CHAPTER LIV

Elena drags herself across the dirt and twigs.

Belly against the floor like a snake.

She slitters through a protruding root from the floor.

She pauses as her breath drowns under the weight of the crows' caw.

A blue light shines above her head and cast her shadow against the floor.

“Get up,” Mary's black hair merges with the dark background.

The crows go around them as Mary holds up a blue gem.

Its glowing light covers them in its soft colors and protects them from the crows.

Mary gives Elena a hand getting to her feet.

“Come on, let’s go”.

“What is the play here?

With this I don’t know if we are going to get any signals to come in,” the witch says.

“At this point, I’m starting to think there won’t be any signal,” Elena is not convinced the twins will be able to reach them now.

When they planned to sabotage Dracula's spell, they did not expect this.

Marcus and his men try to take cover as the crows’ attack everyone in the park.

He tries to communicate into the mic but no one responds.
