Next day...

1:00 pm..

at Leah's family backery shop...

Leah windward

*keeps on looking at the wooden clock anxious, hanging on the wall*

Leah windward

*in mind* he must be just scaring me..he won't really kill me if I don't get him what he wants..

Leah windward

*in mind* afterall..how can he expect me to go alone in cursed forest...

Leah windward

*in mind* I'll do all his housework....but I'll never go to such a scary forest..

suddenly the door chime rings.. indicating someone entering in...

Ajax Ravencrest

Hey cupcake..

Leah windward

Why are you here?

Ajax Ravencrest

I thought this was backery..and people come here to buy baked food..

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he leans on the counter, smiling at Leah*

Leah windward

We both know you only visit to bother me...

Ajax Ravencrest

Well you are wrong this time....

Ajax Ravencrest

I'll like to buy few cupcakes along with baked cookies...

Leah windward

Are you sure you aren't just pretending to buy as always?

Ajax Ravencrest

Not this time...*as he gives her money *

Leah windward

Fine...*as she takes the money and turns to pack the things he ordered*

Ajax Ravencrest

So... how's your health today?

Leah windward

I am surprised you are checking on me..

Leah windward

*as she fills the cupcakes in the packet*

Ajax Ravencrest

Well you fainted on me last night...and I obviously don't want people to gossip that lord Ajax is a assh*le who doesn't care about women...

Leah windward

Aren't you one? *as she gives him unamused smile*

Ajax Ravencrest

very funny...

Leah windward

well...did you see Lucas today?

Ajax Ravencrest

.....

Ajax Ravencrest

No..I mean yes..he is at his house... gambling with his other friends as he always does..

Leah windward

Oh...*as she feels abit hurt*

Ajax Ravencrest

.... I am guessing...he didn't visit you even once this morning or last night..

Ajax Ravencrest

I am sure he heard about you fainting...his housemaid was at the fair last night..she clearly saw us..

Leah windward

He must have been busy...*as she tries to fake a smile*

Ajax Ravencrest

.....

Ajax Ravencrest

Com'on cupcake...you can do much better that this...

Ajax Ravencrest

He clearly isn't one for you...there are many other men that can treat you much better than he does...

Leah windward

I love him Ajax-

Ajax Ravencrest

And that's the problem...you are blinded with it-

Ajax Ravencrest

Leah...*as his eyes gets concerned at the same time alert, as he leans abit more on the counter , his hand grabbing the handkerchief from his pocket extending towards her*

Ajax Ravencrest

you are bleeding..

Leah windward

*confused* what?

Ajax Ravencrest

You nose..it's bleeding!

Leah windward

* touches her nose only to see her fingers getting wet with the blood*

Leah windward

*her eyes widen* hell no...

As a familiar voice sounds in her head..

Albus: ..tik tok...tik tok..you are running out of time... little bird~

Leah windward

*her breathing gets heavier as she feels frightened*

Ajax Ravencrest

Are you ok? Leah?!

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he offers her his handkerchief*

Leah windward

*takes it as she tries to stop the blood from her nose, keeping the cloth tight at her nose*

Leah windward

I...I am fine..it's just a bad cold..

Ajax Ravencrest

That doesn't look like a bad cold-

Leah windward

Well you need to leave! *as she gives him the package of cupcakes and cookies*

Leah windward

I am going to close the bakery...I need rest..

Ajax Ravencrest

Alright...but-

Leah windward

Please no more questions Ajax..my head's spining.. please leave..

Ajax Ravencrest

*concerned* alright...take care..

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he takes the package and turns around to leave*

Leah windward

*glance at the clock again*

Leah windward

*in mind* he wasn't trying to scare me...he will really kill me if I don't do as he want!

Leah windward

*in mind* I have no choice..but work for him...
