Jade Cowell watched Matilda from a distance and noticed that she was unconscious of her surrounding, the girl have been on the counter receiving orders since morning but one could tell that her mind wasn't settled. Well, she would have termed her a nitwit if she didn't notice how strange and abnormal everything and everybody here was.
She still didn't understand why Martha brought the girl to Harvabridge and no one else did. For God's sake the town was the center for the best Mafia drug dealer and besides that had other creepy and strange origin that no one would find pleasing, but she was certain about one thing, the girl must have come for a purpose because Martha DuPont always had reasons.
She finished taking others from seated customers and headed towards the kitchen, when she noticed that Matilda have been dropping money on the floor, instead of the drawer which was actually dragged open.
Gods, the girl must have lost her wits
" What's up baby doll " She asked walking up to her "got some problem in there" she asked
" Nah " Matilda blankly replied " Everything's cool" she added as she dropped another dollar on the floor without looking.
"yh" Jade replied nodding " I can see that"
" But the dollar bills look better in here" She said pointing at the drawer "Not there" she finished pointing at the bills on the floor.
"Oh my gosh" Matilda exclaimed finally coming to her senses as she started picking the money.
" You sure were in a long train ride back there" Jade said while she squatted to help her " You sure everything's fine" she asked again.
" Yh " Matilda replied " It's just one of those days"
"kk, call me if you need help" Jade said before heading for the kitchen.
What is wrong with me
she asked herself.
Beth's creepy episode last night had scared her and she met aunt Martha in her room, only for her to tell her that there is a difference between here and Carlifonia and to watch her steps and decisions. She had gone to her room worried sick and called her mum only to find out that she was on a business trip. No wonder she let her come here, all she wanted was a peaceful and quiet...
Her phone rung disturbing her thoughts.
"You need to stop this madness Magi" was the first statement that flew through the receiver.
" Aunt Martha" She called out to get her attention.
" Oh dear sorry about that" her aunt said " I need you to come out front to the van, there is somewhere I would like to take you"
" Okay" She responded before the line went dead. She instantly called for a replacement before leaving the Cafe.
" Where are we going " She asked when she was already settled.
" To the Beareau" her aunt replied " I've got business to handle and thought to take you"
"You will see" her aunt added, gaining a scoff from aunt Magi.
She studied her other two aunts before coming to the conclusion that aunt Magi didn't like her, looking out the window she enjoyed the view while pretending that Harvabridge wasn't so creepy.
" What do you mean by visitors" Chris thundered
" The Coven leaders are on their way" Lenore replied
" What do you mean by Coven leaders" Chris asked
"The three DuPont sisters" Devin answered in an icy tone. he just couldn't stand Chris Dante and his Hilarious showcase of power, he thought himself the heir of the Beareau and didn't know how damned the seat was to have him as an heir.
Chris gave him a hardened look before asking " You mean to tell me that the DuPont sisters are on their to this Cartel"
"Yes" Lenore answered
That's what we have been trying to explain for the past five minutes
he thought as he internally rolled his eyes, he could tell that Devin felt like strangling the man.
" And what's their cause" Chris asked.
" Something about their lands going barren, the last barley grains which were fresh died last night and they think the Barrels are responsible for it"
" And what does that have to do with us" Chris asked
" Something about support and protection" Devin answered with irritation vivid in his voice.
" Send for the guards to be in position" Chris ordered " We don't know what they might bring with them"
" They come unarmed" Lenore stated
" Never trust sorcerers" Chris said before taking his leave.
Lenore knew it, he knew that the damned man was referring to him but he kept shut just like he always did.
" Send for the guards " he told the nearest messenger before walking towards Devin.
" There is a problem " he said
