"This is the cream that can remove scars, your highness". The doctor said as he handed over to me, three glass bottles.

"How much is this?" I asked him.

"Seventy thousand dollars, your highness". The doctor replied.

"That is too expensive. How about we-"

"Take this". I said, hanging over the cheque to him before Aunty Black could complete her sentence.

"Thank you so much, your highness". He said, putting the cheque in his pocket.

"If this doesn't work, be ready to lose your family". I told him before rising to my feet.

"It is authentic. It came from China, your highness. Very effective and-"

"I would have loved to believe you, but the girls are still unconscious and you told me a week ago that they will wake up in two days!... I haven't punished you for lying to me yet, don't add more to it". I warned.

He bowed before me "Please, your highness. They will be awake at any time". He begged. I kicked him aside and walked to the balcony.

"Nora, won't you eat?... You sparingly eat these days. It's giving me some concern" I heard Aunty Black say.

I said nothing as I sat on the swing. Looking at the gloomy skies.

"When will you come back to check on their health?" I asked the doctor.

"In two days time, your highness". He replied.

"You better pray to whatever you serve that the girls should be awake before then". I threatened him.

"Y...Y...yes...your high...ness". He stammered.

"You may leave". I ordered. I could see Aunty Black standing beside me even without fully looking at her. I pretended not to see her and started swinging.

"Your highness, Prince Green wants to see you". I heard a maid say. I turned around to look at where the voice came from and saw that the maid was in my room.

Angrily, I got down from the swing and threw the nearest breakable vase at her. She dodged it, and the Vase hit the wall which was behind her and shattered.

"NORA!" Aunty Black yelped in surprised.

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU THAT I HATE STRANGERS WALKING INTO MY ROOM?!!!" I screamed.

"I'm... i'm... I'm sorry, your...your...your highness". I heard the maid stammer as she trembled in fear. She was lucky that she dodged the vase.

"AND YOU'RE STILL STANDING THERE. GET OUTTTTTT!" I screamed. The maid scrambled out of my room.

"Nora, you need to get a grip of yourself".

"EVERYBODY OUTTTTTT!" I screamed, turning over the glass table I had in the balcony in anger and the glass shattered.

I was so angry, I didn't want to see anybody. I cooled down a little when I saw that the room was empty.

I don't know exactly why I was angry but I just knew that I wasn't okay and seeing Green or Nanny will make worse, my condition.

All I pray for is that those girls shouldn't die because of me. Cause I don't think I can ever get rid of that guilt.

I was woken up by the sound of a ringing phone. It was mine, I knew it. I stood up from the couch which I had laid and walked in the direction of the sound. I found it the suitcase Mary had packed for me. It's been a week now, and the bags we took havn't been touched.
