They think itch’s all a myth.” The children laughed and rubbed their bellies. “Enough of thatch. It’s thicme for a tale.” The children adjusted themselves on the ground with happiness. “It’s thrue.

Alexandra!” Till now, the five year old always thought that Miss Rica was playing knight and thief with her. “Alexandra, come here this instant!” That was enough for today, Alexa thought. She gave the old woman a break. “I’m just forty. Why do you want me dead so early, huh?”She giggled again. Miss Rica rubbed her own forehead and sighed. “Sorry, Miss Rica.”Miss Rica couldn’t be mad at that face. She was the cutest and most beautiful damsel in the palace. Her sisters envied her greatly.They neither played with her nor gave her any prior attention. The palace was always full but still, Alexa was always alone. Miss Rica had seen her cry plenty of times.

She ran towards the sink and washed her tears away.“No, Alexa. Queens don’t shed. Queens don’t shed tears,” she repeated with shaky hands.The chamber was cloaked in darkness. She could see not a thing. Alexa splashed more water on her face, using it to cover up the tears dropping from her eyes.She breathed heavily. Her mind was filled with negativity. She couldn’t clear her mind out to think of a solution. It was impossible.She looked around her enormous chamber and caught a glimmer. She ran towards the ray of hope and met with… a mirror.Why was there a mirror there? She broke all the mirrors. Alexa never wanted to see a mirror but there was one here. She screamed. Alexa removed her heels and threw it towards the mirror. The heels bounced back. She was shocked. 'What sorcery is this?' She wondered, unable to lift a word from her l

I was tired of sitting on a wheelchair.Moreover, my legs were okay. The doctor said so too. Well, mom didn’t believe that. She was a late sleeper so I had an hour to myself. If she did catch me, I’d tell her the doctor told me to exercise it. I was happy. I hadn’t moved my legs in a while. I knew that I was such an adventurer. You can’t imagine how the past three months have been for me. Being on a phone is just not the same with actually being in town.There was one place I had to visit. I had not been there in a while.I left a letter on the table for mom, with some cookies too. Just incase she woke up before I reached home.I removed my phone and checked for any missed calls or texts. Nothing. Perfect, just perfect. I took another step with my once-broken leg and clapped in joy. I felt like a baby who was just learni

I never dreamed of being a maid but… I was doing this for my mum. She meant the world to me.I wore something simple. A fitting blue gown. It wasn’t expensive looking. I wanted them to know I needed the job. I didn’t put make up on but I ponytailed my long black hair.It was strange. My hair grows so fast and full. No matter how much I cut it, it grows to its normal size in no time.I took a light blue purse along and rushed to mum’s room.“I found a job online.”Kimberly removed her glasses and faced me. “Already?” She sounded surprised. “What about?”I couldn’t tell her I’d be a maid. She’d freak out. “I-it’s a waitress job.” “Which restaurant?”“It’s a Spanish restaurant.”“Where is the restaurant?”I couldn’t keep up with questions. “I will keep my answers for the interview. Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”“Stay safe. We’ll celebrate if you win.”“You mean when I win.”Kimberly smiled. “Keep the positive attitude, dear.”I went out of the house and closed my eyes, breathing in.

No one knows his first source of this crazy money.”Wendy picked it up from there. “If he wants something, he gets it no matter what it is. He goes nowhere but work and home. People in the mansion say they’ve seen him with horns…”“And others said he has a long spiky tail…”A long spiky tail? The picture of a golden devilish statue was flashing in my head. I shook that scary thought off. What the heck was that? “… He’s killed countless number of people and always gets away with it. No one is allowed to work in the mansion for more than five years. It’s because he doesn’t age. He decided to stay in Olia because he’s been banned from every other place. People don’t even know he lives here.”Ana cleared her throat. “He has no certificates, no identity cards, no passports and no world records. He’s like a ghost.

I was thankful I chose what I chose because when I saw my food, my lost appetite returned.Drinks were served with our food and we started to dig into it."It's been a while , Lexa," she said, eating to her heart's desire.I smirked. "Just a few months... But you changed so much."She smiled. "That's what money can do."She fluttered her eyelashes and moved her food slightly away then gave me a sneaky smile. To say the truth, I was confused at the sudden change in her position. Her movements didn't give me an idea of what she wanted to do until she talked."How are you and Elliot?" Wendy's smile grew wider and my smile grew lower. Even though she talked more now, she was still observant as she always had been. She noticed my dull face. "What's wrong? Did-did something happen?"

Rica's POVI spinned the revolving chair I was sitting on. It twirled me 360 degree round a single spot with a big unending smile on my face as it continued to twirl me. Then I immediately stopped it.I looked towards a mirror and I could see my face...ageing. My end was near. Any normal witch would worry about it and begin to search for longer days but not me. I didn't care. I didn't care if I died today because my mission was complete.Almost complete. I had a last thing to do before I could tag my mission as 'completed'.

I was in a destroyed uncompleted building that was located in the outskirts of Olia.Everywhere was dark but my crystal ball gave out bright blue light that brightened everywhere. The doors of the building were old and rotten, and they dangled from their hinges like they were only attached to it by a bare string.The floors of the building were covered with rusted nails and bolts, dead leaves, infested planks of wood
