Sabrina and the rabbit were sitting on the wooden chair at the entrance of the cave.

Rhett looked at his girlfriend. "My love, I will go to the hut to check the garden and the poultry there. And I will also gather firewood after my return," he said.

"Okay," Sabrina nods her head.

"Do you still want me to find Amara?" he asked.

Sabrina shook her head. "No need!" she replied.

"Okay, I'll go now," Rhett said, he planted a kiss on his girlfriend's head before stepping outside.

Sabrina and the rabbit watched Rhett walking in the direction of the hut until he fade away from their vision.

"Let'r try it now!" Amara said excitedly. Hoping a positive result will happen this time.

"Okay," Sabrina said and scooped the rabbit in her arms.

She walked faster towards Amara's chamber. When they reached the place, she entered inside and locked the door. She went to bed and put down the rabbit.

She grasped the medallion with her hands and looked at the rabbit. "What I'm going to say to the medallion?" she asked.

"Just order the medallion to undo the curse on your face!" the rabbit replied.

"Okay, I'll try it," Sabrina said. She grabbed the medallion with both hands and spoke, "Medallion, hear my command, undo the cursed on my face now!" she ordered.

Sabrina waited for the result.

Nothing happens!

Five minutes later, she was very much disappointed because there was no result.

The medallion didn't obey her command.

"Try again!" Amara urged her.

Sabrina sighed deeply. "Ok," she said and grasped the medallion with both hands and spoke, "Medallion, undo the curse on my face now!" she ordered.

Minutes went by, still, nothing happens!

Sabrina released a deep sigh. Good thing she didn't expect much and her disappointment wasn't that great.

"You're giving up already?" Amara asked hopelessly.

Sabrina looked at the rabbit. "I'm not, but let's stop this for now. Let's try again next week," she said.

"But my problem must be resolve quickly! I can't stand being a rabbit for a long time! Let's try again tomorrow!" Amara insisted. This has been gone for too long already. She feels like her transformation as a rabbit happened for centuries. If only she can scream at the top of her lungs that she detested what happened to her, she would do it. But she doesn't want to alert Rhett, because they already lied to him. If he knows the truth, what would he think about the whole thing? His girlfriend owned such a dangerous but dysfunctional medallion, he would ask many questions by then. Not a pleasant situation to think about. Rhett will only add up to her and Sabrina's stress.

"Okay, fine," Sabrina relented. Ugh! What she did to Amara troubled her deeply. If only she didn't say such a joke, Amara won't be transformed into a rabbit. Since the medallion won't leave her and she can't remove it from her neck then she might as well be careful with her wishes. She might accidentally turn Rhett into a frog or a cat.

She released a deep sigh. "I'm frustrated about this!" she huffed.

"Me too! I'm going crazy if I'll remain in the rabbit form all my life. I would rather die!" Amara said forlornly.

The women stared outside, wearing a despondent look on their faces.

Amara shifted her attention to Sabrina. "How about... let's try it again!" she suggested.

"What?"

"Yes, try it again on me, please?" Amara requested.

Sabrina sighed. "Okay, fine!" She grasped the medallion with both hands and uttered her order. "Medallion, hear my command! Transform Amara into her human form. Undo your mistake, now!"

The women waited for any action coming from the medallion.

Still, nothing happens...

"It's so annoying! This medallion is useless! I want this object gone from my neck! Such useless piece of crap!" Sabrina said angrily. She tried removing the necklace from her neck several times but every time she tries doing so, it would vanish from her grasp and then return a few seconds later.

Amara was reduced to tears while staring at the medallion. The way the medallion refused to obey the order of the owner, and the fact that it avoided being removed... it only means one thing, the medallion is alive and has a mind of its own!

"Sabrina, the medallion is alive! It can hear our voices and every time you tried to remove it from your neck, it avoided your grasp, which means it's making fun of us each time!" she said.

Sabrina switches her glances between the rabbit and the medallion for a few seconds. "I guess you're right!" She stopped trying to remove the medallion from her neck, she's getting tired of it due to her pent-up emotion. She stood up and looked at the rabbit. "I'm going to my chamber. Do you want to go with me or you want to stay in your room?" she asked.

"Take me back to my room," Amara replied gloomily.

"Okay," Sabrina responded. She picked up the rabbit and carried it in her arms.

