CHAPTER FOURTEEN: WHAT’S BEHIND THE MARK II.
Lady Itzel left to her room. She met Hazel sitter on her bed going through her book. Of the first time, Itzel saw Hazel reading a book. It wasn’t as if she saw it as a bad thing, it’s probably a surprising thing.
“Never thought you would fancy those.” She said and Hazel chuckled, turning to get a full glance of her. ” Hello sister.”
Hazel immediately dropped the book rushing to her for a hug. “It’s been long sister, how have you been?”
“It’s been frustrating without you, Itzel. I really missed you so much. ”
” I missed you too, Hazel. ”
They broke the hug, sitting on the sofa behind the Itzel’s bed.
“Mind for a tea?” Itzel asked.
“No, thanks. I’m full. ”
Itzel nodded.
” How have the Pendragon’s been treating you so far?” Hazel asked.
“Fairly, sister, they have been taking care of me. ”
” I see. It’s all over on you if I may say. ”
Itzel chuckled softly.
” What about sister Honoria? I haven’t seen her since the wedding. ”
” She didn’t come. She said, she would rather stay back than witness your wedding. ”
Itzel’s expression grew pale. Why would she say no to her wedding?
Despite their odds, Itzel still expected her the most.
“Why?” She asked, painfully. “Why would she prefer to stay back than to attend my wedding? ”
” It was her choice, she made it herself. Why bother about her? ”
” She is my sister, Hazel. She has to be here. She is supposed to be here, witnessing my marriage other than to lock herself in her chambers. ”
” But you still have us to witness it. Father, mother, Elizabeth, Maria, Victoria and… me. We are here for you. So, Honoria not being here shouldn’t bother you so much. ”
Itzel stood up, walking to her wardrobe to get changed to her night dress.
While she changed, Hazel’s eyes met with the mark on her back.
“I thought this has disappeared a long time ago.”
” What hasn’t disappeared? ” She asked.
” The mark on your back. ”
” Oh. Is it too obvious?”
“Very obvious. One can clearly see it from afar. Are you sure his Highess haven’t seen it? ”
” I doubt he has ever seen me unclad. ”
” What of mother, have you cared to ask her? ”
” Not yet. Never thought it was necessary, tho.”
” I guess it is now. ”
Itzel stared at her back from the mirror before sitting back on the sofa. After a brief moment of thought, she asked.
“Do you have an idea on what it could mean?”
“A little. Two days ago, I went to the library. There, I came across this book. It was written with a red ink. ”
” What is the name? ”
” Witchcraft. ”
” Witchcraft? ” She repeated. ” I thought Avalon despises witchcraft and everything that pertaineth to magic.”
” I thought as much too when I found the book.” She shrugs. ” I went through the pages, then I saw this page which contained something that has to do with… Reincarnation. ”
” What does that mean? ”
” It means a lost soul that has resurrected in another body. It also says that when the body joins together, it leaves a sign on the body of it’s host. ”
Itzel hummed. ” Which is? ”
” Sun burn, skin changes, it can even be a mark. ”
” Like mark-mark? ”
” Like birth marks or… or just marks. ”
” Like this one? ” She pointed her back.
” Like this one. ”
” So, you mean someone is sharing my own body with me?”
” Probably.”
Itzel chuckled. ” That’s crazy, you know that? That is so impossible that I can be two in just a single body?”
Hazel shrugged again.” All we need to do is to ask. I’m pretty sure mother has a good knowledge of this more than anyone. ”
” Ask mother what? ” Queen Eleanor said from the door.
Itzel and Hazel looked at each other.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: WHAT’S BEHIND THE MARK III.
“Ask mother what?” Queen Eleanor said from the door.
” Mother. ” Itzel bowed, her l-ips beaming with smile.
” Oh, dear, look at you. You look so beautiful with your…” She noticed Itzel was no longer putting on the wedding gown but a night wear. “You’ve changed already?”
