Chapter 49 – The Dragon and the Snow Queen (Anj‘s POV)
“Woah!”
Dylan moved away from me when we heard Anya‘s surprised voice. “Too early! And please, not in the kitchen,” She chuckled, shaking her head as she walked toward the refrigerator to get the pitcher of water. I walked past her and dashed to the bedroom, where I heard my children arguing about something. I closed the door immediately and shook my head, telling myself it should not happen while I put my hand on my chest, trying to calm my heart pounding hard inside me. “Mommy, are you okay?” Leyanne asked. Her voice woke me up, and they were all gawking at me when I looked at them. “I thought Aunt Anya would give you a bath?” “That was the plan,” Leyanne said, “but we started fighting who would go in first. She went out to call you.” I nodded. “I don‘t see the need of who will go in first,” I opened the bathroom door. “Inside, the three of you.” They went inside the bathroom without fuss, leaving me in peace for a few seconds. I swallowed hard, breathing out deeply before going inside the bathroom, hearing them fighting again.

I knew I was not in my usual self today after Dylan attempted to kiss me. I left without looking at him, not even Anya, who surprisingly did not ask me about what she saw. Dean Jones‘s secretary knocked on the faculty room‘s door and tapped her wristwatch. “In Conference Room A,” April said when I reached her. “Dean Jones wants to ask if you can handle this yourself?”
“What‘s this about?” I asked, thinking we had a meeting with her, but my idea seemed incorrect.
“An unhappy guardian of one student not on the list of graduating this month,” she chuckled. “Usually, Dean Jones talks to them to explain the reason and pacify them, but she has an emergency meeting with the chairman.” I chuckled softly. “Is the parent there already?” “Not yet, but good luck! He‘s kind of... different. He breathes fire,” she laughed, shaking her head as we walked into the hallway.
“Don‘t worry, April. Tell Dean Jones I can handle this myself. As for him breathing fire, just so you know, I breathe snow,” I winked at her, stopping at Conference Room A.
