Prologue

Esther stood with her son Finn and her daughter Bella, they were twins "please, do not do this" She begged her older sister

Dahlia takes a step forward and held on to Freya's arm "you wanted a family. Fate said other wise, and so you came to me"

Esther pulled Finn and Bella close to her, Finn was crying and Bella trying to get to her sister

Dahlia looks at her with hatred "and for a price, I granted your wish. Now I must collect" and pulled Freya towards her

Esther looks at her sister with angry look on her face "when Mikael returns from his journey, I swear" but to get cut off

"you will tell him Freya grew ill and died" Dahlia shouted at her in angry voice as she glared at Esther

"No, Dahlia" she said with a sad look

"you were forced to burn her body to stop" Dahlia looks down at the child "the spread of plague"

"sister, please, I cannot give up my child" she told her oldest sister as she looks at her daughter

Dahlia puts her arm around Freya shoulder "you're already offered me more than just this one child. Our bargain was for this firstborn and every firstborn of each generation that is to come for as long as your line shall last" she informed her

Esther takes a step towards her "you do this, if you take my daughter, I swear to you, I will return to the black arts, and I will grow in power as a witch, and I will make you pay!" Esther shouted in angry voice

"your power is nothing against mine. Foolish girl, you knew the bargain you made" Dahlia walks towards her little sister "and should you defy me, then I will take all your children" Dahlia looks at the twins "including little Finn and Bella"

Finn started crying and Bella grabbed Freya's hand

"even unborn Elijah" she finished the conversation

"No, Dahlia" she whispered

Dahlia picked up Freya and started walking away with Freya in her arms and Bella hand got pulled away from her sister hand

"no" she murmured in a sad voice

Freya looks over Dahlia shoulder "Mommyyyyyy!"

"Dahlia! Freya, please!" Esther called out

"MOMMYYYY!" Freya screamed out to her mum

Freya continues to scream, and Esther breaks down in tears as Dahlia leaves with her daughter
