyes caught on four pictures.

A girl with dark brown hair and light brown skin was in one picture. She had bright purple eyes. She walked the streets aimlessly, her eyes twinkling in the sunlight. I knew her eyes changed colors. They just happened to be purple now. I looked at the name under the picture.

Grace Teonys.

A boy with black messy hair, fair skin, and very dark eyes was in the second picture. He had dog ears on his head. He was running away, as an middle aged man who was missing his left leg from the knee down chased him with a cane. The name under this picture read;

Nicholis Strenam. -Related to Adyson Strenam-

A girl with blonde hair, and depressed brown eyes was in the third picture. She had a headshot. She had tears pouring down her face. When her photo was taken, her brother had just been taken away. She was not allowed to go. She was not Different. Her name was also under her photo.

Adyson Strenam -Related to Nicholis Strenam- --Plain, but Dangerous--

In the fourth picture, there was a girl. She had clouded bluish grey eyes. Her hair was very messy, tangled, and was dark brown hair past her shoulders.  She walked down the dusty and rocky road, using a mangled twisted walking stick to feel in front of her. Before I could read the name of this girl, Calik knocked on my door.

"Come in!" I called elegantly.

Calik stepped in. I twirled gracefully to face him. "Yes?"

"There's been another confirmed death..." Calik said.

I grinned, almost joyous to hear it. "Who?"

"Grace Teonys."

I turned toward Grace Teonys' picture, then turned back towards Calik. I asked "Cause of death?"

"The Soulless."

I nodded. Common deaths did not intrigue me."Paint?"

Calik handed me bucket of blood red paint. I took a brush, and stroked the paint suddenly into an X on Grace's photo. One less to deal with.

"And there's one more piece of news." Calik said.

I stood. I expected him to tell me it.

"It is believed the remaining few are surviving together with Adyson Strenam."

"How did the blind one escape?" I asked quietly. I wasn't expecting an answer. I was just asking. "When the strongest did not?"

"Some have said that Adyson Strenam broke into the village to save her brother. Adyson and Nicholis Strenam took her to safety, and that Grace Teonys sacrificed herself to save her."

"What?" I snapped, turning angrily on Calik. "Find her! Get her! Bring her to me! Alive! Now! Calik!"

I was nearly blind with rage. Orange flames poured viciously from my eyes. This was not our plan! She was not supposed to leave!

"I'm not sure we can do that, Ma'am." Calik said, nearly shaking with fear.

I roared with utter rage. I swung my arm upwards, sending a table and everything on it flying.

My eyes turned empty and blackness swallowed my eyes.

I hissed like a snake, "Find. Her. Or else."

Calik nodded and scurried quickly out of the room.
