Lucette woke with a start. Where was she? She spotted a quilt hanging over the end of the bed, woven in a multicolored diamond pattern. At the foot of the bed was a plain chest made of a light wood with big brown knots, and next to it was her own traveling chest, metal covered in leather, the royal crest embossed on top.

She was in her bedroom at her grandparents’ house.

A candle burned on the table beside the bed, and her sleeping mother’s arm was draped across her. The last thing she remembered was petting that lamb. Foolishly, stupidly petting that lamb—with a bare hand. She wasn’t entirely sure what had happened, but there must have been something sharp stuck in its wool—a thistle, perhaps.

She’d done it. She’d brought the curse down, not only on herself but on every citizen of Xandra. Fighting tears, she carefully lifted her mother’s arm off of her, and then realized that no matter how rough she was, her mother wouldn’t wake up.

After setting her mother’s arm under the duvet, she kissed her sleeping face.“I’m so sorry, Mom. So sorry.” She got out of bed and spotted a note left for her next to the candle.
