Silent tension brewed between us.

I stayed calm and composed, meeting Veronica’s inquisitive gaze with steady confidence.
No matter how she probed, my face stayed the same, showing no fear or weakness.
But Ivy couldn’t keep quiet any Longer, whispering a cautious warning.

“Dear, watch out. If Shirley’s mean, her mom might be too. It’s smart to be careful.”
I didn’t argue with Ivy; her worries made sense.
Shirley was full of herself and mean, always looking down on others.
It was only logical to assume her mother, Veronica, was similar. It was always smart to be careful.
Veronica, as the clan leader, should be more careful than her daughter. Even if she didn’t like me, she probably wouldn’t do something as terrible as attacking someone in public, like Shirley would.
As expected, Veronica stopped staring at me and asked calmly, “Are you the mixed-blood witch that Andrew saved?”

“Yes,” I replied confidently. “I’m Debra Clarkson.”
Veronica looked at me for a moment, then smiled slightly. “Debra, you seem different from other mixed-blood witches I’ve met. You’re not like them.”
I frowned but didn’t say anything right away.
Different?

What did she mean by that?
Even though Veronica’s words sounded friendly and she didn’t seem mean, something didn’t feel right.
Was she trying to find out something about me?
I thought quickly, but I couldn’t figure out what she was getting at.
She couldn’t be praising me just because I had argued with her daughter, could she?
Deciding to stay quiet, remembering that talking too much Leads to more mistakes, I didn’t confirm or deny anything.
“What do you think you’re doing, Mom!” Shirley saw her mother being too friendly with me and got annoyed immediately. “Mom, shouldn’t you be punishing this awful half-blood witch and standing up for me? Why are you being nice to her?”
Veronica glanced at Shirley, frowning slightly. “Shirley, as long as she’s here, she’s our guest. You shouldn’t cause any more trouble.”
It was clear she didn’t want Shirley to cause me any more problems.
Ivy whispered, “Dear, Veronica sees more than Shirley does. She knows continuing this would only make things worse for them.”
