Witch of a mother

Waking up the next morning, they could see Owen still standing on that same spot with his eyes open. He doesn't seems to have move from that spot as he was only looking at the entrance of the Bucadox clan and would sometimes turned to look at the other side.

"Good morning mom" said Owen and Beatrice as they support her to stand up.

"Morning" greeted Bethany as she managed to stand properly. "We have to leave now".

"I know mom, let's go to our room and take anything of value before leaving" said Owen.

"No leave it, leave everything, we have to leave now" said Bethany.

"Mom, it's morning already, no one will attack us, we will leave but just listen to me for now" said Owen.

After persuading Bethany, they all walked to their room one at a time, before picking their things and walking out of the mansion.

Bethany on reaching her room, she look at everything inside, before walking to pick just one item before leaving.

"Mom, is it just that sword you are taking with you?" Asked Owen.

"Yes, let's go" was the short reply from Bethany before they left the mansion.

Luckily for them, their carriage wasn't destroyed last night when being attacked, so they all got inside before Owen drove off.

Seeing the type of condition their mother was in, Owen couldn't take it anymore as he drive the carriage towards a healer resident.

On getting inside the healer resident, he stop the carriage and opened the door so they can come out.

"Owen, what are we doing here, I told you to drive out of this kingdom" said Bethany weakly as she was losing all her strength.

"I know mom, but you are not okay, we have to treat you first" said Owen.

"Owen listen to me, we have to leave now" replied Bethany.

"No" said Owen with anger clearly visible on his face. "You are getting treated and that's final".

"You are not welcome here" said the healer as she has already been called that some people were asking of her.

"What do you mean by we are not welcome here?" Asked Owen in anger.

"It means you are not welcome" was the reply from the healer.

"If it's about money, then you don't have to worry about that, I have money, I will pay" said Owen but the healer still refuse even with him bringing out a lot of money.

"Let's go Owen, she won't treat me" said Bethany as she tugged on his shirt.

"Listen to your witch of a mother and leave my resident" shouted the woman.

On hearing this words, Owen was about drawing out his sword, but his mother hold on him, prevented him from doing so.

He turned back and gently hold Bethany back inside with Beatrice beside her, before climbing into the horse and riding away.

Reaching another healer resident, the same thing was what happened as they refused to treat her.

Gritting his teeth, he walked back into the horse and ride off, these same thing happened for more than four times with no one agreeing to help.

"Owen, we have to leave and go to the other kingdom" said Bethany.

"We can't just stay and do nothing for three days until we reach the other kingdom" said Owen in anger as he stop in another healer resident.

This time around, the moment the healer refuse to help, Owen draw out his sword and point it towards the neck of the healer as he hold him captive.

"Either you agree to heal her or I kill you" said Owen in anger as the blade was slightly cutting the neck of the healer.

"Okay, okay, I will, just please spare my life" said the man as he quickly gestures his apprentices to take her inside so he can attend to her.

Owen and Beatrice were currently inside the room as the man was attending to their mother. No way will they put their mother safety in the hands of a complete stranger that wasn't even willing to help them from the start.

So throughout the whole treatment, Owen was paying attention to his every moment so he won't do anything that's out of order.

"I'm through, we just have to give her some time to wake up as I gave her some herbs to kill the pain and make her fall asleep for some hours" said the man as he clean the blood in his hand with water. 'I did all I could, it's all up to her will to live, because the injury was infected as it wasn't taken care of in time, please do wake up, I don't want to die' said the man inwardly.

Looking at the sleeping face of their mother, tears began rolling down from their eyes as they were feeling an unmeasurable pain seeing her like that.

"You will be staying here until she wakes up, prepared everything that she will need to take so the injuries can heal" said Owen to the man who was about going out.

"I understood" said the man as he quickly start doing all that was instructed to him.

Ever since seeing his life flash before his eyes, he has become more cooperative as he doesn't want to test what would happen to him if he doesn't comply.

Owen turning to look at his sister, he could see she was breaking down by the condition of their mother, he walked towards her before holding her so as to calm her down.

"She's going to be okay Beatrice, mom wouldn't leave us, I assure you" said Owen as he hug her.

"I should have listen to her words Owen, I'm sorry" said Bethany as she continue crying.

Knowing full well what Beatrice was talking about, Owen shake his head as he could see that his sister was still talking about what happened yesterday.

"It's not your fault, mom have forgiven you for that, you don't have to hold it against yourself, free yourself from any guilt Beatrice" said Owen.
