Ylle and Freya settled in fast. The door was now fixed, leaving no trace of what happened the previous night. Scott had left after the girls arrived, promising to come back often to check up on them. It was news to Ylle. The sound of her friend being invaded and hit was a bitter pill to swallow. But surprisingly, she was the only shocked one.
"I don't know about you guys, but I think it's better if River moves to another place. Whoever was here last night might come again. He already knows where you live.", Ylle spilled her concern,
Freya and River were unusually calm. Freya applied polish on her perfect nails and River surfed the internet relaxingly on the sofa. It was a frustration for Ylle. Why were they not paying attention to the danger?
"Guys, come on. Show some fear.",
"Okay, chill, babe.", Freya interrupted, "Nobody was invaded last night.",
"Am I missing something?",
"Can you keep a secret?", River asked her.
"I just want to know what's going on.", she demanded.
"Alright.", River went to sit beside her, "Praxeda's death wasn't God's plan.",
"Is this about what Queen Minzy said?",
"Yes.",
"But … but how do you know that? What does that have to do with what happened here last night?",
"What do you mean 'how does she know that?", Freya asked her, "Praxeda dies and Scott's dad wins his most wanted medal. Can you explain that? Scott gets engaged to Ilham Herman because they need to? Do you get it?",
"First of all, I didn't know Scott was engaged. Okay, sounds suspicious. But that's scary. How does one fight a spiritual war with her bare hands? Go to church and pray.",
"I will go to church, Ylle, right after I'm done. ",
Ylle lacked what to say to that, "So what happened last night?",
"A movie.", Freya scoffed,
"You bitches are psychopaths.",
"Better be a psychopath than a sacrificial lamb.", River stated, "I won't stop until I win this war.",
Ylle feared for her, but River was too determined to stop there. Praxeda's death had hit her very hard, but it was the thought that she was neither the first kid nor the last to be mysteriously killed just so the rich could get richer.
