"Where are you going, Demetrius?" I saw him stepping back before his eyes roamed around as if he was looking for someone. "Demetrius...?" I looked for where he was looking and saw that Niccolo was rushing towards his direction.
"Demetrius..." Niccolo approached him.
"Niccolo..." Demetrius looked at him, still having a horrified expression. "She's here..." he muttered. I was unable to hear it, but I could read his lips. "Auntie Ray is here... She cannot see me. She is going to return me to where I come from. Mother already warned me about her before I arrived here..."
Huh? What?
"What do you mean by that?" I couldn't help stepping forward even though the surrounding was covered with applause. "Who are you talking about?"
Demetrius opened his mouth, but Niccolo chimed in. "I must take you away from this party," he said, rushing to look for the exit. "I am sorry, Dominixe. But Demetrius is not feeling well. I shall come back before the ceremony starts."
