HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINES

(GET BACK THROUGH THEM)

After their dinner, Vendia then went back to her room to get changed into comfortable clothes for the fiesta later in the town.

Knock

"Who is it?" Vendia asks inside her room.

"Is Mary, Miss," Mary responded as Vendia then went to open the door.

"Mary, you're done washing the dishes already?" Vendia asks her as she invites Mary inside her room, and they sit on the couch.

"Yes, Miss and this, the madam and his excellency already receive your letter for them," Mary mentions, lending a white envelope paper to Vendia with an engrave sealed from Marquis family.

"Oh, they reply already?" Vendia responds,

"Yes, Miss,"

"That was fast," Vendia mumbles, felt glad as she then reads what's inside the letter.

Dear, our beautiful daughter

Your father and I already receive your letter. I hope you are doing fine and well there, you've been away for only two days, but I already miss you. Don't worry about us. We are doing fine. But I want to remind you that the banquet party for the late queen is already one-half away.

If it's possible, can you finish your transactions within one day? Please, I want you to get back home fast, so you can still prepare for the queen banquet. I hope you are doing fine and well, see you soon, sweetheart. We love you.

From

Mother and Father.

"Haaa," Vendia deep sigh,

"I almost forgot about that," She added,

"Forgot about, Miss?" Mary asks, confused.

"A banquet party for the prince Mother," Vendia answer,

"Oh, the banquet death anniversary?" Mary mentions, and Vendia nods stress.

"Is it after tomorrow?" Mary added, and Vendia nods again,

"Yes, and I need to hurry to do what I came here to do fast tomorrow and get back home after," Vendia answer,

"But, we both so many goods, Miss. What should we do with those?" Mary asks, concern.

"I guess we are going to bring them back home with us tomorrow," Vendia answer,

"What? That many?"

"Yes, that's going to be my souvenir from this trip," Vendia mentions,

"Oh," Mary nods, understand what she means.

"Are you done changing?" Vendia asks, changing the topic.

"Change?"

"Yes, we are going to town tonight to attend their fiesta, remember?" Vendia mentions and Mary stood up from the couch, surprised.

"Right! I almost forgot, wait for me, Miss. I'll be right back," Mary respond as she rash out from the room to get changed into comfortable clothes. Vendia giggled upon seeing Mary got panic and run out fast to her room.

"Aigo..." She mumbles, walking over to the standing mirror inside her room, and looks at herself.

'Oh, she is the real beauty as always,' she thought, admiring herself from the mirror.

"Miss!" Mary shout as she gets bargain the room panting, from running fast.

"Mary! Jesus Christ!" Vendia high peach replies as she gets startled and shocked by Mary's arrival inside her room.

"Oy, why are you panting like a dog, Mary?" Sir Aloit asks as he arrived inside Vendia room wearing a knight uniform.

"Vendia, why are you have that kind of expression. Did you see a ghost?" Sir Aloit added, asking Vendia for her startled expression.

"Mary... I told you not to do that, geez! I almost collapsed from shocks," Vendia mentions, not answering Sir Aloit question as she still trembled from shock.

"I'm sorry, Miss," Mary apologies,

"I-is fine," Vendia answers, but she looks uncomfortable.

"Why are you still here? You are not from here. Go back! If you stay, the world inside will crumble and turned to ruin," An aged woman ring inside her mind.

'Who?' Vendia asks inside her thought.

"GO BACK!" An aged woman shout inside her mind.

'Ugh! Stop! Why are you doing this to me?' Vendia thought,

"Because you are not from here. GO BACK!" An aged woman replied, shouting.

'Stop! What is happening? I can't breathe well. STOP! I don't want to leave! What are you doing to me!' Yerre thought, shouting, having a hard time comprehending the situation.

"Oy, Vendia? Hey, hey, come here," Sir Aloit went over to Vendia fast as he saw her trembled a lot and turning pale. Sir Aloit embraces her and lets out a comforting word.

"There, there, is fine, is fine," Sir Aloit added as he keeps repeating it one by one to calm her down.

"Tell your goodbyes," An aged woman demands to Yerre.

"STOP! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Vendia shouts in fear as she trembles more while Sir Aloit hugs her. Sir Aloit got shocked.

"Sir Aloit, what is going on? What is happening to Miss Vendia?" Mary asks, worried.

