** It Has Started Empress **

Soon when her own gaze got shifted towards her majestic hairs, she herself gasped in awe and remained dumbstruck after witnessing her hairs and wondering about how could they grow like this overnight...!!! 

  "How did you hair grow this fast?" asked Jessica to which she didn't reply anything and just focused on eating .

Scarlet was well aware about all the changes that she had been encountering since yesterday, but she wasn't aware of the reasons because of which she was feeling it. 

Because she herself was not sure about anything . So, she didn't want to give out any fake reason or statement to her parents which could make her fall into another set of questionnaire round. 

 That's why instead of answering all these questions, she choose to just focus on the food and was hurriedly munching it like she had been starving since ages.

But Jessica and Mr. Lozenge found everything suspicious. Jessica thought that her only daughter was trying to escape her questions today using food as an excuse.

 Because, Scarlet  was never fond of sea food. In the past , whenever they told her to have some fish or crabs, she had always denied saying that it's just tasteless . 

On the other side, their son willy always loved sea food. Whenever, there was sea food in his sight, he would go insane like he had never ever got the food. So, Jessica used to cook sea food for her son and Mexican food for Scarlet.

But today, Jessica and her husband both couldn't believe their eyes to whatever they were witnessing. Because today their daughter Scarlet who used to kind of hate sea food , was munching the crabs, fish and lobsters like her life  depended on it. 

 This made the couple even more shocked, surprised and worried too. But Mr. LOZENGE had somehow guessed that scarlet didn't want to talk about it and left the matter unspoken .

After all , she was his dearest daughter. She could eat up anything she desired. He was happy, because in the past he used to scold her for not eating all the dishes properly and today she herself was doing it. 

Patting his wife's hand , he gestured her to sit for breakfast and said lovingly

 “Leave it dear, she will tell us when it's the time." 

 “ But … this is all because of you. She never tells us anything before the situation turns out to be very grave.” She responded back to her husband almost schooling him in front of both of her children . 

  “ All right … All right ….. now just let her eat soundly.” Her husband added giving her a sweet look which she would never be able to deny .

Hearing this out, Jessica just nodded and expressed that she is just worried for her baby daughter. 

Scarf stuffed the food and just when she was about to leave for the college , she had another jug of water and gulped it like it was just a drop .

Now , this time her father just looked and shook his head to which scarf just replied....

    " Come on ! I feel thirsty . !"

And headed towards her University thinking of excuses which she would have to tell her friends to escape their questions. Because, unlike her parents, they won’t be leaving her so easily. 

Meanwhile, the other side in the MOUNTAIN HOUSE, the old lady was not feeling good so just wanted to rest for a while and thus told Carol to not prepare any breakfast for the time being for she wanted to rest a bit more. 

 She again drifted off to sleep and again found herself dreaming . Looking at her front , she again found the same man peeking at the clear sky and this time too his back was facing her. 

Just as she was about to move further , he spoke nonchalantly ....

 "You seem to miss me a lot these days ... Every now and then you are always here ..." 

Clearly, this man was mocking her and he never ever spared a chance to tease her, may it be past or now. He hadn’t changed a bit. 

Snapping out from her thoughts about him, she just denied the fact that she herself wanted to see him.

    "It's not like that ...I.. I am sleeping and its you who just visit me every now and then these days. " The lady replied looking at his back. 

   "Oh really ...!! Then I must say I miss u a lot . So , I can't skip a single chance to visit you " the man replied while chuckling lightly and taking his steps towards her , he halted and caressed her hairs. 

Even in this age , or after this age, he still had the courage and guts to flirt. Back then, whenever he used to flirt with her, she had always blushed heavily and he still had the same effect on her. 

    "It has started empress. You have to be careful. Protect yourself and others too.

I am entrusting this duty over your shoulders now.”

Yes, it was him. His character had always been like this. Sometimes, he would just always beat around the bush and would never ever tell anything, but at other times, he would just step up at the main point like hammering a nail in coffin. 

Without understanding anything, she asked him being worried... "Wha…... What has started? you have to tell me today ..." 

    "You would know everything soon . But for the time being, I must tell you that you have to be careful.”

Sighing a long sigh, he added further not leaving his gaze from the lady’s beautiful calm face which had now turned somewhat crescent with worries…

“And today at noon , open that book which you are having with you and start reading it. 

  After that summon the  P2 guide werewolf and tell him exactly what you would read in the book ." 

   "B..But.. .." Before she could ask anything ... he cut her amidst and replied sensing her question 

  "Fine, you should get up now. Don't sleep anymore. The Dream-catchers are getting close." 

Saying these words, he vanished from there in thin air like he had never been there and left the lady alone like she had always been there in that endless abyss searching him or it was just her imagination and nothing else.

The lady opened her eyes immediately panting hard and struggling for her breathing while she scanned the whole room for any unknown presence, but nobody was there. 

Soon, she hauled up from her comfy bed slowly wiping off all the sweat drops from her forehead when her sharp wolf gaze started looking for the heavenly book .
