The Midnight Bride
I had spent my entire life believing magic belonged to stories my sisters used to tell to scare me.
My stomach twisted as I remembered the way Cerus looked at me. He could see straight through me, couldn’t he? I was tense, waiting for the moment he would confront me and ask me who I really was.
A shiver passed down my spine, trying to ignore the thoughts that flew through my mind.
I closed my eyes for a moment, but the darkness behind them brought something else. My nightmares and memories.
It always stared with a flash of red cloth and man’s deep voice. I could never make out what he was saying, but the rumble of it was a terrible sound.
