Chapter 33


    Avery


    “Moon goddess, please help me.” I pleaded in my mind and something miraculous happened.


    Everything I could see paused.


    Fredo was trying to speed to my side but he was stopped in the middle of his


    movements.


    By his action, he nned to grab me.


    I don’t know if I have given Fredo a psychological shadow.


    I don’t know if he thinks I still have a card to y. I feel like he had already establish my image as a


    cunning girl with her hands full of trucks.


    He knew my heart did not agree with him or I wouldn’t have tried to escape so he wanted to catch me


    first.


    When the moon goddess paused the way the world moved, I was able to see him try to grab me.


    If she wasn’t here, I would only hear the wind shift before I would be in his arms.


    He would have caught me like he was catching a chick.


    If I hadn’t called for the moon goddess then, Fredo would have caught me. I would have been at his


    mercy.


    I didn’t want to visualize what he would do to me.


    His previous words had already given me a glimpse of his deranged mentality. I did not want anything


    to do with Fredo.


    He is bad news.


    This time around, the moon goddess didn’t pull me into a white space. appeared in Fredo’s bedroom.


    She


    The only people or thing that can move were just me and the moon goddess. Even the air and the


    miniscule dusts flowing within it seemed to pause.


    The moon goddess was cloaked in a white dress. The color of her dress shone. with a celestial light.


    I walked to her and bowed.


    I felt happy.


    Although I knew that the moon goddess would save me, the fear that she might not heed my call


    remained.


    To me, Fredo was just someone I dislike but now, my image of him had downgraded to the one I would


    attribute to monsters.


    My fate would be one that screams misfortune if I stayed with him.


    If someone like Fredo imed to love me, I would run in the opposite direction instead. I would not


    even entertain the thought of giving him the benefit of doubt. His emotions were scary and deranged.


    “Moon goddess, please take me directly to the location of the omega warriors.” I said and the moon


    goddess smiled.


    At her smile, I felt guilty.


    She told me that the reason I wasn’t allowed to go to the omega warriors‘ camp immediately was to


    grow my experience of the world.


    She wanted me to have knowledge ofbat too.


    Now, I am currently asking her to teleport me there directly.


    I felt like I have let down her expectations somehow.


    I did not want to fail her.


    It was the reason I tried to solve my problems myself. I wanted to show her that I was growing since I


    knew she was watching me.


    My current predicament is impossible to get out of if I used my capabilities so I cried out for help.


    The moon goddess patted my hair softly and all my worries flowed away like an ocean’s receding tide.


    “You didn’t disappoint me. I thought you would have asked for my help sooner. For you to stay this long


    is something that needsmendation. I am proud of you.” The calming voice of the moon goddess


    consoled.


    I did not follow what she was saying until I remembered that she had the ability to read my mind.


    I blushed in embarrassment.


    “Do you want to go to the omega warriors‘ camp now?” The moon goddess asked and I almost nodded


    my head before what I had forgotten came to my mind.


    Fredo had used Diana and her group to threaten me and that is something I would not stand for.


    Without them, executing my escape n would be a lot harder. They had done me a favor by rendering


    necessary help to me.


    I can not let them fall into tragedy and mishap because of me.


    If I leave with the moon goddess like this, my mind would be riddled with guilt for the rest of my life.


    Diana had helped me when I needed information about the unknown ce I was brought to.


    She had approached me first and by her gesture, she saved me from trying to


    befriend other girls without knowing the way the ce runs its activities. She tried to stop me out of my


    n of leaving this ce out of concern.


    I did not want Wi and Ate to be caught up in the results my messes too. Their help had been


    indispensable.


    I wouldn’t have been able to poison the humans in Fredo’s mansion if I didn’t have their assistance.


    Even Sika is included.


    She was not fond of me but she did not betray me by reporting to Miss Freya about my actions.


    I had poisoned Sika’s food as payback for her antagonistic attitude towards me.


    Sika clearly knew the trick I yed on her and everybody in the mansion but she did nothing except


    insulting me with her lips.


    She did not try to obstruct me in what I am doing even with the bad blood between us.


    That act from her was worthmendation.


    “Please, help me save my friends too. Goddess, bring them away from this ce. too.” I requested but


    the moon goddess shook her head.


    I knew she could read my mind so she would have known everything these girls did for me.


    I know the moon goddess is aware that I can’t leave these girls here to a miserable fate.


    I would be unstable if I tried to leave without saving them. I would not be able to do the mission the


    moon goddess gave me wholeheartedly if I am weighed down by guilt.


    Why didn’t she want to help?


    I respected and adored the moon goddess. I really do but right now, only anger surged through me.


    The moon goddess was my benefactor. I couldn’t get angry at her.


    I tried to stump down the rising fury within me.


    There had to be a reason for what she said.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Everything in this world has a reason even if the reason is either a good one or nonsensical one.


    “Why?” I asked.


    The moon goddess looked at me with aplicated emotion on her face.


    “Avery, you are judging this girls with the mentality you have. To them, this ce had already be


    their home and you dragging them away would have the opposite effect of what you wanted.” The


    moon goddess exined and I ruminated on her words.


    My anger had began to decrease and the rational part of my mind came back. The moon goddess was


    right.


    I don’t know how long Diana, Sika, Wi and Ate had been here. I don’t know when Fredo bought


    them.


    They had already adapted to this ce and their original identities won’t be viable for them to use


    again.


    Their families would have epted their disappearance as death and it would be weird if they suddenly


    came back.


    Besides, even if the moon goddess didn’t take them back to their families,


    problems might still crop up. If she takes them elsewhere, Diana and the other girls might not be able to


    adapt well enough to survive.


    The moon goddess was right. I didn’t think my request through before I started ming the moon


    goddess.


    I had not asked of the opinions of these girls before I made the decision to ask the moon goddess for


    help.


    Nobody would appreciate another person deciding their fate without consulting them first.


    I don’t know about other people but I knew myself. I hate it when people tried to control my fate.


    For the first part my life, I was under the control of people that are more powerful than I am.


    I hated the moments I couldn’t decide my fate.


    Alpha Bryan would not have tried to give me away to Alpha Jake as a way of furthering his affiliations if


    I was someone powerful enough.


    “What should we do for them? I can’t just leave them here like this.” I said worriedly.


    “The only way I can help you without disturbing their lives is for me to erase their connection to you


    from everybody’s memories.” The moon goddess said and my heart jumped in excitement.


    “If nobody remembers their rtions to me, Fredo would not be able to use them. to threaten me.


    Diana and the other girls would be safe from Miss Freya’s wrath then. The more I spoke, the more my


    excitement climbed.


    This was the best solution!


    “Do you want to leave now?” The moon goddess asked.


    I nodded to her question.


    I can now go the the omega warriors‘ camp with peace of mind.


    The moon goddess smiled at me and I felt the world before me spun.


    When my eyes cleared up, I found myself in a room with walls decorated with


    murals and a statue of a woman holding a wolf pup.


    My heart dropped.


    I knew the moon goddess won’t deliberately take me to a ce that would hurt. me but this scene


    before my eyes reminded me of Nara.


    Nara had wanted to sacrifice me to a statue of the moon goddess.


    The hut I woke up in after I copsed from stress had murals and other simr decoration in it.


    This ce the moon goddess teleported me to had a lot of resemnce with Nara’s hut so it brought


    up memories of my bad experience.
