Enter Three Witches (2013)
“Her mother seemed to have gone out. Shadow, curled in a corner near the hearth, slept the patient sleep of a dog whose expectations have been disappointed. Only the presence of Luna, who trailed behind her, and the spectral voice of Madame Lavatky gave evidence of life in the still center of the day.
Though sunlight slanted through the windows of every room, Miranda felt the afternoon to be darkening around her. She was uneasy and she felt unwell. Her night had been troubled by vaguely menacing... dreams, but she had thrown them off in the interest of motherhood and pancakes. Now the object of these good impulses was gone, and the feeling of fear evoked by her dreams came back in force. “Someone is trying to do me harm,” she muttered to the cat, and Luna growled deep in her throat. Miranda put her hand to her head. A sharp pain had just shot through it from temple to temple. Now it was gone, but it left a dull ache behind. Her stomach also hurt, as if something inside was trying to gnaw its way out.MoreLess
