"Anna....Please help me" He whispered and I went numb for a second.
Help him...Do what??
"King Lee" I called again and scuttled to where he was on the floor.
He sighed and stood up with his bloody hands.
"What happened you, your highness?....did you just kill the sick dog?" I asked dumbfounded.
He glanced at me with dimmed eyes.
"I...I..." He paused and looked around.
"The dog attacked me--".
I gasped and feebly took him by his wrist. I walked with him back into the room and headed for the bathroom.
I helped him wash his hands thoroughly in the sink.
He was quiet through out.
I led him back to the room - to the wardrobe to pick a clean new outfit for him.
I unbuttoned his stained shirt and dropped it on the floor.
I turned around and looked into the wardrobe for another shirt.
I got my hand on a red one and handed it to him. He glared at me before throwing his face to look elsewhere.
Yeish.
I turned back to the wardrobe and took a white shirt instead.
He took it from me and wore it quickly.
My eyes dropped on the pants he was putting on. Do I have to change that too?
"Its not stained" He said like he read my mind.
I nodded and looked around the room.
"Won't you take off your dress so you'll be more comfortable?" He suggested and assisted me with the dress.
It was hard for me to expose my body at first but then...he's seen it all!
I checked his wardrobe for a shirt and I found on just long enough.
He took my hand and started towards the bed.
"Let's get some sleep" He cooed and we laid on the bed together in silence.

I wasn't sleepy as I kept reminiscing about what happened earlier with the dog.
I tried to put myself in the dog's shoes -
He would kill me out of anger that I lied to him about being Anna. Then immediately after killing me, he would realize what he's just done and someone else would help him clean up.
Now I'm sure my days here are numbered.
He made me drop my head on his chest and I took a deep sigh.
The guilt of the dog still engulfed me. I let the innocent die. I got a hunch that King Lee would kill it because of the inability for it to get cured.
I'm so selfish!...
He began stroking my hair and I lifted my head to look at him.
"Go to sleep" He hushed and I closed my eyes.
He kept stroking my hair.
"I know they're coming for me Anna" He whispered and I opened my eyes.
What does he mean? Who's coming for him??

"Are you sure?!" Simone yelled immediately I told her about Anna having powers.
"I'm not sure Simone but I'm just suspicious" I said scrunitizing over the memory.
Xenia said she touched her that night. My daughter wouldn't lie to me.
Simone looked around the veranda where we stood.
"Well...I've also suspected her. It was during that time I was recovering from the abortion pills. She offered to massage me and after she was done. The cramps disappeared. Even the doctor found it preposterous" She stated and my eyes widened.
So...I was right about that little witch.
"So, I'm not the only one suspecting that mysterious girl. We are going to set a trap for her that'll definitely blow her mind" I professed smirking.
"And how are we going to do that?" She asked curiously.
"It involves hurting Xenia so she wouldn't resist saving her" I blurted.
"What??? Hurt your own daughter??" She yelled gob smacked.
I nodded and touched her shoulder.
