If he was on medication, he'd probably blame what he saw on the influence of the drugs. But no, just like the day he saw that figure in burnt haven den, he saw this one too.

Clear and real. Rune's twin sister had jumped off of Old Mrs. John's tall window while a cluster of cats climbed up the window, each cat making way for her.

She was walking away looking less concerned or disturbed by the happening.

A quick question. What was Rune's twin sister doing on the window of the Old Mrs. John so late in the night?

How was she able to jump such a height effortlessly?

Why was she not affected by the way the cats were swarming into the window of Old Mrs. John and lastly, where the hell did those damn cats come from?!

He knew, he just knew something was off and fishy with those new burnt haven owners. He knew he should be suspicious of them.

They even got him into a fresh trouble with Old Mrs. John's family now. With what he saw tonight, he was sure they had a mischievous plan up their sleeve but he did see Old Mrs. John give them the fried chicken and also watch the young man amongst them who ate it and convulsed after.

This was all getting and messing with his head right now. He hoped to hell he hadn't gone ahead and make a mistake by testifying in their favor in front of Sheriff Blair.

But logically, he did not testify just to save them or help them. He only said exactly what he saw and went ahead to make a suggestion about the CCTV camera when he heard he could be in danger if the investigation comes out in support of Old Mrs. John's family.

Damn logic, what he witnessed now was sending shivers down to his spine. There was no way in hell he would sleep alone in this room tonight.

He heard a sound which made him jump startled. He almost fell off of his wheelchair. However, he had to take two deep breaths to settle his insides when he saw the object of the sound.

" Still up huh?" Kate's tiny voice came irking into his ears.

There was something about that girl. She had a small frame figure and her tiny voice made her seem even more smaller.

Why would she even dare to come opening the door of his room?

Damn him for not locking it when he entered. " How is that any of your business" he barked at her. " Why are you still awake though" he drew his lower lips up while his face curled into a frown.

" Why are you?" came Kate's smirk and question which sent the last ounce of patience he had left in away.

He turned to shut his window door and when he turned, she was gone.

" What a rat" he mumbled to himself as he wheeled himself out of his room to go sleep with Duncan in the sitting room.

If he slept alone, he would have nightmares of the horrible sight he just witnessed for sure.

He did not want to have negative thoughts about Rune and her family all because of... Rune.

There was something about her diversity which enchants him. It was too early to give the feeling a name though. But he knew quiet well what happens when a man finds someone he likes.

He thinks of her often and wouldn't want to get on her bad side. The way he was feeling right now.

Again, he stumbled on the the mud trailing the floor of the sitting room into God knows where in the house.

Out of curiosity, he followed the trail just to know the source of the mud.

It was leading into the corridor where the toilet was and when he was just about to place his gaze upon the carrier of the mud, Kate barged the toilet door open from inside.

With a magnificent gasp which made her mouth separate wide apart, " What are you doing?!" she cried.

Gracious wait, she wasn't about to mistake his presence in the toilet door for what he was thinking now, was she?

" You pervert, won't you talk?!" she further cried and he felt his throat run dry.

She did, he'd be a fool to think any less of Kate.

She thought he was peeping while she did her business in the toilet? Would he even be able to stand the disgusting stench of her poop at all? Mere standing by the door, his nose was already twitching in disgust and she was assuming he has been there for long?

Hell no, not him!

" It's not what you think" he tried to explain but trust Kate, she would have none of it.

She wrapped her hands tightly over the towel that was draped over her slim body. " Holy Father, you've seen it all, haven you?!" she hollered.

What a drama queen!

" Seen what? Why would you strip yourself naked just to poo?" he frowned.

He saw how much her eyes widened. " So, you've stayed long enough to the point where I stripped naked?!"

Hell - she was misinterpreting all his words. If all girls were like this, maybe him not getting much attention from them was a blessing then.

" No, of course not! I mean you have the towel over your body now. It's obvious you stripped naked!" he fired frustratingly. He was finding it hard to breath.

He hated it when he gets in trouble with women. All it does was to remind him of the reason he got expelled from college.

Kate ran in the most dramatic way he had ever seen all his life away from his presence. " I can't believe I am made to live with such a pervert" she bellowed as her small body disappeared into the guest room.

Darn- women were a bundle of work!

" How did you get to poo so fast when you only left my room not even up to a minute ago?" he yelled behind her as she ran off but he wasn't sure she would hear him as she already banged the guest door hard enough for him to hear she was locking it.

Completely, he forgot about the reason why he even came to the toilet door at all and went into the sitting room to take the next sofa, the only one Duncan had spared and have his beauty sleep.

It was no beauty sleep when his mind kept on replaying the events of the day.

He was picturing how miserable he would live after Zakariah had sent him away from the house for causing too much trouble when the court finally declares him guilty for giving false testimony because from what he had seen tonight, the burnt haven owners were not innocent.

Maybe they would bribe the judge because he was sure they had lots of money and get his bail then allow him live with them and then, he would be able to see Rune all day, every day.

But wait!

The burnt haven owners from his theory were witches and he wanted no damn relation with witches.

What if, just what if he got closer to them and gathers evidence enough to prove to the world what they were and also what he saw at burnt haven den the day of his accident since no one seemed to believe him.

A mischievous smile broke across his face. Soon, all of those who called him stupid and a loser would come to believe him when he made such grand discovery and he would become the talk of the town.

Feeling like an upcoming super hero, he brooded further until sleep washed over him.
