Emily's Pov

Emily's Pov:

" Please be normal, Aiza!" I warned her one last time before we both entered her home. Upon entering I smelled the familiar scent of jasmine which I always loved smelling whenever I came over to Cromwell's home. They always treated me like Aiza and I always felt welcomed.

My eyes scanned their living room to spot anyone but no one is in the sight. My heart started beating faster at the thought of seeing Elijah for the first time after coming back from the palace. I have a never-ending one-sided crush on him but he never even looked at me as a woman but rather like a sister.

" I think your magic failed Aiza! No one is there in the home!" I exclaimed somewhat annoyed at the thought of not seeing Elijah.

" Hello There, Emily!" Mrs.Cromwell greeted me coming inside from their patio and others followed her including Mr.Cromwell, Elijah, and Eliot. Aiza looked at me with a smug face to which I showed my tongue to her.

" Hello, Mrs.Cromwell! How are you today?" I hugged her, her hug feels so warm and comfortable. More better than my mother's.

" Hello, Guys!" I greeted three of the Cromwell men, not looking at Elijah. I heard only two hellos and I can tell who those two people were and Elijah didn't greet me back.

I lift my head to look at him to see he is looking at me with slightly wide eyes and his eyes have that shock and Awe that I have never seen for me.

My face got heated up and I know that I spotted a blush, I turned my head to hide my face and cleared my throat to pull him from whatever trance he is in.

" Oh my God, Aiza! What the hell happened to your hair?" Eliot cursed out looking at Aiza's silver hair. I was still in shock after witnessing her transformation and I hope that she lies without getting caught.

" Umm, I…I dyed my hair. I wanted to try something new." Mr.&Mrs. Cromwell's eyes were on Aiza's hair and Elijah's too. I gave them an awkward smile opening my mouth to support her.

" Yeah, I suggested to her that she should try something new as she will look good. Isn't she looking good with silver hair?" I looked at the four of them and three of them have an appreciation look but Elijah is still looking at me. What is his problem? Do I have something on my face?

I raised my eyebrows in question asking what is his problem to which he just shook his head and turned it to the side. I think he is on drugs or something.

" Yes, the Silver color looks good on her." Mrs.Cromwell came towards Aiza and touched her hair lovingly feeling it.

" Yes, Mrs.Cromwell!" I smiled at her, she gestured for me to sit on the couch and I dragged Aiza with me to sit beside me. If we are going to lie then she has to be beside me.

" Will you guys give me your five minutes?" I asked them to which they settled down on the couches. Ugh, I am so nervous. How can I lie in front of Elijah who can easily detect a lie from afar? I muster up all my courage and prepared myself. I have to do this for my best friend.

" I want to take Aiza with me to the palace…." I got cut off in the middle by Elijah's growl.

" She is not going anywhere!" He growled out narrowing his eyes at me and Aiza. I know he is going to be a pain in the ass and he is being one now and a big one.

" Can you let her finish? Or even ask me if I am okay with it or not?" Aiza groaned out annoyed with him for cutting me and being a possessive brother.

" I don't have to listen all the way to say still no. You are not going anywhere and that's final." His words are for Aiza but he is looking at me directly, like what is his freaking problem with me? Does he think I am going to sell his sister on a black market?

" You don't have the right to decide my life, Elijah! It's up to Mum and dad to decide and there is a vacancy in the palace of the gardener and I wanted to go there and do what I love." Aiza has tears in her eyes and I can see anger in them too. I am afraid that she is going to change Infront of all of them.

I placed my hand on her shoulder to calm her down and she relaxed.

" If you are worrying for her safety then you can leave it to me. I will be her shadow all the time." I said to them that I will stand by my promise.

" I know how much our Aiza loves to grow plants and take care of them and if she wants to go with you then I am okay with it but you both have to promise me that you will take care of each other all the time." Mr.Cromwell added, that we both ran toward him to hug him and he accepted our hug wholeheartedly.

" I am okay with it too and I want my hug too." Mrs.Cromwell playful pouted at us and we hugged her too.

" Where is my hug then? I want a hug only from Emily." Eliot winked at me gesturing with his hands to hug me. Mrs.Cromwell swatted his head and we all laughed at his scowling face. Eliot loves to tease me all the time.

I sense eyes on me and from the heat and anger I am feeling from the stare I can tell that it is Elijah who is so angry with me for taking away his little sister from him. He is always the possessive and overprotective brother between him and Eliot.

He stood up from the couch and stomped his way towards his room. He is so pissed at us right now. I should make sure to not come in front of him till I go back to the palace.

" Okay, then we have a lot of things to do and first thing is to go shopping." I stood up from the couch and pulled Aiza with me.

" Okay, but be careful girls!" Mr.&Mrs.Cromwell called out to us but by the time their last word reached our ears, we are already standing outside their home.

" Do you want to teleport or walk to the shop? I asked Aiza.

" I want to walk because I want to capture the beauty of our coven. Who knows if I will come back or not." Aiza said, her voice becoming so small which made me worry for her.

" Why won't you come back, Aiza!" We heard a deep voice from behind us and from the way my body reacted to the voice I know who he is and we are in a deep shit.