"Shh... she is having an anxiety attack," Sir Aloit answer,

"What? Will she be all right?" Mary asks, anxious.

"Calm down, Mary, don't panic. She will be all right within thirty minutes. Get some drinking water downstairs for her," Sir Aloit answers, with demands as he keeps embracing and caressing Vendia back to calm her down.

"Okay," Mary answers fast with a nod, then leaves the room to get some water.

"STOP! Stop it! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Vendia starts to breakdown as she pushes Sir Aloit away from her, but Sir Aloit holds her tight.

"Vendia is me. Uncle Aloit is here. You will be all right. I am here to protect you," Sir Aloit let out comforting words, but Vendia can't hear him for the voice inside her head interrupting her.

"Go back, leave the dead body alone... if you stay here. You will corrupt the world inside the book. Go back now!" An aged woman mentions, and Yerre soul starting to fade from Vendia body.

'No! Not yet! My body from my present life already dies. I can't go back. If I do, then my soul will only wander and be lost! NO! NO! If I leave alda, she will. Please let me live here for long, please!'

"No! Go back!" An aged woman answers.

"No! Sir Aloit, hold me tight, please. Sir Aloit, she is taking my soul away, please, help me!" Yerre shouts as she cries, insisting on leaving Vendia's body.

"Vendia? No one is going to take you away. I am here to protect you. Calm down, I am here," Sir Aloit answers as he hugs her tighter.

'No, I can feel my soul is fading,'

"No! Sir Aloit. I-I can see my soul is fading... I'm scared. I don't want to leave you all. Help me, help me please!" Yerre begs through her sobs and trembling body as she holds Sir Aloit tight.

'Please, someone help me,' Yerre call for help as her anxiety awakened inside her.

Ever since five years old, Yerre is already like this when someone surprised her without her knowing her anxiety triggered for one minute, and Alda is the only person who can calm her down every time that happened.

"Vendia? Look at me..." Sir Aloit call out for her, but she didn't respond. Sir Aloit got worried a little when he saw Vendia still trembling a lot into his arms, but this time she shed tears.

"I am scared. I can't breathe well," Vendia trembled voice.

"Shh... don't think so much, just breath. Hear my heartbeat and breath, okay? I am here, uncle is here," Sir Aloit responds to her, embracing her more close to him as he continues caressing her back.

"NO! If you insist then," The old woman's voice reply.

'STOP! Stop it, please!' Yerre shouts her thought.

"NO! WAIT! Please!" Yerre shouts in panic.

"Yerre, let go. Don't worry. I am here to help you. Don't be afraid," A warm voice of a woman ring inside her head.

'How can I trust you!' Yerre answer inside her thought.

"Are you crazy? I am lending my hand at you right now," A warm woman's voice replied as she felt unbelievable and deep sighs.

'But...'

"Okay, I'm Vendia, now come on. Let go before that old crazy woman snatch and lock your soul away. HURRY!"

'Vendia?' Yerre asks, surprised.

"Yes, now hurry," Vendia demands.

'Okay. I trust you,' Yerre answer without hesitation.

"NO! Stop! Why are you helping her!" An aged woman asks in anger.

"I do not allow you to take her life. GO AWAY!" Vendia replied, mad as Yerre let go, and her soul faded from Vendia's body. Then without warning, Vendia's body collapsed into Sir Aloit's arms, and he panics.

"Mary! MARY!" Sir Aloit shout for help as Mary run fast upstairs, dropping down the glass cup she was holding with water inside to the ground.

"Sir Aloit? What is goin-Miss!" Mary runs through them, anxious.

"Hurry! Call a physician fast!" Sir Aloit fast demand, but Mary is still shocked and can't seem to leave Vendia.

"Miss, wake up! *sobs*,"

"Mary! HURRY!" Sir Aloit shout to her, wearing an anxious expression. Mary then got back to her senses and nod as she runs out fast to get a physician to the town together with the coachman who drives the carriage away to the mansion.

"Vendia?" Sir Aloit put her back to her bed and check her pulse. Vendia is still breathing, but she is sweating, and all her body is pale and cold.

"How come your parents did not mention me about you having anxiety?"

'THIS IS FRUSTRATING! URGH!' Sir Aloit punch the left side of the bed from frustration,

"Hang in there, don't you ever stop breathing, you hear me?" Sir Aloit demands to her as he tried not to shed tears in front of her.
