His Sun Her Moon

Chapter Thirty

I wake up to the girls crying. Michael wants to help me but I make him go back to sleep. He doesn’t really rest like he should. So I change them and feed them. I walk to the kitchen. I get a drink of juice. I stop at the doorway. Michael is sleeping peaceful.          

I wash the glass and put it up. I see a shadow run into the woods from our back door. I walk to the back door. I turn the light on. I unlock the door. I step outside onto the back porch.

I call out, “Hello who is there? Are you okay do you need help?”

I walk down to the ground, “Hello?”

I look back at the house. I see someone’s head peeking out from being the tree that my swing in on. I walk to the tree.

I scream, “MICHAEL!”

I am crying. Michael rushes to my side. He has his arm wrap around my waist holding me up. He roars out in anger in sadness. Someone has murder Irene and place her head on a pike our back yard.

They left a note saying the war just has begun.

Who did this! Why did they do this for! Why would they hurt Irene for!

Zac, Joc, Al and Nic rush to us. Zac falls onto the ground he is crying. Michael is holding me up still. Al and Nic rush to us. We all are crying.

I pull away from them, “Oh my gods what have I done?”

Al says, “Mom, you didn’t do this.”

Nic says, “Oh no.”

“I killed Ezekiel.” I fall down to the ground.

Michael grabs my hands because I start digging at my skin. I am saying I am a killer. Michael holds me down so I can’t hurt myself. I cry until I can’t cry anymore.

Michael calls Renee, “Oh my gods.”

“Renee, please give Ilona something to make her sleep.” Michael says to her, “Afterwards can you pick mom’s head up and location her body please.”

Renee is crying cause Irene is the person who told her she could be the clan’s doctor. She could do this job just as well as her father did. Why did they attack her for? What did she ever do to a person to be murdered like this.

Renee gives me a shot and I pass out in Michael arms, “Tomorrow everyone will know about mom. Tomorrow I am going to need your help with your mom.”

Nic says, “We will help her get pass this.”

Michael says, “We will find out who did this to our mother, Zac.”

Joc is hugging Zac, “Joc, I am counting on you to keep him level head.”

Dodge and Tressa run up and stops at the scene, “Oh my gods is that no it is not true.”

Dodge holds Tressa’s up. Dodge is hugging her. All of them are crying. All of us will never be the same again. I remember that I had murdered Michael and Zac’s father. I was sick of the threat he was to my children and me. Something inside of me snap and I had done the thing I always had preach to our sons about. I could have walk away that night because I should have. I was afraid and I was sick of feeling afraid of him.

I wake up later on the next day. Michael kneels in front of me. He cups my face with his hands. He is looking at me.

“Ilona?” I look at him, “I am sorry about mom.”

Michael hugs me, “I need you here with me please, firebird.”

I nod my head to him, “I will try Michael.”
