PUT ME DOWN

"I see." Freya heard her mother say, and sighed.

Here it goes. She thought, the emotional blackmail. The woman was a pro at it.

"I see that you have grown wings eh. Is that how you repay your mother after all she had done for you huh? Do you know what I went through for your sake? Do you know how much I fought for you?...." Leonarya was saying, and Freya found herself shaking her head in denial

"Mother, it isn't like…." She was saying, but Leonarya interrupted her sharply.

"...so, what you chose to pay me back with after all these years of my sacrifice, is to have a vampire read my thoughts?" Leonarya inquired, dropping her hand on her chest, faking a tear, shaking her head as if in sorrow.

"No, mother. I'm sorry."

"I'm not a vampire, woman!"

Freya and Yodah said respectively, at the same time that Aiden scoffed. "Fake."

"You are not a vampire? So, what are you?" Leonarya asked, furrowing her eyebrows at Yodah.
