Chapter 34 - Deadly flowerd

"She is who he says she is ." Augustus said before he looked back at Mila who was listening attentively at their conversation .

When Morgana felt disappointment at the lack of detailed reasoning from Augustus , the man finally parted his mouth again ," She just needs someone to guide her and teach her more about her self . But since she is the last of her kind , she needs to be taught how to activate those powers and abilities she has ."

"So you are saying she just needs to burst." Morgana spoke , eyeing Mila who was now looking at them .

"No ." Augustus spoke before he approached Mila and crouched besides her .

While Augustus crouched beside the lady and spoke with her , Morgana glared at the man's back before she rolled her emerald green eyes .

Her eyes trailed up to the blondie before she disappeared away from there and back to where the blondie and her mother once stood . Her black heels clicked on the floor while she approaches the counter and she rounds it , appearing to the side where Charlotte once stood and was pouring herself a glass of vodka .

Her emerald green eyes narrowed on the family of flowers on the floor that have found a way to plant themselves . The flowers looked so pure and beautiful , but she knew they are the most deadly and dangerous. Her head shook as a tremble went through her as she looked at the flowers . She clicks her tongue as she curses the gods above at wasting such immense and worthy power to a worthless and ungrateful thing .

One would be captivated by their beauty . Some may be be allured by their scent that is so fresh and purifying but they would never know of the death they would face next . If it weren't for that she was now standing further away from them , she would be on her knees and clutching her chest while she fights for her dear life . The scent is just deadly .

Morgana looks at the flowers for the last time before she turned and disappeared from there , deciding she will come back to clean up the flowers in a more safe way , but not before hearing the words of Augustus behind the close doors ," I will take you there ."

Mila looked at Augustus , she hid the suspicion behind her gaze while she nodded at him before she stood up .

"I'll prepare the car , meet me downstairs." He said , she nodded before she left the room .

Mila run down the hallway , her eyes passing through each room , searching for her mother and sister before she ascended the stairs and she headed to Jasmine's room .

"Jas!" The door swung open as she enters the room .

"What's wrong ?" Jasmine stood up from the bed , her eyes turning to her mother who looked back at Mila with questioning eyes .

Mila stood in the room while her mother stood up and went to peek over the door before she turned to her where Jasmine was observing her face .

"Mom said you fainted again . Are you alright ?" Jasmine asked while Mila looked at her mother .

"I'm fine ." Mila responded , looking at her mother before Jasmine took one step back . Mila looked at her mother and spoke ," Augustus says he will take me to Mr Andromeda ." Her mother's eyes widened before her mouth parted but Mila cut her off once again ," But I will not go to him first . I will go to the Catholic church just nearby where father told me to go ."

"What Catholic church ?" Her mother questioned just right after her words .

Mila turned her heated gaze to her mother ," It's about the shadows , the ones that you kept a secret from him . Jasmine will detail you with what we discovered . We do not hide things from one another so we will not keep you in the dark ." Mila turned to Jasmine after talking , her younger sister nodding her head to her arrangements . " I will be going with Augustus , but I do not trust him , nor do I trust Mr Andromeda . So while he thinks I am in the church , I will ask the priest to sneak me out to the other side and you guys are to meet me there . You pack everything that we will need and we leave ."

"Why?" Jasmine was the one to question while their mother turned jittery with her eyes jumping from the door and to Mila once in a while .

Tears welled up in Mila's eyes but she quickly blinked them away before she answered to her sister ," Alot is going on and we can no longer stay in this house ," Mila looked at her mother ," Since this house was left to Maximus Woods , who is now gone , we do not know who will come here and kick us out or murder us too . We do not know his mother and since he came here - he was here to claim everything to his name and what will stop whatever person who gave him the directions to us from coming here and kicking us out ?" Mila sighed ," There are a lot of reasons why we should leave this house but mom , I want you to call Alexander and ask him for Wendy's contact details ."

When she was rest assured that they will not be asking any more questions , she continued ," We have to leave and besides , we have no reason to stay here anymore . Father has left us nothing. Not even to you," Mila looked at her mother ," This house isn't ours and sooner or later , the person who murdered father will come for us . We have to leave ."

Jasmine's eyes widened ," M-M-Mur," She gasped while retreating . "Jas ." Charlotte approached her younger daughter and tried to comfort her .

Mila tried to stay focus and not break down too . She looked back at the door and then back to her mother who looked back at her ," Can you just pack everything that we will need and maybe we can sell some of those things to earn cash ." Mila paused as she tries to gather her thoughts ,"I will meet you at the back of the church ." She finally says .

Without waiting for her mother's responds , Mila turned to leave .

"Mila !" She halted and looked back at her mother who spoke ," Why don't you just marry him ? Mr Andromeda . He will-" Mila shook her head , multiple times . She pinned her pained eyes on her mother and uttered out her words ," No . Do not expect me to sell myself to a monster ." With that said , Mila left the room .