A few minutes later, she reached Amara's room and place the rabbit on the bed. "I'll check on you later. I'm going to rest for a while. Dealing with this useless medallion is very tiring!" she said in a dispirited voice.

Sighing heavily, Sabrina left the room and went to her chamber to shut her eyes for a few minutes.

Back in Amara's chamber.

The rabbit was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a blank stare. She's getting worried about her situation as hopelessness began to sink into her system. If this situation will go on, every aspect of her plan will go wrong!

...

Meanwhile...

At the South Wing of the White Coven Castle.

Hilda entered Maera's study room. "Madam, are you really serious with your order of not giving the ladies their meals for the entire day? They would miss there meals, they're old already..." she said.

Maera looked at her assistant. "I'm serious! Why? Are you pitying their condition?" she asked irritably.

"No, Madam!" Hilda shook her head vigorously.

"If that is the case then don't question the legitimacy of my order. That's my way of teaching those women a lesson! Don't defy my order!" Maera warned her in an irate voice.

Feeling uneasy, Hilda shifted her attention to the floor.

Maera looked at her assistant with a raised brow. "Anything, else?"

Hilda shook her head. "No more, madam. I'll take my leave now," she said, turned around, and left the room.

Maera continues reading the book on her desk. But her focus was no longer on the book that she was reading. She was formulating plans in how to make the two women confess the whereabouts of Betty and the medallion. If she can successfully make them confess to her - then she will get a big reward as the one who finds the medallion and capture Betty first!

Having the position as the lowest among the hierarchy, she's always hungry for recognition and big promotion.

She will keep the women in the prison cell unless they will tell her where Betty and the medallion are.

The order has been passed down to the four wing leaders of the castle yesterday. Anyone who can capture Betty and find the medallion will receive a huge reward - a mysterious reward. What kind of reward is still a mystery because the order didn't elaborate what kind of rewards the person gets if they captured Betty or find the medallion.

Maera knows that everyone is scrambling to find Betty and the medallion. But what they didn't know, she had Betty's two students under her control. Sooner or later, Betty will appear to rescue her students from her clutches and that is the time to capture her and the medallion.

A bright smile appeared on her lips. If her plans work, then she will get the mysterious rewards and the recognition that she truly deserves!

She resumed reading the book feeling satisfied with her plan.

...

Back in the cave.

The couple was busy making coking preparations in the clearing outside their chamber.

The current topic of their conversation was Amara's disappearance.

"Where do you think Amara had gone to?" Rhett asked.

Sabrina eyed her boyfriend. "Why are you interested of Amara's whereabouts?" she asked.

"Given that my brother instructed me to take care of Amara for him, then what I'm going to answer him when he returns here to find his Luna gone?" Rhett said woefully.

Sabrina released a deep sigh. "I understand your situation, my love. Please don't blame yourself of Amara's disappearance. She leave this cave because she needs to go home," she said.

"Do you know where Amara lives? What is the name of the village where she and her family resides?" Rhett inquired.

"She mentioned of Loodella Village. I'm not sure of I heard it correctly. Since I'm not interested where she lives I didn't remember much of our communication back then," Sabrina replied.

Rhett raised a brow. "Are you sure Amara lives in Loodellla Village? I haven't heard that village name," he said.

"Maybe the village is very far from here that's why you didn't hear about it," Sabrina replied.

"I guess you're right," Rhett agreed with a nod of his head. He picked up the bowl. "Shall I add this coconut milk now?" he asked.

"Wait, I'll check the pumpkin first," she said. After checking the consistency of the vegetable. "Alright, add the coconut milk now..."

Rhett poured the coconut milk into the pot.

Sabrina stirred the soup with the wooden ladle and dropped a pinch of salt to taste. "Hmm, smells delicious!" then she added the spinach leaves.

Fifteen minutes later.

The couple finished cooking and enjoyed eating their meals right there in the clearing.

After eating, Sabrina brought a bowl of food to the rabbit inside Amara's chamber. Since the rabbit can't eat soup and hold the spoon, she has to spoon-feed it.

A few minutes later.

"Thanks for feeding me, dear," Amara said in a grateful voice.

"Don't mention it," Sabrina replied. "I told you, I will take care of you for the rest of my life if the medallion failed to transform you back into your human form. It's my way of apologizing to you," Sabrina said sadly.

Amara sighed deeply.
