15 Exposed?

The time passed quickly and soon the night fall. Sun has set and the moon was up in the sky, spreading soothing moonlight all over the world.

Annabelle and aunty Martha spent their time in the garden till the time of dinner, Talking about some random stuff like two friends. Annabelle paid much attention to aunty Martha's each word so that she can get more information about this place.

She found out about the name of the city in which she was currently in. It's called New York and it was Very famous and modern city. And about Lucian too, that he was the richest businessman in the city, he owns Smith enterprise, which was very big conglomerate and it was spread across the world in different industries.

In between she was also careful not to exposed ,anything that might look suspicious.

When the maid informed them that dinner was ready, they both moved back inside. Martha led her towards the dining hall. As Martha was a servant she didn't sit, only Annabelle took her previous sit that she had used in the afternoon.

After that maids came and serve the food on the table. All the dishes were of one serving, so Annabelle thought that maybe no one will join her She wondered that may be the work must be very much important that's why Lucian left in a hurry and still not him yet.

Well, it was good too. The man looks very sharp, and it's better for her to spend less time with him. So, that she won't be caught and her secret can be remain as it is. Thought Annabelle.

But unknown to her the secret she was hoping to hid was already on the brink of coming out. Lucian has his suspicions From the day she wake up. And it was just matter of time, he will uncover the whole matter.

She brushed those thoughts aside and focus on her food.

Food was very delicious, Anna ate till her heart content. When she finished eating almost all the dishes were gone.

Well for now Anna complete her meal in silence. And after that retire to her room.

She also has something very important to do. She was very eager to check something, after she realized that she is now in someone else's body. She wanted to check that if she still can access her witch powers or not. But in the hospital she didn't get any chance as someone was with her always.

And now that she is alone she needs to try it. Her future plans depend on the fact that can she perform any rituals and spell. It was very important because without her magic she will be nothing more than a common human. And then it would be hard for her to take her revenge.

Annabelle entered her room and check that there was no one in the corridor. When she didn't see anyone, she closed the door and lock it. She moved towards the balcony. There were many small flower plants in the balcony. She chose the smallest one and bring it inside the room, and put that plant on the table.

After checking again that no one was looking at her Anna take a sit on the sofa. She closed her eyes and calm down her rapidly beating heart. After calming down she gathered all her attention on her right hand and started to chant the spell that she has learnt before.

The spell was not very high power. It was very common and basic spell, that cannot harm anyone.

She completed the spell once but nothing happened.

Anna opened her eyes, and there was some disappointment in them. But she gathered herself again in, and repeat the process. And as her lips continued to murmur the spell again and again, a blue light emerged from her lifted hand. Soon the plant in the pot started to grow.

Soon after in just matter of seconds, the flowers bud appeared on the plant, and then a beautiful red rose bloom from it.

Anna opened her eyes and take a look at the flower. A beautiful smile as pretty as that red rose bloomed on her face.

It took her some time to cast a spell because, her Soul was still copping up with the new body. But her witcher abilities were still there. That was something Anna was grateful and happy about. And now that she now that she is the choose one to become the queen, she would explore her abilities more.

As her queen mother said before. It was long ago, when she was still very small and it was her first day of learning how to cast a spell.

" Always remember, it isn't the spell, but the strength of your soul that will help this flower to bloom. Spell is just an outer supporter."

And yes she was absolutely right. The magic is part of your soul. The body is just a medium.

After that Anna stand up and tried to move the chair. It took a little work but she succeeded. She starts from moving small things to big things.

In just matter of time the whole room was upside down. Nothing was in its original place. But Anna was too happy to noticed that.

But soon she realized what she has done in a spurt of her excitement.

But the main problem arise when someone knocked on the door. Annabelle's whole body froze in an instant as soon as she heard the knocks on the door She stood like a statue in between the messy room.

' What should she do now? Am I going to expose? Her face has become ghastly pale. Annabelle stood there for a minute or so thinking what to do.

Meanwhile outside Faron was waiting for the door to open.

Annabelle needs to take some medicine after her dinner, and he was here to deliver them. Usually aunty Maratha was the one who take care of Annabelle's medicine but Martha was out with her husband to complete her personal work. That's why Faron decided to deliver the medicine himself to the lady.

He waited sometime for door to open but after minutes or so no one open the door. So he knocked on the door again. But there was still no response.

Faron creased his eyebrows. He was wondering if the lady was asleep or in the bathroom. What was taking her so long to open the door.

He knew about the past of 'Hannah' who has tried to suicide in the past. And now that his master wasn't in the mansion, it was his duty to take care that the young lady do nothing sort of foolish.

He knocked on the door again, but louder this time. But the door was still tightly closed.

" Miss Hannah. Are you there?" shouted Faron. But no one replied.

After realizing that something wasn't right, he immediately ran downstairs.

His speed was quite good compare to his age and body.

Soon he reached the cupboard where he put the extra keys of the mansion. He retrieved them immediately and ran towards the stairs again.

All the maids were dumbfounded by looking at their mighty butler running like this. They were wondering if the world has collapsed.

But they don't know that Faron was instructed by Lucian to see that the girl does not do anything foolish. And if anything happened to the girl he won't be able to answer his master.

Soon he reached the bedroom of Annabelle. a He entered the key in keyhole.

And with the click sound the door opened.
