Chapter Nineteen

Avoiding Death Again

~Freya~

After today's work, we went back to the cottage. Just like yesterday, we all took our spots. Throughout the day I have not been myself because I keep getting afraid. I do not know what better plan I can come up with to get out of this mess. I prayed to the Moon goddess as I have always done. Despite the bad things that have happened to me, I still have faith. At least I should be grateful that I was still alive.

At midnight someone comes again, this time the person stands for a while and then approaches where I lay sleeping. He points at me

"You! Follow me." He ordered.

My heart skipped a beat. It was beating so fast. I had a feeling I would be picked tonight but I kept myself in a state of denial. I could sense Lauren moving uneasily on the floor. I knew she wasn't asleep, she was probably worried for me.

I followed the man as he instructed. Finding a way out of this mess was all I could think of. We went into the main house and Madam was sitting there.
