why did you come here?,she asked.
You didn't go to school today,she added .
How would I go when I know won't come,he said as she sat down beside him.
Sigh*she gave out a heavy sigh as she was seated.
I have this feeling something is still bordering you,Ayden said.
You didn't tell me everything last night,did you?,he asked and she shook her head.
Fred has just being acting strange ,it's like ever since he came here ,he changed suddenly,last night he even tried having his way with me,Alexa said sadly.
Ayden didn't say anything as his eyes carried a dark light,maybe coming here revealed his true self to you,he said after a short silence.
I think it will be best if you move back in with your mother ,I won't like you staying here for another day,he said protectively.
I called his mom,she will be back today and I will probably go back today,she said matter of fact.
I missed you,Ayden said all of a sudden.
Did you also see me as a game,you know,bet?,she asked him also ignoring what he said
I tried forgetting that I was some tool for your revenge plot,and each time it comes back to me,I wonder if you still think that way or...,she said and was cut short.
Noo. don't say it again,the first day I saw you I knew you were different but just didn't know how and I didn't get a chance to know you before placing the bet,but believe me I fell for you instantly and forgot about everything ,I am sorry if I hurt you.
I don't blame you,I acted tough and all so maybe I seemed like an easy target to your gang,she said with a smile.
I don't think it's that,let's just forget it,by the way I admitted to losing the bet and even paid for it,Ayden said.
How have you being after our visit,he said not saying much words.
Sigh*I don't know,ever since we came back I have being feeling really suffocated and restless,I need to know what she want from me,she said talking about the witch and Ayden looked at her with a cocked brow.
Soo..I was wondering if we could go back ,she said hesitantly.
When?,he asked which surprised her as she thought he wouldn't accept.
Uhh..can we go today,I just want everything out of my system,she said.
But you do know you might still be unsuccessful in doing that,Ayden said making her knot her brow.
You are like this because you want to know the truth and put everything behind you,but what if something else happens and you won't ever return to your normal life,he said making her confused.
So you're saying me knowing the full truth might put my life in danger,she concluded to which he nodded.
If so then I will still want to know the truth,she said like the courageous little brat she was.
Let's go now then,he said but she was reluctant.
Fred is alone,I can't leave him,she said but was cut short by the sound of someone on the phone approaching them.
She soon cut the call and looked at them.
Hey aunty,Alexa greeted and hugged Fred's mum.
How are you dear?,she asked to which Alexa hummed approvingly.
I'll take care of Fred okay,you just go home,she said before looking at Ayden.
Take her home safely,she said to Ayden as a he seemed close to Alexa.
*****
When they arrived at the apartment Ayden stayed in,he took her inside and as he closed the door he held her and she could see herself in another world.
Let's go,he said and brought out his hand to which Alexa took and they went to visit the witch again.
As they reached the entrance of the witch forest,Alexa stopped to talk to Ayden,she turned to him before saying"can you not come in this time",she said half asking.
I just want answers nothing more once I am done I will be out,she said hurriedly before he could even speak.
What if that witch tries something funny with you,Ayden said not giving her a chance.
Please let me just do this,am not some weak ,pathetic girl who needs protection every single minute of their life,just trust me,she said holding his hands and he sighed in defeat.
If you are not out in 20minutes,I will go in,Ayden said and Alexa smiled before walking into the forest.
she had a sharp memory and was able to remember where she met the witch so she was able to find her.
I thought you won't show your face again and the episode yesterday,the witch said.
I don't believe in giving up,Alexa said with confidence.
If you don't learn to control something then sure enough it's going to control you,so of course if you lack courage you will only chicken out,she said which impressed the witch.
Words of inspiration coming from the warrior princess,she said as alexa walked towards her and sat down with confusion written over her face.
You've never wondered about the brithmark at the lower region of your waist,she said shocking the h*ll out of Alexa as no one knew about the birthmark except her mom.
It's just a birthmark, what's there to wonder,she said.
Does a regular birthmark look like a trident that changes colour depending on your mood,have you considered why you always have unbearable pain in your back,the witch said while Alexa waited for everything to sink before she says anything.
How does it change depending on my mood,when am angry or sad what happens,Alexa asked making the witch laugh.
Check it out yourself,the witch said and Alexa felt something wierd about her hand,she looked at it as a dark wind appeared and vanished making her scared.
What just happened,she asked.
It's the first phase to accepting who you are,the witch said convincingly.
Which emotion controlled that thing in my hand?,Alexa asked.
It's a power not a thing,not understanding what I was saying before now brought up this power,the witch explained.
