The Curse

That’s when I saw her!

“Jasmine? My God!” I gasped.

“Don’t look at me!” she cried as she continued to
transform back to her original state.

“This is a family curse from generations ago, every
female in my family once they turn 12 becomes
a soucouyant when the moon is full and has to
drink blood in order to survive – I have no control
over it.”

I looked at her astonished.

She continued, “My great-great-great-
grandmother made a deal with the devil for
money, but she didn’t know that as a result, every
female from generation to generation would be
cursed as a soucouyant. Please help me!” she
begged.
