Avery's POV
That mean girl. I understand that she obviously dislike me but does she have to be so rude to me?Today's a bad day isn't it?First I had to face those counsel men now it's Penelope. I wonder what her relationship with Liam is. The door opened and Liam came in.
"Its time for dinner"He said and I nodded.
"Let's go" He said and I nodded again.
"Aren't you going ?"He asked.
"I am" I said and walked pass him. I got to the dining room and saw Penelope already eating. I sat down and ate mine too.I noticed that Liam ate more of meat than the other foods there.
"You love meat that much ?"I asked and Penelope scoffed.
"Yes"Liam replied and I clipped my mouth.
"I heard you're here in place of your elder sister" Penelope said.
"Yes. I am "I answered with a bored tone. Am tired of answering this same question over and over again.
"Why did your sister refuse to marry, Liam?"She asked. I can't bad mouth my sister that will be a wrong thing to do .
"Cause she's in love with another man" I said and they turned to me as if they knew I was lying.Though Liam's face was still in the hoodie.
"Why does king Liam often hide his face in that hoodie despite having a handsome face?"I asked but was replied with silence from the both of them .
"This is the most boring dinner I've had since I was born"I muttered to myself.
"Avery "Penelope called and I stared into her eyes and got lost.
Liam's POV
This little human girl is really funny. I heard her muttered words and found a smile on my face. If she knew the real identity of the people she was dining with she would have fainted a long time ago.
"Avery "Penelope called and when Avery turned to make an eye contact with her but it was more than a simple eye contact. She wanted to read her, go deep into her memory lane.
"Stop this ,Penelope" I ordered and she stopped.
"What just happened?"Avery asked.
"I called you and you just kept staring at me. I don't do girls, Avery" Penelope replied.
"I didn't know I was staring. Sorry about that"Avery said but Penelope still had her eyes on her.
"Can't you feel it , Liam ?"Penelope asked through our mind link.
"Shut up and eat "I ordered and cut off the link.
"Avery, I heard you're an illegitimate daughter of the king .Who's your mother then ?"Penelope asked.
"Am sorry, Penelope but I don't want to talk about that. Thanks for the dinner" Avery said and left the table. Penelope cast a barrier in the dining arena immediately Avery left.
"There's something different about her, Liam. I felt it. She has a familiar energy I don't recall how I came in contact with" Penelope said.
"All thanks to your curiosity,that girl didn't even eat enough before leaving the table" I said and she shrugged.
"I asked her a simple question. I didn't tell her to stop eating. I hate humans reactions to simple things. It irks me"She said.
"She's gonna die this night anyway. What's the point of eating till she's full ?"She asked and left the table. She has a point anyway. I went to the room and saw Avery sleeping.There were still lines of dried tears on her face. Did she cry?Humans are really weak. I carried her and disappeared from the room then appeared in the witch's hut.
"I didn't expect you by this time , my Lord" She said.
"Start the ritual" I ordered and she began to make some incantations.She took a knife and was about to stab her heart when she suddenly made a loud scream and fell, her nostril was bleeding too.
"We can't use her , my Lord" She said and I caught the fear in her voice.
"What did you see?"I asked.
"When I was about to stab her heart, I saw a blinding light and before I knew what was happening, a strong force hit me" She said and I glanced at Avery that was still lying down unconsciously.
"My Lord, there's something different about her. She may not be who we think she is" She said and threw away the knife.
"If I try stabbing her again, I might not make it alive"She said and I disappeared with Avery.
I appeared in our room and laid her on the bed.
"Who are you , Avery?"I asked and disappeared. I appeared at the roof top of the castle and after some time , Penelope appeared beside me.
"Is she dead now?"She asked.
"No. The witch couldn't stab her.A force of some kind hit her when she was about to do that"I said and she shrugged.
"Am not surprised, Liam. I felt that energy in her though it was almost unnoticeable.What are you gonna do?"She asked.
"Discovery" I replied and disappeared.
Penelope's POV
I wasn't surprised when Liam told me the ritual didn't work out. I felt that energy in her when we were eating.Since I left the dining, I've been trying to recall where I met that similar enery that came out of Avery and just when I was about to stop thinking, I recalled Isla!. That energy I felt from Avery is similar to that of Isla.Do they have a connection that no one knows of? I appeared in front of Liam's room and when I didn't feel his aura, I materialized into the room. I approached the sleeping Avery and checked out her facial features, they don't have any similar resemblance.I placed two of my fingers on her forehead. Am gonna go into the deepest part of her memory.I concentrated my power on my finger tips and closed my ears.I got to her memory but there was a strong barrier on it. One I couldn't penetrate. Avery is not an ordinary human!
