LOGINYuvonne:"Yuvonne, get ready. Baxter is coming with his mother." I heard my mother's voice echo in the room as she opened the door with a thud.I jolted awake under my blanket. Every time somebody made loud noises around me, I got scared.I hated that I was feeling this way. I missed my old self, but the news itself made me happy."Really? He is coming over?" I asked my mother, smiling at her.It was the same broken smile that my mother said gave her the chills, but I could not help it."Yes. He is coming over. His mother just texted me." She repeated herself quickly, reaching the closet to grab me a new dress.I had been in one dress, and I had been able to change. I changed out of those clothes.I could never wear them again, but after that I did not feel like getting ready. If I am honest, I hated my body."What are you doing? Do not pick anything too flashy. I do not want to attract attention," I said gently, sitting up and making sure the blanket was covering me."You need to stop
Baxter:It was as if Madeline knew I wanted to go. I had promised Yuvonne once that I would take good care of her.That was when Madeline was not back. That was right after Yuvonne had taken care of me.I could not look away from her when she needed help, especially because she had helped me a lot.Back when I was alone, Yuvonne would sneak out. There was so much that happened, and she stood with me through all of it.With that being said, when I heard what happened to her, I felt my whole world crumble.It was as if another woman had suffered because she relied on me, and I turned out to be someone who was not very competent.I could tell that Madeline knew I wanted to go.So for her to come out and make the decision for me, she also let my mother know that I was not the one making the choice and betraying Madeline.Instead, it seemed as if she made the decision, and that was why I was going."Well then, there is a car parked outside. If you want to go, I can take you there right now
Madeline:"What did you just say?" I heard Baxter ask his mother.Honestly, ever since I heard it, I have had the same reaction. It was a reaction of confusion, guilt, and concern together.I understood that I did not get along well with Yuvonne, but every time I heard that she had been attacked, it made me feel bad for her.I felt like she was the naive girl who had no idea what she was doing with her life, and it was all her mother's fault.She made her do things that Yuvonne did not realize were getting her in trouble.I could not put it past her mother that she might have been the one to send her to the rogue land the other day.But how could that have happened? How could the warriors not have been able to save and protect her?"Three men ambushed them," his mother continued, making my body twitch with so much concern and fear for her."And how is she now?" I heard Baxter ask his mother with a lot of concern in his voice."Well, of course she is not doing well. She was in a coma f
Yuvonne:When a woman is born and she starts to grow, she begins to develop many fears, and there are dreams that come with them.She has dreams and hopes. Some of them get suppressed by fear. Some fade away.All my life, ever since I had seen Baxter, I had fallen in love with him. I wanted him.I wanted him so much that I left the comfort of my home and foolishly went into the rogue community because his mother asked me to and begged him to accept me.He did not even accompany me back. He sent me with some warriors."It has been more than a week. You need to eat. The doctor said your health is declining." My mother entered the room and turned on the light.The minute she did, I clenched my fists and hugged myself tighter.I was sitting on the bed with my knees pulled to my chest, covered in a blanket.I hated anyone seeing me, and ever since that incident, people had been coming to see me.I did not want to be looked at. I did not want to interact with anyone. I wanted to disappear.
Baxter:It was as if the moment I had some peace, my mother arrived to ruin it.It was early morning, too early for her to start reminding me that I had made a bad decision.The disrespect she had for Madeline had always bothered me, but now it felt like a personal hit.She was a part of me, my better half. How could my mother not understand that?she would be upset if someone insulted her and my father did not stand up for her.But my mother did not feel the same toward my wife, and she expected me to think about my ex-fiancée."Mother, she came here to stay with me, and I sent her back. That is what happened," I told her, letting her know that was it.“And stopping her my fiancée.” I reminded her, my fist clenching.I noticed that the door was open, and I felt bad for Madeline to hear all this."You know who is taking care of your mother and your pack while you are gone?" my mother asked, her tone harsh as always.I secretly scratched my earlobe, trying to hide the bored expression
Madeline:While I put the plates on the table, Baxter opened the door. He was still sleepy.He quickly ran his hand through his hair, but when he opened the door, he became attentive, almost ready to face whatever danger was outside.When the door swung open, I watched him step back and grunt. I had to move toward the couch to see what made him look so uncomfortable.Right away, I understood why. Standing in front of him was none other than the High Grace, his mother, wearing a black gown and a crown with diamonds shining in it.The metallic part of the crown also caught the light. She had her men behind her. Of course, she would not come to the rogue community without protection."Mother," Baxter greeted her with a small bow.She did not step in immediately. She stood in the doorway, watching her son and examining him from head to toe as if she could not believe he was in this state.Her eyes then moved behind him toward me, and I watched her take a deep breath and clench her jaw."C
