Mickey led her to a chair.She sat down and he sat next to her.“Everyone, this is Selene and she is Sharon’s granddaughter.”
“So she was a grandmother,” King said.
Nodding her head, Selene replied, “The best grandmother in the world.”
“She took care of you?”King asked.
“Yes, she taught me everything she knew.She was my mom, dad and granny.”
“How did you get to the swamp, sha?”Maudie asked her.
“I was born to parents that did not want me.They brought me to Sharon and dumped me there.”
“I love your eyes,” Bethy told her.“Like they are so blue.”
Selene looked over at her as she looked shocked.“You do?”
“And your hair,” Renee added.“It is so pretty.”
Leeza nodded.“Like spun silk.”
Maudie agreed with them, “You look like the goddess you were named after.”
Selene gasped and looked over at her now.“How did you know about that?”
Maudie nodded at her.“I heard your name in a dream.I am so glad you came to us.”
“Why?”Selene asked her outright.
“Why?”Maudie repeated.“Because I felt that you were in danger.”
“How can you know such a thing?”Selene asked skeptically.
“She has special abilities,” King answered this.
Sonny nodded.“We trust what she says.”
“Maudie has saved our lives...many times,” Clive added.
“They came to my cabin,” Selene admitted as she stared at Maudie.
“They?”Mickey asked her.
“She means Jude and Jasmine,” Maudie said.
“I think they saw me when I tried to listen to their conversation the day before.Then I went and told Mickey about them.Now I can’t go home.So I came to warn you all about them.”
Boomer finally spoke up, “What did you hear?”
With a gasp, Selene jumped at his loud voice.
Mickey shook his head at Boomer.“You scared her.”
