The ritual was set. Almost a hundred children were attached to the trees. I had use silver chains to avoid their escape. They all were asleep. I wore a magnificent outfit red. It was made out of my wedding dress and it fitted me perfectly. I was surprisingly calm regarding to the situation. Everything had to be perfect. All the children were ready. The wind was blowing through the branches. We could hear the leaves falling on the ground. A cloud protected the monsters from their death until finally the moon starts to show up. I sat on my throne. My weapons were near me. My stomach hurt so much, as if something was growing inside of it. The pain was unbearable. I started to shriek. I fall down on the ground as some of the children awoke. They tried to help me until they realise that they were tied up to the trees. Some of the youngest ones began to cry loudly. Their tears felt on the ground. I knew this sound. I was choking again. The nightmare was real this time. I tore my clothes apart gasping for breath. My abdomen was swelling. I stopped breathing and fainted.
