Sasha POV The cold that runs through out my body is one I've never felt before in all the years I've lived in the always chaotic city of Portland Oregon. I open my eyes being met with a darkness I've also never known and it chills my already chilled bones. I try to move my hands only to fail feeling them bound in front of me with frayed rope that’s cut into my skin making it sting, my voice rises from deep with in my chest as I scream out for help.

He turned around to me with a wide-eyed panic. “Onyx, what’s happening? What’s wrong?” “I do not know. It hurts. Do something!” I grabbed my head squeezing it between my hands falling to my knees hard. My whole body was in pain, a pain I had never felt before. I clenched myself but nothing eased the feeling. I fell toward the ground now on all fours unable to hold myself up when I heard the familiar sound of cracking bone. Agonizing, excruciating pain consumed my body as I looked down to myself witnessing my fingers elongating and claws spreading, but these were not my normal claws. These were different, more animalistic, more like…

Chapter 70 • Talking Skeleton After the body totally dispersed, Linda was faced with a talking skeleton. "Hahahahahaha." The skeleton continued to laugh out loud in a way that pissed Linda. As if the skeleton sensing what Linda was about to do it raised it hand with vigor and took a red rope that hugged on a nail on the wall. Before Linda could raise her hand so that she could point her index finger on the skeleton in front of her as she had started incarnating but then… The skeleton used the rope in its hand to bond Linda all over her body and she fell down on the ground.

Bjorn's words sent ice through my veins. "He found us? How?" The old man was already moving, grabbing a worn leather bag from beside the hearth and stuffing it with supplies. "The bond," he said grimly. "Ronan's bond to you. It's like a leash—he can feel you, sense you, especially when you're scared or hurt." I looked down at myself, at my bleeding feet, my torn dress, my trembling hands. I was scared. I was hurt. Of course he could feel me.

"Bottom three shelves. Look for dark leather bindings. Look for titles about blood ties or sympathetic bonds." The three scholars walked exactly where he pointed. They did not waste time. They crouched down and began reading the titles on the spines of the books. They did not open them unless the title was right. I stood by the iron door. I watched them work. They moved fast. They were a unified team. Ten minutes passed. Then fifteen. "I have records on bone healing," one of the older men said, pushing a book back into place. "I have plant poisons," one of the young scholar said.

Her arms and legs were unusually long, her figure slender and astonishingly beautiful. Yet there was no smile at the corner of her lips. Not even the slightest trace. In one hand she held a book filled with strange writing; in the other, a staff that reached the ground. At that time, she was crouching on the earth, gently touching a pile of bones. Yes—there was no mistake. It was a skeleton, and the skeleton of a phoenix.

I cut down to the belly button, then began to shakily peel back the layers of skin and muscle as I prepared myself for potentially seeing more strange mutations inside. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Just a regular human body, with regular human organs. I let out a sigh of relief. I heard the sound of rattling again. It sounded like… bones? I turned around toward the direction of the sound and shrieked when I saw the skeleton that was used for osteology… moving! It was off of its stand and staggering directly toward me with its bony hands outstretched toward my throat.

Then, to the right, and at the end of a long row of books, one book jutted out from the shelf. I pulled it out. It didn’t have a name. It was a leather-bound volume, and its cover had a skeletal hand clutching a wilting rose. I opened the book, skimming through the pages. My stomach turned at some of the rituals inside. Selene was too arrogant, too vein, to resort to grave robbing, and there would be no need to stitch me together if her plan was to take over people’s bodies as she had before. The Binding.

A ferocious roar filled his ears, seemed to fill up the whole world, and he could feel the vibrations as the panther gave chase. As he started down the stairs, he tried to kick the door closed behind him but he also didn’t want to pause even for a second, and he didn’t think his kick was forceful enough to get the door closed all the way. He picked up his speed, nearly tumbling down the stairs, sure that he could feel the breath of the animal on his neck. He raced to the closest bookshelf, full of hardback volumes by Stephen King. Hoping to buy himself a little more time, he grabbed one of the thicker books—Bag of Bones—and hurled it toward the stairs just as the panther came into the librar
