Chapter Three – The Fate Queen Pays Me A Visit

lord tragic (he was “unknown” from the last chapter)-

                I can’t help but laugh evilly at the stupid argument turned wrestling between the two. “Master, your plan has worked!” Eustace says. I give him an ‘of-course’ look. “Obviously, Eustace.” I say and I roll my eyes at him. He can sometimes be dumb but he is trust-worthy. I keep on looking from the hologram that I have created with an amused look.

                A flicker of red caught my attention. The ginger-head! Ha, it is your turn to be frustrated! As if to agree with my statement, the ginger-head huffs and stomps angrily and Eustace and I laugh away.

                I guess we laughed too loudly since the ginger-head looked in our way and saw us. What? How? I shake my head. I must be hallucinating! No one can look and hear through my holograms! Or not...

                “EUSTACE!” I shout angrily and from the corner of my eye, I see him stiffen. “Y-yes, Lord Tragic?” he stutters. “Did you put on the dual mode?!” I ask, still fuming. And I thought the ginger would be the only one to be frustrated. Forget that I said Eustace is trust-worthy.

                I turn to look at Eustace and see that his forehead is glistening with sweat. “I-I’m afraid s-so, m-master...” he stutters again and trails off, closing his eyes as if anticipating something bad. Well, something will really happen... and it would be bad.

                “EUSTACE YOU ARE AN ID*OTIC B*STARD!” I started to shout at him. He flinched. “Manners!” I suddenly heard. I look back at the hologram and saw the ginger, who likes to call herself the ‘Fate Queen’, staring at us angrily. I make faces at her childishly and slam the ‘disconnect’ button.

andromeda-

                I still can’t believe it! I thought Jace would come by to make it up to me but instead he calls me ugly and a train! But I’m grateful that I was able to tackle him a few times. I saw shock in his eyes every time I did so. I was surprised, too but I just shrugged it off and blamed it on adrenaline. Though I was sick...

                But what shocked me the most was I took the names Jace called me seriously. I guess it was the fever’s effects. “Andromeda, Roe! Time for dinner!” Mom calls from the dining room. “Coming!” I hear Roe’s distant reply and footsteps. “The song bird’s coming!” I yell, teasing Roe.

                After the argument (or more like wrestling), Mom was giving us a lecture when Roe started singing out of nowhere as he slammed the front door shut as he just came home from his friend’s house. We all took a break from the serious mode and laughed until our stomachs hurt. I’m telling you, you should put on ear plugs whenever Roe sings unless you want your eardrums shattered.

                I could imagine Roe rolling his eyes at me. I chuckle and stand up, headed for the dining room.

                I shower before going to bed, put on my nightgown and hop on my bed. I yawn as I pull the comfortable duvet over my slightly cold body. As I close my eyes, I hear a voice saying, “Hello, Andromeda!”

                My eyes quickly flutter open and I sit up immediately. I look around my room and see no one. I shake my head. “You’re just sleepy.” I mutter to myself. “No you’re not.” the same voice says and I see a red-haired woman in a Victorian-style dress that looks slightly in her late twenties. I scream. “W-what are you doing here?” I ask and I cover myself with my blanket. Who is this lady? Is she a kidnapper in disguise? I shiver.
