As they moved slowly further down the path together towards where the third pouch had been hidden, Sinn let her powers fill the air around them. She could feel Yoanna’s moving with it, backing hers up without pushing or adding. She couldn’t be sure unless it happened again but it had felt as though when she had pushed back with it before that it had forced whatever it was into retreat before it could harm them further.
The not knowing what it was, what they were fighting against, made it even harder for Sinn to take. It wasn’t a Werewolf or a Vampire, it wasn’t a Ghost or Spirit, and it wasn’t even magic as she knew it. Just what had happened in Eric’s Security Office had gone beyond anything she was used to when it came to magic.
She had been in too much pain with been separated from Yoanna and then too overcome with the desire to get back to her that she couldn’t really remember Heather from that night when the Spirits had at
Mel sighed softly as Grace closed the morgue drawer on Heather’s body. She wasn’t quite sure what to think of everything that was going on. She knew that Heather had killed Jade in cold blood but she couldn’t help the twinge of sorrow for the other woman for how it had ended for her. Mel had heard Eric and some of the other guards say that Heather had deserved what had happened. If they knew her feelings, Mel knew that they would say that her empathy for her was a ‘woman’ thing but Mel preferred to think of it as just being human.Jade hadn’t deserved what happened to him and while Heather had deserved punishment, maybe even death. What they all seemed to forget was that how she had died meant that there was someone even more ruthless out there.From what Grace had been able to tell from a quick examination of Heather’s remains, she had been killed not long after Jade and going by the ragged wounds, her head had been removed wh
Her body felt heavy, bruised and aching from exertion in the most delicious of ways. At the same time though it was hypersensitive to the even the slightest stirring of the air. Aftershocks of pleasure tightened her insides at a breath held a little longer than normal or taken a little deeper, let alone the feel of Yoanna’s body pressed tight against her back as her hand ran sleepily over her arm and hip whilst the other skimmed over her breast, abdomen and dipped between her thighs.Yoanna’s touch was soothing but it also served to keep the desire heightened, simmering just beneath the surface. Sinn would have thought it was intentional, and maybe it was a little, but they both just loved to touch each other at any time let alone after making love.After making love it was even more pleasurable though. Exploring your loves body, eliciting a moan or sigh of pleasure as fingers found a particularly tender or sensitive area, remembering or been
Looking around the quite packed room, Ella couldn’t help but notice that one person, in particular, was absent from their gathering. Especially as Sinn was more often than not at Yoanna’s side or close to her. Giving Mel’s hand a squeeze, Ella excused herself and moved around the room looking for her missing friend.She was worried about her. There had been a sadness about her that had grown over the past couple of days that had boiled over into fury a couple of times in the gym. Luckily though, Sinn had reserved her anger for the machines and the punching bags and had broken them and not bones.Glancing out onto the patio, Ella finally spotted Sinn’s body outlined by the rising moon and the lit candle on the table at her side. Opening the French doors, Ella slipped outside and closed them behind her. She knew she must have been heard. No matter how quiet she was, the rise of noise as the doors opened would have given her away but Sinn didn&rsqu
Sinn rode as fast and as far and she could, trying to outrun the tears streaming down her face and the breaking of her heart as it shattered into a million pieces with every mile she put between herself and Yoanna.The sun rose high above the horizon, blinding even through the tinted visor as it sparkled off her tears. Unable to see, Sinn started to pull over to the side of the road but the powerful bike skidding and pitched on the loose gravel and sand, and slipped out from under her before she could gain control.Sinn felt the sickening crunch of her body hitting the ground and a reverberating thud as her helmet hit. She was helpless to do anything as her foot was trapped under the bike and she was dragged along for the ride as it kicking up clouds of dust and gravel around her before it finally slid to a halt at the bottom of a steep incline.Wiggling free, Sinn staggered away from the bike and fell to her knees in the sandy dirt. Hunching over, she curled ar
Sinn watched without even really seeing as the numbers ticked by on the petrol pump as her bike was being refuelled by the thin-faced, thoroughly bored looking teenage attendant that was nodding along to music blasting into his ears. She had told him to fill it up just because that was what she always said but she couldn’t help but think that it would be a waste of money as she was finally down to the last address on her list. Rather than correcting her mistake though she just went inside and handed over her money.The sun had gone down hours before, she had felt the very moment it had lost its sway over the Vampires in the area like a switch had clicked inside of her. And even with all the miles now between them, she knew that if she just lowered her protection for just a moment she would find Yoanna. Just the thought of it made the ache in Sinn’s heart grow even stronger and had familiar tears welling up again from the pit of her soul to choke the back of her th
Leaving them with that not terribly comforting piece of truth, Sinn gave Yoanna’s hand a quick squeeze and headed towards the turning that led to the farm. Even though she was pretty certain that the main part of the drive wouldn’t be booby-trapped she rode slowly and gave every stray leaf or turned over bit of gravel an extra look. The cameras dotted alongside on the trees she ignored.If her Mentor had wanted Ella dead he would have just killed her as soon as she had left the protection of the mansion. And if he had done as he had threatened to and sold her to the highest bidder, dead or alive, he would have kept on going and not stopped so close to Bitten. The man had resources and a pilot’s licence. If he was sticking around it was because he wanted to.As she rode past the barn, Sinn kept her gaze resolutely fixed on the farmhouse and left that for Marcus and Yoanna to deal with. She did let her powers flow that way though. There was definitely s
The first part of their task had gone easily enough after they had split from her love. They had moved quickly but cautiously through the woods with no trouble or sign or traps or cameras. With the denseness of the trees and the wildlife that used the area, it would have been a frustrating waste of time trying to cover all routes on such a large property so he had obviously not bothered and had focussed on direct routes and the land around the farmhouse itself.Yes, that part had been easy. Made so by the fact that Sinn kept talking to her and because Yoanna could feel her so deeply through their power. Just as they had reached the back of the barn though, Sinn had to hang up to go inside the farmhouse to confront her Father.The silence had chilled Yoanna and had her struggling to contain the urge to race after her even though she trusted that Sinn’s plan was the best they had given that she knew better than anyone what he was capable of. A gasp was suddenly rip
Marcus froze. The silence stretching out was almost as deafening as the two blasts that had rung out so close together they had been almost one noise. Ella’s hand tightened in his, her nails digging fiercely into his flesh. Her whimper of fear was eclipsed by a rising moan as a contraction doubled her up.“Marcus, we have to do something,” Ella panted, pulling him closer as she breathed through the end of the contraction. “We can’t leave them there with that monster.”“Working on it, love.” Listening intently for any footsteps heading their way or a call from Sinn or Yoanna, Marcus looked around the room they had found themselves in. He tried not to focus on the furnishings other than to see if they could make potential weapons, it was no easy task though as it was obviously the room of the baby girl whose body was laid out in the barn along with her parents.If he wasn’t feeling so weak he could have made th
