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
Carmella looked up at her mother and smiled brightly, from her childhood she have always known her mother to be good with kind words especially when it has to do with her emotions, well it really worked this time around in calming her down as she felt a lot of peace within unlike before when she was very scared and almost got herself strangled by her own mother “thank you mother and I am very sorry that I did not come home but trust me, I would never want to keep anything from you, I can’t do that mother and you know it, you just have to trust me, I am still your daughter.”Zara nodded “I know but now I am even more worried” she fixed her stare on Carmella.She shrugged looking confused, she could place a finger on exactly what her mother was driving at, what could be bothering her now when she already explained to her that she actually went no where, she wondered looking like a lost child in a desert, she still had her hands wrapped acros
Azora said nothing, she was just as silent as the cold water flowing down the river but her eyes implicated her, it proved that their were words beneath her tongue that she just couldn’t wait to utter, her eyes was moving at every corner of the room despite the fact that she was just in the mirror, she just wanted to make sure that the room was empty, like they always say, the walls have wars. Carmella wrapped the towel tight across her chest folding them properly, her body was still very wet and she really needed to dress up cause she was equally feeling cold but how was she going to tell Azora to disappear and reappear later to tell her whatsoever she had in mind? Of course she couldn’t do that, it hasn’t been up to twenty four hours since she last saw Azora though she feared that she might never be able to see her and perhaps Azora must have dumped her after she carelessly poisoned herself instead of Diana and just didn’t want her lurking around her house
Zara shook her head slowly taking a proper look at Carmella from the crown of her head down to the sole of her feet, her body looked too dried up for someone who was just coming out of the bathroom, what exactly was going on with her daughter, she could tell that something was really off and she had heard her talking to someone but whoever it is she couldn’t tell or was she going mad already cause their was no one else in the house aside the both of them, she shook her head twice at the thought of the fact that possibly her daughter might be loosing her senses to madness, she was getting even more curious now to know exactly what she ate in the woods, their is no herb or fruit she didn’t know, deep down in her heart she prayed it wasn’t what she was thinking “your body looks too dried up for someone who is just walking out of the bathroom and besides, I think I heard you talking to someone, who was that?” These questions sounded weird to Zara even
She could feel a fresh wind of dust ration building up within her, her hands gradually turning wet with sweat and her body soaking gradually though it was already dry, she could feel her forehead dripping of hot sweat as she fixed her gaze on her mother looking like someone who had just returned from the land of the dead “what was her question again?” She mumbled to herself feeling like someone who had just had a memory loss and couldn’t recall anything else not even her name, she squeezed softly at the edge of her towel biting softly on her upper lip while she tried to act like she wanted to remember something, yes.. there came the question her mother had previously asked creeping back into her head, she could hear the echo behind her voice doubling in her head while she wondered why she always makes the mistake of that getting all her lies intact before spilling them, what fruit or leaf was she supposed to tell her mother that she have eaten now? Of course her mo
“Poisonous trees, leaves or fruits are not allowed to grow within these woods, infact once anyone is sighted, it is being cut down at once, we do this just to ensure that evil doesn’t exist in this village no matter what, the only place such can be found is the forbidden part of the woods” she turned to Carmella, her eyes growing wider, looking fierce and filled with rage “you went to the forbidden part of the woods? You went there didn’t you? How could you do that? Only people who have been banished from the village reside there” she said in anger, her heart was beating really very fast now, she knew that Carmella would be in big trouble if Joshua or Queen Emma ever finds out that she crossed to that part of the woods, they would never take it likely with her, what if someone had seen her? What if she was seen by someone and perhaps the person have gone to report her to the royal family? She thought looking even more scared. Carmella couldn&rsquo
Azora arched her brow feeling amused by the sad expression on Carmella’s face, she took a soft sigh turning to the door, the thought of Zara suspecting that her daughter might have crossed to the forbidden part of the woods crept into her mind, she shook his softly wiggling in silence “it’s all going to be over soon Zara, don’t worry… soon I would be back and I just can’t wait to take you down and humiliate you” she mumbled to herself feeling proud of the fact that she has her tight grips on the daughter of her sole enemy, she turned to Carmella who was still shaking in fear, her body had gone completely dry and was turning pale in worry, she still had her hands crossed on her chest, her eyes was gradually turning blood shot, it was obvious that she was gradually getting miserable, well who wouldn’t get miserable when a huge secret is about to be let out of the bag? Who wouldn’t get miserable when all the efforts she have done t
The pale faced Carmella looked up at Azora at the sound of her name wondering why she isn’t asking her question or talking yet, she hated the suspense, it was making her sweat profusely and she didn’t like it, she wanted to get over with her meeting with Azora soonest and feel that finally she has something to work or maybe to die for if that’s the case.“Are you ready, I mean ready to do anything I ask you to do so far as it would make you Joshua’s wife and the next queen of this land?” Azora asked staring straight at her face.Carmella chortled, she didn’t expect Azora to ask her that, as far as she was concerned she have already sold her soul to the devil willing to do whatever it takes to become Joshua’s wife and sit on that throne as the queen not minding what it would cost her, she just didn’t care anymore about what the cost might be, what was more important to her is that her sister does not return to become
