Crystal had never told her husband of the deal she had made. However, her daughter turned 16 today yet the day was almost over and there was no sign of that wretched leprechaun. Perhaps he'd forgotten or no longer cared.

Blow out the candles and make a wish Catherine Maurice said with a smile.

"I wish...."

Those were the words I had been waiting to hear so I appeared in the room. "Tis been 16 years right down to the day you gave your daughter away." The leprechaun said with a smile looking over at Catherine.

"I didn't mean what I said, I was delirious. Please, don't take my daughter from me."

"A bargain we made this is true and now I've come for what I'm due!" The leprechaun replied with a snap of his fingers a gold necklace appeared around Catherine's neck. "I shall not relent you knew very well what our deal meant." With that Catherine and the leprechaun disappeared into the night.

"No!" Crystal cried as she watched them disappear into the night. "Why did I ever make that deal?" Now she would never see her daughter again and it was all her fault.
"What deal?" her husband asked coming alongside.
"I... " Crystal's voice trailed off.
"What have you done?" Her husband asked with a growl.
Crystal couldn't look her husband in the eyes. So instead she looked up at the night sky and noticed a full moon starting to show. "Oh no" she moaned placing her face in her hands.
"Answer me!" her husband growled grabbing her by her shirt collar and pulling her towards him so that she was inches from his face. His leprechaun features were starting to show and Crystal knew that if she didn't answer him the situation would go from bad to worse.
"It started before Catherine was born. I never told you this but she was conceived during a full moon. During the time of your curse. Both you and our son became very ill and would have died. the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. There was only one solution."
"You didn't. Tell me you didn't, you made a deal with he who cursed me?"
"I couldn't let you die, it was the only to way to save your life."
"What was the cost? Me gold for her life?"
"Perhaps we should talk about this later."
"You stole me gold that's plan to see did you think I'd just let that be?" Maurice said approaching Crystal.
"Gold wasn't what he required."
"If you say he required no gold that's a lie you never should have told. It's clear to see your lying to me. The time of your judgement is finally at hand." However before Maurice attacked a cloud covered the moon and he was able to transform back into a human. "What's going on? What were we discussing? Where's Cat?"

"Ok here's a quick recap of the situation. When I was pregnant with Catherine you became very ill and almost died. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. I knew it had to have something to do with the leprechaun purse so I contacted him. He promised to save your life but at a cost. He would return when our daughter turned 16 and a curse to take from us the thing we love the most would be fulfilled. Please say something, I can't take your silence please tell me what you're thinking."

"Believe me you don't want to know what I'm thinking nor do you want to know how I'm feeling right now. The best thing for us right now is for me to leave, before I say something I'm going to regret. I'm going to go find Catherine and bring her home. As for the deal it never should've been made in the first place. I will deal with the leprechaun and I will return our daughter to us. Make no mistake about that!"
