When Amilys returned home, her aunt was outside, waiting for her. "How long are you going to take to just get the vegetables. " She scolded her, with her hands placed on her waist.
"Sorry aunt Morgan." Aunt Morgan's eyes shifted to the basket full of fresh vegetables Amilys held In her arms.
"And where did you get the money to buy fresh vegetables. Don't tell me you are now a thief." Amilys shock her head In denial.
"No aunty, a wizard gifted It to me." Amilys smiled, just at the thought of meeting Jinx again.
"Drop the basket. " Her aunt Instructed, and Amilys dropped the basket to her side. Her aunt motioned for her to come closer, when she did, she pulled her hair with force.
"Ahhh! Aunty, what did I do. " Amilys screamed In pain, but her aunt kept on pulling her hair.
"Apart from being a trouble maker and a curse, you have decided to sell your body, huh!" She then let go of her hair, and gave her a brushed slap on the face.
Amilys' cheeks turned red, she placed her hand on the place her aunt had slapped.
"No aunt, I would never sell my body. " Tears pricked In her eyes. "I swear on my parent's grave, that a wizard gifted this to me, without offering my body to him. " The tears then rolled down the side of her face.
Her aunt hissed at her words. "Why are you such a liar, and your bringing your late parents Into this. Just tell me you work at the brothel, I won't judge you. Besides, you have nice qualities." Her aunt said the last words sarcastically.
Amilys just weeped more. Aunt Morgan then grabbed her arm with a tight grip.
"Do you think anyone would gift anything to you, as wretched looking as you are. You must have offered your smelly body to him, If not, why would he give someone like you something, without you offering him something In return. "
"But I didn't do anything like that. I swear. " She cried more. Her aunt just looked at her with disgust.
"Get Inside this Instance. " Her aunt pointed a finger at the opened door. Amilys didn't rectify herself more, she just went Inside.
"Miss Fiona! " Someone tapped her to wake up. "Miss Fiona!" The person tapped a little harder, and Fiona's eyes slightly opened. It was blur to see who was tapping her, but the person's face gradually became clearer.
"She's awake. " Said the doctor. Fiona's vision patiently took In the faces of who were In her room. She saw her parents, her siblings and two of their female helpers.
"What happened?" She tried raising her head but, the doctor was quick to lay her head back on the pillow.
"Don't force yourself, you need rest. You fell Into a short coma. Your body was lethargic for about eighteen hours. " Explained the doctor, and this got Fiona thinking. Wasn't she just dreaming for a few hours, she thought.
"How Is she Doc ." Asked her dad who looked really worried.
"She Is fine. All she needs Is plenty of rest, her body needs to regain the energy It lost." The doctor stepped away from the bed to face her parents.
"Do we need to buy any supplements she might need. " Asked her mother.
"Not at all, all she needs Is plentiful of rest, and she'll be fine." She smiled warmly at her parents, before putting her stethoscope back Into her black bag. "I'll take my leave then. " She headed for the door and left.
Her dad came closer to pat her head. "Hope your okay. " He patted her head softly, Fiona just nods to reply him. "Okay then, let's leave her to rest then. Everyone out. " He Instructed, and then everyone left her room, Including him.
Fiona was left with her thoughts alone In her room. She recollected the dream she had, bit by bit, everything that happened.
So Amilys was the lady Jinx spoke about In his journal, but how did he hurt her. But again, how will she get more answers from her dream, when she can't go back again. A soft sigh left her lips.
After a while resting In her room, she woke up to the knock on her door. "Come In. " Her voice like a sigh, her dad entered the room with a tray of food.
"Dinner mi amor." He came to settle the tray of food on his laps, after he sat down by her side. He sat In a way where as his body would face her.
"Thanks dad, but you shouldn't stress yourself, I'm fine. " She smiled warmly at him, raising her head from the pillow.
"Not a problem for me dear." He smiled back at her, he then lifts the spoon In the bowl of hot soup, bringing It to his mouth, he blows at It to cool down. "Here, you need to eat, to regain your strength." He brought the spoon to her mouth.
"I can feed myself, dad. " Fiona refused, but he just frowned at her, before she opened her mouth.
"There... " He said, putting the spoon In her mouth.
After some spoons of the soup, she stopped him from giving her more, cause she was full.
"Okay then." He then settled the bowl back on the tray, which was still on his laps. "Drink up. " He brought a glass of water to her lips, before she sipped the whole thing. He cleaned her mouth with a tissue.
"Thanks dad. " She said, clenching her hands on her blanket.
"No problem sweetheart, that's why I'm your father." He went to the table In her room to settle the tray there, he then went back to sit In the same position.
"Dad, I have something to tell you. " She felt nervous, but thought telling her dad was the best thing.
"You can tell me anything, mi amor. " He pats her head.
"Dad.... " She hesitated.
"Yes.... "
"...I went to the party. " She blurted out. She was expecting a frown on his face after that, but he just smiled at her.
"I know." He said, still with the smile on his face.
"You know? How? " Did he send a spy on her, cause she was sure she was very cautious.
"Let's just say a little birdie told me."
"And your not mad or angry." She said with both her brows raised.
"Not at all. I figured after my Instructions, you will still go for the party. Even If I get mad, It won't change the fact that you went. " He pats her head.
