Introduction
突然、風が強くなり、私の周りを舞い始めた。その時、私はその香りを嗅いだ。新鮮な刈り取られた草と木屑の香り。大好きな二つの香り。
「その香りが分かるかしら、私の子よ?それを追いなさい」女性の声が聞こえた。
私はそこに座ったまま、迷っていた。初めて声が聞こえた時、母は驚いて心配した。声が聞こえるのは良い兆候ではないと言って、精神科医に診てもらおうとした。私は声に導かれて行動していると説明した。母は「分かったわ。でも、その声に言われたことをする前に、よく考えてからにしなさい。そして、もし対処できないと感じたら、専門家に診てもらえるように私に言いなさい」と言った。今のところ、聞こえる声に従って困ったことは一度もない。だから、この香りを追ってみてもいいんじゃないだろうか?風が再び強くなると、私は柵から飛び降り、その香りを追いかけた。

Chapter 1
ミラソルとジム
嵐の夜だった。激しい雷鳴と屋根を打ち付ける豪雨の音が頭上から聞こえていた。暗い空は絶え間なく光る稲妻によって何度も照らされていた。奇妙だ。天気予報士は今週は良い天気になるだろうと言っていたのに。雷が轟くと家が揺れるのを感じた。ほんの少し前まで、満月が輝き、とても美しく光り輝いていた。そして突然、暗い雲が現れ、月を覆い隠し、怒りの雨を解き放った。
私は食器を洗っていて、夫のジムは家中を回って窓がすべてしっかりと閉まっていることを確認していた。外では風が吠えていた。幸い、動物たちは皆、納屋の中で安全だった。
ジムと私はかなり長い間結婚している。子供を授かろうとしたが、それは実現しなかった。数年前、地元の医師に不妊検査を受けることにした。一連の検査結果が出た後、医師は私に来るように呼び出した。私は彼女のオフィスの真ん中に座り、まるでダーツボードのようだった。最初の一撃...「アラリーさん、あなたは多嚢胞性卵巣症候群、つまりPCOSと診断されました。」二つ目の一撃...「とりあえず排卵を誘発する不妊治療薬を処方して、妊娠できるかどうか様子を見ましょう。」三つ目の一撃...「すべてがうまくいかなければ、体外受精を試すことができます。」私は1年間不妊治療薬を試した。効果はなかった。ジムに体外受精の手順について話したところ、彼はこう言った。「神の御心なら、神は私たちに赤ちゃんをくださるだろう。今はミラソル、私たちが持っているもので幸せで満足していよう。」私は自分の平らなお腹を見下ろした。世の中には、努力もせずに妊娠してしまう女性がたくさんいて、赤ちゃんを置き去りにしたり中絶したりしているのに、ここにいる私は自分の命を別の人間に捧げる用意があるのに、命の贈り物の機会を与えられることはない。人生の皮肉だ。
窓の外を見ながらため息をついた。遠くに車のヘッドライトの一対が見えた。その車は私たちの庭の前に停まっているようだった。車のライトが突然消えた。
「ジム」と私は呼びかけた。「ねえ、私たちの庭の前に車が停まってるわ」
「本当か?」彼は窓越しに見ながら私に尋ねた。「外は何も見えないぞ」
「ええ。今ライトが消えるのを見たの。近所の人かもしれないわ。助けが必要なのかも」
ジムはクローゼットに行き、ライフルを取り出した。「確認してくる。犬たちが吠えてるのが聞こえるな。もしサムだったら、あんな風に唸ったりしないはずだ。ニュースで空き巣被害が増えてるって聞いたし。用心に越したことはない」ジムは銃身を覗き込み、弾が入っていることを確認してから玄関に向かった。
彼がドアを開けて「おい、そこの!」と叫ぶのが聞こえた。
突然、ヘッドライトもつけずに車がキーッという音を立てて走り去るのが聞こえた。私は慌てて手を拭き、ドアに向かうとジムが私を呼んだ。「ミラソル、早く来て。赤ちゃんだ」
困惑した表情で、私は彼の後ろから覗き込み、玄関先にあるバスケットを見た。
フード姿の見知らぬ人たち
まるでカテゴリー5のハリケーンのような雨が降っていた。月の女神は怒り、その怒りを自然の力を通して解き放っていた。そうあるべきだった。彼女のお気に入りの巫女と彼女のアルファの伴侶が、ならず者の領主によって殺されたばかりだったのだから。女神よ、どうか私たち全員に慈悲をお与えください。
私は妹のところに行こうとしたが、手遅れだった。ならず者の領主は彼女の頭を体から引きちぎり、彼女の黄金の瞳は頭が体から転がり落ちても開いたままだった。そして私は彼女の声を聞いた...妹の子犬だ!私は別の部屋に行き、彼女を抱き上げて、できるだけ速く逃げ出した。玄関近くの引き出し式チェストの上にあったロケットを見て、それを掴んだ。子犬を包み込み、私は走って窓から飛び出した。私は心を通じて伴侶に、姪とロケットを持っていることを伝えた。彼は心を通じて、車で会おうと伝えてきた。月は私の一歩一歩を照らし、私が車にたどり着くまで道を照らしてくれた。そのとき、嵐が始まった。
腕の中で眠っている子犬を見下ろした。彼女はまだ知らないが、彼女は偉大なことのために運命づけられている。私はすすり泣き、涙をこらえた。彼女を手元に置いておくことはできなかった。私はそうしたかった。それは妹が望んでいたことだっただろう。しかし私たちの後には殺人的なオオカミの群れがいて、彼らに追いつかれたら、この小さな天使は指をパチンと鳴らすだけであっという間に死んでしまうことを知っていた。
「人間に彼女を預けるのが一番安全だと思う」私の伴侶はフードで顔を隠したまま言った。「彼女を連れていくなら、それは彼女に死刑宣告をするようなものだ」
「誰が彼女を引き取るの?誰かの玄関先に置き去りにはできないわ」
「いい夫婦を知っている。情報収集のために町を訪れた時に、何度か彼らと取引したことがある。誰も私が彼らを知っていることを知らない。彼らには子供がなく、女性は妊娠できるように祈り続けていることを知っている。彼らは自分の娘のように彼女を愛し、守ってくれるだろう。心配するな。彼らは良い人たちだ。今から彼らの家に向かっているところだ」
30分後、彼は突然車を停め、私たちの側にある農家を指さした。窓越しに皿洗いをしている女性が見えた。「ほら、子犬がぬれないようにバスケットに入れて、彼らの玄関に置いておいで」
子犬がバスケットの中で快適であることを確認した後、私は彼女の母親のロケットを彼女の首に掛け、成人するまで彼女を守る呪文をささやいた。最後にもう一度彼女にキスをし、コートのフードを頭にかぶせ、顔を覆うようにした。私は車から飛び出し、家の前まで全速力で走った。犬たちは私の気配を感じ、吠え始め唸り始めた。急いでバスケットを玄関に置いた。振り返って車に戻ろうとしたとき、「おい、そこの!」と男性が叫ぶのが聞こえた。私は車に飛び乗り、「走って!」と言った。私たちは振り返りもせず、暗闇の中をキーッという音を立てて走り去った。
