“WHAT?!”
“Do you want to get fired?” boss asked boredly.
“-N-no i- no sir but-”
“-How do appreciate your boss?” Boss interupted my stuttering.
I stared at the ground, confused and desperate. What to do? What to do?
“What would you like me to do for you boss?” I asked seriously.
“Drive me home.”
I nearly choked for an instant, “What?”
“Your car is really nice and really warm as well. How can you afford something so nice just by working at my bar. Hmm?” Boss said while inspecting Cameron's car which kinda annoyed me. I was already doing well by driving him home. Did he have to ask so many questions?
“Actually it's-” I stopped, not knowing how to explain Cameron's and I relationship.
“Shhh you can never tell anyone what happened”“I don't plan to master, all I request for is to make that monster leave me alone. He never stops coming to my room at night, this can't keep happening-”“-You have to bear it, Beauty, after all, Dante is your father. If I kick him out all of a sudden, people will suspect something happened and I can't have that happen. If rumours travel around the whole realm our reputation will be ruined. But do not worry, I will speak to Dante to ensure it doesn't happen again-”“-But master-”“-Hurry now go to your room. I'll have your snake send wine to your room soon”I heard fading sounds and conversations ringing in my ears. I badly wanted to scream and escape the cage forcing me to listen to a bunch of broken pieces relating to my life. I was done.Why wasn't I dead yet?
Ice cave was still the same. Peaches, beautiful oceans, blue in the night, colourless and clear in the day, apple trees, beautiful red roses and white lilies.I entered the Ice cave and smiled at how warm it felt. There weren't much memories here. Mother and I used to live at the cottage, we only came here a few times to watch the full moon and crescent moon. Whenever the moon was crescent, we'd go to our past leader's graves to pay respect but whenever we couldn't go, we'd just pray and watch the crescent moon.But this was my favourite place, there was barely anyone passing by this place. And also, Cameron didn't know about this place. I never brought him here.I sat down on the ground and sighed deeply. It was the last day of winter, March 19 in the human's realm right now and here in crescent moon, the winter solstice was here. This evening, there would be darkness for a short while. It was a event celebrated in
It had been a few years since I came to Crescent moon. Draco had accustomed to the weather, food, wine and even found a friend called Daniel.Everything had been going on smoothly and peacefully until I got a message from one of Leader Atrix's messengers. Leader Atrix asked me to see her which I didn't want to. At least, not anytime soon because I already knew what she wanted to say and I wasn't ready for that discussion.But no matter how I tried to ignore it I knew I would have to face it sooner or later.Draco had extreme dark energy he couldn't control sometimes, mostly because he wasn't around those who had similar powers as him. If otherwise, he would surely be able to control his powers well.There was a time Draco grabbed a plate of noddles to eat and they turned into black snakes instead, there was also time he also shook his friend arm and froze it. Ever since then, he lost Daniel, his best friend.
“Mother where have you been?” Draco was the first person to bombard me with questions when i arrived back at Ice cave.“Have you eaten?” i asked, changing the topic.“Yes mother, all i have to do is imagine my favorite food in front of me and bam!”My eyes widened at that. Draco did it, didn't he?“When did you eat that??”“After you left. I ate fried rice, two big chicken legs and a very big fish head.” Draco said cheerfully.I immediately felt like passing out. I really wanted to pass out.“Go drink some water quickly” i said to Draco who looked at me inquisitively. Dread filled me as i stared into Draco's eyes.He did the manipulation spell.A manipulation spell could be done by any gods with energy- All it required was an imagina
“Master, why did you decide to come to town today?”After a lot of critical thinking and persuasion from Draco, I decided to come out of my shell and walk around town a little.Surprisingly, it wasn't as peaceful and calm as I expected it to be.“What do you think will become of Crescent moon? Leader Atrix has been poisoned and the council is in turmoil, what do you think will happen when this news spread to the other realms? There are greedy realms aiming for this sort of opportunity..”“Especially Red moon-”“-Don't say that. Those tribe are weak now, we signed a peace treaty with them so they can't possibly rebel now and besides there are a few red moonlites around here, don't let them hear you” another responded in a hushed tone. I was the most confused. I saw Leader Atrix a few days ago and she looked just fine. How could she be poisoned?I turned to ask Ziyah

“Who are you?”I sighed and bowed lightly in submission, it wouldn't be any good to be misunderstood by Leader Atrix's protectors.“Greetings, sisters, please do not misunderstand my coming here. I have come not to harm but seek the welfare of Leader Atrix-”“-How are we supposed to believe you? Many people are worried for Leader Atrix but not many dares to step foot around this vicinity” Sister Nelix said boldly.Nelix used to be like me, a disciple under Leader Atrix. She was very bright and knew almost everything, it was no wonder she became qualified to serve and protect Leader Atrix. With her fast reflexes, she could protect Atrix well.“What Nelix said makes sense, many people are worried about leader Atrix but no one dares come here except the council, could be from the council by any chance? You look posh, charismatic, wise and com
“Ziyah, is anything the matter? Is Draco alright?”I asked Ziyah as soon as I arrived at Ice cave.Ziyah sighed and nodded, “Just that he was really sad. He said you don't care about him and all sorts of nonsense.”I ran my hand through my hair, “What sorts of nonsense did he utter?”I knew it. Sooner or later that kid would misunderstand me. He was too naive. I smiled. What was I thinking? Draco was just a kid, of course he was naive.“Well.. master.. he said you were a bad witch, you're allowed to use your powers but whenever he uses his he's forced to sleep or eat alone in the cave.. H-he also said he.. he'd rather live with his father than you”That was it. I was pissed.“That prick!” I cursed and marched into the cave, “Draco!” “Draco, come out here!”Ziyah follo
