Marigold POV's
Vanna sat there without speaking a single word. I wonder if I did anything wrong.
"You don't have to answer that. I know it is quite late. Why don't you spend the night here and go back to your family in the morning?"
Vanna nodded. He put down his cup. I noticed he didn't take a sip of the tea. But I didn't think that it would be wise to question him. After all I like to keep my company right at home. I took away the food and brought it back into the kitchen. As I was clearing up the kitchen, Vanna got up and was looking around the house.
"Be careful with that oven! It can get really hot. And since I just bake the cookies, don't get too close to it."
Vanna stared at my oven for a while before looking away. I wonder why he is over here. I have to think he might need help but I don't think that he would be able to tell me tonight.
"Vanna." I called to him. "You can stay here for tonight."
Vanna's POV's
I lay in bed staring up at the celling. The large oven keeps coming back into my head. A large black oven full of more meat the better. The black gate of the moon flashes back into my head. I never heard anyone mention that gate. The pitch black gate that separate her house from the garden. I need to ask these people.
"Vanna!"
A woman's voice woke me up. Where am I? Oh I at that woman's house! That naïve woman that let me spend the night here.I walk outside and saw her standing in the kitchen.
"Good morning. I hope you slept well."
I gave her a slight nod.
"Would you like any breakfast?"
I shook my head. I want to get out of here as fast as I can. I moved closer to the door.
"Are you sure? I'm making some pancakes."
I shook my head again. I opened the front door and ran. I didn't look back to see if she followed me. But I keep imagining her laughter and she chasing after me.
