Chapter 30
Celestina's POV
I have no idea on how this face will be removed on my reflection and the only thing I know right is that it is has to be removed before someone could ever see me. And they could not see me as this girl because God knows who is this girl. But the smirk in her face is just a proof that leaving my body is not yet in her plan. And I do not know how to shoo her. I need to win this body.
"Poor little girl, just look how scare you are right now. But for now, there nothing to be afraid of. Just like what I have said, you can have that body for a little more days. Make the most out of it. You will never know how when will I be able to take over your body," she says and I know that she is know threatening me. I know that she can do it. I know that she is serious about it. I need an explanation about this witchcraft happening to me. But I do not know on where or from who I can get an answer.
"You think you can do it?" I tell him with conviction but I will not lie that the fear in me was still there and it is very evident in my tone.
"I know I can do it," she answers then laugh. She is very sure and it is far from the unassured me.
"What kind of creature are you?" I cannot help but asked. With the veins I have right now and the color of my eyes are just a proof that she is not a human. I hope I could get an answer from her. But even though I am hoping, I would still not expect anything.
"I am...a werewolf." My eyes even grew bigger than it already is. I do not know if I will believe her but with the smirk in her face I know that she is just telling the truth. And I could not shrug off the nervous I am feeling. She just almost whispered her last word but I am pretty sure that I have seen right what she was mouthed. She is a werewolf and I know that it is for real.
"You are what?" I asked in horror. She was about to speak again but we got distracted by a swift knock on the door.
"Miss Celestina!" I heard a familiar voice calling my name outside and I am pretty sure that it is Viola. I look at the mirror again and got scarier because of the thought that she might see me with someone else's face. She will surely get confused. "Miss Celestina, are you sleeping again? I will come in now to collect you hamper," she says and I got more panic because she will come in without my consent and she will do that with or without my answer.
But even though how much I would think of something to do, my mind could not function straight because of the thing that I have found out. Until I heard the door opened.
"Please go away, leave me alone!" I tell her because the only thing I could do right now is to beg. I heard Viola's footsteps stopped in front this bathroom when I speak.
"Miss Celestina, I need to collect you clothes," Viola stated and I think that she thought I was speaking to her. And God knows what would be his reaction when she finds out that I have no one talking to so she just assumed that I was talking to her.
And I do not know if this is a great idea or not. Good because she will not think that I am going crazy and talking to myself, or a bad idea because I can sense in her voice how sorry she is for intervening in my room. She thinks I want her out but the truth is not. If there is someone I want to send out, it is this girl in reflection.
I heard the twisting of the doorknob until it is slowly opening.
"No—" I was about to protest but it is too late because Viola appears already at the slightly opened door and I waited for her reaction but I see nothing but her normal face.
"I am really sorry, Miss Celestina but I need to collect you used clothes so that we can do your laundry almost everyday," she says normally like she did not see the other face in me. So I look back at my reflection and I mentally breathe a sigh of relief when I saw my face again. I am still lucky that she wasn't able to see the werewolf appeared in my body.
"Forget it. You can get it," I said and making my voice sweeter than before just so I can make it all up to her. I felt really bad for the mistreatment I did towards her and her daughter even though I did not mean it to.
"Yes, Miss Celestina. Thank you and sorry again." I smile at her then nods. She hurriedly gets the hamper and I know how awkward she is feeling right now. Even though how much I want to tell her that she does not need to do these things fast, I still prefer her to finish everything she has to do here inside my room because I know that is she will stay longer here, I might do another horrible towards her.
When she was done in getting my hamper, I let her leave already. When I heard the door closed, I look at myself again in the mirror and wait for the werewolf to appear again. But after minutes of staring at my own reflection, no other faces appear and I do not know if this is a good news or still something that I should be worried about.
After what happened in the bathroom, I do not think that I could still live a normal life. I know I will be anxious with the fact that there is another face that might be shown when I am on the public places. I just hope that would never happen because that will be a disaster. I cannot give anyone an explanation.
