THE CURSED LUNA
- CHAPTER FOUR

- THIS IS WHERE THE ROAD ENDS FOR YOU CURSED GIRL AMIRA'S POV

"Don't hurt me please!" I screamed into the darkness as I rolled in the mud. I had been running through the dark forest trying to get away from the man who had tried to attack me.

The dark, carvenous space seemed unending, I could smell the rush of blood which seemed to flow up to my head as I ran through the endless dark woods. The night sky seemed to have a mouth which was open and ready to swallow me whole.

My attacker approached me, his red eyes glowering in the dark. I could see the hate and anger in his eyes as he lifted his clawed fingers and swiped across my chest.

I woke up with a start, sweating profusely to the angry voice of the Head Maid. My eyes dropped close of their own accord, tired and dizzy

"What do you think you are doing?!" The Head Maids voice boomed, breaking through one of my dizzy spells. I did not know she and caught me rolling off to sleep on the dish washer.

"What is wrong with you, Amira!" She roared angrily, her eyes blazing with fire. There was something close to murder within them. Was this how much they hated me? I thought to myself as I struggled to pull myself off the hard wood which was my bed

Even though Alpha Christian had prepared a room for me specially, I still spent my night in the tight, air tight space that was the store room, because I knew that it would only make the other maids treat me with hate and anger.

I opened my eyes to see her glowering at me, her eyes bearing down on me as I arched my back from the pain I felt. I had been having dizzy spells lately, which had barely allowed me to handle any work.

It was six PM already, I knew I was done with all my chores, what else did she want from me?

"Is there something you needed me for, Miss Ava?" I asked looking at her with groggy eyes.

"Isn't there something you ought to be doing? Or do you think you suddenly own the place and so you are allowed to sleep freely as you please?" She asked with sarcasm and vile.

"You are lucky Alpha Christian had even given you a second thought, or you would be out on the street you cursed girl. You have no place here, nobody wants you here, and no, there is absolutely nothing I need you to do for me." She said looking me up and down with anger.

"Luna Vivienne is asking for you, and you better hurry up. Feel free to look disheveled as you already do. You have never looked any better anyway" she chuckled mockingly.

With one horrid glare around the store room, she scoffed and walked out. I heaved a deep sigh, seemingly exhausted and unsure of when all my suffering would end. When I would finally replace a place which was mine, and I would not even have to fight for it.

I put on my flats which Alpha Christian had bought for mein remembrance of the day he had saved my life. It was extremely thoughtful of him, as I had walked barefeet for several months in service to the Moonlight pack.

I straightened my maid's dress, pulling it over my knee. I pushed back a strand of lose hair which hung over my face. I felt tired, but still I had to answer the Madame and replace out what she grandely desired of me, even though they always claimed there was absolutely nothing I could do for them.

I walked into the Mansion to replace Luna Vivienne seated int he living room, her right leg was propped on top the other, and Sheela sat beside her dressed in a red net sleeved top, and silver pants.

Nestled on her lap was her deeply infuriating cat, Chester. Even we all knew the cat was her copy cat. Luna Vivienne gave me one look and a frown passed across her face. I did not know what she had seen or what had instigated the facial reaction, but her eyes continued to glaze over me.

Then suddenly, with a smile on her face, she said, "I need you to go into town. There is a drug store not far from the forest route that would be extremely easier for you to access. I need you to get me my medicine"

I looked out the window, the darkness had begun to cover. Why was I going out through the woods late at night?

"But Ma'am, it is dark outside. Can't I go with one of the drivers? It would be extremely easy to get to town by road" I asked.

"Are you questioning my order?" She asked glaring at me, and I immediately cowered with fear.

"No, no, Ma'am" I said shakily.

"I just meant that it is extremely late outside and dangerous to be walking out in the woods alone" I said hoping she would heed my plea and make a more suitable decision.

"Fine, if that is the case, then Gammah Adrian will escort you" she said easily. My eyes widened and my heart begin to race away within me.

The sound of his name still left a bitter taste in my mouth. I knew exactly what he would do with an opportunity like this one. He would destroy me completely and leave nothing behind.

"No! No, Luna, I will doa s you have said." I replied. Alpha Christian had not yet returned from work, and I had no one else who would have my back, and set me free from this dreadful situation.

"You have an hour at most, and if you are not back here, then consider yourself an outsider. The same thing goes if you flaunt my order. and go AWOL on me because you think my son would support you." She said and I nodded swallowing a hard lump of saliva.

I walked through the eery silence, gasping at every creak and rustle. The darkness was thick, and if not for my ability to see in the dark, I would have fallen into a pit severally.

I was already half way into the woods, when I heard the disturbing sound. Footsteps approached me hastily, as though intending to catch up with Me.

My first thought was Alpha Christian, but before I could breathe a sigh of relief and nurture the hope which rose within me, I saw his large form emerge from the dark trees.

Gammah Adrian, and he was staring at me with that same look, a smirk and murder in his eyes. Without thinking twice I began to make a run for it. I ran blindly, paving hanging leaves and hopping over tree stomps as fast as my eyes could

see.

Until a wave passed in front of me, and there it was, my dizzy spell had suddenly overtaken me, and I fell, headlong into the open ditch in front of me. This gave him the opportunity he needed.

He grabbed me by my neck, and said the words, "This is the end of the road for you, cursed girl"
