No Time Like The Present
“NO!” Gareth yelled, his voice louder than I expected. My body felt like it had been electrocuted, as my heart jumped out of my chest.
“Gareth, please, it’s our only option,” I pleaded. I needed him to understand, but knowing what I knew, this was going to be hard for him to accept.
Tell him I am willing and ready to give my life Darius whispered in my mind. Just as we all were to save you before.
I closed my eyes, pained. They were willing to give their lives to save me? How much was I giving up, to save them? It hardly seemed like a fair exchange.
After everything I had done, after all the times I had tried to give up and run away, they had been willing to die. I needed to do more, no, I needed to be more.
“There must be another way,” Gareth interrupted my thoughts with his panicked words.
“There isn’t,” I bit back, a little too angrily. “Darius kn

Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Alana's Pain
Alana’s grey eyes narrowed when I walked into her cell. She was hunched in the farthest corner of the room, her face smeared with what I hoped was only blood and dirt. My stomach cringed inwardly at her appearance. Her hair which had been shoulder length the entire time I had known her was much longer now, almost to her waist. It was mussed up, darkened by the dirt and what looked like blood, that was encrusted on the hair near her scalp. Red circles rimmed her brooding eyes like she had been crying recently and, large, dark purple bags hung heavy beneath them. I wondered at the depth of her sanity at this moment, because she certainly didn’t look very with it. Her body was so thin, almost as thin as me. It was disturbing. I wanted to remember her as the woman who commanded my attention the first time we met, but all I saw was the shell of what she once was. What had Tynan done to her? Maybe I could come back later. I swallowed my fear, realising that there m

“I want to go outside,” I said quietly to my two guards as we walked swiftly away from the dungeons. I had no idea how they would take this, but I wouldn’t take no for an answer.They exchanged a strange look but gave no response. Raena headed down a corridor I couldn’t remember seeing before. This made me worry. Were they going to take me to an isolated part of the castle and trap me? I tried to get a sense of their emotions, but I kept coming up against what felt like a stone wall.Worry bubbled in my stomach. We stopped in front of a small wooden door. I glanced at the both of them, panic taking hold. I attempted to calm myself down but nothing worked.Pollis grabbed my arm lightly, making me flinch away from him, his touch warm. “Don’t do anything stupid or it’s our heads.”Based on the large smirk Pollis gave me, I could only imagine the confused look I was giving him right now. They weren’t going

Panic took my breath away from me. It held it strong, leaving my head to spin and my lungs to ache. I sucked in a quick, flustered breath between my teeth.A sharp crack of breaking bone sent my heart into a spasm. I stared at the man who lay on the ground, blood trickling down the side of his face. His dark hair was clumped with dirt. Relief flooded through me when he moaned.“Enough!” I barked, my hand gripping the guard who was ready to give another beating. “If he is too damaged, I won’t be able to take his Spyrit.”The elderly man flinched away from my touch, his fist clenching and unclenching. Blood coated his knuckles and I fought against the disgust in my stomach. He didn’t need to know that I never intended to take it at all, but it was all about making it seem real.He grabbed onto the chains that bound Blake’s hands together and pulled, dragging Blake’s body along the corridor.Raena and Po

“It’s just through there,” Pollis whispered. We crouched behind a large crate on the other side of the castle. A large barn stood before us, wider than any horse stable I had ever seen. After I had described the image Amber had shown me, Pollis had known exactly where to go. Our breathing was ragged and a sharp pain stabbed my side. I gasped at the air as quietly as I could. Not an easy task. “Ladies first,” Pollis smiled, gesturing for me to lead the way. I crept around the side slowly. Two guards paced before the large wooden door, swords hanging from their hips. Two I mouthed at Pollis. He nodded, but his scepticism pulled at my chest. I touched his mind to hear his silent thoughts. And probably several more inside, oh I hope she can fight. I frowned at him. I could do more than fight. Taking a deep breath, I pushed forward, stepping out from the crate, Pollis only a few steps behind me. “I brought you, as Tynan ordered,” Pollis said loudly. His staged whisper was ridiculou
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Returning to Callad
Exhaustion weighed down every muscle in my body. Even though this was true, I felt empty and hopeless. The memory of Deakin’s words and his tumultuous emotions resulted in fresh, silent tears flowing down my cheeks. Amber nickered softly underneath me, echoing my sadness. I wrapped my arms around her sweaty neck and cried into her. Her desolate thoughts were so strong and potent, my heart was aching, and my mind was begging for it to end. The longer we travelled, the more I retreated further into myself, as our ragtag group of escapees swiftly moved along the worn path back to Callad. Alana, who had suffered the least physical injuries, set up the camps every time we stopped, which was not very often. When we did stop it was never for long. The fear of pursuit was too strong. Without even needing to acknowledge it, we all knew that Tynan would come after us. I was too valuable, and the other two Master Magicians far too powerful for him to not seek retributio

Mistress Jaida’s voice entered my mind. The bubbly personality that I remembered was gone, and had been replaced with one of authority. Come to my room now please, Kida. And if I don’t? I don’t want to say that you will be forced… but I’m not asking you. As she retreated from my mind, I gave a grumbled sigh. We had been back for a total of a week and in that time many people had come knocking on my door and demanding, begging, and even pleading, to speak to me. Jax, Tori, Jaida, even Blake, but I had ignored all of them. All I wanted, was to be alone. That was in the first two days and after that they had stopped coming, as if they had given up. It had taken Midnight’s pleading images of an empty food bowl to rouse me from my despaired, miserable sulking, to leave my room. That had opened the door for people thinking I was ready to be a part of civilisation, and now Jaida had summoned me. By her tone, I knew it would be noth

“What were you even thinking?”His tone was like dunking my head into snow. It stabbed at my heart and stung my face as if he had slapped me.“Wait, don’t answer that. Knowing you, you probably weren’t thinking at all. You never think through the consequences of your actions.”“Hmmm,” was all I could manage to get out, attempting to get my voice low and remorseful. Part of me wanted to bite back, to argue my point, but the other, rather larger part, wanted to shift away from his anger. And honestly, I didn’t care what he said. All that mattered was that Amber was okay. She was the only thing I had left of… I stopped short, closing off the thought before it could finish, my heart squeezing in agony in my chest.Blake ran a hand through his dishevelled hair. At least that hadn’t changed. I still drove him insane. He glared at me with his burning eyes.His time within Tynan’s cel

Alana’s eyes narrowed at me from the small opening in her door, the gloomy grey colour swirling around menacingly.“Do you realise what you are asking?” she asked for the fifth time, sounding still so shocked. “We would become linked.” A smirk touched her lips. “And you would have to follow my instructions.”I folded my arms across my chest. “I know that, but… it’s better than the other option.”She eyed me knowingly, a stab of sadness hitting me square in the chest. “You will have to face it sooner or later.”“I think I prefer later.”She snorted and opened the door wider to let me in.“Come in.”Her living room was small and cosy, something I never would have expected from her. It felt almost homely.Three puffy, green armchairs were positioned in a half-circle around a wooden table and each faced the empty fireplace, but al
