Patty Liu - Silent Reflections

Upstairs in the inn Melody fumbled around in her knapsack until she found her little spell book. All her ideas and her spells hadn't worked and she was getting frantic. She took off her fake glasses and rubbed her eyes. Her determination to destroy the woman who killed her mother was tiring her. She flipped through the pages of her little spell book and noticed the previous spell she had used on Wolf with the tea.

"Oh cripes!" she exclaimed. With her fake eyeglasses off, she could make out the spell clearer. It seemed she had forgotten a few ingredients and the spell had taken a complete and total opposite affect. "No wonder it didn't work. But now Wolf is going to fall in love with ME!" Melody slammed her book shut and hid it back in her knapsack. "Now what am I going to do? Nothing is coming out right for me!"

She flung herself onto her bed and put the pillow over her head. But she suddenly raised her head up and thought quickly. "Perhaps I can work this to my advantage. If I can make Virginia extremely jealous, she will leave Wolf and I will have my chance to make her suffer. Damn that woman!"

Melody pounded into her pillow.
