Excerpt:
The elder strigoi’s are forcing Ciarra to do their bidding by getting
rid of their only competition. To their dismay she makes it permanent and goes
another step farther with the guidance of her spirit guides.
"I will do it if she and her unborn are released safely and
unharmed.”
Feeling as if the spirits are right in the manipulation of the curse, I
know the look I give Kimi is one of remorse. My heart is yearning to set her
free with no harm done to her and her unborn baby.
He nods in agreement and the
other strigoi remove themselves from her side apparently having overheard and
understood our conversation. Kimi’s whimpers turn into soft sobs as I run to
where they want me to stand. I look at Kimi and the look in her eyes plead with
me to help her but all I can do is try to smile at her to make her know it will
all be okay.
Standing in the center of the room, I hear my spirit guides.
“This is very bad and you will have to twist the curse so as to not
cause more harm than already done.”
I slowly start twisting the curse as I try to do what is required of me
to get Kimi released safely. I add a few incantations I hope no one will notice
but to no avail. Finishing the twisted curse, Aison furiously rushes to my side
and yells at me.
“Finish what you started; it is too late now!”
I realize I have doomed all future Neuri children to live in this world
as dreaded werewolves. At the age of 26 the prophecy will manifest. They are
ill-fated to wander the plains of this wicked world, without death to look
forward to.
The only way this spell can be broken
is if a mated pair come together and crossover at the same time. This will make
them part werewolf and part strigoi which is the only way they can successfully
kill the original strigoi to break the curse.
As soon as my incantation is
finished, I collapse to the hard stone-covered floor, but before Aison can get
to my side, the other strigoi rush to me and treat me as if I am a feast of
sort. One of the smaller strigoi leaps across the room to land in a loud thud
atop me, breaking my ribs. A sharp prickle of pain radiates from deep inside my
chest and I start experiencing a drowning sensation and gasp for what little
air my blood-filled lungs can acquire. I think I must be turning purple from a
lack of oxygen and feel my life begin to fade. I reach for Aison only to come
up empty.
They bite me on the soft skin on the inside of my thighs, their sharp
teeth tearing my fragile skin. Warm, thickening blood pools under my body as
these creatures continuously ravage my already broken body. My heart begins to
slow and fuzziness blurs the edges of my eyesight. I realized I am dying; it is
too late for me!
