Novel & Cerita The Blood Trials

His head hit the metal with a dull thunk. His hands flailed, trying to grab my wrist, but I held firm. “You’re a coward,” I hissed. “You didn’t just betray him. You turned your back on blood for power you never deserved.” He snarled, trying to fight back. “You think this ends with me? You think killing me fixes this? There are more, Alex. More than you know. You’re swimming in a sea of sharks, and they’ve been waiting for you to bleed.”

We finally have an elder on our side and she can perhaps combat with the warlock magically. "And I can't think straight with this throbbing head and bleeding body." I bobbed my head and bit a chunk of my hand before filling a wine glass with the droplets of my blood. The blood of vampires can help heal up all kinds of wounds on any supernatural species and fragile humans. Bastiana accepted the glass and drank my blood with a gulp while her face mirrored disgust. Her scars began healing and her cuts closed back till her skin was as good as new.

Instead, he pulled out a stack of weathered, yellowing documents and a tarnished silver dog tag. The clatter of the metal tag hitting the mahogany desk sounded like a gunshot in the silent room. Robbin lunged forward, her breath hitching. She knew that tag. She had seen it hanging from her uncle’s neck a thousand times while he worked in the garage, a relic of a life he had lived before her. Jason Forest. Blood Type: O+. "Everyone out," Robbin commanded. Then, in a shaky whisper, she added, "Nora, please stay."

So I grabbed my teddy bear and walked down the stairs. When I came into the kitchen, I didn't saw my daddy and my mommy standing there, arguing and fighting. I just saw my mommy laying on the floor in a puddle of blood. The red liquid was coming out of her belly and flooded around her. Her eyes were wide open and her brown hair had become red of her blood. I whispered her name and grabbed her hand as I knelt next to her. The tears were falling down my cheeks like a waterfall. Her blood was now on my white pajamas. My hands were painted with her blood as I tried to shake her awake.

I feel like a monster now. "Anything I can do to help." Dr. Emerson led us down a long corridor before opening the door into the lab. Towards the back of the lab the vials of blood were held. Dr. Emerson looked worried about me being around all that blood, as though I would go berserk simply knowing all that blood was there.

Dominic growled, his gaze flickering between me and his mother, but he stayed where he was. I blinked up at the night sky, the blood moon blazing above me, heart pounding. I had passed the first trial. Corvin’s face twisted in anger, while Elder Bram chuckled in surprise, “Congratulations, you’ve passed the first trial.” “No matter,” Corvin sneered and his lis curved, “Onto the next trial. The trial of Blood.” Two guards seized my arms, dragging me toward a field that looked like something out of a nightmare. The ground was filled with black thorns, and the spiritual energy suddenly felt denser.

"They completed the second batch of trials last month. Promising results." "The subjects were all purebloods?" "During the first trials—no. Those snobs couldn't care less. Then the number of cases in the cities shot up. Got them all nervous. At least 50 of them volunteered for the second trial." "Huh. So it's mostly half-bloods?" Jenson tugged at his hair. Comforting to know that half-bloods like him and Darren wouldn't die from an epidemic caused by complete idiots who didn't give a shit about animals and their environment.

Torches flickered as Elders and warriors watched in silence, forming a wide ring around Aria and Kael as they stood in the center. Elandra, robed in silver and black, stepped forward. "The Trial of Blood and Bond begins now. The rules are simple. You must navigate the three Phases of Truth: Pain, Sacrifice, and Trust. Each phase will test your soul connection. If your bond is true, you will survive. If it is not… the trial will consume you." Kael took Aria’s hand, gripping it tightly. "We end this now. For them. For us."

"Come back to me." I didn't turn around because if I looked at him I'd lose my nerve. MIRA'S POV Inside the Council chamber it was cold and quiet. Councilor Matthias stood waiting with that same cold smile he always wore. "Welcome Moonborn." His voice echoed off stone walls. "Today you'll face the Trial of Blood, a test designed specifically for siblings. You'll enter separate chambers and face simulations of each other. The test ends when one of you kills the other or when you both break and admit you're too dangerous to live."

"There is a clause." Of course there is. Nothing is ever free. "The Blood Moon Trials are coming up in two full moon," she stated smoothly. My chest tightened. I knew about the trials, but only by reputation. The last one had occurred three months after I arrived at the academy, and students were strictly barred from attending or even viewing the grounds. It was notorious for being brutal, primal and often fatal.
