Chapter 31 WHO REJECTED WHO FIRST?
In the Witches’ realm, Sarafina broke down in tears over the loss of her brother, Pachinko
“It’s okay, Sarafina”Ms. Agatha said patting her lightly on the back.
Laura who was pacing to and fro in her room, couldn’t think properly over Sarafina’s cry.
She needed to come up with a plan on how to use Daisy and Raquel to her advantage.
But damn that Sarafina!
“That’s it!” She grunted as she barged out of her room and headed downstairs.
“Listen up, Sarafina. You are not the only one in this realm so if you want to cry yourself a river , do it somewhere else, okay?”
“Laura!”Ms Agatha scolded
“What!?”
“She just lost her brother. You could have been more gentle”
“And Flora just lost her sleep thanks to her. She wasn’t gentle”Laura said pointing at an obessed sized girl who was lying upright on the couch sleepy.
“Hey”Sarafina said standing up from her seat angrily”I get that you are used to people bowing down at your every word and all that but not me”
“Sarafina, calm dow-“Ms Agatha started but was cut off
“Don’t tell me to be calm!” Sarafina shouted pointing at everyone “You all allowed Laura to say her part so I’m going to say mine!”
She turned to face Laura”If you have a problem with me crying over my dead brother then feel free to leave instead of suggesting that I go away. Your absence would really do some good around here”
“I SAID BOTH OF YOU SHOULD STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!”Ms. Agatha shouted silencing Sarafina.
“You two ladies seem to forget that I don’t take rubbish from anyone. Get out now! You will be called in later in the evening fkr your punishments”Ms. Agatha shouted as Laura turned to leave but she was being called back.
“What?”Laura said angrily.
She showed the flyer to Laura”You did this, didn’t you?”
Laura looked at the flyer as she laughed out loud.
Just when she thought her crappy day couldn’t get any better, it just did!
“Hey, Ms Agatha, do you mind if I use this as my new room wallpaper?”Laura asked reaching out for the flyer but Ms Agatha wasn’t smiling.
“Answer me right now, Laura”
Laura rolled her eyes”As much as I regret that this wasn’t my idea, I wouldn’t take the credit for someone else’s work. I didn’t do it”
“Liar. Smell this”Ms. Agatha said nearing the flyer close to Laura’s noise.
Laura’s eyes widened as she took a wiff off the strong scent from the flyer.
“T-This is-”
“You see? You can’t lie anymore”
Laura shook her head in confusion. How was this possible?
The smell that came out from the flyer was a scent that she would never forget.
Because it was how her father scented like.
But that wasn’t possible. Her father was dead.
She balled her fist. Was someone trying to call her out by using her father’s scent?
“Now go to the council room. The higher witches would be here to decide on your punishment later”Ms. Agatha said sternly as she turned around and walked away.
Back in Venar as Anglassia’s parent prepared the dining for breakfast, Mikasa pulled Eren to the side.
“I have to rush back”
“Why?”
“Jerrire just called me . Something happened to Alexa and Warren is distraught”
Eren’s eyes widened. Something happened to Alexa? “Let me come with”
“No. You have to stay here with Anglassia. I promise to keep you informed about the situation”
“Please do”
Mikasa nodded his head as he walked over to glaze’s parents “I’m sorry mother, father but I fear I won’t be joining you for breakfast. An urgent matter just arrived at home”
Ciara, Anglassia’s mother held Mikasa’s hands”I hope it’s nothing severe”
Mikasa nodded his head”Yes mother, everything will be alright”
Dennis, Anglassia’s father patted Mikasa on his shoulders”Take care of yourself, son”
“Thank you father, mother”Mikasa greeted before running out of the house.
As Mikasa left, Anglassia walked in all freshened up.
Ciara called Eren to the table to eat but Eren seemed to be distracted.
Ciara gently tapped him”Eren?”
Eren shook his head”Yes?”
Ciara dragged him towards the dining”Come, let’s eat”
Eren held Ciara’s hands”Forgive me mother, but I have to go too”
“But Eren-“Before Ciara could complete her sentence, Eren had taken off.
Ciara turned to face Dennis” I hope nothing serious happened”
“Don’t worry, mother. I’ll go after him” Anglassia said running after Eren.
After few minutes of running, she lost track of him. “Sh*t!” She cursed.
She was about to take in deep breaths to sniff around for his scent when she heard a soft cry in the woods.
She followed the sound of the weeping and found Eren on the ground.
She stopped in her tracks. Eren was crying?
She slowly walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him.
“It’s okay, cry it all out”
Eren wrapped his arms around her as he cried to his heart’s content.
When she refrained from him, she wiped his cheeks”What happened?”
“It’s nothing”Eren said standing up from the ground but Anglassia held his hand.
“You don’t cry for nothing, Eren”
Eren smirked”Are you keeping tabs on me?”
“Don’t joke about this. What is going on? First Mikasa leaving and now you crying?” Anglassia shook her head”It doesn’t make sense”
Eren looked down at Anglassia’s hands on his as he slowly looked back up at her”Do you really want to know?”
The way Eren looked at her made her heart skip and made her words stutter”I-I mean, um.. f-father and mother asked me to find out, s-o-”
Eren nodded his head”It’s Alexa. She got hurt”
Feeling like a fool, Anglassia felt her heart sink and her hand from from his in a nutshell.
She couldn’t understand it though, what about Alexa charmed everyone.
Just why did everyone just seem to like her. She was just like everyone else, wasn’t she?.
“D-Did you.. did you like Alexa all these while?”Anglassia asked.
Eren remained quiet as Anglassia scoffed.
“Were you having fun teasing me a these while?!”Anglassia asked angrily.
“Teasing you?”Eren asked with his voice raw “Tell me, who rejected who first?”
