(OKAY, MY READERS, I MADE AN ERROR. XADEN DOESN’T COME IN YET, SO PLEASE CARRY ON FROM HERE)
Rose trembled and seemed to be in a deteriorating state of mind.
Cherry considered using the chaos to take Auburn away.
Her eyes darted from left to right before she mistakenly made eye contact with The flame, who was glaring at her like a hawk watching its prey.
She gritted her teeth.
The bitch!
Rose’s hands trembled as she set her hand against her temple, trying to get a hold of her breath.
Cherry could tell her sister was overwhelmed.
"Just give me a GODDAMN minute!" Rose screamed in anger, and no one uttered a word.
She took in a deep breath as she fidgeted with her hankie before slowly turning to face the wall and backing away.
No one said a word.
After a few minutes of tense silence, Rose slowly turned back to face everyone.
She sniffed, and her face had become puffy.
"How did you meet Jasmine?" Rose asked.
The flame paused before speaking. "I told you. She came to me. She was looking for her lineage, and I discovered only after she had gone. I traced Scarlett and found out she was her daughter."
Rose was trembling.
Rose turned to the flame, her eyes puffy and her sniffs constant.
The flame walked up to Auburn.
Auburn tried to retract her steps and move back, but the Flame caught her and dragged the necklace on her bosom.
The emerald necklace glistened, and then, to everyone’s shock, she snatched it off her neck.
Rose, Cherry, and Coral screamed at her not to.
But it was too late, the emerald necklace was in her palm.
Rose looked around. Everyone looked at each other, but nothing happened.
Everywhere was as still and quiet as it had been.
Cherry knew the deal was up.
"If she were the true princess, she would have the real emerald, but this is a fake. The pack would have shaken; monsters would have slowly begun to emerge. But nothing." She said, and the silence began to eat into everyone’s soul.
Now all eyes were on Auburn.
She took a step back and retracted, aware that she was in enemy territory.
She looked at Cherry, and Cherry flashed her eyes, warning her to stay silent.
Rose turned to Auburn. "How could you? You monster! You took advantage of a grieving mother and took me to your own advantage?!"
Auburn was shaking so violently, and soon the tears began to flow.
She stuttered, trying to find a word to speak
Cherry wished she could use magic to seal her lips, but using magic could get her into trouble.
The mage could sense it and expose her, so she was forced to look at Auburn with eyes of warning.
Then Auburn fell to her knees and began to weep and beg Rose.
"Please forgive me. I beg you." She wept. "I didn’t mean to. I only needed a family. This wasn’t me."
Rose kicked her with her perfect shoes, and Auburn’s lips soon bled.
"How did you know I was looking for my granddaughter?" Rose demanded. "Only members of the royal family were aware. SO how did you know?"
Auburn’s busted lip was now hovering violently in fear.
