Lilith's POV

It was a new day.I woke up early, staring at the sun as it rose over the woods and the fresh air filled my lungs. The woods were a bit dark and the cool breeze was pleasant after a night's sleep. I was awake, earlier than usual and I had plenty of energy to start the day and tackle my list of chores.Although three weeks had passed since my arrival, nothing truly bad had happened. I was expecting some kind of chaotic event to occur, but the atmosphere remained calm. I began to wonder why Goody had asked me to be in this time why she asked that day why did she asked me to come so early in time when everything was still tranquil. I didn't understand why there was no turbulence that I could see yet.I didn't help with anything now. Was she asking me in a more subtle way to kill Crackstone now? What was the purpose of her telling me to come to that exact day if in that day nothing happens or the day before or 3 weeks from then?

Goody stops my thoughts when she looks at me with a puzzled expression. She asks,

"Are you good? Why are you up so early? You look tired." I look at her with an unreadable expression .

"Sorry, did I wake you?'' I ask looking at her.

'' No, you didn't but go sleep; it's still early and we have a lot to do today."

She takes my hand and leads me into our shared bedroom, where I lay down and try to get back to sleep.For some reason, I had a vivid dream of Goody. The whole scene was foggy and I couldn't quite grasp the surroundings. I could see Goody clearly but everything else was blurry. She was talking to me, but it didn't make sense. I couldn't make out the words that she was saying. In the dream, Goody looks scared. Her facial expression is one of fright and worry, as if something had happened that was out of her control. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is slightly open as she glances around, searching for something.I find yourself in the woods with Goody. She stares at me, and her eyes don't look so scared anymore when she sees me; instead, her eyes look sorrowful and sad. Her expression softens as she runs towards me crying hard. This was a complete reversal of her previous expression, which made me wonder what had happened.The dream suddenly melts into my consciousness with an adrenaline rush. My body was drenched in sweat as I woke up with a sharp inhale and a loud gasp. The dream was so vivid and real that I felt like I had been personally involved in it. As I try to compose myself, I look over at Goody who is sleeping peacefully next to me. She is unmindful of my dream and rests on her side, facing away from me. Her breathing is slow and gentle, and her features are relaxed and peaceful. In this moment, I cannot help but admit to myself that she looks like an angel as she sleeps.I get up from the bed and go to the kitchen, searching for Rosa. As I walk down the hallway, I notice a sudden smell of rotten eggs filling the air. I keep walking, ignoring the smell and searching for any signs of Rosa.As I approach the kitchen area, I see a dark figure standing in the corner. The figure turns to look at me, revealing a grinning face surrounded by shadows.I feel a chill run down my spine as I realize who I'm dealing with. Crackston,he stands before me, grinning at me with his sharp, pointed teeth. "I know what you are, Lilith," he hisses, his voice filled with malice. I suddenly feel vulnerable and scared, as if I was being hunted down.He stares at me for a moment, eyes narrowing as he tries to gauge my reaction. When I remain calm, his anger starts to boil over.

"I know you're not a human and I will prove it to this town and you will be burned alive!" he screams at me, his voice ringing off the walls. He seems to have no intention of backing down and is prepared to do anything to kill me. I can feel the tension rising between us, as if the air itself is about to explode with rage and fury.Goody wakes up and looks at Crackstone with wide eyes. "Mister Crackston, do you need anything?" she says. Crackstone doesn't respond to her and just walks out of the small house, leaving Goody behind. I look at her with concern, wondering what Crackstone is up to.

''What happened ?''she asked concerned.

"Nothing, let's get to work," I reply, trying to appear stoic and unfazed by the confrontation. Goody looks at me with concern, but I smile fake at her, trying to reassure her that everything is okay. I know that if I do one more thing to upset Crackstone, he will punish Goody and Rosa. With these thoughts running through my mind, I feel my stomach tightening with anxiety and fear.
