CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE
MIA
Ricardo and i just walked out of the police station, I decided to go give that witch a piece of my mind.
But the anger in my heart isn’t gone yet, I’m still pissed.
Too pissed to let it out in few minutes.
Calm down a little, Mia, Ricardo spoke behind me as I gulped a good amount of water down my throat, in a haste.
The water is not running Mia, he said snatching the bottle from me.
Give that back! I yelled at him.
Get into the car, Mia, he replied tiredly.
Reluctantly I walked into the car, he joined me, then drove off.
I was still sighing.
Those guards should have let me give her a proper beating, why will they drag me out when she’s the criminal?
You’ve done your part Mia, I’m sure Blue would be proud of you, Ricardo spoke while concentrating on the road.
We just submitted the video to the police.
That alone is enough to get her jailed for a good number of years.
Trying to indict someone for her crime too, that’s so much atrocity to be ignored.
I wish i could also tell them what she did to my real mom and to Blue and to August’s grandmother.
I wish I could tell them that she’s not just a witch but a blood sucking vampire.
But who would believe that?
They are already having a hard time digesting how she killed him with just a staff, mentioning witches and vampires will just make it worse
Thanks to Mr Enoch and Daphane, Dad hasn’t been sulking, he’s been eating pretty well and has been playing with everyone.
Dad has been doing a good job at hiding his sadness and he’s been obedient enough to completely stay in doors.
The media and TV stations has been going crazy about the whole incident,the wickedness of a mother to accuse her own child of a murder she committed herself.
But most importantly,they have been going about posting “Where is Blue Corbyn” in hashtags.
Did we for a moment forget she’s a movie actress before letting her go away so easily.
Now her industry, manager and colleagues has been bombing my phone with calls.
How do I tell them she doesn’t belong to this world?
Would they believe me if I told them she’s a powerful witch who was smuggled into our world like a crayfish when she was little?
Argh!… Its ringing again!
They are calling again!
Aren’t you going to answer? Ricardo asked taking a left turn.
I’m going to turn to a pretty robot if I keep answering those calls and repeating the same words.
Did you say pretty? He asked with a scoff.
What?
Am I not pretty? I asked taking a look at the mirror.
What you just saw… he said pointing at the mirror… is that pretty? he mocked.
I looked at my self again.
I just have bags in my eyes because I haven’t slept properly, but I look pretty, look…here, I look prettier from the right, can’t you see? I asked showing him the right side of my face.
There is nothing to see, he replied coldly.
Thats not true!
I’m pretty pretty, Blue thinks…..
She was just trying to make you feel good.
What?
I get that you only think Blue is pretty that doesn’t mean I’m not pretty, I blow guys away at work, I bragged.
I work in the same place, remember? he spoke laughing scornfully.
Alright… just shut up and drive, I whispered through gritted teeth.
His laughter filled the car but I was busy sulking.
How can he not think I’m pretty, huh?
Let’s go, he said once he parked the car in front of a restaurant.
We promised to get everyone take outs, dad would be excited, I thought getting out of the car.
The brat couldn’t even open the door for me, if it was Blue he would have rushed over like a gentle man, what a sly fox!
I ran after him since he didn’t even wait for me.
I’ll surely get back at you.

After they got the foods, Ricardo called a taxi for her, he had to be somewhere important.
Immediately he was sure she was safe, he drove out of the parking lot, returning to the same part they came from.
He was driving back to the station.

Zelda who kept sleeping till noon forgetting the world she’s in finally opened her eyes lazily.
Its so cold, she whined covering herself properly with the thick blanket.
She felt Beiber’s furs brush her skin, smiling she picked him up and covered him too with the blanket.
You are awake, your highness, she heard a voice that she didn’t recognize.
Turning to the other side, lazily, she stared at the legs of the one who greeted her.
Then she lifted her head to see the face of the head maid, watching her.
Jeez, the old hag, she muttered as she remembered where she was.
Good morning, she greeted, she knew the head maid wasn’t her mate anyway, even if she didn’t like her.
Sarah’s brows creased in surprise but she was quick to hide it.
Its noon, your highness, she replied walking to the window to properly close the curtains.
You must be cold your highness, I prepared a hot bath for you, she said and Zelda just stared.
She didn’t want to create a scene anymore but that doesn’t mean she isn’t mad at all of them.
Where’s Queen? Zelda managed to ask.
You mean Florence? Sarah asked.
I do not know who Florence is, where is Queen? Zelda demanded.
She will be here soon, Your highness, Sarah responded with a bow.
Alright, Zelda replied standing up from the bed then turned to arrange the bed.
No! Your Highness, you shouldn’t do that, Sarah almost yelled.
She rushed over and took the bed spread from Zelda who just watched her.
Don’t tell me I’m going to be useless here, She asked.
Its not like that your highness, but you aren’t allowed to do chores, that’s why there are maids to do them here, Sarah replied.
What will I be doing then?
Practicing… learning our language and cultures, learning to use your powers, My Queen, Sarah replied while adjusting the edges.
Good afternoon, Your Highness, Queen replied from the door.
She came in with the girl from yesterday.
Oh Hi, how are you doing Queen? Zelda asked walking towards her like she just saw her playmate.
I’m fine, My Queen.
How was your night?
Did you both get a good night sleep? She asked this time, directing the question to both of them.
