Waning Moon

The talent of attracting troubles really did run in my mother's and my blood. My father had told me how she used to get into all those troubles, playing the damsel in distress, and he'd save her all the time. She had been very fragile then, but she'd survive.
Yet now, the nightmare came back in an unexpected return, and shocking surprise. I was stronger than she was then, yet why couldn't I protect those I love.
I panicked as she came closer, leering in glee.