Itzel frowned, “Of course. You aren’t expecting I have those on till midnight?”
“Honestly, I was expecting you have them on till sunrise. ”
” You are kidding me, right? ”
Queen Eleanor laughed.” Of course, darling, I was only joking. Come on, let’s have a seat.”
They both sat down. Queen Eleanor kept admiring the fullness of Itzel’s chambers. She knew the Pendragon’s were doing Itzel well.
Itzel on the other side was growing more beautiful each day. No longer on the maid attire this time, but a royal lifestyle.
Things seemed to have changed for the better of Itzel.
“How have you been all these days?” The Queen decided to ask.
” Great, mother. The Pendragon’s welcomed me with an open mind and her majesty has been so kind and over protecting towards me. ”
” I see.”
” I hope you enjoyed the ceremony. I can have Ginny serve you two something if that would be okay. ”
” No, thanks, I’m full. “Hazel said, waving in objection.
” We really enjoyed the ceremony. Don’t worry, we are not hungry.” Queen Eleanor said calmly.
” I overheard you two talk about telling me something. What is that?” Queen Eleanor finally rose the topic again.
” Um… ” Itzel stammered. “Actually, Hazel and I… we were talking about the tattooed mark on my back. We think you might know something about it. ”
” I don’t know what it means. All I do know is that, it isn’t just an ordinary tattooed mark. ”
“What is it, then? ” Hazel asked.
” The mark, ” she started, ” it surfaced on your skin when you were little, you were only eight then. I with your father had thought it was part of the childish designs you girls always give to yourselves or maybe a birthmark that has just shown at a late notice. But as you grew up, we noticed the mark also grew too. So, your father and I had to travel to so many kingdoms, seeking different herbalists for an answer to the strange mark. Still, they gave us the same answers that it was a mark of witchcraft. ”
” I… Does that mean I am a witch? ” Itzel asked, terrified if that was what it means.
“I doubt that.” Said the Queen.
“You are never a witch, Itzel, not even for this. ” Hazel consoled her. She looked at the Queen, ” So,”
“So,” she continued, “one night, I had to secretly leave the castle to meet a witch. She wasn’t a famous witch, but people who knew her said great things about her. ”
” If people really acknowledge her skills, why does she have to be in a hide out? ” Asked Hazel.
” Because from the beginning, Avalon never acknowledged witchcraft. She only has to keep a low profile of herself to avoid being caught and killed. So, sneaking out of the palace was the only way to find the truth behind the mark.”
” I told her everything, how it came to be on you and how we’ve journey to several kingdoms for an answer.
“What did she say?” Itzel asked.
“She said the mark wasn’t witchcraft. She said it was a mark of reincarnation.”
Itzel scoffed. ” Reincarnation? ” She repeated. ” How does that actually make sense?! How is that even possible? And all this year’s, I’ve been having another body in my own body? ”
” I so much wanted to disbelief this wh0le thing as much as you do, Itzel, but look at it, each time you grow, it grows too. ”
” Which means, the being in her grows as well?”
Queen Eleanor nodded. “Yes.”
” Is.. is there a side effect for this? I mean the mark? ”
” I… I… I don’t.. know. ” She tried to hide it, but it was so obvious that there truly is an effect for it.
“Mother, I need to know the truth. Is there an effect for this? ”
” Yes. ” She said, painfully.
” Tell me, what is it? ”
” In order for survival, one of you have to die. It’s either you die for the being to take control of the body, or vice versa. ”
” And… What if none of us decides to die? ”
” The both of you dies together. ” She concluded.
Itzel stood up, shooking her head continuously. Her eyes blinking, tears made its way out of her eyes.
One of them has to die? For survival?
Hazel went to hug her, resisting the struggles she was making to break free.
“You are not going to die, Itzel, not even for the mark. At least not now. It’s okay. It’s okay. ”
~`*~`*~`*
Itzel had woken up so early. Her eyes stared at nowhere for everywhere was so dark. The thick silk curtain made it impossible for the sun rays to penetrate in,side.
