Whichever case it was among the three, she knew she wasn't going to just stay put until they came back for her. But what could she do to free herself with her body tied and a silver barricade hindering her? She twisted her body as if it would miraculously free her, but nothing happened. She tried to open the gate with her hands, but the silver burnt her palms, and she had to let go. Slowly, she crawled back to the inner circle of the room and patiently waited for the person who would make the mistake of coming to check on her. She could then mind-control the person into opening the gate and freeing her without them realizing it.She bent her head in resignation when she realized that she wouldn't be able to mind control anyone since she had not been fed from a human since she woke up. She had tried with those who had bundled her, but she hadn't been able to control them. Suddenly, she felt afraid - afraid that she could die in detention just because she had trusted the wrong pers

Amanda pretended as if she were thinking about it. When she still hadn't given any answer, even after what felt like an eternity to Hannah, she responded on behalf of her mother."Yes, ma'am. I'm sure she would be delighted to do that," Hannah told their guest in her angelic voice.The two older women laughed over Hannah's enthusiasm toward the betrothal, but she didn't mind. After all these years of waiting, she was finally getting the one chance she had pleaded with the goddess to grant her, and she wasn't ready to let it go, no matter what."Since that is settled, I would like Hannah to return with me today itself. That is if it is okay with you, Amanda," Aimea said."Sure, dearest friend," Amanda replied to Aimea."In that case, I'll go get my wardrobe ready for the journey," Hannah announced to them. She got up from her sitting position, and swiped her hands on her clothes to smooth the wrinkles that sitting down had caused to the dress, then left the room to get her things ready

For today, Marcelyn had decided that she was learning how to shop and how to tell the hairdresser that she needed to change her hair. She also needed to express correctly to the makeup artist what types of makeup she wanted the person to do for her. She went to the mirror and stood in front of it. She practiced the new words until they stuck while she held her note. When she was sure she could write them perfectly without her note, she dropped the book and tried. When she got the words correctly, she smiled to herself.She took her bath and prepared herself for her outing. She also got a scarf and covered her hair and face so that she could keep people away from her, just in case they still remembered her face from the hospital video. When she stepped out of the house, she went to the first boutique on her list for shopping. As she stepped inside, she was amazed at the number of different clothing and shoes, and bags that she was surrounded with."Good afternoon and welcome to the
