"What happened? Mommy, Mommy! Where are you!" Scarlett screamed out loud.
The soonest her mother came.
"Why, darling? Why are you screaming? Is something hurting you? Are you feeling something?" she also has a quick question for her.
Her mother is like that. It's not like other rich people who almost neglect their children because they are busy with work. But her Mommy is very different from them. That is why she is so lucky to have a mother like her.
"I'm not sick, Mommy. I just want to ask something. How did I get home here last night? As far as I know, I'm in a strange place. Those creatures want to kill me but I never permitted them. The last thing I remember is that I threw stones at them fireballs---"
"Darling, you never go anywhere else last night. You and Duncan just said goodbye to go for a walk and be together for a while. But you didn't stay long either." She interrupted her while talking.
"That's impossible, Mommy! Because I can see how Duncan and I fought those unseen creatures who chased me. Ah, right! I'm going to ask Duncan. I need to talk to him properly!" she said.
But her mind is starting to be wild. For the first time in her life that she is seeing strange matters. How come her mother is telling her that she didn't go anywhere? Is there something about her identity that she doesn't know? In her dream, she is one of those creatures. Not only that, she threw a fireball that toasted those mad ones. If she can create a fire, then she is a dragon woman!
"Hija, your Mommy is telling you the truth. But if that's what you want, go ahead and make sure to know what you wanted." Mrs O'Hara could do nothing but agree with her daughter.
The words of their daughter's real father were still fresh in her mind. That's right, the girl in front of her didn't come from her womb. But for her, she considered it more than that. She is the reason why are living luxuriously nowadays.
"She is not an ordinary person, Madam. That's why I will leave her with you and your husband. Love, take care of her and accept her as your true daughter. Because from this day onwards, you will be her parents not me," said the man who knocked on their gate.
"But, I have a question, Mister. You said that she is like a normal person. Maybe when she grows up, we will be destroyed? What is your personality and where do you live? As her keeper, we need to know more about her and you, Mister," she said.
Maybe he wouldn't blame her if she asked one question after another. Because according to him, she and her husband will be the parents of the baby. That is why they need to know the basic information about the real identity of the child.
"I am a leader of the wolves, Madam. But her mother is a half-dragon and half-human. Because of that fact, our clan almost doesn't want to accept her. I also don't want her to be like me who lost her mother early. That is why I will entrust her to you.
As for your other question, nothing will happen to her at the moment. But in due period, on her eighteenth birthday, she will begin to change. But as long as you can, stop her from transforming from a normal person to be like us, wolf."
Because of the man's statements, they became more speechless. How can they say more words if they can't find anything to say?
BECAUSE of Scarlett's statements earlier that day, the O'Hara couple agreed to talk about it. They also wanted to talk outside but they thought that it might affect their daughter.
"Maybe it's time to tell her the truth, honey. Look at her, she's so messy now," said Mrs O'Hara.
"That's true, honey. But that person strictly instructed us that as long as we can stop her not to confess. She's eighteen years old now. Who knows this is just the beginning? What will happen to her if we'll give in now? No, honey. Let's hold on for now," replied Mr O'Hara while disapproval was shown all over his face.
"We're already there, honey. But I feel sorry for her. She didn't even enjoy her eighteenth birthday because of what happened," he said again.
On that occasion Mr O'Hara was speechless. Even though the child did not come from their blood and flesh, they considered it more than that. They have been married for several years but have never been blessed with a real child. Even when baby Scarlett came into their lives it was still the same. They still haven't had any real offspring up to the present. That is why it's really hard to let her go from their lives. So if he is the one to follow, he doesn't want to tell the truth about their daughter.
But!
"Honey? Hey, honey. What's happening to you? It's been a while since I'm talking here. Are you listening or what?"
Mrs. O'Hara's exhortation to her husband who seems possessed by an evil spirit. But she cannot blame him. No one can understand him as she does.
Meanwhile, the Lord was confused because of what his wife taught him. His thoughts deepened. So he breathed deeply before speaking.
"I'm sorry, honey. I was in deep thought. That man's words are still fresh in my mind even though it's been eighteen years since then. It looks like it is only from yesterday. The truth? I don't know how to lose her," he explained.
"Why, honey, is it just you? Me too. She's my daughter after all. But how long are we going to leave her like this? I mean on her messy life," said the Lady sadly.
"Right now we need to guide her more. It's not yet time to let her know her true personality. So, I'm so sorry if I don't agree with your opinion." He shook his head in disapproval.
Because of this, the Lady did not speak again. He also did not want the fear to happen. But what can he do if they just borrow the child? Eighteen years she and her husband took good care of Scarlett O'Hara as their child.
As the days go on! The vacation is over.
Everyone needs to go back to the university.
"She is a shameless woman! She still dares to come back here after she dumped her boyfriend while he is a dean's son."
"Well, let's see now how she can escape from every issue here at the university. She's so lucky because Duncan had chosen her. But that girl trashed it. I want to strangle her to death.
"Because of that woman, our beloved Duncan Gregory is now in a coma. I'll teach a lesson on that filthy jerk!"
Just some of the conversations Scarlett hears from fellow students she passes in each hallway. That's why she stepped faster to get to her seat immediately.
'What's happening on earth, Scarlett? Did you break up with your beloved Duncan? But it's impossible that I'll do that. Even we didn't have any misunderstanding nor a fight.'
Fortunately, her seat is in the back and near the window. So she can freely wander her eyes to the trees over there. The scope of the university where she studies is wide. The building they are in is also one of the proofs. It's very clean even if you see only green grasses.
"I'm sure that you are imagining your next target, Miss O'Hara. Based on your deep thoughts just now while looking intently at the green ground. It only proves that you need to be f*CK over there."
"If you want, let's start, Miss O'Hara. In case you forgot, Duncan is my cousin and I'm not far from being handsome. He's only better than me because his mother is the university dean. But when it comes to wealth and looks, I can't be defeated."
"None of you want to sleep with Miss O'Hara. Because if she's not going to be with anyone but only me. Here, right now in this classroom, I'm going to make her more than you can handle."
Because of the rudeness of the words that they uttered against her, she stood up and faced them She began to tremble with anger and shame. Even if she had no idea what they were saying, she could not keep quiet. She didn't even know how she dumped her beloved Duncan.
"Don't you want to stop me, animals? I have no idea what you're talking about. Because in fact, I haven't seen him in days and my boyfriend hasn't shown up to me---"
"Liars go to hell, Miss O'Hara! If you want to go to hell, just go ahead in making stories!"
"That's right! You are a liar, you girl! Who would believe that you haven't seen him for a long time when many people saw you two on your birthday? They said you left to go solo. He probably cheated on you."
Interrupting some of her speech. That is why her feelings against them are more burning. She's burning as hell deep inside her. It was the first time he was angry like that.
Bloody fires!
Because of her anger, she's seeing unusual things including the fires. Not only that, her eyes are turning red and she feels like she wants to eat them alive!
But then...
Before she could do anything, a scarier moment happened!
What is it?
Why did everyone scream in fear?
