Ok. So Itās been awhile. I havenāt been at the house since August attacked me. Not until today anyway. He killed another person on the block, I think thatās how heās managed to stay⦠together⦠while I was gone. The police suggested I stay somewhere else until they can solve the murders, but Iām the solution. Iām the only one who can stop the killing.
So I went home. August was nearly invisible, running out of energy fast. The wild look in his eye dulled as I pulled out the tarot cards.
āThere, August, The Fool reversed. That means new beginnings, but youāre hesitant to embrace them.ā
āWhat kind of new beginnings?ā He eyed me suspiciously. I did the only thing I could to save my remaining neighborsā lives. I held out my hand to him. He took it and the cold washed over me, I could feel myself growing heavy as he fed, syphoning off my energy. I shook uncontrollably, my teeth chattering so hard it hurt. My heart felt like quivering jelly in my chest. The room went blurry. And then he was gone, I was alone in the icy room.
Why would she do that?!
I get the guilt over him killing her neighbors, though...
This doesn't seem like it will end well for our narrator!
