A curse

When the doctors start to move. Maria shouts at them. “NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE!” Shouting at the top of her lungs. Halting everyone’s movements.

Then she forcefully pulls me out of the room and shouts angrily at me. “YOU CAN’T TAKE HER THERE RIGHT NOW. IT IS NOT SAFE.

“FIRST BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW EVERYONE KNOWS HER CONDITION AND TWO BECAUSE WE HAVE A FEW HOURS UNTIL THE CRESCENT FULL MOON APPEARS.

“WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN WHEN YOU ARE STRIPPED OF YOUR POWERS TODAY ON THE FULL MOON…. WHEN YOU BECOME COMPLETELY POWERLESS…

“YOU WILL BE ALL ALONE WITH NO ONE BESIDE YOU AND VULNERABLE WITH HER IN HER CURRENT CONDITION INSIDE THE PACK…I AM SCARED… WHAT IF THEY SUCCEED AT AN ATTEMPT ON YOUR LIFE?

“YOU ARE PUTTING BOTH OF YOU IN DANGER. I WOULD RATHER WE TERMINATE THE PREGNANCY IF IT COMES TO THAT… THAN SEE YOU GO TO THE PACK TODAY.”
