Chapter 11: Definitely Not Human…

Sharon immediately felt the tension in the room. She knew that the reason was obviously because of the emergency meeting that was to be held in the parlor. Apparently, Rufus Barma had contacted her grandmother and proposed that they meet with the Baskervilles. The only people in the room was Break and Liam and the two obviously created the aura of tension as Break was murmuring inaudibly and Liam looked deflated with cursory glances at the clown while mouthing the word, "human".

"Break, what are you murmuring about there in the corner? Will you mind to share it with me?" Sharon asked as she crossed the threshold.

"Of course, m'lady" Break answered taking her hand and planting a soft kiss on it. She secretly squealed inside being glad Break didn't see how childish she still was deep inside. It would be scandalous of a betrothed like her to feel happy from the affections by another and she was so sure her grandmother wouldn't approve.

"I had a strange dream last night. It was about the king of hearts, you see. He's a useless character in a book called "Alice in Wonderland" but in my dream, he confessed that he had only made himself look helpless for his queen but he was supposedly the receiver of a chain that would change the fate of the world. However, there came an unknown factor that stole the said chain. What do you think of the story?" Break added thoughtfully. "A sign, a sign…"Emily kept on repeating.

"I really don't know what you're talking about but I do believe that men will do anything for the woman they love and the opposite is true that women can do anything for the man they love. What do you think? You know, about love…" Sharon tried to softly nudge her retainer on to telling her if he loved her but she knew he'd just tell her off.

"I believe that love is a young and proud princess riding on a black unicorn that I swear to protect for she is love."

Sharon blushed. Wasn't that just a confession!? What was she supposed to say!? She looked at Liam helplessly but the Lunette muttered "definitely not human" which made no sense and was no help.

"Ahhh…umm…"

"Psst…Sharon" Oz called the attention of the tomato-faced girl. "Everyone's here"

"Let's start the meeting then", Sharon instructed going beside her mother.
