"Bomba, come back to me. Please, Bomba, come back to me. I will always love you. You know that, don't you Bombie?" His voice haunted my dreams and his face haunted when I woke. I could never escape his alluring shadow. I knew my sister suffered the same torment as me. We had left the tribe like blind kittens when he called us as we fell deeper and deeper under his spell. When Munkustrap came to save us, Demeter called him her ray of moonlight. I remembered that, when he had walked into our cell and she had exclaimed just that:
"You're like a ray of moonlight."
And to us he had been, our saviour in our dark night but now I doubted even he could save me from this. Macavity. The darkness threatened to claim me again and I knew soon I wouldn't be able to resist the call that sang through my veins. I knew that I would return to him if not today then soon so very very soon
