Back in the hut, Olga and Azere starts eating their breakfast.

"Honestly, I pitied Sabrina. I was so shocked with her new look, it's horrendous! Our current look is much better compared to hers," Olga commented.

Azere released a troubled sigh. "That's what I'm pissed about! I'm mad that Mother had chosen that kind of curse, it's too cruel for an innocent girl like Sabrina. Her only fault is taking pity on the wolf's situation and falling in love with him! And now she was suffering from the punishment that's both cruel and unreasonable!" she lamented in an irate voice.

Olga's eyes twinkled. "Oh, I've never seen you so angry at Mother, this is the first time! And it's amazing to look at. Why don't we steal the Brown Book together and put an end to our miseries? Remember, we can also help Sabrina and that woman Amara from leaving the cave safely," she suggested.

Azere glared at her friend. "Although I'm upset on what happened to Sabrina, I will never steal the book! So, please stop convincing me to do the thing that Mother hated the most and that is stealing her valuable books!"

Olga sighed. "You know what. I'm actually happy that you no longer have any plans to return to Laswich Mountain, that means, Mother will only have one apprentice and that's me. One day, I will become a powerful witch feared by anyone. But every time I saw my face in the mirror I got super annoyed and my anger shoot to the roof! I can't wait for another ten years to get rid of this wrinkled face. I detested it so much. If I'm already old and this is my face, I can easily accept that, but Mother turned us into old women during our prime! What the hell she's thinking way back then?" she whined furiously.

Azere breathed deeply and continue munching on the eggplant omelet. "Get over it! If you wish to be Mother's only disciple then bear her punishment. We both know that Mother is very strict and easily get's irritated with small things. You should have bottomless patience in dealing with her. She can be demanding and hard to please sometimes." She reminded her friend.

Olga looked at Azere. "Alright, let's not talk about Mother. Instead, let's talk about the people in the cave," she said.

"What do you want to talk about them?" Azere asked.

"Amara is a complete mystery to me. I have accompanied you to the cave several times and yet I haven't discover her true identity yet. Then another thing... that wolf is stupid!" Olga said.

Azere raised a brow. "Eh? Why did you call him stupid?"

"Can't you imagine that-? The wolf can leave the cave freely but he still wants to remain in the cave! I find his decision stupid!" Olga answered.

Azere shook her head. "Falling in love with someone and not leaving that person through thick and thin is not stupid. The wolf had fallen in love with Sabrina, therefore he can't leave his beloved woman behind. His love is pure and I admired him for that."

"Really-? How can you be so sure?" Olga said in mock astonishment. "I wonder how long the wolf can tolerate Sabrina's hideous face? Now that there's another beautiful woman inside the cave. Rhett has to erect his guard high all the time. Chances are, if Amara will stay in the cave for a long time, sooner or later, she will seduce him. It's just a matter of time!"

Azere glared at Olga. "Why are you being so negative? The couple will never separate just because of the changed we saw on Sabrina's face. That would never happen! I saw the sincerity in the wolf's eyes when he told me that he love Sabrina. I believe him."

"Fine! Let's not talk about them anymore! I don't want you getting mad at me. How about we make another bet..." Olga suggested with a grin.

Azere raised a brow. "What bet?"

"Let's make a bet! Will the wolf leave Sabrina or not in the next ten years?" Olga smiled wickedly.

Azere dismissed her friend's suggestion. "No way, I lose in our first bet. I will never enter in another bet with you again!" she said.

Olga laughed in amusement. "What-? Afraid to lose again?" she asked.

Azere rolled her eyes and heaved a sigh. "I believe in Rhett's love and sincerity towards Sabrina. The fact that he chose to remain in the cave after the curse was lifted, and despite Sabrina's ugly transformation, he was still affectionate towards her and that is evidence enough that he is the type of guy that never back out from his words and promises," she elaborated further.

Olga smiled. "You got a point! I hope the couple will survive this new trials in their relationship. I only wish them peace and happiness," she said in a sincere voice.

The women resumed eating their breakfast in comfortable silence.

...

Back in the cave.

The couple had finished eating their breakfast fifteen minutes ago and currently resting on the bed.

Rhett was in deep thoughts, consumed about his desire to visit his family at the Golden Peak Valley.

Sabrina noticed the preoccupied look on her boyfriend's face. "What are you thinking?" she asked curiously and covered her face with the face towel.

Rhett looked at Sabrina and removed the towel from her face. "Don't cover your face! Stop being ashamed of your new look because every time I look at you it's your old image that I see not your new one. So, don't worry about my feelings towards you, they will never change, okay?"

Sabrina smiled and hugged him tightly. "Thank you for showering me with your genuine love, I'm so lucky to be loved by you..." she said, teary-eyed.

Rhett planted a kiss on her cheek. "I love you so much! Please, don't let the curse affect your mental and emotional well being. And stop worrying that my feelings will change just because you look ugly now. That will never happen, okay?" he assured her.

Sabrina nodded her head and buried her face into his chest. "By the way, what are you thinking earlier?" she repeated her question.

"I'm planning to visit my family in the Golden Peak Valley one of these days," Rhett answered.

Sabrina froze.

Rhett noticed that Sabrina's body went rigid. He looked at her face. "What's wrong?"

Sabrina shook her head and replied, "Nothing..." She avoided his gaze. The one thing that she feared the most is the possibility of Rhett's family preventing him from returning back to the cave once he's back home. His family might influence his future decision. What will happen to her if he can no longer return to the cave? She shut her eyes trying to prevent her negative thoughts from creating havoc in her mind as her insecurities skyrocketed.

"Will you will allow me to go home and visit my family?" Rhett asked.

Sabrina nodded her head. "Yeah, sure! How many days you will stay there?"

Rhett smiled. "Don't worry, I will only stay there for a few hours and I'll return right away. I will start my journey early morning and return here before nightfall. This way you don't have to sleep alone in the bed," he said.

"Okay," Sabrina replied. She already agreed on Rhett's plan of visiting his family, and she won't dare shed tears while she's beside him. She doesn't want him to think that's she's a cry baby. She will keep the fear and worries hidden deep inside her.

She feared that one day, Rhett might get bored and feed up with her clingy attitude. Those negative attitudes can be the catalyst of him leaving her behind for good.

She will remained cool outside but continue suffering inside due to her insecurities.
