Til Death Do Us Part
My name is Evelyn Clawthorne...or...Evelyn Wittebane if you want to be technical. I was married to a man that was not of my home, but a man I wish I had met sooner. His name was Caleb.
He was sweet, loving, and loyal. He was a human who seemed to have a love for everything fantastical unlike a lot of his kind, including his own brother. He didn't seem to be at home until he followed me into The Demon Realm.
And to protect this new realm from those who would wish to harm it, he made a mask with my father. A metallic mask of gold and red. He dubbed himself The Red Guard.
I couldn't help but fall for him. We married even...a little one was going to be in our future. He would nuzzle my belly just to hear them kick. He was so excited, and so was I...
...but he was taken from me by his own brother. I will never forgive him for such a cruel act...he sees me as the monster. He thinks I was trying to lure away Caleb...
I didn't know one man could be so delusional.
In an attempt of revenge, I took on my husband's mantle after my child was born. I wanted to hunt Philip Wittebane down and make him suffer as I did...and I nearly succeeded.
I could've killed him, avenge my husband...and while it still is a regret of mine that I didn't, I saw my own reflection in my husband's mask...I was becoming the monster Philip so desperately wanted to get rid of.
Caleb created The Red Guard to be a protector. Not a hunter.
I had been distracted by this realization long enough for Philip to get away...I did not die by his hand...I passed the mask down to a son I gained as my time as Red Guard...and when I finally passed?
I got to see Caleb's face again. He was so proud of me.
We didn't get the life we wanted, but we still made the most of it til death did us part.
