" What...? " Hazel asked as she tried to figure out what the woman in front of her mean. She thought she had heard wrong and wanted a confirmation but Wren just shrugged and laughed it off.
" It's nothing, I just thought it ridiculous thing to say to a child. Perhaps, Do you know the people inside? " Wren casually asked.
Hazel knew them well , In fact one of them was her son while the other was her best friend, close enough to call sister, But as dull as Hazel is , she just thought maybe they were playing or Gizzel was just trying to scare Simba off ,
She was in denial.
Wren moved closer and wrapped her hands around Hazel to comfort her, " I know we just met to say this however, human heart is like a tomb, it held secrets and desires we can never fathom ".
Hazel frown in displeasure" We have been friends like forever, to me she is my sister and my sister isn't that that of person, I will trust her over anymore else" . She then l insisted stubbornly.
It maybe true that she felt some sparkle and maybe she did feel like wanting to get to know her but that was just it, that momentum wasn't greater than her years of friendship with Gizzel. she was more of friends oves hoes kinda person.
Wren of all people understands what's Hazel thought of her at the moment and she felt a sharp pain in her heart, She already expected this but still she is mad. However, she was here today to show her presence and not make a move. She wanted Hazel to notice her and make an impression, not whatever this is ,
' You are not allowed to ignore my existence ' Wren swore in her heart as she stole a glance at her.
Knowing that she has to take a step back, so as she could gain an upper hand in the days to come Wren smirked and put to use her charms that are so irresistible. She chuckled and slowly brushed her hair with her hand , " I think there is a misunderstanding here " She began.
" What makes you think am talking about your so called sister? "
" You just go around and rumble about your strong bond, girl chill, take it easy, we just met " She continued.
Hazel was puzzled, she didn't know what gotten into her and feel the need to explain all of those nonsense to her person she just met, at that moment she was apparently embarrassed, " I-I just thought, because you are nice to me you wanted to get closer to me ". Hazel spoke truthfully.
Wren wore a shocked expression and spoke coldly " Me ? Wanting you? How laughable. You have such imaginative mind little girl, If I were to drop a pencil and bend down to pick it up up you will say I want to blow you , right? ".
She chuckled and looked at Hazel in amazement. " I gotta go ! "
Wren then turned back and took a few steps when she heard Hazel's voice again.
" Am sorry, I don't know what gotten into me today, am so sorry ". She said politely with her head facing the ground, but if she could just raise her head a little bit and saw the satisfaction smirk on Wren's face she would have taken back her apology.
Wren didn't say anything and just turned her back and left, After all , It was not the time yet to start her hunting where is the fun if she just gonna drop all her cards at the very start?.
Hazel watches at she dissappear from her vision, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't feel like saying anything else at that moment, she felt like she had embarrassed herself enough for the day already , she grabbed her shirt tightly and started to regret everything she had just said,
Wren was right , The two of them just met and the statement she just made were casual, she didn't have to go that far and start all the drama. Maybe that girl saw her as some vulgar who doesn't even have a basic understanding of socializing.
Looking back , In her life she only had Gizzel as a friend as she lived her life as an outcast, maybe she was weird and Gizzel was just too good that's why she talks to someone like her,
As she fell into depression, Hazel's self-esteem got lower and lower, she even started to wonder maybe she truly deserves such beast as a husband. Maybe that's the reason why even children don't like her. Unknowingly she started crying, she was such a weak hearted woman after all.
In a distant conner Wren was watching her and frowned. This stupid woman has a very weak heart, In a world as rotten such as this , It's no wonder they took advantage of her. " You shouldn't have said those harsh words " Her assistant suddenly spoke.
" She needs to know being nice will get her nowhere " Wren sighed.
" But aren't you interested in her ? ".
Hearing her assistant's statement, Wren chuckled and turned her back to leave. " You know how I love my women, she is far away from being ready, she needs resurrection ".
Her assistant didn't say a word, she just chuckled and followed her behind. Maybe this time things will be different, maybe this woman will be able to change her master, After all , this is the first time Wren ever pursue someone, It usually the other way around actually.
As they went back to the front yard, Wren Morningstar observed everyone her forest green eyes, she was so good at reading people's mind and she will only need a glance to figure anyone's out, That's why she got people to believe and rely on her, because she can see their desires and touch them.
" I have heard that this is the first time in fifteen years something like this happen in this town , I went to the mortuary to pray for the dead and I saw how brutal he was murdered, Mr Pepe, was a man of a few words , who was good to his wife and a great father for his children. His death, which is pure work of the devil brought terror for the people of this town... since the devil is still is lurking among us ".
Wren pause and drunk some water, as she does that she didn't forget to watch everyone's expression, seeing that everybody was glaring her like the only light they had left , Wren was very satisfied.
" I'm here, not as a child of god , or a prophet , Am here as one of you, I was raised in this island and I consider this my home will never let whoever did this go unpublished. I was supposed to leave today but I will stay until I see this through!".
The citizens teared, and even Gizzel who had just came was looking at her in admiration, In her heart she even wished Wren was a man , That way she could have run to her embrace and never to let go, whoever, It was really a shame, If only...
Unknowingly, Gizzel was staring at Wren in so much longing , she was so captivated that she didn't even notice Hazel who appeared beside her.
Hazel looked at her friend's gaze on Wren and suddenly she felt like someone that belongs to her was about to be stolen, the feeling was foreign and very uncomfortable, she hated that gaze so much and she found herself suddenly pushing Gizzel,
" Ahha!"
There was a loud scream and Hazel trembled knowing what she had just done.This...this isn't like her at all.
