Mila felt her core shook while Jasmine's eyes roamed around the room . Her black eyes glanced over behind every seat in the room , trying to detect something or someone that she doesn't even know . How did the person know they are here ? Jasmine could only wonder . She has heard of these mysterious gifter that has caused her sister's freedom and she despise this person more than she despise a pedophile .
Her black eyes glance over to her sister , not wanting or anticipating to see her broken figure . But Mila sat there looking down at a small card in her hand .
Jasmine glanced over at her mother , keeping guard so that she wouldn't see the card in Mila's hand and make it a task to snatch this one away too .
Mila looked at the card , although the words were already painted in her mind . Leave this rose behind , you'll lose your life little princess . She was breathing heavily while her eyes were attached to the words , precisely the words you'll lose your life which means she'll die. Will this person kill her just because she leaves the roses behind ?
Her golden brown eyes trail to the rose . Always with it's thorns , ready to prick whoever . She has never actually touched the roses and nor did her parents or the people who come to clean up the roses . Her father had believed that maybe the roses are coated with poison that might kill her the second she touches them .
Suddenly , Jasmine snatched the rose from the book . Mila's eyes darted to her younger sister and before she could stare any longer , she saw their mother approaching them .
"It your turn girls . What have you picked ?" Their mother asked , taking the book that rested on Mila's lap and going through the pages while Mila hid the card under her thigh .
Her mother spoke about the best and worst picks while Mila glanced at her sister . Jasmine had long winced and Mila could only tell that the thorns had pricked her .
Jasmine's mouth formed an o as she entertains their mother . At the side - she opened her handbag and placed the rose inside . When Jasmine retreated her hands , Mila saw the small patches of fresh blood on Jasmine's right fingers . When her golden brown eyes trailed up to the black eyes to give out a full warning through eyes only , the black eyes lifted a brow as to say 'i know , I'm only helping , don't be a mother hen' .
Jasmine glances up at their mother ," I chose the dark blue and Mila chose the nude polish ." Jasmine was the one who replied to her mother's question , which she was sure that Mila did not hear , because the latter now had her eyes roaming around place ; searching .
"Who said you are getting them painted and polished ? You will be both getting acrylic nails ." Their mother said and before Jasmine could say something , Mila averted her focus back to them . Jasmine actually has no problem in applying the acrylic nails , but she wasn't so sure about Mila , actually - the new Mila .
Mila glances up at her mother and it was clear she heard nothing and her mother was more than delighted to take them over what she had planned for them .
They were soon seated down where the nail artists did their job , working on their hands while the hairstylists did their jobs on the heads .
It was not soon - oh who are they kidding , after hours and hours of sitting in those chair , they were finally done . The Mighty Mrs Woods passed her goodbyes to each and everyone in the room , and must Mila say that turned out to be an advantage for her today . While her mother passed to each and one person , the ladies will pull her into short conversations of her future , husband , kids and some things that never cross her mind but she dodged those questions and shot her own . "Mrs Klenn , you did not happen to notice anyone who approached the seat that me and my sister were seated on when we were not present , did you ?" Mila questions .
Although Jasmine hadn't confirmed to her that she wasn't seated at the couch when she left , it takes common sense to point that out because if Jasmine were there , she would know who placed the rose under the book .
"No , dear . What happened ? Did they stain the couch?" Mrs Klenn replied and Mila could only nod , going along before she said her goodbyes to the woman and she passed to another and the same respond was said ; they did not see who approached the couch .
It was only right to say that the women had gotten what they had always wanted , to bombar the two daughters of Mr Woods with questions to determine whether they are loss causes or just spoiled brats .
The same reply was what filled her ears over and over , all the women did not see anywhere , until they left the hall and Mila bumped into Wren . That couldn't have been accidental because the second she looked up , the woman whispered ," It was the dark witch . Beware of tonight , as the red moon appears ."
Before Mila could get the chance to turn and react , she felt the overwhelming perfume of her mother . Mila glanced back at the her mother . The woman scoffed , jerking her head slightly and her worth a million hair moving with the impact . "Low-lifes . Can't she see the way ? Or is it people's businesses blinding her eyes ?" Her mother said , staring in disgust to where Wren had disappeared off too .
Before their mother could even attack the poor woman , Mila walked past her and they all soon left and heading to the black car just outside the entrance .
