Chapter 56

Abby couldn’t believe her eyes when she found herself staring at her younger self from ten years back. The shock she felt was inexplicable when she was actually brought back to the very

ry day her whole life changed no less.

With her eyes impossibly wide, Abby saw her nine year old self actually walking to the fireplace with this strange expression on her face.

Abby couldn’t understand why her younger self was looking like she was actually excited to go near the fire and play with it. No, if she had to be honest, the tween actually looked like she was longing to

ouch the fire with her bare hand,

This was so different from the memories at the back of her mind.

She remembered how she caused the fire clearly, but this tween self of herself didn’t move from the fireplace for a long time while her eyes kept darting to the door every five seconds.

It was as if she had ulterior motives other than simply wanting to see a big fire erupt like her own memory indicated.

Moreover, the tween in front of her looked more mature for her age with clear eyes and all, nothing like the timid girl like her current older self.

Abby was flabbergasted. It was like she was staring at someone else completely, who just looked impossibly similar to herself.

After all, how was it possible for someone to actually experience this kind of thing?

Was this witch trying to pull another trick on her? She was so bizarre, Abby couldn’t make heads and tails of any of her actions.

But then the pack house, the room, even the fireplace was so familiar to her, Abby couldn’t deny the tween in front of her was her own younger self.

This was all so confusing, coupled with the way her head was throbbing, Abby wanted to just up and leave this memory lane and the witch’s hut in an instant.

However, Abby felt her soul leave her body when she saw the younger Abby do something even more outlandish from the corner of her

eyes.

The small girl’s hand was in flames, while she just stood there without doing anything to put out

the fire.

Abby wanted to scream at the top of her lungs to make the tween understand fire could be dangerous and she could get hurt.

“Get away from there!” Abby shouted.

However, no matter how loud she screeched, the small girl couldn’t hear her. Abby felt her whole frame shaking with fear for the girl, who was none other than her younger self, she actually forgot she was currently looking back into a possible memory and not at something that was happening
