ANATHEMA

CHAPTER 3

The night has finally brimmed the sky, a group of people were joyously dancing in front of the fire while they drink and smoke like there's no tomorrow in the house of Ms. Marie, while Akael was just standing in the corner crossing his arms, Arsha gazed at him and mouthed something.

"COME HERE." He didn't even listen to her, he just smiled at her it was like he was saying that she is on her own. Arsha gritted her teeth, if she ever had a choice she would have left this place an hour ago, he knows her secret and who knows if she declined his request he'll be running off to tell the fowlers about her, and she did not want to die yet. How can she put Marie to sleep when there's a lot of people lurking in every corner of her place.

"Come on now Selena, drink up." Marie called her using her fake name.

"I don't drink." She said while her eyes were still on Akael, he was just staring at her emotionless. She sighed in defeat when she confirmed that he had no plan on helping her, she move her gaze to Marie while her thoughts wanders trying to figure out how to execute something that is impossible to do since there's a lot people here, she needed a plan and there is one she could think of.

"Oh silly you. Try it, just once."

"I don't drink cheap wine, I have quite the expensive taste." She directly told her, Marie raised her eyebrows.

"I beg your pardon, Ms. Selena this wine is far from cheap." She was obviously offended.

"It's cheap for me." She plainly said, Arsha obviously stepped on her nerves. Marie cackled and gazed at her.

"If you want the most expensive wine, you're in luck I have a lot of those in my wine collection." She proudly states.

"Is there anyone inside your wine collection?"

"No?" Marie was confused about her question nevertheless she just shook it off and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Arsha asked.

"I don't trust some lowly servant to fetch my expensive wine, so I'm going to get it myself." Marie stated and obviously she's a bit drowsy.

"I'm coming with you, I would love to see your exquisite wine collection." Marie stared at her to see her reaction and Arsha immediately put her sincere look.

"Alright then."

Arsha followed Marie inside the house, she gazed around to see Akael's reaction, he was just staring at her as if he was waiting for her next move.

"Here it is." Next thing she knew they were now inside the room where her  wine collection took place.

"Isn't it lovely, you should take one—" she turned around facing Arsha who is now grinning at her.

"Good night." Arsha blows blue dust on her face, Marie lost consciousness and fell to the ground luckily she did not fall towards her wine collection, if that happens the noise would draw a lot of attention. It transpired so fast that Arsha hastily bent down and touched the unconscious lady's forehead, she closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again her amber eyes emblem into gold.

She searched for Marie's moments with Akael, which was not hard to find since her memories of him just happened not so long ago, she smiled when she saw Akael's face in her memory, however in a split second her eyes widened when she saw the memories, her face turned red as a tomato. Embarrassed about what she had seen she demolished it with haste, It was embarrassing to even mention any details about what she had seen. She also erased their first meeting for necessity safe precaution, it is better to take care of your future hurdles in advance than be sorry later.

"That indecent bonkers." She whispered to herself, after her mission was done, she gazed at the woman who was laying on the solid floor, then without thinking twice she hastily left the house without delay, luckily she hadn't seen the man whose vocabulary lacks immorality, she hoped to not see that womanizer ever again.
