"Are you certain she's asleep?"
Mara lowered her head towards the head witch.
"Yes," Mara said. "She fell asleep about… two hours ago. I checked and she was still sleeping about thirty minutes ago."
The head witch Nessa snorted. "You may go now."
"But— " Mara frowned. "The King told me to stay here and— "
"This is the Priestess's words. It's either that or— "
"Alright. Alright. I will leave," Mara looked like she was about to cry. "I'm leaving."
Seeing her disappear from the dark, Nessa snorted. "Coward."
"What are we going to do now?" The woman next to Nessa asked.
"What else? Once they are done, we are going to ask her to follow us." And it didn't take too long for them to receive the signal. The casting has been done! Without knocking, they walk inside Ava's room and immediately found her on the bed, sleeping soundly.
"Hey…" Nessa tried to shake Ava's shoulder. "Hey!"
