The room was dark, a little candle was lit and placed at the corner of the room, though the light was tiny but it saturated the room so well making it brighter than it ought to be, it’s obvious that their was a little spark of magic used to enable to light shine brighter, it was Azora’s room, it looked a little scary and at the same time empty, Carmella lay still on the bed with her eyes shut, animal skin was used to cover a part of her body while a warm clothe was placed on her forehead to normalize her body temperature. Azora stood outside pacing the front of her house, she looked very unhappy and unpleased with the turn out of events, what scares her most is the possibility that Carmella might not be able to survive though she had tried her best to stabilize her, she shook her head in pain knowing that the death of Carmella would only mean that all her plans would fall like a pack of cards and she would spend the rest of her life living right there in the forbidden pa
The ghost took glances at each, they wore a long face which gave away their anger making them look even more scarier than they were supposed to look, they were quiet and for that moment Azora enjoyed the silence, her head was boiling hot with confusion on to the next line of action to take and so was she scared of what the ghost’s verdict might be, she knew how cruel they were and how much they hated incompetence especially when it’s coming for someone they have trusted with more than enough and believe that it’s impossible for her to fail with such power at her disposal, she could barely lift up her eyes to look at their faces, she slowly picked on her fingers praying silently that she is granted a second chance to prove that she is worthy of their trust and can carry out the assignments given to her accordingly, she took a glance at her house, the door was widely open so she could clearly see when Carmella wakes up, now she was getting even more worried that it w
The third ghost opened her mouth to speak but paused when she heard someone coughing from inside the house, Azora’s eyes flew wide open with excitement, Carmella was finally awake, she grinned happily turning to the ghosts hoping this new develop changes their mind, the ghosts only took glances at each other and varnished without saying a word to her, she didn’t know what that means but she was sure that they have decided to give her a second chance, she jerked up on her feet and ran into the house, Carmella was already sitting up on the bed by the time she got there, she was rubbing her hands over her eyes looking like someone who was lost and had woken up from the dead, of course she did wake up from the dead else she was supposed to be dead by then and her corpse dumped where the villagers would find it and the cause of her death would never be traced expect by a witch more powerful than the powers of the ghosts, Azora stood in front of her glaring at her.Carmel
Azora turned to her and chortled “wouldn’t it have been better if I allowed you join your ancestors and languish in the grave you stupid girl? I gave you a mission, a very simple mission but you just couldn’t even carry it out effectively without trying to get yourself killed on the process.”Carmella gasped “what exactly are you talking about? The… the last time I checked I… I.. went to Diana’s house to do exactly what you asked me to do, then I came out and…. I started choking on something” she said looking very confused though she kept stammering in between her statements.Azora shook her head “you still don’t get do you? You are just so foolish, I thought you were a smart girl Carmella, we had an agreement, I sent you to do something that would benefit you and make you the next queen of your village, it’s not like using your real face to meet your sister wasn’t provoking enough d
Azora chortled on hearing her words, it was loud enough so Carmella heard her clearly, she turned staring blankly at her then sighed out loud on a second thought, after all she wasn’t the one who almost lost her life all in an effort to eliminate her kids sister, she bit slightly on her lips narrowing her eyes in pain at the thought of Diana, getting rid of her have become so impossible, she have become a thorn in her flesh, not like it just started but it has always been like that ever since they were children, she left belittled when it comes to Diana, the villagers always praised her for her beauty and good character, she always felt swallowed up in Diana’s shadows as a child, unable to express herself or be heard by anyone, as far as she was concerned when Diana was around, no one saw, noticed or even heard her voice, it was always Diana this and that, she got so jealous but couldn’t do anything but to hope that she some day gets married to Joshua whom she had
“Everything Carmella, everything is definitely wrong about your suggestion, you think I am not aware of love potions before we agreed on getting rid of Diana? I am aware of that Carmella but sorry it won’t work” she informed.Carmella gasped, she couldn’t understand what Azora was saying, what exactly was she driving at? Wouldn’t it have been better if she made it obvious that she doesn’t have the power to make such potions other than telling her that it won’t work? She thought to herself staring at Azora who looked away with both of her hands placed on her laps.“Why won’t it work?” Carmella finally asked, she was really getting uncomfortable as their was nothing else she could think of.Azora scoffed and turned to Carmella in amazement “aren’t you aware that most of this potions don’t work on royalties, they don’t work on male alphas especially this very love potion you are ask
Zara wrapped her hands across her chest looking pissed and at the same time worried, she sat at the edge of her bed looking like one who had seen a ghost, the night had gone slowly, her eyes looked puffy as she barely blinked her eyes or tried to sleep all night long, Carmella didn’t come home the previo itus night and this got her very worried, earlier in the day she had seen her hurrying off looking like one who was being chased by a beast, when she tried to confront her about where she was going her response was cold and that left her unsatisfied, for some reasons she felt that something was going on and Carmella was up to something, but whatever it is that she was up to, she couldn’t press a finger on it. The room was cold and her candle was still burning gently at the corner though she could see tiny rays sharing it’s self into her room through the slightly open bamboo window, she brushed her hands across her hair licking her lower lip while she dwelled in her
Carmella lifted her eyes and caught her mother glaring at her, she gulped hard acknowledging the fact that she was truly in deep trouble, she ran her hand across her face wondering why she didn’t make up a story on her way home on what to tell her mother when she gets home, she sighed shaking her head in silence, she wouldn’t blame her poor brain after all, she was just more worried about getting Joshua and the fact that she almost lost her life all because of Diana, she just couldn’t get the words of Azora off her head and the fear that Azora might have decided not to help her or have anything to do with her was really eating deep into her, she looked up at her mother, the glare was getting heavier with each second that swept by and what scares her the most is that she wasn’t saying anything, she have been waiting for her to yell and ask questions and hopefully she might know exactly where to come in and try to answer her so many questions but no, Zara was j
Carmella still choked longer, she rubbed her throat over and over again while trying to clear her voice, she could feel a heavy bunch of mucus gathered at the edge of her throat and this caused her to vomit again, Zara walked back into the house, she needed to get her a cup of warm water hoping that this might ease the pain but deep down she felt really scared and worried, how was it possible that Carmella got poisoned? Who could have done something as horrible as that to her daughter? She thought in silence moving straight to kitchen, previously she felt horribly weak and all she wanted to do was do the house chores, take a nice bath, eat something and have a long rest but seeing her daughter that way, strength that she couldn’t explain were it came from was already flowing through her veins and muscles making it possible for her to be able to pull down a building just to stabilize her daughter, she quickly filled a cup with water and went straight outside to Carmella who had