Ginny walked in quietly, not wanting to wake the princess up. She shifted each curtains aside, letting the sun make its way in.
She stiffened when she saw Itzel sit on her bed. “My lady, you’re awake already?”
Unlike Lady Itzel, she would always greet her maid with a smile but this time, acted not to have notice Ginny walk in.
By the look on her face, Ginny knew something wasn’t right. Someone or something must have offended her.
“My lady, are you alright? You don’t look alright this morning. Is there a problem? ”
” No, Ginny, just couldn’t sleep well last night. ”
” Thinking about the ceremony? ”
” No, something different. ”
” Mind to tell me? ”
” Ginny, I wish I can but.. it’s something I really don’t want to talk about right now.”
Ginny nodded. ” It’s okay. I understand now. ”
” Thank you. ”
She quickly left to get the bathing water ready for Itzel. As soon as she was done getting the water ready, she came out to the room.
“Arya is getting your dinner and the water is ready.”
Itzel walked into the bathroom, she loosen the robes of her night gown, letting it pool around her feet. She sank herself into the hot water, letting it cover her wh0le body leaving only her head visible.
She wanted to wash every discussion she had made with her mother last night concerning the mark but it kept ringing as a bell in her mind.
One of them has to die? For survival?
She sighed heavily.
She deepened herself that her body was now fully immersed in the water. Her eyes closed, and she made herself look like a dead corpse.
Arya walked in, dropping the tray of honey mustard sauce on the table. “Where is her Highess?” She asked.
“She’s taking her bath.”
” How long has she being in there? ”
” Few minutes, why? ”
” Nothing. Just wanted to check if she is alright. ”
” Yes, she is. ” Ginny replied, sounding a little bit harsh.
” Can I ask you something, Ginny?”
“Not interested but yes, what is it?”
“Why do you so much hate me? I’m not evil neither am I trying to harm the princess. I know she so much loves you more than anyone else, and I’m not trying to take the love away. I’m only trying to be like you are towards her, that’s all. But, if there’s anyway I have got to your marrow, please forgive me. ”
” First thing, I don’t hate you. Second, I’m not thinking of you taking her lady’s love from me and third, you’ve done nothing wrong to me. ”
” Then why are you acting like you don’t know me. Like I am some kind of garbage to you? ”
Ginny sighed heavily, ” you just have to stop being pushy towards things.”
“Am I?”
“Yes.” She replied, rolling her eyes. ” You force yourself to the princess, you want her to find so much interest in you than anyone else but that’s not the point. The point is, you are feeling so pride of yourself for being her maid and not them. ”
Ginny was right. Arya has been so proud of herself since the night she escorted the princess for shopping. She believes being her highness’s assistant maid was a privilege to be recognized in the palace.
Unlike Ginny, she was devoted to serve her Highess well for the rest of her life.
“You can’t be so different from the others, I might not be from Atlantis and might actually not know much about the palace but yet, we all are the same. We shouldn’t look at others as nothing. I thought acting rudely around you was the best way to correct your attitude and I found out it really was. ”
” Thank you for letting me know about this. I never noticed I was this proud and silly. So, are we good now? ”
Ginny smiled childishly, nodding. ” We’re good. ”
” How long do you say her Highess has been in there? ” Arya asked and Ginny thought for awhile.
She definitely is right. It’s almost thirty minutes Lady Itzel has walked in there and not even a single sound has been heard.
“There hasn’t been a sound or voice for quite some time now, don’t you think something isn’t right? “Arya convinced her.
They banged into the bathroom only to see the princess’s body in the water.
“Oh, heavens. What has she done to herself?” Ginny cried.
“Help me, we have to take her to her room.” Arya said and they lifted her unconscious body out of the water.

What has gone over Itzel now?
Why would she think of doing something so stupid. 😱😱
