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
Zara walked into the living room lost in her thoughts, her mind clouded with the fact that maybe her daughter was being totally honest with her or perhaps she was keeping something from, she shook her head slightly disagreeing with the thought that truly just like she had previously suspected, that Carmella might have crossed over to the forbidden part of the woods and that was where she found the strange lead and fruits with she fed on, she sighed rubbing her hand across her forehead, hot sweats were already dripping from it, she didn’t know exactly what to think or believe anymore, her daughter or her instinct, but her instinct have never been wrong, she gently moved over to the wooden chair, she sat though she looked totally uncomfortable, she wondered if she should ask her the exact spot she slept the previous night or maybe the place she slept, some how she might find the leaf and the fruit, she scoffed loudly knowing that Carmella would definitely get pissed off this tim
Joshua nodded “my mother have loved her life, she should allow me live mine, I still want to be happy and I have decided to place my happiness above whatever she wants for me especially now that things are beginning to fall into place, the human’s charms on Diana is fading which is good news” he smiled clearing his throat slightly “I just can’t wait to bring her back, I came to ask you when we can go to see her again or should I say bring her back home” he looked very eager taking a glance at Terry who nodded in agreement.Zara adjusted her veil, she didn’t know what to say but simply smiled while she thought about when would actually be the perfect time to bring her daughter back home meanwhile Carmella had noticed voice while she was dressing up in her room, she could recognize the voice though they were distinct, she wondered what they were discussing, so she gently unlocked her door and tip toe hiding behind the door that led to t
