Chapter 24

My mind goes blank.

How is she here already? Surely she would still be having a bath.

My bath time is very strict in routine, they have to be because I’m sensitive to even the smallest of outside influences.

“[Silence].”

A snap suddenly pulls me out of my brief mental panic. I watch as Rosanna is suddenly rendered unable to utter a word. She looks as though she’s screaming with all her might, but no voice comes out. She seems to notice too as she reaches for her throat, and then looks up to glare at us, stomping her foot angrily.

I turn to Phoenix who looks rather smug. He turns to look at me before shrugging his shoulder. “Silencing spell. I used to use it on her all the time.” he admits.

Okay, what?

I turn to Rosanna who looks as though she’s shaking in anger.

“... Can you have the doors close? And if possible could you make it so that people outside wouldn’t be capable of hearing us?” I ask Phoenix.
