SGE: Hidden Secrets

Another Confession

Agatha waited patiently in her room. Two armchairs were placed beside her bed, one on her right, another on her left. Agatha pulled the blanket up, bracing herself for what could come next.

It was Monday, and on doctor's orders, Agatha stays in bed for one more week. She says that the dream left her numb and pale. But Agatha only felt pale. But not always. Only if she thought of the dream or when she was about to sleep. Every day fear blanketed her, fear that said "You're gonna get that dream again."

Agatha didn't speak much the last few days. She had felt tired and woozy. But now she was ready to hear the truth.

She waited and waited and waited. Agatha frowned. They were supposed to come right about.... Now!

Someone knocked. Agatha held her breath as the door opened. She waited for the confessor to come. Instead a doctor came in. Agatha raged with fury. "GET OUT! CALL THEM NOW! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AGES ALREADY!!!"

Immediately, the stunned doctor rushed ou the door, hair flying. Agatha was stung with guilt. He didn't do anything. He knocked. Why did she do such a thing? She hit her head in the pillow. "Why-" A hit. "Did-" Another hit. "I-"Another. "Do-" One more. "That!" Last hit.

Another knock. Agatha say upright ready to say sorry to the doctor. Ready to do whatever medical thing he wants her to do. Instead Tedros came in with a smile. His crown was placed neatly on this hair. "What ya do the Barney? He was running like a mad man saying that you've gone rouge." Barney was the doctor.

Sophie came in next. She wore Lesso's dress. Her golden hair (now with streaks of purple) was gorgeously braided. "What is it darling?"

Agatha took a deep breath. "Sit down." She gestured to the two armchairs. "Tell me" She tried her best to make an intimidating look. Tedros couldn't help but laugh at the silly face of Agatha. Agatha frowned."Just tell me." She said impatiently.

Sophie have a concerned look to Tedros. Tedros returned it. Sophie sighed. She shook her head saying "no". Agatha sighed and put her hand on her eyes, massaging it. Her patience was weak and her anger burned inside of her. Why won't they tell me? I have gone used to backstabbing, betrayal, love, hatred, happiness,anger, doubt, fear, courage. (But of course, she will feel anger, sadness, despair, etc.)
She prepared all day, week, for this. She hoped and dreamed of knowing the truth. She need it. She deserved it. Now, she only needs their participation.

"Ok. Here it is." Tedros said. Agatha waited for the anger to swell up, for the fear to blanket her, for despair to follow her, but it didn't come. Well not the kind of anger, fear, and despair she prepared for. She waited for either of them to say, "We're dating" or "We're sorry. We are together" or something. But instead she heard "We were working on something to-" Tedros stopped. Agatha knew he was about to say "together". "It's okay." She said. In her mind.

"Ever since you were unconscious in the room in the School for Evil, we knew it has been growing worse. You didn't see anything or heard anything, right?" Tedros said with a thoughtful look. Agatha shook her head. What is it? She turned to Sophie.

"Dovey says that the dream you had was a special kind. A 'warning dream' she calls it." Sophie paused. "You saw Rafal. I killed him. How did you see him?"

The trio thought and thought. Finally Agatha said "What if, a part of the ring, didn't shatter? Didn't break. Rafal would still be there, but weak. Very weak."

"How can that be? We saw him disappear into thin air." Tedros said. "Plus, the Storian finished our story. It finally wrote 'The End'."

"Yeah but we never received the book right? Dovey, or Hester, or Kiko must have given it back to us. Or any student there. They are still studying. We only left because Sophie was told to be the dean, and we are King and Queen." Agatha considered. "What if the book has gone on for so long, it's starting a new one?"

"What The Tale of Sophie and Agatha 2?" Sophie snorted. Tedros nodded in agreement. Agatha just shrugged. "All these are just theories. But what better theories do you guys have?"

"It could not be Rafal? Maybe someone else did it." Tedros suggested.

"Castlekeeping!" Said a voice outside the door. It was Jess, the maid in charge of the king and queen's room. Agatha nodded and Tedros and Sophie said their goodbyes, opened the door and left. Jess came in, broom in hand.

"I didn't disturb something very important did I?" She said in her high voice.

" No. Nothing at all." Agatha replied.

"Well then. Better get sleeping. We will have your dinner delivered here." Jess said.

Agatha snuggled up in her bed, blanket all the way up. She slept. While she was sleeping, she sniffed something. It smelled like the roses during springtime. Now it smelled like the zombie villains. Then it smelled like chocolate cake.

The fragrance found it's way to her open window and found it's first victim. Where did this fragrance come from? Oh look. Over there. In the middle of the woods. It's from that lump of rocks. Or is that... No it can't be... Nope, it is. It's coming from the cave.

Sorry for not updating recently. But I'm on summer vacation so then I will try to update some more.