"But how did you find out. " She looked at him curious. He stood up, picked the tray and headed for the door. He turned back to say,
"Someone called from Aviva's house, saying Aviva came here to study. And I said she wasn't here, so I figured you went for the party. " He smiled at her, she smiled back awkwardly. "Now, get some rest mi amor. " He then exits the room.
The next day was quick to come, and Fiona wanted to go to school today, but her dad didn't let her, so she was left to rest In her room.
After some hours of resting In her room, someone knocked on the door. "Come In. " She then lifts her head from the pillow, laying It on the bed frame.
A helper peeps her head halfway the door, and said, "Miss Fiona, you have guests. "
"Who Is It, Is It Aviva?" She asked, looking at the side view of the house help.
"Yes, Miss Aviva...,and Sir Twilight." Fiona's head spun In disbelief. Did Twilight care about her well being, or was he looking for who to Insult.
"Let them In then. " After some seconds, Aviva came knock on the door. "Come In. " Fiona said, like she was tired of saying 'come In'.
Aviva entered with a bouquet of flowers and a chocolate box, with a smile on her face. "Hey bestie. How's your health." She then came to sit by her side, placing the bouquet of flowers on Fiona's laps, and the chocolate box, by the side. "I brought you this."
"I'm fine Aviva, and thanks for this. " She placed her hands on the beautiful yellow flowers. "How has school been. " Fiona's smiled back at her. She wondered why Twilight didn't come In.
"School has been full of gossips. From Caesar's party, to more fu-. " Fiona cut her blabbering.
"Aviva! C'mon, give me a break for once. Even with my current condition. " Aviva just kept mute.
"Sorry, just missed you. And Twilight came too. I guess he missed his science partner." She winked at Fiona.
"So where Is he. " She asked curious.
"Seems like you missed him too." Aviva raised and dropped her brows, Indicating that Fiona was In love. Fiona just rolled her eyes. "His down stairs. But don't worry, your medicine Is on the way. " She giggled, Fiona glared at her. She then got up from the bed.
"I gotta go Fiona, have karate class to go to, get well soon. Oh! Twilight where are you. " She teased
"Very funny, and have fun. " Aviva waved at her, before she said,
"Byeee! " As she exists through the door.
Fiona stepped down from the bed, carried the small bouquet of flowers and dropped It on her study table, before she went back to lie on her bed. She then heard footsteps near her room door.
On hearing the door open slowly, she closed her eyes.
The person closed the door behind him, like he was sneaking Into the room. He dragged a chair from her study table, and brought It to sit by her side.
Fiona sensed the familiar aura and scent, knowing quit well It was Twilight. He had this thick scent that she couldn't explain.
Fiona continued to pretend sleep, when he leaned to her, used a hand to place some strands of her hair that was out of place, proper.
"So how long are you going to pretend. " Fiona was shocked that he knew she wasn't sleeping. But she was quit the pretender, she thought.
With no reply, and Fiona continued to fake sleep, he leaned back at her, and pinched her nose.
"Ouch!" Fiona swung her eyes open. Raising her head from the bed. She touched her nose which was now red.
When she was done rubbing her nose, she looked at him with knitted brows, saying, "What was that for." He looked at her with a straight face, like he had done nothing.
"I thought you were sleeping. " He raised a brow. Fiona glared at him. "Apart from being a terrible actor, you are a very silly girl. " He then put a leg over the other.
"And who said I was pretending. And what are you even doing here. "
"I'm here to sell air. " He answered sarcastically. He then dropped the keg that was over the other.
"Can't you just answer a question without being sarcastic." He looked straight Into her eyes, feeling no remorse for what he did.
"I answer Intelligent questions, and answering yours would make me dumb. " She didn't reply him, he then stood up to get a bouquet of flowers he kept, when Fiona was pretend sleeping.
She looked at him with knitted brows, as he came to settle the flowers on her laps. There where white carnations.
"And why did you get me this. " She looked at the flowers on her laps, then at him.
"You seem to like asking the obvious. " He raised an eyebrow. She just looked at him still confused. "I came to check If your dead or not, but since your not, the flowers can be 'get well soon flowers', then." Fiona's expression left In awe. Did he really mean what he said.
"And why would you think am dead. " She asked, with a brow raised.
"Cause anything can kill you. Be It demons, evil spirits or monsters. And judging from your physique, skinny legs, your not that strong. " He emphasized the last words.
"My name Is Fiona, not skinny legs. " She said, to sit on the bed, closer to where he sat. "And what do you mean demons and monsters." Fright pricked In her mind.
He looked amused that he was scaring her. He Inched his face closer to hers. "Yes Miss Marvin, anything can kill and snap your neck." He snapped his fingers, Indicating a snapping sound. Where as Fiona held fright on her face.
"Nothing will happen to me. " Her voice shaky. He moved his face away from hers, to say,
"Really? Nothing?!" He smirk before getting up from the chair. "You never know Miss Marvin, anything can happen to anyone." Fiona's face Itched In fear. But one side of her mind thought he was joking. He got to the door, grabbed the handle, about exiting, before saying,
"Get well soon Miss Marvin. " He then left the room, closing the door slowly, to Induce the fear In her.
He wanted to make her condition worse, she thought. Even In this state, he didn't stop a bit to either Insult or scare her.
