Chapter 56
Abby couldn’t believe her eyes when she found herself staring at her younger self from ten years back. The shock she felt was inexplicable when she was actually brought back to the very
ry day her whole life changed no less.
With her eyes impossibly wide, Abby saw her nine year old self actually walking to the fireplace with this strange expression on her face.
Abby couldn’t understand why her younger self was looking like she was actually excited to go near the fire and play with it. No, if she had to be honest, the tween actually looked like she was longing to
ouch the fire with her bare hand,
This was so different from the memories at the back of her mind.
She remembered how she caused the fire clearly, but this tween self of herself didn’t move from the fireplace for a long time while her eyes kept darting to the door every five seconds.
It was as if she had ulterior motives other than simply wanting to see a big fire erupt like her own memory indicated.
Moreover, the tween in front of her looked more mature for her age with clear eyes and all, nothing like the timid girl like her current older self.
Abby was flabbergasted. It was like she was staring at someone else completely, who just looked impossibly similar to herself.
After all, how was it possible for someone to actually experience this kind of thing?
Was this witch trying to pull another trick on her? She was so bizarre, Abby couldn’t make heads and tails of any of her actions.
But then the pack house, the room, even the fireplace was so familiar to her, Abby couldn’t deny the tween in front of her was her own younger self.
This was all so confusing, coupled with the way her head was throbbing, Abby wanted to just up and leave this memory lane and the witch’s hut in an instant.
However, Abby felt her soul leave her b*dy when she saw the younger Abby do something even more outlandish from the corner of her
eyes.
The small girl’s hand was in flames, while she just stood there without doing anything to put out
the fire.
Abby wanted to scream at the top of her lungs to make the tween understand fire could be dangerous and she could get hurt.
“Get away from there!” Abby shouted.
However, no matter how loud she screeched, the small girl couldn’t hear her. Abby felt her whole frame shaking with fear for the girl, who was none other than her younger self, she actually forgot she was currently looking back into a possible memory and not at something that was happening

currently.
She even hoped for someone to come and rescue the small girl from her own stupidity.
if the Moon Goddess heard her prayers, someone did push open the large door behind the girl in the ne
second, making Abby sigh in relief.
But the person stepped into the room was someone she didn’t expect at all and the sigh that was about to leave her l*ps got stuck in her throat as she choked on pure air.
It was none other than her mother, just like she remembered, beautiful yet elegant with her long black hair flowing past her waist.
Abby couldn’t help tearing up looking at her lovely mother’s face as she felt like running into her arms and crying her heart out. She wanted to tell her how much she missed her, but then she found that she couldn’t move an inch.
And she saw her mother’s always smiling face was now marred with a deep frown as she quickly kicked the door closed behind her as she rushed into the room.
“Abby, my little girl, what were you doing just now?” Her mother asked as her fists settled on her own hips. She sounded a little angry.
Abby immediately shook her head, wanting to say that she didn’t do anything when she realized her mother was actually talking to her younger self.
Only then did she remember that little Abby’s hand was about to burn, but when she turned around, there was no trace of fire on her hand or b*dy. Even the full sleeve of her dress looked all shiny and new, even though she clearly saw how it was engulfed in flames just a moment ago.
“Nothing, mother,” little Abby said, smiling innocently.
“Don’t lie to me, little girl,” Abby’s mother chided her daughter softly, almost giving up the thought of scolding her when the little girl’s cuteness made her smile involuntarily. “Did you play with fire again?”
Faced with her mother’s unforgiving gaze, the tween didn’t falter as she lied through her teeth. “No, mother. I didn’t do anything.”
However, Abby’s mother didn’t let her off as she narrowed her eyes at her.
Little Abby, feeling the need to defend herself, continued sticking to her lies. “No, mother, I didn’t do this.”
In the next second, a small flame burned at the tip of her finger as she looked at her mother with
gave her big eyes wide open. Only by doing so, she
herself away.
“How did you know this trick?” Abby’s mother asked her immediately.
Oh, no! Mother caught her,
Not being able to smooth her way out of this anymore, the small girl lowered her head as she put out the flame immediately.

“You have been playing with fire while I’m not aware.” Riley, Abby’s mother, answered her own. question as she walked toward her daughter.
“I’m sorry, mother,” little Abby immediately apologized. “It was fun, so I just wanted to learn more
about this.”
“But, didn’t I tell you that you shouldn’t create your own fire no matter what?” Abby’s mother told her off sternly this time while the girl looked like she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Abby’s mother couldn’t help but feel bad for her. So she took the tween into her arms. as she tried to reason with her, while holding her little shoulders and looking into her eyes softly. “My sweet baby, it’s not safe to let anyone know that you could use magic.”
Little Abby didn’t seem to agree with her mother as she pulled back a little from her mother and stared up at her.
“But I could control it just fine,” little Abby frowned, wanting to play with her power as she liked it very much.
Saying this, little Abby started showing her mother how good she got at controlling her fire.
She even made the flame at the tip of her finger bigger and then again smaller, giggling happily at her own progress.
She couldn’t understand why her mother was adamant about this so much, until she wasn’t even allowed to talk about this with her friends. Forget about her friends, even her older sister, Hanna didn’t know about this.
The little fire turned into large flames right under her watch as she looked at her mother who was equally shocked.
“I’m not doing this,” she immediately told her mother, who nodded her head as she tried to put out the fire using her own magic..
Abby didn’t understand how everything escalated so fast as everything that was around them. caught fire, quickly burning to ashes in the next second.
Little Abby started crying at her words, even though she didn’t understand what her mother just said, as she sounded so horrified.
And then the little girl fainted from all the pain.
was also the reason why she couldn’t feel her beast even after all these years?
