HELMI

I’m not sure how long I stare at the rolling green hills. There is nothing else for me to do here other than stare out at the green and hot-pink colors that consume the ground in front of me. I want to feel that grass beneath my bare feet. I don’t know if I ever will again, and that makes me feel sad.

The door swings open, slamming against the wall of the room. Turning around slightly, I watch as Johanna swoops inside. She stops just a few feet from me, wearing an evil, maniacal smile.

“Have you decided to give me your babe yet?” she asks.

Her voice is a deep purr, and I hold my breath as I watch her. I’m not sure what to do, but I do know I will not be giving her permission to take my baby. Hell to the no. I would rather live in the woods, alone, cold, and desperate, but I’d have my baby with me.

“Never,” I grind out. “Not ever.”

“That is your final decision?”

I almost laugh in her face. Is she for real? “Yes, that is my final decision,” I snap.

There is a moment of silence where we stare at one another. I expect her head to spin and for her to start puking green fluid at me. But she doesn’t. Instead, she tilts her head to the side. Her smile doesn’t fade, and she takes a few floaty steps toward me.

“That thing inside of you is mine, whether you want to give it to me or not.”

“Never,” I grind out.

She laughs, her cackle filling the space and bouncing off the stone walls. I consider trying to run past her but decide against it. This baby inside of me needs to stay right where it is, and all I can do right now is protect it with my life. Running past this crazy witchy bitch is not the way to do that.

“Then stay in here with your bread and water until the day you pop that demon out. It will be mine.”

She vanishes before my eyes, and the door slams and locks in the next second. Instead of sinking down to my ass and crying, I decide to turn back toward the window. Placing my hand on my belly, I stare at the rolling hills again for a moment before I close my eyes and think of Karo.

“Save me, my husband,” I whisper to myself, then begin to chant those words over and over.

It has to work. Neòil said I had some kind of magic inside of me. She said she had it inside of her and Soleil too. I just have to find it. Maybe I just have to want to be with Karo enough to make it happen.

Lifting my hands, I lace my fingers together, tipping my head, and I chant to myself over and over. “Take me to Karo. Take me to Karo. Take me home. Take me to Karo.”

Opening my eyes, I expect to be back in Karo’s and my bedroom.
