Now, I think I should have that night with him. I don’t mind you watching.”
She pulled off her cloth, climbing on him. Theodora’s eyes flew open, “Get away from my husband, Bîtch.”
“Husband? He was supposed to be my husband and not yours.”
Theodora rushed to pull her off him but then she heard her name. “Dora?” She looked at Raymond who was staring confused at her.
She looked down, a part of her was on his stomach. She crossed her legs, faking a wide smile, “Hey. You’re awake.”
“Your nose, it’s bleeding.”
She touched her nose, feeling the liquid texture, and she wiped it off with the back of her hand.
She turned that her back rested on his chest. She was amazed at what just happened. One minute it was her with Sophie and the next, it’s her on the bed with Raymond.
She smiled. Were all those a dream? Or is it her imagining they all did happen?
“How long have you been up?” She asked.
“Not quite long, I guess. Where have you been?” He asked back.
“I uhmm… I went to meet Holland.” She lied. “You were worried about me, weren’t you?”
“Of course. This is the second time I have to wake up without seeing you beside me. ”
” Honestly, I was having an issue with…uhmm.. some girls stuffs so, I had to meet her to help me out.”
” Girls stuff?” He repeated.
” Yeah, girls stuff.”
” I don’t understand. ”
” Better.”
” You sure you don’t wanna tell me what this… girl stuff is? ”
” You really do wanna know what it is? “She asked.
” Of course, I do.”
” I’m on my period.” She said in a whisper
“Oh. Oh, girl’s stuff.” She smiled at him.
” Hey, come on, don’t be ashamed. You’ll get use to it. ”

The merchant who always provides the pack with perishable and nonperishable goods is said to have gotten stucked along the road
With the aid of a map, Raymond directed both his royal guard and the chief commander on where to meet the merchant.
Theodora was so excited that she was aware of a part of her powers, though she knew there are more to know about her gift.
She was imagining how she had twisted those plastic statue that she didn’t realize that what she was thinking was actually displaying in reality.
Two guards just rushed in, breathing like a chased rat. “Your Majesty.”
“What is it?”
“We think someone is practicing witchcraft in the fortress. ”
He furrowed his brows. ” Witchcraft?” He repeated.
” Yes, sire.”
” Why would you say that?” He sternly asked.
” There were three plastic status at the hallway, then all of a sudden they all twisted in half and vanished. It didn’t happen once, it kept repeating itself like five times.” The guard complained.
Theodora’s eyes widened in shock, but she acted normal that no one would notice her.
“Search the fortress, report any suspicious activity…” He paused for a while, then continue. ” Find that witch.”

“Find that witch.”
I’m dead. So dead.
I don’t have magic, but I have powers which looks almost like witchcraft.
I can control things with my hands, my mind and even by mere looking at them. Not just that, I have the power to twist, deform, amend and to destroy. Isn’t it super great?!
Smiles.
I know I just did some discovery, and I ain’t fit to face Sophie. I’m pretty sure she must have underwent some witch trainings which are unexplainable.
I can’t believe I created an illusion too, confusing those poor guards to think there is actually a witch in the castle.
Of course not, I am the witch here. Now, that’s the problem, they are gonna find out how the illusion came to be.
I can’t even explain myself if they find out that it was I. And Raymond, who knows what he might do to me?
I am so dead.
As if that wasn’t enough, the guard from last night, the very one I smacked the door on his nose just came to report the incident of last night.
I had to tell Raymond that I was really tired and I need to get some rest. Wh@tëver they were gonna say about the room, it’s none of my business.
While the guard was still reporting the incident bit by bit, I went to the room, using my mind, I sealed the door, making it impossible for any of them to open it.
Wh@tëver that happens next, is still none of my business.
I noticed something rolling out of my nose, I ain’t bleeding again, am I?
This is bad. This is really really bad.
They are gonna find me if this keeps happening. I can’t use my powers without bleeding.
I think the only way to escape this is to let Raymond know about it. No, he doesn’t have to know now. At least not yet.
I can cover my @$$ as long as I can.
