"Tick Tock, Odessa Pierce. Five days left..."
I stared at the message like it was a bad omen.
For fucks sake, it IS a bad omen!
My face heated up with anger as I attempted to respond to the anonymous message.
However, my fingers lingered on the buttons for far too long as I thought hard about what to say. My face dripped with cold sweat, causing me to groan with frustration.
"Argh! What do I even say?" I lamented, turning away from the balcony and stepping back into my room.
Just then, Sirena offered something in my mind. 'Tell them that you'll curse them and their bloodline if they do anything stupid.'
What the heck?
I rolled my eyes before I responded to her. "They're literally threatening to expose my secret and you want me to add the fact that I can use magic? Also, dabbling with curses has consequences for a newbie like me."
I sighed heavily, parting aside some strands of my hair before I focused on sending a response to the anonymous message.
