CHAPTER 56: DOUBTING
"Stop pretending. It's time to lower the curtain and take off the mask. No need to act."
Collins said firmly. Then he turned to Sabrina and Devan, who were bewildered, and said:
"Sabrina, Devan. You two have to believe me, I believe we've all been fooled all the time. By a great actor."
"Collins what are you talking about? I believe you misunderstood. I'm not acting, there's no drama or mask here that you're telling me to come down, what's wrong with you Collins?"
Judy now had tears rolling down her cheeks, she cried out in anger. Collins shouted back, his voice as angry as ever.
"So what do you say about the first day you came to my house? How did you know where my brothers and sisters' house was, huh? Besides, knowing that someone was in trouble, you said it was a round girl. How do you know about Sabrina huh? She's eighteen years old. And what witchcraft did you use to make Sabrina look like she's come back from the dead, that day I saw you use some magic on her and she woke up about five minutes later wake up, is that witchcraft?"
Collins's face was as angry as he'd ever seen it, and it turned red. Looks scary! Devan then ran to his brother, stopping.
"Stop it, Collins, that's enough. Stop talking, it'll offend her."
"Insult? Devan how do you think it's insulting? Why don't you trust your brother Devan?"
"I believe but I think this is too much. She's a woman after all, she'll be hurt."
Devan yelled. He couldn't believe why his brother was behaving like that! Sabrina also stood up now, she stared at the other two brothers, her voice choked, she didn't know what to say or how to handle this situation. Then Judy, still not drying her tears, ran upstairs a moment later, carrying a small brown-bound book with a few gems on the front of it emitting a glittering light, wonderful.
She held the book up to Collins, saying:
"Here's the proof. There's no such thing as witchcraft, I told you, Collins. I'm a sorceress. A sorceress."
Then she glanced at Sabrina and continued:
"As far as I know, Sabrina's case at that time was called 'hibernation' or 'falling unconscious', meaning her whole body was motionless and she was lying on the cold snow for too long, so her body exhausted, no longer in spirit, that's why I used this book to do a magic that can be said to wake the girl up, but if I don't know, it will be extremely dangerous to sleep forever."
"Besides, Collins, Devan and Sabrina too. We see, after I woke up, you asked to borrow our kitchen to make herbal medicine for you to drink. And this was the result. "
Judy said through tears, her voice trembling with guilt. Sabrina felt the need to do what she thought was right, she walked over to Judy, put a hand on her shoulder, she felt them shaking and the woman was trying to hold back her emotions.
Sobbing, she looked toward Collins and Devan and said:
I know it's hard to say this, but thanks to her, if it weren't for her to save my life, would I be standing here right now? Also her herbal medicine was very good, I'm healthy. It's all thanks to it until now."
[...]
"Sabrina, I think..."
Collins spoke up, intending to refute her opinion, but she quickly changed the subject.
"I'll go look for Syrena. Until tomorrow morning, I'm not sure."
Then she was about to run away when a force held her back, Devan was holding her hand, he said:
"I can't. I'd rather go now or wait until tomorrow morning. Letting you go at night like this, I won't be able to bear it."
She looked at him, opened her mouth to say something, when Collins standing behind said:
"Then let's go now. Let's leave tomorrow morning I'm..."
Then all four of them ran away, they scattered to look around the house but couldn't find it. After a while, they decided to go to the forest to find her, if the girl wasn't hiding somewhere around the house, it would most likely be in the forest.
But the weather is like this, what is the girl doing in the forest?
Without any further hesitation, they looked at each other and quickly ran into the forest. The forest is dark and strangely cold tonight. Maybe it's because the night has come and the snow is still falling and can't be stopped?
