Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323

I’m hiding behind an old wooden chair, my fear on overdrive as I sneak a peak through the ratty blankets that were thrown over it.

The fear isn’t mine own, but it feels so real. My arms squeeze around a little girl in front of me. “It’s okay, Yvonne. Everything is going to be okay.” I whisper to the little girl.

My limbs shake, regardless of the façade I’m trying to put on for the little girl. My eyes travel back to the small hole when the door to the hut slams open.

We both gasp, but I pull Yvonne closer to me and shush her.

‘Mom said she wasn’t sure what would happen to us if he found us.’ A voice whispers in my head, but it feels rehearsed. Almost like she’s reading the words off of paper… Or maybe I am…

‘We had to stay hidden.’

‘My mom was unfazed. And as a fully trained, powerful witch I don’t blame her. I’ve seen her take on stronger men.’

Her head is held high, and her hands positioned in front of her like she doesn’t have a care in the world. Like the entrance of this man is something that happens here daily.

‘What happens next is what confuses me… She doesn’t fight back. She lets him end her life right in front of us. She didn’t move as he moved closer and ripped out her heart. She didn’t fight for us. She didn’t fight to make sure we didn’t grow up alone.’

Yvonne whimpers when she hears her mother’s body fall to the floor, and the man’s red eyes snap over to our corner. A slow creepy smile crosses his face, before he turns around and walks out of the hut, leaving them alone with their dead mother.

“Stay here, Yvonne.” I whisper to the little girl, her eyes still squeezed shut.

‘Why did she do that?’

‘Why is this happening?’

‘My mom could take on the world and win. Why did she let this man kill her?’

My body moves, slowly getting up, moving around the old chair and walking closer to their mother.

Their mother doesn’t look like how I would have expected. No wrinkles mar her face, no ugly mole on her elongated nose. Nothing. She just looks like a normal woman, not a single gray in her hair. She looks young, but I know looks can be deceiving.
