The Spider's Curse

In my Head

     "Are you sure you'll be fine with this Mrs. Lovat? The weather isn't nice just like yesterday..." Coraline sighed through the dim dark clouds as asked the old woman sitting on her rocking chair outside the house, the sky wasn't such a fine weather either, now that her grandson has gone for a business trip, it worries Coraline for Mrs. Lovat's state or health, the wind is strong, a possible rain would come, she might end up get wet, or even worse, gotten sick...

She couldn't blame Wyborn afterall, that guy just happened run some errands for their business to keep on earning, all by himself, Nevertheless, she is still there to keep an eye on her before Josephine could arrive on time

They waited for a few hours when a figure came running towards them, it was Josephine finally arrived

"I am so sorry if I'm late Coraline!" She panicked, holding a few bags and blankets for Mrs. Lovat, Coraline couldn't help but to let out a small chuckle from her friend's flustered behaviour

"It's fine Josie..it doesn't really matter anyway and besides Mrs. Lovat had already two assistants to taken care of her" proudly pointing to herself, Mrs. Lovat raised her brow, joining their conversation

"Two lovely assistants..." she added making the women to giggle at her reply leaving the tension a while ago, Josephine nodded her head

"Alright! You don't have to worry anything right now Coraline, Mrs. Lovat will surely be in good hands..." assuring her with a grin, Josephine went straight to her hand, reaching her phone inside, she instantly frowned

Coralined knitted her brows in confusion "what? What is it?" Seeing Josephine sigh in worry

"I forgot to bring my phone...great, I can't call Marie back at the house..."

Oh right, Josephine works alone too...

With a two child to feed and taken care of...

A very responsible mother indeed she was

Coraline smiled in amazement as she stared at her hurridly placing the bag on the porch, Josephine muttered "I have to go back and grab it..."

She could sense the tiredness from Josephine's voice, the same as those once her own mother would usually do, but still, they continue to strive things in order provide their own family enough and sustainable life, even if they become helpless to theirselves

And maybe....

Someday.....

She would have to felt like what it was to be selfless for others...

Grabbing Josephine's arm to stop her, the frantic woman instantly turned her head to look at Coraline, smiling at her

"I'll get it for you..." Coraline told her

"Are you sure? I mean it would ruin your time to prepare the floral decora-"

There she goes with that excuse again..

Coraline rolled her eyes "-Will be fine...please let me do this for you..."

Josephine sighed in defeat and nodded her head for gratitude before letting Coraline go "Thank you..."

Bending her knees to touch Mrs. Lovat's arm, she whispered "Just....call me if you need anything alright?" She smiled and the old woman appreciately nodded, Coraline gently placed the blanket around to keep the old woman feel warm in some way before leaving the Lovat's residents...

She knew from accepting that favor she would have to go there, inside from that wretched place...again..

But these people do not have the slightest idea about those strange phenomenoms in that palace, they are all innocent and vulnerable...
