All Hallows' Moon
“I’ve got a present for you.”Sleep peeled away from Seth slowly. It was like trying to pull himself out of a pit of quicksand. But when he saw his mother’s face over his, with a knife in her hand, he came to his senses with a shock.He tried to jerk away from her, but there was nowhere to go. She had tied his wrists and ankles behind his back. His limbs were completely numb.Seth was in the same place he had spent the night—the storage space beneath their mobile home. He spent all day struggling to get free by rubbing the ropes against the edge of a wooden post, but he hadn’t gotten anywhere. Spiders had been crawling on him for hours.Somehow, the worst part wasn’t being hogtied by Eleanor and shoved under the dark floor of a trailer. It wasn’t having a wolf spider spend half the night on his cheek, either. The worst part was imagining what his mom might do to Rylie while he was bound.“Mom,” he growled. It came out sounding like an insult.She rolled him over and sliced the ropes off his wrists.
