Mila did not even open her mouth to question Augustus and her mother , who both seem to know everything that has transpired in these few days . Instead she stayed silent , waiting for her mother to explain , without her parting her mouth to fire any questions .
"You can hate me all you want after this but I was only doing this in terms of wanting to keep you and your sister safe ." Her mother spoke . She paused to examine her face before she continued ," There's a someone targeting everyone in this family . Whoever is Maxwell's blood and has lived within this walls for so long , they are a threat to this person and are getting in his way. That boy that died last night -"
"I know who he is ." Mila spoke , looking at Augustus and then back at her mother ," What do you mean father was murdered and who is the person targeting us ?" Mila questions .
Charlotte paused for a while before she looked at the far distance , other than Mila's questioning eyes and she spoke ," We are not yet sure who this person is ,"her mother glanced at Augustus , causing Mila to glance at the man too .
Her mother's mouth parted to speak but Mila cut her off ," I want to know why you say he was murdered . Father died . He had cancer and he was going to die ." Mila's voice cracked as she spoke . The bile in her throat making it hard for her to utter words out.
Her tears-filled eyes turn to Augustus . She expected an explanation from her father's soldier , but the man did not turn to meet her gaze and focused on what he was staring at ; his face straight and unreadable .
Tears slowly streamed down her cheeks and she roughly lifted her arm and wiped them away . Her mother approached her , halting three steps away ," Yes . He did have cancer . But it wasn't yet his time ." Her mother shook her head lightly ," His time hadn't yet arrived ."
Tears continued spilling and Mila was determined to wipe them away . She heard the loud heels of her mother clicking on the tiled floor as she walked away .
"Augustus cleaned away the blood before any of you could witness it ." He mother spoke behind the alcohol counter . She poured herself some vodka while she continued to talk ," It is no longer safe Mila and I cannot assure you-"
"How do you know he was murdered ? You weren't even there !" Mila spoke . Fury filling her sight as she approaches the counter .
Her mother caught her gaze , emotions passing by that she barely even noticed . "Are you suspecting me Mila ? Are you saying that I murdered my own husband ?! " Her mother spoke .
Mila glared at her mother ," I do not know . You are capable of many things ."
Her mother gasp while Augustus called out for Mila . The latter did not pay much attention to the guard as she fired daggers through her eyes aiming at her mother ," You lied about a lot of things . Not only to him but to me too !" Mila breathed aloud through her nose . Tears prickled her mother's eyes , but through her fury , Mila did not notice . She lifted her hand up and pointed an accusing finger at her mother ," You broke his heart . You lied to him about me being his daughter . How could you live with yourself in all these years . How could you sleep knowing very well you were toying with other people's emotions!"
In the phase of her confrontation , Mila did not notice the sudden change of air around her until she was suddenly pulled by Augustus . She glared at her mother while Augustus led her to the next room .
It was then he closed the door that she crumbled to the floor . Mila sat down on the carpet with her head lowered to her lap as she sat in silent but her mind filled with her high pitched screams .
"Ms Woods ."
She heard Augustus voice , but it was distant and she could not lift her hand up and attend to him . All she could ever do was to lift her hand up and place it over her chest where she felt her heart pumping furiously through her ribcage . She feared it will jump out .
"That was her ?" Morgana questions Augustus while her eyes focused on the silence yet raging woman on the ground . Morgana crossed her arms over her chest , her emerald green eyes glancing at the walking time bomb on the floor .
Augustus finally nodded his head . Morgana remained expressionless as she looks at the closed door ," I trapped them in the illusion ." She turned her head to Mila ," And I rendered her uncousious ."
Augustus remained silent , looking at Mila , who he is sure was hearing the whole of their conversation . Creatures like them tend to travel to the fourth dimension through their heads when they are hurt or broken ; escaping the pain they are feeling rather than to face it .
"I think she is more of a flower faery than what he has presumed her to be . She is just a waste of his energy and ours ." Morgana spoke , her tone filled with nothing but disgust , annoyance and hatred to the lady sitting on the floor who had caused her to recieve the worse punishments days ago .
Augustus finally glances at the dark faery , pleasing Morgana who was awaiting for some clues or leads that could lead her to the final truth of why this powerless and stupid lady is targeted by many of the lords and kings .
