Flutter (40 page)

Matt dove at her but not before the
blade tore through my dress and slashed across my stomach. Blood
stained my clothes as pain shot through me, and I sobbed
hysterically. My mother fought hard against Matt, unwilling to let
go of the knife.

“She killed your brother, Mathew!”
my mother insisted, looking at him with frantic eyes. “She’s a
monster! She has to be stopped!”
