6 THE SISTERS GRIMM 10th Anniversary Edition TALES FROM THE HOOD MICHAEL BUCKLEY Pictures by PETER FERGUSON AMULET BOOKS NEW YORK
For my friend Joe Deasy
Sabrina had never before felt as confident as she did at that moment For the first time in her life she wasn’t afraid of monsters or villains In fact she was eager for a confrontation Let one of the Scarlet Hand’s thugs try something she would crush them into dust She wanted to tell Daphne how she felt If only she could make her sister understand But the words were too hard to find Her thoughts were cloudy and confused It didn’t help that everyone was shouting and the wind was blasting in her ears Sabrina turned to her sister A swirling black fog circled Daphne’s body blocking out most of the little little girl’s face All Sabrina could see were her eyes like two brilliant suns shining through the darkness darkness You have to fight this Daphne cried from behind behind the fog I know you are still in there Don’t let him control you
