CHAPTER 10. Cursed

　　Everyone was taken aback when they looked at me, or rather my eyes.

　　I looked at my brother again, who had analyzed everything at this point.

　　"Why do you look terrified of me, Lance?" I inquired.

　　"Astrid," he said, frowning.

　　"Lance," I called him.

　　"What is happening to you, my love?" he tried to approach me but was stopped by a group of people.

　　"Let me go. She's my sister," Lance cautioned.

　　They didn't stop him any further, allowing him to approach me.

　　"What's wrong with me, Lance?" I inquired.

　　I knew there was something that everyone else could see, but I couldn't. My entire body was stinging, especially my eyes, as if a volcano were erupting from them.

　　"She is a witch!"

　　"She's been cast under a spell!"

　　"She carries something terrible within her" "she is cursed" I could hear people passing judgment on me.

　　"Astrid, we have to leave from here," Lance said as he shielded me from everyone's gaze and led me away from the scene.
