Once she could see that she could not magically hurt her son, she let him go. <br /><br />But actually, she is just releasing him as the next step in her plan. What's her plan? Well, watch for more installments of The Witch's Son: The Mandrake RuseScott Buryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061034006121401082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23776112.post-3109538958549699302012-03-04T00:31:11.956-05:002012-03-04T00:31:11.956-05:00I don't understand how the mum was a shadow cr...I don't understand how the mum was a shadow creature who was called Helen?

For their relationship, read Dark Clouds and What Made Me Love You?, available FREE at the tabs above.<br /><br />Why did Helen lock Matt up, specifically? You'll have to keep watching to find out.

Therefore, I must have some mercy and let you go, rather than leave you here to starve to death."<br /><br />For more on the relationship between Matt and Helen, see the previous entries in the story of the Witch's Son, "Dark Clouds" and "What Made Me Love You?" in the tabs at the top of the page.Scott Buryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061034006121401082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23776112.post-27370572478515560992012-02-25T15:09:16.207-05:002012-02-25T15:09:16.207-05:00Yes, the jeans tore, because they're just regu...Yes, the jeans tore, because they're just regular jeans.
