It was Saturday evening, and everybody was at the dining table for dinner. Christian was not at the table yet, so everyone waited. The whole place was quiet, so Charlotte struck a conversation with Angela. "Hey Angela, how has your stay been in the house? Have you been having a lot of stress lately?" She smiled in a sly way. "Well, I would not say I have been stressed in a bad way. Elizabeth really made the house more lively and enjoyable for me" Angela replied back with a sincere smile. Charlotte turned to Elizabeth "Wow Elizabeth, you really are the joy of this household, aren't you? You make the most of this survival of the fittest house. You are amazing" She said to Elizabeth in a kind voice, but her eyes were saying a different thing. Elizabeth bowed her head without saying anything, and Angela noticed the whole movement. "If you have a problem with me being comfortable in the house, you might as well take it up with me, not with the person who is trying to be kind" Angela said to Charlotte. Charlotte turned to her with raised eyebrows "And you are?" She asked "Just because you've stayed here for a few weeks doesn't make you a part of this family" She said and smirked "Know your place" "Isn't that a very nice way to treat a guest I brought into the house I own" Christian's voice echoed in the area as he walked in and took his seat. His eyes met Angela's before moving to Charlotte.
"That's a lot of nerve you have Charlotte. Your wings must be spreading really wide. Should I cut them off for you?" He asked her and she smiled calmly "godfather, I only wanted to spice things up a little bit. The place was getting a little boring" she said. "That's enough" Bianca said in a dry voice "Bring in the food" She called out to the maids and the maids began to come in with everyone's food. Fifteen maids came in and dropped the plates of food in front of each person as well as the extras in case anyone needed more. The person who dropped Angela's food gave a side look to Bianca and nodded her head. Bianca blinked once to indicate that she understood her. All the maids went back into the kitchen. Everyone began to eat, but Angela said a prayer first before she began. After she prayed, the Holy Spirit began to say to her "No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper". His voice kept repeating in her head in a reassuring manner. She did not understand why it came at that point, but she just smiled and thought 'That's because you are always protecting me. There is no way they would work'. She acknowledged the fact that the Holy Spirit was the only protector she had. They were all eating when Bianca sudddenly groaned. They all looked to her wandering what was going on, but Bianca's groan only grew louder as she held her hand to her chest. She raised her head up and her eyes seemed hazy, as if she was dizzy.
Christian immediately stood up and rushed to her side. He pulled her from the chair as he held her close to his body "What is wrong with you, Bianca?" He asked in a slight panicky voice. Bianca found it hard to say anything, but she gave a small reply "Everything.... Hurts".
Christian looked to everyone in the room "Someone call the doctor. Now!!!" He shouted to everyone.
The guards who were there immediately moved to his demands.
This was when Angela realized that this whole thing was supposed to happen to her.
