“I'm sorry Aurby but it was urgent, The girl really needed it”

“The girl?” She repeated gazing at him suspiciously.

“You fuçking gave my umbrella to your girlfriend!” She yelled.

“No Aurby...

“Mom!!! Freddie gave my...

Alfred quickly blocked her mouth with his palm, Auburn removed it instantly.

“I'm sorry Auburn and the girl's not my girlfriend, She just needed my help that's all”

“Why should I believe you?”

“Because... because I'm saying the truth”

Auburn scoffed “I must tell Mom about this” She said but Alfred blocked her path.

“Fine what do you want?” He said reluctantly and Auburn smiled cunningly.

“Now you're speaking my language”

Cassandra stepped out of the bathroom with only a towel, She met Cinderella arranging a space for herself in the spacious room.

Since Cinderella was backing the bathroom door, She didn't see Cassandra.

She dropped the her own bed a bit far from that of Cassandra then she took out the bed sheet from a bag, Then she noticed someone presence, She literally flinched on beholding Cassandra.

“Geez don't scare me like that, Ever again!” She said breathing heavily while she held her chest, Her heart almost flew out.

“Wasn't even trying to scare you” Cassandra replied scoffing dryly.

Later on, Cassandra wore her nighties and retired to bed.

She was laying on the bed while facing Cinderella's position and the Cinderella girl won't stop smiling at her, She scoffed and turned away, Trying to get some sleep.

School resumes tomorrow.

“I know you're a weirdo but can we talk at least, The silence in here is gawd damn suffocating” Cinderella said but no replies came.

Cassie ignored her, Totally.

She hissed while mumbling some curses she got her phone and went to the group chat.

CINDY: Hey guys, Anyone there??‍♂️

PRINCESS: I'm here?So what's up gal

CINDY: Not that good, currently living with a ghost

PRINCESS: What do you mean, Did your mom die or something ?

CINDY: You're insane ?(Princess react haha?)

PRINCESS: Just my humble opinion ?

CINDY: Whatever, I'm living with Cassandra and her attitude is gawd damn suffocating ?

PRINCESS: ???Beware she might murder you in the night, That gal's a witch, That's why I never relate with her, She killed her own sister!!!

CINDY: I know but...but... She's my step sister after all?

PRINCESS: *Hisses* just be careful, That gal can't be trusted

CINDY: I know ?

PRINCESS: Good night, I'm feeling sleepy already.

Cinderella tossed off her phone, Her gaze slowly going back to Cassandra, She could hear her snoring inaudibly.

She smiled before facing the ceiling hoping she could sleep off any minute.

But it didn't...

Minutes turned to hours, Cinderella wasn't asleep.

“Ah swear! Please believe me mom, Ah swear I didn't kill her” Cassandra mumbled In her sleep while shaking her head and tears was busy streaming down her cheeks.

She was having the nightmare again!

Cinderella slowly stood up on hearing that, She took slow strides towards Cassandra's bed.

“I swear I didn't kill her...” She cried yet her eyes were still close.

Strangely, Cinderella folded her hands under her breast a smirk curving up on her lips.

She stared at Cassandra, Strangely.

Then she said;

“Of course you did Cassandra”

The smirk on her lips twisting into a slow sly smile, That meant no good.
