All Chapters of After The Night: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

[EIRA] The thought that she once believed she had nothing to lose made her laugh at her own self. As Bella lay there, still and pale, Eira cried. She sobbed and blamed herself for the death of her friend.  

[EIRA]The witch refused to talk. She tried, but no words left her mouth. So, as Nate explained everything to Bella as nicely and calmly as he could, Eira watched the pair with her lips sealed. The ginger would glance at her ocassionally, her brows furrowed deeply and green eyes filled with warm tears. She wasn't happy with what had happened to her but neither did she complain. Not once. She listened keenly and nodded at each word that left Nate's lips as tear after tear rolled down her cheek silently.It took every ounce of strength within Eira to not break down there, in front of them. But she knew she had to be strong. For Arabella.When the trio stepped out of the mansion, they were enveloped by the darkness of the night but it didn't last much longer. As they ventured towards the Centaurus forest, the cool light emanating from the full moon overhead illuminated their path. "I'm scared," Bella confessed, her voice breathy."Do we

[EIRA]For a moment, there was a deafening silence buzzing in her ears. She felt warm tears on her face and watched in horror at the vampire. Then she heard someone call her name from behind.For some reason, she expected to see the black haired vampire. But instead the solemn face of Josh greeted her."Get me some aconite! Quick!" He commanded as soon as his eyes fell on the suffering vampire. The sharpness of his voice gave strength to her weak knees and she ran out in an instant, not sure of where else she would find them and plucked out some still blooming flowers that lined the main entrance to the mansion.Eira returned to the couch and found the warlock on his knees, his eyes closed and lips moving silently in some type of enchantment. She did not wait for his command and with a spell of her own, turned the flowers into a thin paste between her palms and let the drop trickle down into the slashes over Nate's chest. The blood flowing from it dried i

[EIRA]The night slipped away peacefully for Eira who was wrapped the whole time in Nate's arms. She felt happy and safe in his embrace. When the first rays of sunshine met her face, she woke with a smile. But it did not last there for long. While her sleep was dreamless the previous night, she still intended to tell about her previous ones to Josh.The circle of thirteen witches. All with disfigured faces but one.Eira had doubted once if her dreams meant anything. The warlock that introduced her to all of witchcraft had once mentioned that she may be a seer. That she may have the ability to see things, those which other eyes could not. Things from the past and the future. She did not believe him then, not fully atleast, but the events from the previous night had done enough to grant proof for his words. Her recurring dream of running from a wolf in the red Bloodivy woods of the Centaurus forest beneath a full moon was a vision, a warning of some kind f

[EIRA]Carena’s voice echoed in her ears and she realised what her words meant; the sapphire gem in Dana’s bracelet was the other part of the Videns viribus. It would fit perfectly in the bone that was possessed by the werewolves, completing the talisman and thus granting them the power to attack. She knew what she had to do and she had to do it fast.However, the scene faded away in front of her eyes before she could do anything. The sun scurried down the horizon and within a blinking the full moon graced the sky. When Eira’s eyes lowered from the sky, she saw that the field was gone and was replaced by the Centaurus forest. The wind blowing swayed the branches of the Bloodivy trees that proudly stood high from the ground, and in the centre of the groove, she found the circle of the thirteen witches. They were holding each other's hands and chanting in unison. Someone’s agonising cries filled the night sky. Eira knew she had no time to waste but she barely had the ability to control
