Bitna
I watched the doctor’s face anxiously, wishing I could read through his kind n know what he was thinking. Well, either ways, I needed an answer from him and he shouldn’t think of rejecting me.
“Miss Bitna…” He called and brought his stethoscope down from his neck.
“I don’t understand… what you’re doing talking about, dear. Why…Why would you want me to change the results?”
“Because it isn’t right, doctor!” I hit my hands lightly on the table.
“All this isn’t right. It shouldn’t be happening. So, in here , doctor, to put a stop it to it. And I need your help. Please…”
He scoffed and touched his nape.
“Please doctor” I continued.
“You can ask for anything at all. Money? Jewellries? I’m…I’m ready to do any of it. But please…help me. I need those results changed.

Danica
I returned home – Prince Nathan’s home – but couldn’t find him at home. The house was almost quiet.
Where did he go?
I went to the room first and showered, then changed into something simple and after which, I laid on the bed to rest.
Even in my light sleep, I still felt disturbed and could barely enjoy it.
*************
I had woken up hours later feeling weak. G©sh! What’s wrong with me?
I touched my head and it was feeling really hot. Oh! Please, don’t tell me I’m falling sick. Please, please.
I left the bed and walked round the house, seems the prince was still not back.
Maybe…. I should make him some food before he returns.
I went into the kitchen and took a look at what they had. Wow! It was stuck with assorted stuff. I wonder why he keeps all these when he rarely stays here.
Deciding on a stew, I took out the ingredients I wanted and started working on it.
Minutes later..
One of the securities at the gate found his way to me in the kitchen.
“Sorry to interrupt you, ma’am. But there’s someone looking for you at the gate. A guy” he reported and I arched my brows.
A guy? Who could probably be looking for me over here?
“Who’s he?” I asked, concerned.
“He said his name is Scott”.

Princess Mabel
I returned home from school and searched for mum all over.
“Where’s my mother?” I asked a maid I had seen.
“She’s in the other room, princess” the maid bowed and I quickly left, going to the room.
The other room.
There were guards on the door post when I arrived and they opened the door for me and gave me passage – of course.
I went in and found mother, sitting on father’s bed where he slept.
“Mum” I called with relief and she turned to spare me a stare.
Her eyes looked worried, her hand resting on father’s forehead.
“Mabel…you’re home” she said fraily.
She was looking really worried.
“Y…Yes mother. I’ve been looking for you”.
I stared at father who was sleeping. His face was becoming white and pale. His condition had indeed, gone beyond worst.
“Is there a problem?” Mother asked and I took my eyes away from father.
“Um…not really. How’s father doing?” I asked.
“Take a look for yourself, Mabel. He’s growing worst. We’re losing him” she said whisperingly.
“The um…the boys working underground for you, hasn’t there been any feedback from them?”
“Not yet. They’re still making research. But we’re running out of time, Mabel”
G©sh.
I sighed and went to sit on the little space left on the bed.
“I’m sorry, mother. I…. I hope everything would be fine soon” I said forlornly and she muttered something I couldn’t hear.
Just then, the door opened and Princess Odeya and her mother walked in.
Yeah, crap.
“What’re you doing here?” The queen growled, actually making me surprised.
“Are you here to kill him the same way you almost killed my son??”
What the…
“What’re you talking about, Na…”
“Don even call my name!” She rasped, cutting mum off.
“My name shouldn’t be called on the tongues of traitors”.
“And who’s the traitor?” I scoffed and stood up. “You don’t just come in here and point fingers at my mum. I won’t take that”.
“Watch your tongue, Mabel. I wouldn’t want to cut it out for you” Deya cut in.
“Enough!” Mum suddenly said and stood up.
“Come on, Mabel. Your father needs some rest and we shouldn’t stress him out with the presence of these two”
She held my hand and led me out of the room and as we did, I glared hard at Deya. I’m definitely going to put her in her place.

Danica
Scott?
Hold on…Scott? Scott’s looking for me???
I don’t understand. Why the hell would he come here???
I was bewildered. Has his insanity taken him to this extent?
I dropped the knife I was holding and followed the guard out of the room. Goodness! I couldn’t wait to lay my hands on him – I swear.
We got downstairs, out to the gate and I really found him there – in the company of the other guards.
So, it’s true then? He’s really here?
My hands tightned beside me as I walked closer to him, and his eyes beamed.
I couldn’t talk with him in the presence of the guards. So, I moved away, and he followed.
“Danica….” He called as soon as we were far from the guards and immediately, I turned and slapped him.
“How dare you, Scott?” I rasped. “how dare you come over here? Have you finally lost it??”
His hand went over his cheek. Then he sighed and brought it down.
“I’ve been looking for you” his voice was a low growl.
“I need….to discuss something important with you”.
“Whatever it is, Scott, if it doesn’t have to do with you leaving me alone, then forget it!” I snapped and turned to walk away, but he pulled me back by the wrist.
“The mark on your waist” he said. “How did you get it?”
I looked at him in surprise. Huh?
“What mark are you talking about?” I asked.
“You know what I’m talking about, Danica. The mark on your waist. How did you get it?” His face was so hard and his tone serious.
Hold on…
Is he talking about the number 12 on my waist?
But how did he…..
Oh my! But why’s it important to him? It’s just a mark.
“Talk to me, Danica” he shook my hand and I flinched.
Just then, I saw the gates opening and taking a look, I saw Nathan’s car driving in.
