Soft sunlight shone through the window. The redhead is looking at herself in the mirror with eyes that she doesn't think she knows herself. She was willing to give the most precious thing in her life 16 years ago. And she knows the people involved.If she knew that what you were willing to give would be valuable to she now. She will never give up. The thing was within her reach, she just couldn't grab it. She always blames herself for being a fool.“Zelds, I think you should go down for breakfast now.” Hilda's voice pulled her out of her trance of everything at this point. "Of course, I'll go." She got up and walked away. from her bedroom so that no one would worry about her.Zelda walked to the kitchen and sat down on a chair. "Good morning, Aunt zee. You look worried." Sabrina said worriedly. She was really worried lately. "You can say anything Auntie," Ambrose said to Zelda."Oh, I'm just feeling numb, don't worry." She was lying to everyone. She didn't want anyone to worry about her. "Aunt, are you lying to us?" Sabrina asked knowing she was lying to everyone. "Why should I lie? There's nothing I have to do." She continued to lie even after being caught. you know we know You don't have to lie What should you say?" Sabrina said, genuinely curious as to what Zelda was hiding."When I'm ready, I'll say, don't worry," Zelda said and walked out of the house. The rest of the people could only look at each other._____________________________________________
CowenZelda walks into the academy to teach the students. Everyone was always staring at her, she didn't like it at all."Oh, I thought you wouldn't come today," said a woman's voice. She turned to look in the direction of the voice. "Why do you think that, Shirley?" Shirley Jackson was a teacher who taught choir before she took over. "I just didn't see you in the morning."Shirley said, laughing at her with satisfaction that made everyone turn to look, “I thought, too. That you're a brainless woman Just thinking of finding a way to bite me or anyone else like a dog.”Her words made Shirley blush in anger at Zelda for saying she was like a dog. "Zelda, when you were Blackwood's father's favourite. Someday he'll leave you." Shirley said thoughtfully winning Zelda.
“How dirty are people who think like you have to have a dirty mind.” She stabbed Shirley. while everyone was standing and watching her. The door to Faustus' office opened. with his large body stepping out
"What are you standing and watching?" Faustus asked everyone, but no one answered just looking at what they were watching. He walked over to take a closer look. "What are you guys arguing about again?"Faustus asked out of boredom with her and Shirley quarreling and arguing every time they had time or saw each other.“Father Blackwood, you know that she always scolds me with no regard for anyone, not even you,” Shirley slandered her in front of him and everyone else. She tried to keep quiet so as not to scold Shirley, "She's been quiet, so she really did." "Shut up you stupid witch. How can you say something stupid?" Zelda tried not to scold Shirley, but she couldn't stand it.
"You'll have to go and adjust your attitude in my office," he said, leading him to his office. with her and Shirley following him. “Sit down.” The two of them sat down in their chairs as instructed by him even though they didn't want to.
"I'll have to say it a million times before you guys stop bickering or arguing in the academy in front of everyone including the students," he said in a serious tone. "You know I won't. when Zelda didn't do anything to me" Shirley slandered her.
“How can you say that? You're trying to misrepresent me, Shirley,” Zelda retorted as anger surged within her. She was trying to be careful with her words."Wait, won't you guys listen to what I'm saying?" They both became silent in Faustus' voice._______________________________________Spellman House“Aunt Hilda, do you know anything about Aunt zee? I mean, she won't tell us." Sabrina sat down next to Ambrose trying to ask Hilda. "I don't know," Hilda replied. "But I think we should bring Nick here in case he can help us."
While everyone was talking A knock at the door sounded. Sabrina went to open the door, "Nick! Thank you, thank you, you came as soon as I needed you,” Sabrina said happily, “Okay, I'll try to understand.”
Nick walked over to the living room. Everyone was looking at him. "What's going on?" Nick asked curiously as everyone looked at him. She hides from us."
“We are not a way to get into Zelda's memories. Because everyone's memory can play a trick on us," Sabrina said, looking up at Nick's face. "Okay, I'll help everyone find the truth. But how do we start?"
Sabrina and everyone sat thinking until the evening. Zelda opens the door to the house and finds everyone asleep on the floor. On the sofa go "hey,What are you doing here?" Zelda said, waking everyone who was asleep. "We sit and talk and wait for you."
"I want to rest Let's eat nothing." Zelda went up to the second floor of the house. Everyone sat looking at each other. "There's nothing we can do about it," Ambrose said, admonishing everyone. "I can imagine why we didn't cast a truth spell on her."
"Yeah, but don't forget, Zelda isn't stupid. She uses all sorts of spells to defend herself," Hilda said. “We should investigate ourselves. When spells can't be used," Nick said with certainty. "That's what I'm about to say."

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The next day, everyone is eating and Zelda has coffee and reads the newspaper. "Auntie Sis, didn't you teach at the Academy today?" Sabrina asked, as Zelda was late at the Academy. "I'd like to change the time a bit. Because I'm not feeling well lately.""You can tell us what you're worried about, Auntie." Ambrose tried to persuade Zelda to reveal the truth."I... used to, uh. Give some of the things that are most precious to me right now.” Zelda said the slightest hint of her heart, but that was of little use to her secret.
