Curse Me, Curse You
I figured the Moon Goddess must have given me one last chance to bid my goodbyes to my family.
"We're going to your favorite restaurant today, Natali. Go get ready upstairs—we'll be waiting for you in the driveway!" Mom said.
Natali replied, "Alright! I'll go get changed into the dress Kent bought for me!"
It was Mom's voice—and both Dad and Kent were here too.
Ignoring the blood dripping from my body, I grabbed the farewell letter I prepared in advance and staggered out of the woodshed, leaning against the wall for support.
Just as I was making my way to the driveway, I almost bumped into Natali, who was about to head indoors. She was shocked to see me.
