Reality hit me as I noticed the unfamiliar room. Oh my God! I scrambled off the bed and ran into the bathroom almost tripping on my dress, I can't believe I slept in this dress.

I was angry and frustrated and all this woman doing is sarcasm I really wanna punch her across the face but restrained it knowing that I would be needing her. “ what should I do to stop the punishment?” “ as far as I know you need to find the poem of your clock” “ poem of your clock What the hell is that?” I frowned “the poem of the clock is how the clock wants you to behave” “ great! Now I have to be a puppet” I said with sarcasm “ can you for god sake for once listen the whole damn thing without opening your bloody mouth?”

It felt like a small triumph—a reminder that she was still capable of doing what she loved. Satisfied, Mila glanced at the clock on her desk and was startled to see how late it had gotten. Her stomach grumbled softly, a quiet reminder that she hadn’t eaten since breakfast. She placed a protective hand on her stomach. “Alright, little one. Let’s get some food,” she murmured with a soft smile.

It was time for the evening milking. “This is the only one I have for sale. She is also the gentlest if you don’t scare her. It’s 10 gold coins for her.” Larkin rubbed the cow’s neck “you can milk her. It is time for us to milk her.” Jack and Mira looked at each other with a confused gaze. “The children have never done it. Why don’t you show them?” Harry laughed as he saw their blank look. “What’s there to laugh?” Agnes scolded; Harry obediently shut his mouth.

I jumped into other pages where I could get information because I'm too sleepy already to browse the other pages. The 106th page tackles all about the blank clock birthmarks. The absence of a date of love on the right palm indicates success. Having no clock birthmarks on the left palm means unpredictable death.

I took a sip of her coffee and it was nicely balanced. “I’m sure you’re here to talk about something, considering how early you are,” Aunt Milly said as she was looking at the clock. It was 8 AM. I did not sleep the entire way I was coming here. I just took a nap and I went to drive again until I arrived just a few minutes ago.

HAZEL - *Tick Tock* *Tick Tock* *Tick Tock* "Come on, come on!" I let out an impatient whisper harshly under my breath. "Any second now..." In complete anticipation, my eyes glued the digital Clock against the wall. I had been sitting there on the very edge of my bed for an hour, awaiting the clock to strike midnight already.
