Also, huge news! This book hit 3,000 reads recently!😱 I am so stoked to have this many reads on my first book. Thank you guys, again!

Now, here is the next chapter of Fear of the Innocent Flame🔥🔥!!

Mindy's POV

I don't know what just happened... At one moment, I was at the door. The next, I was pushed back into my seat at the table. This woman may seem petite and not harmful, but she sure has a good grip! Ouch!

All that sudden motion caused my brain to become dizzy. I didn't even realize that the doll-like girl had closed the door and walked towards me.

I shook my head to try and clear it, but my efforts were in vain. She came up to me and slapped me in the face. That was my wake up call to what was happening. This is not good...

"Awww... You should see your face right now, Mindy~. It's priceless! Now, let's cut to the chase, shall we? I am after someone... someone very dear to my master. Where is she?" Michelle said with a fake hint of kindness. She stared at me with intimidating innocence. It shook me to my core.

I kept my mouth shut. I did not peep a sound. I must protect my friend at all costs. Even if I give up my life and/or freedom in the process.

The doll grew impatient with every passing minute I did not spew my guts out to her. She smirked at me, "Well, now! You are quite stubborn... You see... I don't like stubborn people." As she said this, she inched closer and closer until she was right up in my face. I could feel her angered breath, nipping at my nose. It was getting increasingly harder to keep a straight face and not show her that I am scared.

"Mindy Yamiko, I will give you two options," Michelle began, "You will either tell me everything you know about Lucy, or I will replace you and figure it out myself. Which do you choose?" That second option makes no sense... What does she mean by replace me? She looks nothing like me!

I decide to finally open my mouth to say something. "Wh-what did you mean b-by when you said r-replace m-me?"

Wow, great going Mindy! You just showed that you are afraid and your talking to yourself. Brilliant! Great job!

"Ahuhuhu~! The frightened puppy speaks! For that, I will throw you a bone. When I say I will replace you, I will literally replace you. My master, my maker, made me from a doll. In fact, I am one of Lucy's dolls she had when she was only a small tot. But now I have real purpose! Now, I am big and alive! When my master rebourne me, he gave me the power to imitate whoever I want to be. After all, my real name is not Michelle, but Imitatia!" she cackled and snorted. Her "nice girl" facade was totally ruined when she revealed her true form.

Imitatia wore huge green vines, decorated with sharp thorns. Her hair remained blonde, but became cloud-like unlike her previous style of straight and curled. On her face, there is an eye patch with a green vine and a red rose, hovering over her right eye. Her visible eye only showed hatred and disgust. The dainty look she had before has completely vanished into thin air.

My jaw dropped... What am I going to do now? I am too old to fight back, and win. I'm sorry, Lucy. I am such a lousy friend. This would not have happened if I had not called...

"What will it be old lady?" Imitatia sneered.

There is only one way for there to be a chance at Lucy avoiding her father... I cannot tell this demon anything! I hope she can see that she is not me. I believe she will figure it out. She also won't be alone... Natsu, protect her...

I lifted my head till my eyes met hers,"I won't be telling you s***, b****!" My teeth clenched together from sheer anger.

With a swift movement, the witches' knee connected with my gut. My vision started to go blurry... The last thing I hear before I blackout is, "This is going to be fun."
