The Night of the Bloodmoon

It was a lonely night in Abuela’s room as the only sight of light was the curtain slowly swaying with the draft throughout the house. Abuela was lying on the floor, motionless, locking out her foster parents until a dark red peering through the window caught her eye, she jolted up curiously walking towards the shady vermillion shining from the sky. She looked through the window as something beautiful caught her eye, something she had never seen before, a blood moon, she was fascinated and stood there for a moment. Abuela felt tingly as something was dragging her in, the connection she felt was unreal nothing she has felt before, she wonders what the blood moon is trying to tell her.
She continues to ponder for some time, then eventually notices something has been slid under the door, it’s a dark leather book with a strap and writing in the middle, it looks old with scratches and dust, but she gently places it in her palms flicking through the dusty pages. She continues to scroll and discovers old black and white photos with a man and women with a child, she is confused but keeps flicking through the pages until she comes across a family tree with a bunch of people but at her surprise the very bottom had her name,” Abuela Sanchez” and above her name were two people with the same surname.
She froze looking back at the photos of the man and woman with the child, she squints her eyes glazing all the children’s features realising the kid in all those photos were her. Her eyes grew bigger as her heart started pounding, she finally saw what her real parents looked like and how she grew up, a small grin swept across her face until flicking through the next page. It was an article of a car crash, she reads through until seeing the names of her real parents, a tear leaves her eyes she couldn’t believe her parents were dead she looked back at the picture one last time as a blood moon was in the corner of the photo. She closes the book as she walks back
over to her windowsill and glares back at the Bloodmoon and realises that her parents were watching, she smiles at the moon knowing they loved her, and she
drifted back to sleep.
