episode 13: at madelyn's

The words of his wife haunted the thoughts in her mind. Fears come creeping in as she thought about what she said again.

"You're expecting the truth to be hidden forever?

Everyone will just show their true identity when its time.. Just observe with keen silence and precise wits.."

Her phone vibrated, cutting her thoughts out. She shrieked in surprise, still shaken up by the incident earlier.

She contemplated whether to take the call or to end it, her mind is still too pre-occupied with her words.

Amelia's words.

She picked up the phone to check who it was calling her. It was Harry.

Thinking of his name calmed her mind down. At least a part of it. She was thankful she had someone like him in his life, a good friend. He treated her nicely and was supportive in every choice she makes.

She bit her lip as she decided to whether take his call or not. Well, she didn't.

Her mind is still raising, not a good time yet. She let out a shaky breath, staring at the door at the corner of the room. She can still feel her presence, her haunting aura.

She can't believe she knows about her true identity. She fears about Albert coming to know about it in some time in the future. But what she fears the most are about the consequences she'll face.

The thought about it haunts her everyday, she doesn't want somebody to end up hurt because of her actions. It's too risky.

Her phone vibrated which made her take a look at the text. She smiled lightly as she saw Harry's name on her contacts. She loves how he always checks up on her.

She just decided to call him, her hands are still too shaky to type things up.

"Hello?" She heard his rough yet soft voice on the phone. The sound of him made her smile lightly.

"You called me earlier."

"Sorry if I was disturbing you - I just.." He struggled to find the words as he panicked. The thought of him being shaken up because of her makes her laugh.

He's indeed, cute.

"No, you weren't - I was just taking care of something.." Her breath hitched as she stood up from her bed. She opened the windows to try calming her mind with the cold breeze. She closed her eyes, waiting for him to reply.

"Are you okay? You sound a little.. off." He lightly whispered unto the phone, his voice laced with worry. He was currently eating dinner with Madelyn, who was keenly listening to their conversation.

Harry rolled his eyes as soon as he found her leaning towards him to listen to the phone.

"I'm okay... I'm just - bored." She huffed out, biting her nails soon afterwards. The incident earlier was still bugging up her mind. The thought makes her spine shiver and her skin cool up.

"Ok." Harry replied, it was obvious he wasn't buying it. But he didn't want to cross any line, everybody has things they want to keep for their own.

He cleared his throat to continue, "Would you mind hanging out in Madelyn's tomorrow? She's been wanting to know about you." His voice was coy, it's clear he was nervous. Madelyn loosely and lightly laughed beside him, finding the fact funny that he was suddenly playing shy.
