"Hello, Son. Did you miss me?" The voice added teasingly.
Althea instantly felt a chill go down her spine. She didn't notice the person's presence until they spoke.
Hell, even when they spoke, she noticed nothing.
She instinctively wanted to fight or run. But her body refused to do both. Like she was faced with her natural predator she had no means of resisting.
All she could do was sit there and wait for death.
"Oh hello... Ah, sorry. Let me do something" The person who was obviously Mrs C spoke again before anyone could say anything.
As soon as she did, Althea who was frozen in place could finally move again. She even started gasping for breath like she was being choked before even though Monarchs can live without air. So even if they were choked it shouldn't do anything at all.
Anyway, now that she could move she immediately got up and under everyone's shocked gaze she ran to Muku's side and hugged him tightly with her eyes closed and shaking in fear.
