CHAPTER II

THE WHOLE SITUATION WAS LIKE A FEVER DREAM

Dahlia didn't know what was happening. She wanted to believe that everything was just a dream and she'll wake up with Dina shouting at her like a mad man. She wanted to pinch herself to make sure this whole mistress thing was a dream and a horrible one.

With the eyes of students boring holes on her. She wanted to dig up a hole and bury herself. It was overwhelming. Dahlia can hear the voices coming back, haunting her like before.

Degrading her and blaming everything on her. She wanted to hurl up and puke out the food she ate earlier.

Leona, one of the prefects can sense her panic and it was getting worse. With Crowley doing nothing to calm her down and if she was the so- called mistress, she'll be tearing the whole school down in seconds. Before he could approach the girl, something happened.

The monster that was tied with Crowley's whip broke free and started a rampage. Leona felt Dahlia's panic disperse before she tackled down Kalim down so, he won't burn up.

Dahlia checked if he was fine before looking at the monster. "This is why I hate raccoons," she grumbled ripping some fabric from the robe she was wearing. She can hear some gasps in the crowd but she couldn't care less. She wrapped the fabric around her hand like how she usually does during her training before tying her hair up. "I'm going to beat the shit out of this runt," she glared at the monster before running headfirst to the fire.

The students panicked not knowing what to do. They didn't know what to do since, they didn't want to get hurt but, the proclaimed heiress just went recklessly to the fire. The dorm leaders and the headmaster were speechless at her decision before they froze up feeling a suffocating atmosphere. The blue flames around the room started to die down. In the middle of the fire was Dahlia holding Grim by his collar and half of her robe burned with the ends of her clothes being burnt.

The most noticeable change was her eyes were glowing brighter than before. There were golden markings growing up to her cheeks and hands. Her legs were covered with the same golden markings. Crowley's eyes widen seeing a memory flashes before his eyes. It was the same time he witnessed the miracle blooming and the two Casitas form.

'Only if you could see this now, Señorita. You'll be proud,'
