Behind Shadows You Hide (We-Write #10)

We-Write #10: The Manor House + Last Week's Winners Announced!

Upon entering the manor's foyer, Kelly got on her tiptoes to catch a glimpse of the Grand Gallery's direction amidst the bustling tourists.

Clara however wandered off and was busy taking in her surroundings, staring in awe at the stained glass art that comprised the domed ceiling just above the huge spiral staircase.

Finding herself standing under the rays of sunlight streaming through the glass, Clara couldn't help but look down and notice the intricate patterns seemingly carved into the tiles that made up the whole floor.

Feeling giddy, she gave a full twirl, causing the flowy material of her skirt to move along with her. This place, it felt both new and familiar to her, like seeing a childhood friend again after a long time has passed.

She was pulled away from her thoughts when she heard Kelly calling for her from the entrance of the Grand Gallery.

As Clara hurried over to her sister, she failed to notice the two shadowy figures watching her, well-hidden from under the huge marble staircase.

The smaller of the two figures turned, and observed his master's deep amber eyes staring intently at the woman's retreating form before saying, "It seems she has come back after all these years, Your Highness."

The man in question remained silent before a grin slowly spread on his face, white fangs gleaming amidst the shadows.

"That she has, indeed."
