"We have a peeper here"
The devil eyed man continued with that evil smile still pasted on his lips.
"It seems I should teach this princess a lesson. Don't you agree Susan?"
The devil eyed man said, and when he did the temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees. Sending Goosebumps along Andrianna's skin. But she stood ground, she would protect her mother.
"Come here, princess."
"I said leave my mother alone. I will not let you hurt her"
The devil eyed man threw his head back laughing a full throaty laugh that echoed through all of time.
"You want to save your mother then come here and get her," the devil eyed man said while holding out her mother's hand.
Andrianna walked to them, scared. Her tiny feet trembled as she took each step towards the devil eyed man. Knowing fully well that she might die tonight. But it would be worth it. At least she would save her mother.
When she reached her mother, her little hand reached out tenderly to her mother. She had not noticed the devil eyed man's hand reaching for her neck. But it was too late when she did.
Leaving her mother the devil eyed man wrapped his other hand around her waist pulling her to his heavy body. The hand around her neck tightened, obstructing her air supply.
Andrianna had barely gotten a scream out of her throat before she felt dizzy. Letting out loud gasps; trying to breathe in the air she heard her mother's laughter. Cheering the devil eyed man to go on. To end Andrianna's life once and for all, to set her mother free. She knew it was the result of the magic powder the devil eyed man gave her earlier.
Her mother was under a spell. She only thought that she wanted Andrianna dead, when the spell would fade away her mother would regret saying that. She would feel sorry. And for that Andrianna forgave her mother.
As she felt her life drain away from her, the ring of her mother's sweet voice filled her ear. She knew she was going to die any minute now. Black spots formed in front of her eyes, her vision was blurring. Her head hurt, her throat burned and a loud ringing of numbness registered her senses. This was it.
"Stop! What are you doing?" she heard Francis's voice in that last-minute before her body shut down completely and her limp body collapsed on the floor as the devil eyed man dropped her on the floor.
She closed her eyes, vaguely aware of the thud of her body. Vaguely aware of a pair of arms wrapping around her limp body and the angry voice of her nanny.
