Dead of Night(My Forbidden Vampire)
The air is thick and still, the way it is during a séance, in that half-second of calm before a spirit reaches through the veil and makes contact.
But this is no spirit.
Because spirits can’t kill part of the forest.
I come to a halt, standing in the center of a circle of dead trees. The smell of sulfur burns my nose, and I spin, heart beating faster and faster as I look around, taking in the sight of decaying trees. I have no idea what happened, or what the hell could even cause this kind of destruction.
All of my familiars want me to leave. Freya thinks I should go back to the house and warn the coven.