Yes, My Queen, they both replied.
Sarah cleared her throat and they all turned to look at her.
I’m sorry to interrupt you, My Queen,she spoke with a bow.
Its fine, what is it about?
Its full moon today, My Queen.
And what does that mean?
It means every one would be on the edge today.
Especially the wolves and vampires.
Everyone would be sensitive today too, so I… I….
I should should be careful moving about today? Zelda completed for her.
Yes My Queen, I guess you would want to take a walk around the village, Sarah replied.
I can leave it till tomorrow, I still need to get to know everyone in the palace first, would you be my tour guide? She asked the two girls.
The second girl looked up and was surprised to see that she was included in the tour.
Ofcourse,My Queen, we would love that, Queen replied for the both of them.
That would be all them, I should take my leave, Sarah said me Zelda nodded.
She watched her walk away then she faced the girls.
What’s your name? she asked the other girl who kept shifting uuncomfortably.
Its… its Edna, My Queen, she replied with shaky voice and hands.
Zelda stared at her hands then at her face.
She could still sense that dark energy from her but she couldn’t tell what it was about.
Edna, it seems like you do not like me, Zelda spoke walking towards the bathroom with Beiber on her arms
I’m sorry, My Queen,she pleaded going on her knees.
What’s that about? You should get up, Zelda spoke but she remained there.
Look, I don’t know how things work here but I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
You don’t have to like me, okay, she added with a smile.
I’m sorry, My Queen, its not…..
You can get up now and help me choose a dress, Zelda cut her off.
Slowly she got up but her legs were shaking.
She didn’t know how to feel.
She thought she was going to get caught and punished but she didn’t expect the Queen to wave it aside so easily.
That kept her on an edge.
Is the Queen going to start watching her from now on?
Is she going to get into trouble?
She didn’t know what to think as her hands shook while she touched the clothes.
Where is your King? She heard Zelda ask Queen.
The King already left the palace, My Queen, she replied
Zelda sighed but didn’t say a word.
You can take care of Beiber, I’ll have my bath myself, Zelda whispered.
Yes, My Queen, Queen whispered too.
She made sure to properly close the curtain so Edna won’t know she’s letting the Queen bath herself.
Once Zelda was done, she took Beiber herself, bathed and cleaned him properly before letting him down so he can walk out while she allowed Queen wear the robe on her.
Getting out, she signalled Edna to dress her up instead of Queen
Now that she knows she doesn’t like her, she won’t try to make her more of an enemy.
It would definitely dangerous to treat Edna like an enemy.
Pulling her closer and getting her to feel relaxed around her would be better, as the saying goes…
Its better to have your enemies closer.
The dark energy she was feeling from her isn’t something to be neglected but she won’t just jump into conclusion.
She would keep her closer then watch her and see what she’s up to.
What creature are you? Zelda asked her.
I’m a werewolf, My Queen, Edna replied.
That means you would also be on the edge too?
Yes, My Queen.
What about you, Queen?
I’m an Elf, My Queen.
An Elf?
What about your ears? Zelda asked in excitement.
She remembered the elf she saw at the border.
His ears had made her laugh.
Can I see it? she asked.
Queen tucked her hair behind hers and her long ears became visible.
Its so beautiful, Zelda exclaimed as she used the tip of her finger to touch it.
Queen smiled shyly.
No one has ever told her that her ears are beautiful, some other creatures laugh at them sometimes.
Are you both done? she asked.
Yes My Queen, they chorused.
Let’s take a tour then!! Zelda said her hands in the air.
She let them take the lead and she followed behind them.
The maids outside almost frightened her.
She almost forgot they will be there.
She smiled and nodded to their greetings as they followed behind her too.
Where does your King always go to?
Does he always leave the palace? Zelda asked since she couldn’t hold it in anymore.
She was perplexed.
Why make her feel he really wanted her here but he keeps leaving?
How does he expect her to feel?
The King rode out with Our White Horse, My Queen, she heard Evenius speak.
Oh, It’s you… Good afternoon Sir, she greeted and Evenius smiled.
Greetings My Queen, he replied.
Do you mind joining us?
We are taking a tour!
If it pleases you My Queen, he replied.
Ofcourse, it does, join us, Zelda spoke happily.
She still clutched on to Beiber but hasn’t uttered a word to him.
She felt like she didn’t know him anymore.
You didn’t say where he went to, Mr……
Its Evenius, My Queen.
Mr Evenius, you didn’t say where he went, Zelda asked again.
I would love it if you call me Evenius, My Queen, Evenius whispered.
You are way older than my dad, I would personally chop off the mouth of a 25 years old calling my dad Joe, Zelda joked and Evenuis laughed.
You have a mind of your own, My Queen, that’s nice,he completely.
I know right? You are the only one that understands me here, She whispered with a smile.
You keep evading the question, Mr Evenius, Zelda pointed out with a smirk.
You are with him, My Queen, you should ask him, he replied with a smirk too.
They both glanced at Beiber.
Come, I will show you around… when do you want to start practicing, My Queen, he asked diverting her attention.
Would you help me practice? Mr Evenius?
Uhm… if you…
I want you to… so will you?
Ofcourse,Evenius replied with a nervous laughter.
Then we can start now, the tour can wait, Zelda replied
TBC
What’s Ricardo up to?
