Lexie looked at her mother very shocked because she dared to hit her. She certainly was not a kid but she kept on acting recklessly her whole life.
She always did what suited her the most, and that is what made her mother go crazy when she followed a kid after the triple full moons started
"You only think about yourself, you never considered your family before your actions"
"Why are you saying this when all I had in life were you all? I lived for you for the past 18 years, I worked like men do just to give you all that you needed, and at the end, you say this to me !"
"Seeing you running like that towards the kid was not acceptable, you are risking your life and our lives, not with just the triple full moons but with Chris the leader"
"Mom, he is just a little kid, he doesn't desrve to be left alone in such a night, most adults don't survive the horrors of this night and you ...my mom....want me to leave him out there? ," Lexie argued.
"I know, but this is not acceptable"
The next thing that happened was her wiping her cheek to relieve the pain from her mother's slap, then she said with a strong attitude:" I guess that your kids need you more, me …mom, i will just help the kid because he needs my help"
Lexie walked away with no regrets, she witnessed a lot in her life to reach this point of ignorance, when she had to sacrifice her whole life for them it was only that convenient, but now…now she was a risk".
Her mother touched her red swollen cheek and then said:" I am sorry Lexie, i didn't mean to hit like this, i am scared, you are all i have and all i can rely on after your dad's death, i only have you, i am not saying that you have become a risk, you are not a risk, however…i see the changes in the district and they are not going for any better my dear…that man…the leader Chris is not going to bring any good to the district, and i know that because he is only thinking about himself"
" I am going now to save the kid"
Her mother grabbed her hand, and said:" Our neighbor Arino was threatened because he wanted to help the people who were imprisoned in the open air, that is why i am so afraid that he is going to find out and kill you"
" I will not go for a long time, once I find the kid, I'll make sure to hide him, and not be discovered by his guys" Lexie was holding a tear in her eyes.
Her mother was scared, but Lexie couldn't just forget what she said and did to her in the process, so she walked away without saying a word.
The forest next to her house was very dark, no one was outside, Lexie found it difficult to even see, so she made a light spell and started to walk across the forest where she might find the kid.
The light spell was not that hard because it was not creation magic, it was an absorption spell, it was basically based on absorbing the light in the morning to use it whenever they needed.
The spell was one of a lot of spells that people used for a long time to bring light to the darkness, and the majority of people on Delwias Island were using it.
She wondered in the forest for a long time, she saw a red and purple aurora in the sky in a place very close to her, she was very scared yet she had to find a way to help the kid, or she was going to be troubled by what was going to happen to him for a long time.
Seconds after that she heard screams nearby; those were not a kid's screams but adults and that is why she hesitated to go there before she made up her mind and got closer to that place .
As she was walking step by step the weather started to feel much hotter, a light started to appear too as she got closer to the place where she heard the screams.
Now, she was sure that there was a fire burning the forest, if a fire started in this place it would have reached her house certainly and that is why she got closer to that place ignoring all the signs of danger in front of her…a few people were already dead mercilessly, she examined them with her eyes fast then looked on the road ahead of her that looked like the path that the dark creature walked through it.
Hundreds of bodies were torn apart and thrown in different places in that path, a few of them were on the ground, and some of them were on the trees, and a few of them Lexie couldn't even know if they had been eaten or something because there were only parts of them..
She tried so much to not panic in such a scene, she was holding her scream as much as she walked on that path, for her sake, she tried not to cause any sounds so that the beast won't return to get her too, she was very sick with the view that she had to see in that place.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| ' I have to stay strong' She thought but her heart was beating fast, she was afraid that the beast would return if it heard her heartbeat that was very loud the more she walked.
After seeing the dead bodies in the forest, she gave up on following after the kid. She just gave up thinking that she would find him among them. As she returned home, tears rolled down her cheeks for him.
Only a few meters left to reach her house when she saw a shadow moving inside of a tree branch. After all she saw that night she thought that it might be a monster, but when she looked closer the kid that had special features looked at her with crying eyes.
