"Are you okay, did anything happen" Mr Zehng ask

" Hope Yen did not do anything to you" Mrs Zehng ask

Yen frown

"She is okay, not like she is hurt or anything" he tease,

Cherish hit him

"Aunt I'm okay, Yen help me" Mrs and Zehng breath a sigh relief,

"Okay, I know it is one of his prank, so we made a new batch for you extra garlic" Mr Zehng said

Cherish walk her to her seat, she know something bad will happen

' If this was a dead house for me I will surely die' she sat down, took some breath and smile,

Yen say next to her,

'You got this' he thought,

She look at him and smile, touch the silver spoon and it hurt her, she tried to hold it but it keep hurting her, she drop

"I want the gold spoon please"

Her word made Yen to think,

Weng brought the gold spoon for her, she look at Maya Kelvin Coby and Zack, saw their hands where burnt due to the spoon but they did not say anything

"Please give my friends the gold spoon please"

They look at her, her sudden behavior made them to wonder if something is wrong with her,

She silently take the spoon, scope some food, and put it in her mouth

Despite the pain, she still ate it,

She want to cry, her tongue is burning, she finish the food, panting,

"Cold tomatoes juice now" she yell,

The maids start to walk to the kitchen,

Weng brought a glass,

Yen and the wolves feel sad for her,

Cherish take the glass and drank it like she is really thirsty

"More"

Lucky for weng she made extra,

She know, if Cherish ask for juice it mean she like it and want more, unless if she drink it the next day and changes her mind.

Cherish finish drinking it and stop panting, Mr and Mrs Zehng become confuse

"Are you okay" Yen ask,

"Hmmm" she nod,

The people at the table wonder what is going on between them,

"Did they reconcile with each other" Mrs Zehng whisper

"Look like" Mr Zehng whisper back,

They know they have been quarreling, for them to behave like this is shocking,

Silence rain in the room,

Everyone look sad except Cherish

"But you just got here stay for another day" Mrs Zehng said

"Yes stay"her husband agree,

Yen did not know what to say, he feel a part of him going,

'Don't tell me I have started developing feelings for her'

Cherish heard it and giggle silently, she touch his lap, he look at her, she went to his ear

"You really love her"she whisper

' I think' he thought,

"You do, now do this"

Maya watch them

Cherish heard that but ignore it,

After whispering, Cherish text someone, after a few minutes later, everyone hear a knock at the door, one of the maid walk to the door, she open it,

Cherish blush hearing her words, look at Yen and wink,

"Alright since we are all done I will get ready to go" she walk to her room, close the door and took some air, went to take her bath. After bathing, she walk out from the bathroom cover in robe

She walk to her dressing drawer, sit on the chair, humming a song while drying her hair. The card on her table glow red,it caught her attention, she drop the brush, pick the card. Her is written on the front

"Who send me this"

She open it, fear stroke her

"I will hunt you and keep hunting you till you die"

The card become hot,

She look at her palm, shock to see a burnt mark, the card burn away, her skin heal, she sigh in relief

"Who send that?"

Downstairs everyone is ready,

Maya, Coby, kelvin and Zack were ready, it is remaining one person

"What is taken her so long" Mrs Zehng ask pacing

"I will go and check"

Before Yen could go up, a young, beautiful, gorgeous beauty step out in blue, she walk gracefully down, Maya, Zack, Coby and Kelvin were speechless, watching her descending down, she reach the last part of the stairs,

"You look beautiful" Mr Zehng compliment

"Really, she is not as good looking as me"Yen tease,

She hit him, walk up to Maya, smiling

"See you tomorrow "

She look at the boys and wink,

"Shall we"

They left the house.

Cherish is still afraid of touching the holy water and the letter she receive, she look at Yen who is beside her, he touch her hand

'It is going to be okay', he smile

She smile but still frighten,

They reach the church,

Mr Zehng park the car,

"Alright we are here" he said,

They come down.

After church, it is time for each member to touch the holy water, Cherish and Yen with Mr and Mrs Zehng are last on the line,

Cherish feel a little bit hungry, she look at the people, shake her head,

Yen notice

"Are you okay" he whisper

"Yeah I will just need to use the restroom" she excuse herself,

"I will follow her" Yen thought something bad will happen,

Cherish did not use the restroom but instead stroll, she see a bird, her fens came out, her eyes glow red, she bend to bite it, Yen see her,

"Oh my gosh" he ran to her,

Cherish pick up the bird, brought it close to her mouth, ate the bird raw,

She felt satisfied, she became normal

"That was good" she squeal,

Yen held her hand, he look angry

"What did you do"

His tone made her confuse

"I am fine I did nothing" she lied

"I saw you, where is that bird" he ask,

He knew she did something

"It flew away, didn't you see it" she lied again

"Cherish where is the bird" he ask again but a little louder,

She knew she can't keep it from him

"W....w...we...well I ate it" she stammer,

He became shock " you ate it"

He didn't know what has become of her

"What's wrong" she ask

"What's wrong, what's wrong, you ate a bird and you ask what's wrong," he look around and breath out

"I think it is time we head back" he pull her out of there,

Meanwhile four people were watching her

"I can't remember her but I think she is the one"the girl said

"Yeah me too let's ask our mum" they transfer into wolves and ran.

Yen pull Cherish back in line, unlucky for them it's their turn

"Where have you guys been its our turn"

Mrs Zehng took them,
