"Princess Poehina?"

Both of us froze hearing someone knock on the door.

"Prissy sent me to bring you warm milk."

I was going to answer but suddenly felt a very dark aura emanating from somewhere close to me. When I looked down I saw Angie's eyes turning a glowing red. She seemed so angry that her eyes started emanating a weird smoke and I had to quickly save the day:

"Thank you so much but I am not very thirsty tonight.

-I am sorry princess but Prissy told me to insist.

-But..."

I didn't have time to say anything when I heard the door open. When the maid walked in she really did seem uncomfortable. It seemed she was just following orders and didn't want to get reprimanded for going back with the milk. She walked towards the little table not looking up once and even sighed when she put the tray down.

"Please make sure to drink it while..."

As she straightened up she noticed the position Angie and I were in and the maids' face went completely red:

"I... Oh, I..."

I thought she would faint and smiled awkwardly:

"Thank you for the milk. We will make sure to drink it.

-Y-you're welcome."

The maid started leaving but suddenly turned back:

"It may not be my place but... Princesses shouldn't lay on each other this way.

-We always sleep like this. And it won't change.

-I-I see. But if Miss Prissy sees, she..."

I felt Angie's hands tighten around my waist and scared for the maids' life I quickly straightened up.

"I don't care if she sees. Thank you again for the milk. You can go now."

I had to make her leave quickly but Angie didn't seem to like me changing positions and clung to me even more. I had no idea what color her eyes were now but one thing was for sure: the maid seemed terrified of whatever face Angie was making. I could hear her knees shaking from here and despite me having told her that she could leave, she couldn't move an inch. She seemed hypnotized by Angie and I quickly covered her face with my arms. This finally helped the maid get back to her senses and I smiled:

"You can go now. Have a good night."

The maid quickly nodded and almost ran away. Once the door closed I finally let go of Angie's face and seeing her furrowed brows made me smile:

"She killed the mood didn't she?

-It's her that I'm going to kill."

I couldn't help laughing and kissed Angie's brows:

"She didn't mean anything bad. She was just doing her job."

Angie wasn't calming down and I could feel her pulling me slowly closer to her body.

"I was finally..."

Angie started staring at my neck dangerously and for a second I thought she would bite me but she just grazed my skin with her finger:

"The moment is gone isn't it?

-Yeah but that's okay. We have all the time in the world."

Angie's eyes turned even redder:

"I hope she's a fast runner."

I frowned. I knew what she was thinking but still asked:

"Why? What do you want to do to her?

-Don't worry, I won't kill her.

-That's not very reassuring coming from you."

Angie's eyes suddenly turned yellow:

"Don't be scared of me, Anita. I would never hurt you but she...

-Calm down. I am not scared of you, don't worry. But you can't torture her either. She really didn't do anything wrong. And seeing how scared she looked I would bet that she quit as soon as she walked out the room.

-I hope so. She should at least change continents.

-Angie... Promise me that you won't hurt her."

I was waiting for Angie to answer but she stayed silent for long seconds before sighing:

"Okay. But I am going to use magic on the door. No one will be able to find it anymore."

I started laughing seeing how cute her pouting face was. Of course I couldn't tell her that she was being cute because she wouldn't like it.

"Are you that impatient?

-You have no idea.

-I told you, we have all the time in the world now. Don't worry."

I had said that but for some reason after that night, we didn't have one second of peace. Maybe it was because of the state of my neck the next day. In fact when I woke up and went to the bathroom the next morning, I froze seeing myself in the mirror.

"What the hell is that?"

Angie immediately rushed to the bathroom, worried. She grabbed my shoulders with yellow eyes and looked me up and down:

"What's wrong?"

I immediately pointed at my neck:

"How did it become like this?"

Angie looked at my red skin and her eyes suddenly turned golden. This was a dangerous color and I quickly took a step back. Knowing that this wasn't the reaction she should be having, Angie quickly looked away:

"I am so sorry. I didn't know that it would become like this.

-I can see your eyes turning golden. You are not sorry at all."

Angie turned her face away but she couldn't hide her smile:

"I really am sorry."

I rolled my eyes:

"Don't lie. You like it."

Angie dropped the act and turned back to me before caressing my neck with an empty gaze.

"Pretty."

She suddenly snapped out of it and frowned:

"Do you not like it? If you don't I won't do it ever again. I am so sorry."

I smiled:

"I never said I didn't like it. But maybe you shouldn't leave marks where people could see. This must be why the maid acted so weird yesterday."

Angie's smile widened for some reason.

"Not where people can see. Okay.

-And you can't pull their eyes out."

Her smile immediately vanished.

"And you can't make them blind using another method."

She sighed:

"Why are you so smart?

-Why are you so scary?"

Angie frowned but seeing me smile made her relax. Just to make sure I had to add:

"And you can't hurt the maid from yesterday.

-I don't want to hurt her anymore."

I frowned.

"Okay... Why is that?

-So she can talk about what she saw.

-You are so weird sometimes..."
