Chapter 89

She returned back to her room, standing at the same place she stood before vanishing. She checked the wall clock, it was forty nine minutes to five.
She couldn't sleep, all her attention were on what the being had just showed her, plus the fact that he was gonna show her what she was.
She remembered Miss Meyer's words on her first day at the rogue camp. She did say some thing about her scent.
She said her scent was different from that of a werewolf. Then, she thought Miss Meyers was only trying to exaggerate things.
She checked the time again, minutes were becoming like hours. She would stare at the clock every two minutes.
Her desperation grew, and inside her she was praying Riel won't have to wake up due to her heavy heart beat.
She decided to take a brief nap. A brief nap was going to turn into hours sleep if not the voice hadn't called.
'It's 5 o'clock, My Lady. You have to wake up ' he said.
'Already? '
' Yes."
She yawned, rubbing her eyes. ' I'm sorry, I couldn't wait for the time. Thank goodness you came, who knows when I'll be waking up from sleep. '
She steps out of the bed. ' You said you will help me discover what I am. So, what now?" She asked
'We need to go somewhere else where your husband won't have to notice us. '
' Somewhere like where?" She asked again.
' Maybe the hall, what do you say?" He suggested.
' Don't you think it's a little risky? I don't want my husband suspecting I've been wandering around the castle in the dark."
' So, what do you suggest then?"
She sighed. ' My room."
' In here? 'He asked
' No. I meant my other room. The one I always stayed before I got married. It's wide enough to accommodate us. '
' Okay. ' They went to her room, bolting the door after them. Desse was scared of what she is, she hoped she won't end up being a witch or anything close to witchcraft.
'Wait, before we do anything, I wanna know something. Am I a witch too?"
'Come on, Your Majesty, you don't have to be in a rush. '
' Somehow I think I have to. Because right now, the only thing I can think of is Sophie striking me out of earth with her magic spell."
' Don't worry, when you discover your own power, we will see which is greater. Are you ready to discover your gift? '
She shrugged. ' I think so. ' He rose an eyebrow at her. ' I mean, yes. '
' Okay. So this is how it will be, I will bring three ugly disobedient gentlemen. They are traitors to your husband, and your husband wants to pass down an execution on them.
Now, you have a plan. Deep inside you, you hated people who were disobedient to his majesty and you want to execute them yourself. You've got no weapons with you, it's just you and yourself, what will you do?"
Just then, three male plastic statue appeared." This are the traitors, punish them."
She walked close to the statues, she took a deep breath, exhaling heavily. 'What happens to people who breaks rules? They are broken."
She stretched one hand at a figure, then twisted it to the left. The figure bent to left. Then she stretched her other hand, to each direction her hand made, the figures twisted.
'That wasn't difficult as I thought."
'The power has awoken in you already, it's just for you to make use of it."
'So, does that mean I can disfigure humans? 'She chuckled. ' Sweet."
' That doesn't mean you should try it on anyone."
' Come on, I'm not that stupid. I was only going to try it on anyone who disobeys my husband 鈥� or me. '
' There's someone coming." The figure whispered.
' Who's in there? 'Asked the guard.
He pulled the door knob down, but it was difficult to open as it was locked from the inside. 'I wish this never happened." The figure said.
'I would have said the same thing if I hadn't discovered what I am."
He unlocked the door, kicking it with his leg. The door flew open and before he could make his way inside, with her mind, she slammed the door back on his face.
'Bad timing. ' Looks at him. 'Let's get out of here."
They left the guard still laid helpless on the ground with his nose bleeding. While they left to her room, the figure stopped.
'What's wrong?" She asked.
'Look behind me." He said, and she looked beside him. It looked different from the normal earth she knows, it was more like a different dimension, different from the one he had showed her.
'What's happening?" She asked, terrified.
'Fate just changed. The evil comes now."
'What?" She screamed.
'What." Sophie repeated.
'What do you want, witch?" She threw an angry look at her.
'Aren't you at least gonna say hi before throwing the rude attitude?"
'Not like I care. Why are you here?" She repeated.
' First thing first, congratulations on your marriage, I'm sorry I couldn't make it."
' Oh please, spare me the act. '
' Well, I made a deal with your husband, I'm here to take it back. '
' What deal? '
' This is business, sweetie, you're not supposed to know about it."
