Chapter Fourteen

“Where am I?” I said, as I opened my eyes, I sat up and looked around. It was the same room I had in the bloody moon pack, what was going on? How did I get back here? Or was it all a dream? I thought a lot about what was going on until I saw Marcus. “How are you feeling now?”. He said, “I'm feeling better thank you.

But, I'm concerned, did anything happen to me?” I asked, “A lot has happened in the sphere of two weeks but here we are today. “ He said, he was talking in parables and I couldn't decipher what he was talking about but I knew I was safe now.

I stood up and started walking around and I could see they were preparing for something. What is going on? I asked Marcus. “Blair, everything in this world will surely end one day, and everything we planned to be or would be all have a price and the price for you to pay which you run from would all come back to haunt you when it's time let everything go because the ritual you skipped, is now back to haunt you. You have to complete the ritual now. I'm sorry, everybody in the pack is already thinking you caused their dilemma and this is the only act of sacrifice you can offer.

Everything you are and everything you'll be all depends on this sacrifice you're about to make. I'm sorry but this is goodbye between us and this is how it'll all end. I came to tell you goodbye before the procession, I gave you hope and I came back to take it. It's painful and I'm hurt. Everything is happening this way but I know you have an idea in heaven your father would be happy to see you.” He said.

So this is it, the end for me. After every pain I have felt running away from the life I always wanted to live, none of it mattered and none of it still matters. I'm lost in this dilemma and now my world has no meaning to anyone and to myself.

I looked around and I felt the pain, maybe this was what I was really meant to be, maybe this sacrifice was what I was meant to be, “thank you, Marcus, since I met you, you've been the source of the little happiness I've felt, I'm sorry that my I'll fate met you too, I'm sorry I had to be who I am but I'm glad I met you, every story has an end and I know this is the end of the story for me, I don't really have any choice anymore, or there was no choice from the beginning but thank you for being in my life for the short period I really appreciate you.” I said as subtle tears ran down my cheeks.

“The ritual will start soon, let's go,” Marcus said as we started walking and I saw Luther, then all my pack members were present. I could see the happiness in their eyes as their only dilemma was going to end, the priestess was there and she was about to begin the procession, I looked at the slab and remembered how my father had come out saying he wouldn't allow me to die on the slab “dad, I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill your plan and here I am going away on the slab you saved me from.

It was my destiny, I guess my little knowledge caused everything but I know we'll be fine in the end. Dad I love you so much and I'm coming to meet you soon. I hope you're in a nice place, waiting to see your angel coming into your arms.” I said to myself while crying, the priestess started the incantation and it went on and on while I sat there. People were offered drinks and food and they all looked at me like this was right for me to die, and I believed that I should really go away.

Luther came up and talked “I'm glad everyone is present, after the recent happening which we barely resolved and made it out alive, we would make the sacrifice everyone has been after and thinking is the cause of the bad fate we have been facing we hope the moon goddess forgives us and help us achieve everything we want without pain and stress.

My mind went back to the recent happening and a lot was going on in my mind thinking about what exactly happened down there and why it needed me to die to keep everything off their back, I really didn't know anything, the moon's goddess was wicked and she did me badly, but what else could I do, I was just going to let it all go her way, she's the controller and I'm controlled, I barely have I choice. I closed my eyes as I placed my head on the slab and everything went quiet, so this is how I'll finally go out, the cursed child's life is ending and it's a win-win for everyone, thank you world.

“Stop, you can't kill her, she's not at fault, I won't allow it.” He said, who's that and what exactly is he saying? I was expecting the cold touch of the blade so I didn't open my eyes, nor raise my head but after a while commotion started and I didn't understand what was happening.

I raised up my head to check out what was happening and I saw Luther piercing the skin of his own men trying to avoid them touching me, “what's going on!!” I shouted and they all went silent. Luther looked at me, “I'll protect you, I won't allow you to die.” He said, and I couldn't bring it all “What exactly is going on? Why are you saying all this? Let me cancel my curse and go away from your life. You organized the ritual. Why are you now saying they shouldn't allow it?” I said, but he didn't budge.
