Bella's point of view

After the announcement the Royal court made of making Amanda leave the Witchland, we all locked ourselves inside the house. Amanda has completely shut us off, even if we try to make her talk to us, she just won't budge no matter what. She wouldn't have her food either, she has been like that since yesterday making me worry even more. 

"Maybe... I shouldn't have said that..." I whisper to myself in horror, 

"Maybe... It would've been better if she died along with her ba-" I was stopped mid-sentence by a tingling sensation on my cheek. It took me a minute or so to realise what happened. 

"What the hell are you saying!?" Daniel yelled at me while he tightens his grip on my arms. 

"I just..." My voice barely coming, I tried pushing down the lump which has formed in my throat but it didn't work. I felt pain in my heart and the place where Daniel is tightly holding me. Automatically, before I even realise, tears started pouring down furiously and suddenly, as if I have no strength to stand, I plopped down on the floor while I weakly hold Daniel's collar. 

"What am I supposed to do, Daniel? She is suffering because of me. If only I had forced her..." I sobbed into his chest while he caress my hair gently. 

"Just stay strong for her. If you blame yourself, then it will break her even more." Daniel's gentle voice makes my heart clench which caused me to cry even more. 

"I will go check on her again, you go wash your face." Daniel said and softly kisses the top of my head. 

I wipe my tears with my hands and weakly smiled at him. He gets up from the floor and walks towards Amanda's room. I look at the floor with a blank expression as soon as Daniel was out of sight. Even though I feel like crying more, I just can't bring my tears to come out anymore. I get up on my feet and stumbled as soon as I started walking. 

"Bella!!" Daniel's horrified voice booms in the whole house, making me startled and alarmed. He ran towards me and held me while he furiously shakes. 

"D- Daniel! What happened!? Did something happen to Amanda!?" My voice shakes in fear as I asked him. I can feel my breathing stop while I wait for him to answer my question. 

"She- she is not in her room!" He said with pure fear. My eyes go wide as soon as I processed what he really said.
