"Nancy are you okay?" Norinika asked concerned.
"Yes," I nod. "I need some fresh air," I said as I gait out of the room. Betty followed me outside. Deminika and Norinika were left confused. "What is her problem now?" Deminika shrugs.
"Do you smell that?" says Norinika sniffing in the air.
"Which werewolf got the nerve to show its face near your cottage?" Deminika growls.
I found Wolfe outside gazing at me from afar, he always follows me in secret. I run to hug him, "I miss you Wolfe," I whimpered. Ever since my last episode, I have not seen him. I cuddle it furs as he sniffs my hair.
"Leo?" Everyone stares in awe.
Another wolf came along and howls at him. Its eyes glowed red that was when I realized it was Baby in his wolf form. It was dark the last time I saw him in his wolf form now I can clearly see his wolf well.
"These two wolves have some nerve?" Deminika pouts.
Wolfe howls back as they angrily face each other. They were about to attack each other when I stood in the middle of them.
"Nancy! Leave there, you get could hurt," Betty and Roland scream.
I couldn't explain where I wasn't scared standing in between them. They were animals after all and it was impossible for them to have any kind of human feelings but I trusted my instincts.
"No fighting please," I let out a murmur as I raise my hand in front of Baby we shared eye contact, I just knew he will never hurt me and so is his wolf. He fixes his gaze at me before turning to leave without attacking. Wolfe whims as I pass my free hand through its fur.
"How do I get the cure, Nika?" Roland asked determined as we all walk back to the basement.
"What do you think, you are some great wizard?" Deminika chuckled.
"Just tell me Nika," Roland repeated ignoring Deminika's words.
"Roland, this poison was made by our great aunty, she became greedy that she practiced black magic to hurt people. People travel from far and near places to seek her help.
She was prodigious at making these kinds of venoms. 17 years ago, she died before she could make the antidote for it. This was her last masterpiece.
Many other witches did try to make the antidote but failed. My mum told us they couldn't find the poison and no one really knew what happened to it, so tell me how you got this?" Norinika narrated.
"Nancy has been carrying this in her body for the past 17 years Nika and I have to get her the antidote," Roland whimpered as Deminika and Norinika glared at me as if I was a lab rat good for their witchery experiment.
"The very first time I saw you, Nancy, I always knew you were something special, how on earth did a mere human survive without an antidote for all these years?" Deminika awe. For the first time since I met her this is the first time, she had a different reaction other than frown.
"Unless," Deminika, Norinika, and Roland said in a unison.
"Unless what?" Betty asked.
"The poison can't be clear from your system without the antidote that means there is a different poison keeping it from reacting completely,"
Norinika said what was on Roland and Deminika's minds. If their presumption is correct it means my medication is actually another poison to subdue the stronger poison.
"You mean I have been taking in poison as my medicine?" I asked surprised. "Yes, it's the only way you are still alive right now," Norinika said.
"What then? How do we get the antidote for her?"
Betty asked still holding me.
"Are you not listening fatty? The person who made the poison died before she could make the antidote, dummy," Deminika yelled.
"But if we know what the poison was made of, we could make the antidote and I know where we could start looking," Norinika said.
That's encouraging there is still hope for me.
"Where?"
"Great Auntie's hut, maybe she left a clue or something" Norinika smiled.
She gave me a warm smile. "Don't worry Nancy we will make you the antidote soon enough don't lose hope and besides the girl that can control the alpha king is no simple girl," Norinika said with a grin and I believed her.
There was a slight hope that hit my face as she holds my hands.
{Can you believe her medication is actually another poison?}
