* Play Song ~ Bare By Wildes *
Sienna did remember everything that she had been carrying deep inside her heart, hiding from this cruel world that only wanted to end her life, her family__ everything was shattered after a night, she got to know the other side of her life__ A witch's daughter.
Long before when she was a three years old toddler, that horrible incident took behind her house when she was asleep in her tiny bed. The villagers happened to figure out the witch couple that lived in their village nearby. Witches were never welcomed in Brightmoon World. When they confirmed their identities, one night the villagers all gathered together around their house to drag her mother and father out. They were left with no chance of living and were dragged out by the villagers to present in front of the crowd.
No one heard the begging and cryings that Sienna's birth parents at that night. Fortunately, she, the little girl was sleeping inside her secret room and those villagers weren't aware of that since she never left her house. Her parents kept her secret from those evil eyes and continued nurturing her inside the home together.
Then that merciless decision was made by the village head who had deep hatred towards witches. In front of the entire village, her parents were burnt alive while begging and crying to spare their lives. Until now, Sienna only heard about that horrible night but today, Cedric showed her the vision of her death parents and warned her with another vision that if she opened her mouth in front of the jury, her consequences would be the same like her parents.
Angelica was returning from a province when she heard about the witch and came to check out the place out of curiosity. At that time, she found Sienna in the house. Her first thought was to give her to the king to kill but having second thought, Angelica understood that Sienna could be her best weapon one day. Since she kept her hiding and gave a different name before bringing her in the castle. Later on, Sienna's witch power was sealed by an ancient monk who was known to Angelica. If Robert knew the truth, not only Sienna but also Angelica would be punished for hiding the truth.
Though it was a mystery to everyone around, Cedric found it very fast in their childhood. He remembered the time when he tried to hurt Sienna with his dark powers in their play but she was saved strangely. At that time, Sienna's power was still active but she didn't had much memories of her powers. From that day, Cedric found it mysterious and he made an investigation after growing up and ascending the throne.
Sienna was heartbroken and cloud minded after that vision. She didn't expect that that sight would be so painful and she would be wishing to die too. Tears blurred her eyes again and she hung her head low under Cedric's watchful glare.
Cedric stepped forward, smirking cunningly as he spoke in slow and calm voice,
" What do you think about Angelica? Do you think that she had picked you up on pity? Use your brain, Sienna. Until now, you might have known her character very well. Though you have no witch power in your veins now, today or tomorrow she will ask you to wake it up and use it to fulfill her greedy desires. Who are you to blame me then?"
Sienna squeezed her eyes shut in pain. She wasn't that much foolish to believe Angelica. All this time, she had fooled herself telling that she was their dearest princess even though she was adopted. But now when Cedric was reffering to the truth, her heart was failing apart slowly.
In her own anger and frustrations, Sienna questioned back, pushing her eyes up to ask Cedric,
" What about you then, brother Cedric? Why did you save her? You love her? Really? So that you can go to that extent by reminding off my death parents?"
Cedric laughed softly at her response. Without replying to her exact questions, he answered by taking a step closer to knock at her head lightly,
" You are so so dumb, Sienna. You shouldn't have understood by this time that Ayra is my bottom line. I don't spare anyone when it comes to her, my dearest sister."
Sienna sneered at him hatefully. Her eyes were still red from her previous crying as she blurted frowning harder,
" You are so sick, Brother Cedric. You threatened me with those vision of my death parents just to save her. How can you be this cruel to me? People say the right thing about you. You are a demon without no heart."
Cedric didn't seem affected to hear her cursing. He had already gotten used to it. His mind had reached to that conclusion that he didn't find it offending anymore. Instead of getting angered, he smiled back at Sienna devilishly. Smiling and staring, he warned her in a low, sympathetic voice,
" As long as you follow Angelica's path, you will be doomed today or tomorrow, Sienna."
Sienna was blindly following Angelica since she raised her and felt gratitude for her but she didn't understand that Angelica was only using her as pawn on the name of love, affection. Deep down, Angelica only cared about her biological child who could outshine her name in the future.
Cedric had already turned around to leave her in the corridor. He believed that she deserved this today and had no remorse for that. As he took only two steps forward, Sienna clenched her fists harder. Her face darkened in anger as she blurted out loudly,
" Would you have done the same if she was your first wife, Brother Cedric? How long do you want to keep it hide from her? You are afraid that she won't forgive you? Fine! I will do it on your behalf."
