Chapter 182 The Infected Goat

“Rashes or papules show up with a lot of illnesses. It’s not just this one.”

The little goat nodded over and over.

“It’s true, really! I had it already, just like the other kids. But I got better in a couple of days!

“Oh, and before she left, the old shaman gave me a pouch. Told me to bury it by the mud near the water.”

“What?! She gave you a pouch, and then you got sick after that?”

“Yeah! Right after.

“But our place is up on the ridge. All the sheep live up there. I’m the only kid. I’m an only child! So my dad and mom took care of me, and I was fine!”

Annelise locked eyes with Riven.

Then she turned to the kid. “Hey, sweetheart, can you take me to the spot where you buried that thing?”

“Uh-huh, sure!”

The little lamb trotted ahead, bouncing as he went.

His arms swung as he walked. There were a few small scars scattered across them.

They looked exactly like the pockmarks that came from recovering from smallpox.

At this point, Annelise was fully convinced. What she wanted now was to find out if that vile shaman was really behind it all.

They reached the muddy bank by the river soon after.

It was the middle of winter, and the water was completely frozen.

The ground was just as stiff.

The goat pointed. “It’s over there! I’ll dig it up!”

He ran over with those little stubby arms and started scooping. It didn’t take long before he pulled out a cloth-wrapped bundle. “Here! This is it! This one!”

Annelise stepped over and cracked it open. Inside was a chunk of ice.

She didn’t hesitate. She threw it down right away.

“Riven, burn it!”

“Got it,”

In a flash, the entire thing was ash.

Riven didn’t stop there. He scorched the entire patch of ground just to be sure.

Only when he was finished did Annelise speak. “That hal to be frozen pus from someone who had

smallpox!

“What the hell was that?! That witch!”

She was holding onto it this whole time, just waiting for the right moment.

No way that thing appeared by accident. It had to be stored.

Once she got caught and locked up, there was no way she could’ve snuck off to another camp to grab some virus and sneak back in.

“She probably didn’t just plant one trap.”

Annelise muttered it under her breath, then looked back at the little goat.

That poor thing was an only child.

That twisted witch had manipulated a baby. A literal baby.

She must’ve known he’d get infected..

He was young. No real spirit energy. Male. And he made direct contact.

If it had been a grown shifter, they might’ve caught on.

She was evil. Just evil.

She deserved the worst. Every last generation of her.

Thank God this kid made it through.

If he had died-so small, so sweet-Annelise would’ve lost it.

“Did she ask you to do anything else?

“Or maybe ask any of your little friends to help her with anything?”

“Umm… let me think. I buried a bunch of stuff. Three or four spots, I think. I’m not sure about the other kids.

“By the way, miss, what did she do wrong? Why’d she run away?

“She was always so nice to me. Always gave me yummy treats. I thought she was really good.

“But my mom and dad say

she’s super

bad…”

Annelise didn’t know how to answer.

She didn’t want to dump too much on a kid, and none of it could really be explained anyway.

That woman deserved to die. No question.

She hurt a child. Used him. Tricked him. Turned his trust into a weapon.

“Can

you take

me to the other spots?”

“Yup!”

The little goat took off again, bouncing like nothing had happened.
