Where Guests Were Not Allowed

I didn't see a soul on the second floor.

I walked with the lightest of steps, careful to keep far away from anything I might bump or knock over. The last thing I needed right now was for my clumsiness to get me into trouble. I kept my magic on full alert like my demon training had taught me. Ready to act and embrace both sides of my magic if I had to.

At each turn, I paused to make sure my connection with my sister was still strong. I had a map in my head, but I also knew I couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

I made it down the grand staircase and headed toward the kitchen. As I looked around, I noticed that everything in this house was white with pops of blue. The floors were normal wooden floors for the most part, but all of the walls and ceilings were painted a pristine white. Almost every piece of furniture was white, and despite the number of children who must have grown up here, there wasn't a single marred edge or flaw to be seen.

A blue glass chandelier hung from the ceiling above the staircase. A blue and white vase held a bouquet of blue hydrangeas. A rug thrown across the floor downstairs was mostly white with a blue floral design.

How could someone so dark stand to be surrounded by so much light?

Priestess Winter was all about appearances, even down to the last detail here in her home. Everything about this place felt fake and manufactured. Created to give the impression of purity. Holiness. To me, it just felt cold and sterile.

She has a cold stone where her heart should be.

The tiger witch's words popped into my mind as I studied the house. Yes, Priestess Winter was cold. And calculating. I don't know why I hadn't noticed the chill in this place the first time I was here. I guess time and distance gave me some perspective on the kind of person she really was.

I felt my sister's energy below me, pulling me down to her. Could she feel that I was here? What was it she was so afraid of? I shuddered to think what Priestess Winter might have done to her.

Following her energy, I made my way through the living room toward the back of the house. I passed through the pristine kitchen and opened the door to the basement.

A dark staircase led downward. It was too dark at the bottom to really make anything out, but I knew I was close now. I hurried down the stairs, relying on memory to make my way in the darkness. I knew this part of the basement was beautifully finished. An extension of the house above, and not like a basement really at all. But when I finally reached the narrow wooden door where my vision had stopped, a feeling of darkness overcame me.

I had the distinct impression I was about to enter a part of Winterhaven where guests were not allowed.