' You're crazy, you know that. '
' We'll see about that. ' She vanished to her room, and before Desse could make it up, she had gotten there. 'He promised a night with me and you know what, he did wanted to offer that night until then someone interrupted.
Now, I think I should have that night with him. I don't mind you watching."
She pulled off her cloth, climbing on him. Desse's eyes flew open, 'Get away from my husband, bitch."
'Husband? He was supposed to be my husband and not yours."
Desse rushed to pull her off him but then she heard her name. 'Jane?" She looked at Riel who was staring confused at her.
She looked down, a part of her was on his stomach. She crossed her legs, faking a wide smile, 'Hey. You're awake."
'Your nose, it's bleeding."
She touched her nose, feeling the liquid texture, and she wiped it off with the back of her hand.
She turned that her back rested on his chest. She was amazed at what just happened. One minute it was her with Sophie and the next, it's her on the bed with Riel.
She smiled. Were all those a dream? Or is it her imagining they all did happen?
'How long have you been up?" She asked.
'Not quite long, I guess. Where have you been?" He asked back.
'I uhmm鈥� I went to meet Desire." She lied. 'You were worried about me, weren't you?"
'Of course. This is the second time I have to wake up without seeing you beside me. '
' Honestly, I was having an issue with鈥hmm.. some girls stuffs so, I had to meet her to help me out."
' Girls stuff?" He repeated.
' Yeah, girls stuff."
' I don't understand. '
' Better."
' You sure you don't wanna tell me what this鈥� girl stuff is? '
' You really do wanna know what it is? 'She asked.
' Of course, I do."
' I'm on my period." She said in a whisper
'Oh. Oh, girl's stuff." She smiled at him.
' Hey, come on, don't be ashamed. You'll get use to it. '
***********
The merchant who always provides the pack with perishable and nonperishable goods is said to have gotten stucked along the road
With the aid of a map, Riel directed both his royal guard and the chief commander on where to meet the merchant.
Desse was so excited that she was aware of a part of her powers, though she knew there are more to know about her gift.
She was imagining how she had twisted those plastic statue that she didn't realize that what she was thinking was actually displaying in reality.
Two guards just rushed in, breathing like a chased rat. 'Your Majesty."
'What is it?"
'We think someone is practicing witchcraft in the fortress. '
He furrowed his brows. ' Witchcraft?" He repeated.
' Yes, sire."
' Why would you say that?" He sternly asked.
' There were three plastic status at the hallway, then all of a sudden they all twisted in half and vanished. It didn't happen once, it kept repeating itself like five times." The guard complained.
Desse's eyes widened in shock, but she acted normal that no one would notice her.
'Search the fortress, report any suspicious activity鈥�" He paused for a while, then continue. ' Find that witch."
Desse POV
'Find that witch."
I'm dead. So dead.
I don't have magic, but I have powers which looks almost like witchcraft.
I can control things with my hands, my mind and even by mere looking at them. Not just that, I have the power to twist, deform, amend and to destroy. Isn't it super great?!
Smiles.
I know I just did some discovery, and I ain't fit to face Sophie. I'm pretty sure she must have underwent some witch trainings which are unexplainable.
I can't believe I created an illusion too, confusing those poor guards to think there is actually a witch in the castle.
Of course not, I am the witch here. Now, that's the problem, they are gonna find out how the illusion came to be.
I can't even explain myself if they find out that it was I. And Riel, who knows what he might do to me?
I am so dead.
As if that wasn't enough, the guard from last night, the very one I smacked the door on his nose just came to report the incident of last night.
I had to tell Riel that I was really tired and I need to get some rest. Whatever they were gonna say about the room, it's none of my business.
While the guard was still reporting the incident bit by bit, I went to the room, using my mind, I sealed the door, making it impossible for any of them to open it.
Whatever that happens next, is still none of my business.
I noticed something rolling out of my nose, I ain't bleeding again, am I?
This is bad. This is really really bad.
They are gonna find me if this keeps happening. I can't use my powers without bleeding.
I think the only way to escape this is to let Riel know about it. No, he doesn't have to know now. At least not yet.
I can cover my ass as long as I can.
