18 Revenge

Somehow, hearing everything Dinah said, made Alyra want to scream, cry, and most of all, find out who was taking control over her, and run away. It was like a thief who steals when no one sees. And it made her feel insecure, because it meant that she was not only at risk, she was the risk.

—And where are you going?—Ellen asked.

After much thought, she just decided that the best thing for everyone would be for her to leave, before she did something she regretted, which is why at the moment, she was ready to leave.

—Anywhere.—The girl replied, pressing the backpack against her body.

Ellen sighed, and consolidated how she could help the girl, she needed to do something, but she didn't know exactly what.

—I know it would be better if I had told you that she would show up.—The woman sighed.—But when I accepted what I was, I had to take the oath that I wouldn't change things much.

Alyra looked at the woman's face, and that was when she remembered, Ellen was a skilled psychic.

—Wait, I had forgotten about that …—The girl chose to think.—When your son threw water at me … You said that if you knew you would have avoided it, right?

The woman lowered her head and just started to connect the pieces, as she had forgotten something so important.

—That is the question, did you know!—She replied.—You knew he was going to do that, how I was going to feel.

—Alyra you have to understand that I …

Ellen had no more to say, it was the first time in a long time that she was speechless, the girl just got up and walked away from her, heading towards the road, to finally leave.

But it was not quite what happened, suddenly Alyra hit the ground, she felt a strong pain, as if something tore at her skin, a groan of pain escaped her mouth, but she soon started to get up .

Already standing, the girl rested her hand on the side of her belly where it hurt, and felt something hot, blood, she probably had hit some sharp stone that did that to her.

Her hair was pulled, and she automatically grabbed the arm of whoever or whatever it was, to loosen the grip.

—Do you really think I'm going to let you go?—this was Josh.—No, not with that here.

He then placed a poster next to the girl's face, it had a drawing very similar to her, on the yellowed paper, written in large letters: “Wanted Jennie”

Below, there was also some information about who should be contacted if they found her.

—Josh, can you let me go? We can talk…—Alyra asked peacefully.

Now that she knew what happened at times when she didn't remember, she was afraid that she would somehow get out of control and do something she shouldn't have, drawing even more attention, everything she didn't want.

—Do you want to talk?—He pulled her even closer.—So it's going to be like that.

The girl took a deep breath, but felt that her patience was becoming increasingly scarce..

Ellen had had a very bad vision of what was going to happen, and for that reason, the woman walked through the forest, and saw the scene that would soon end in a tragedy.

—Josh, release her immediately.—the woman said firmly, approaching where they were.

—Shut up—he replied, making Alyra gasped in amazement.

—Josh, let go of the girl.—Ellen asked again.

Josh then laughs, in indignation, making Alyra even more angry, he looked at his mother and started to say.

—It is your fault! It's because of you that this girl is here, I always knew she was a risk, but nobody listened to me, I told you so much.—Josh said.

—This is the first time anyone has admitted that speaks ill of me behind my back, it is a great feeling.

—You piss me off!—Josh said, taking the girl by the neck, and starting to squeeze slowly.

—Josh, this is your last chance, if you don't stop now, I won't be responsible!—Alyra said warningly.

Ellen could no longer watch that scene, she felt more and more anguished, as a way of freeing the girl, the woman grabbed the man for traps, which in a moment of distraction, released Alyra.

Alyra fell to the ground, and quickly searched for air, closed her eyes trying to contain the dizziness, but when she opened them, she could not see, she moved her head in all directions, as if looking for light, but nothing happened.

She could hear a voice, it was Julien:

—Alyra? What is happening? what do I do?—he asked.

This had never happened before, and this time, not even the supernatural beings present there were able to understand, Alyra's hearing was muffled, but she was able to hear lightly what was happening.

—Let him go, lady.—Ellen heard a voice calling, and immediately looked back

—Who are you?— She asked, confused.

It was the first time that the woman had been wrong, everything happened differently than she thought it would happen, and she felt scared, the feeling of irresponsibility was horrible.

—Little Jennie's mentors.— Celine said with a frightening smile.

—Or should we say, Alyra?—Jimmy said.—Thanks for contacting us.

Josh, just nodded, and kept a proud little smile on his face, seeing Alyra lying on the floor, looking desperate, gave the man a certain satisfaction I hadn't felt for a long time.

—Look at her, crawling like a disgusting animal.—the man said, and kicked her, causing her body to be thrown away.

—No!—Ellen shouted, but Madeleine did the unimaginable.

She snuck up to the woman, and held her head tightly, twisting and breaking it, Ellen was dead.

—MOTHER!—Josh shouted and crouched next to the woman.—Mom, wake up!

—The time has come to pay your debt, don't you think, child?—Said to the girl.
