Chapter Twelve

Tink

Walking through the aromatic flowery meads and tall wheat grasses, the sense of belonging settled on me as the sun’s warmth receded. I stretched out my hands to the left and right and felt the tips of the wheat touch my skin.

My heart did a hiccup, a little jig of excitement, and pure anxiety intermingled into this battle within. What would I have to face on the other side? Which ghosts and demons waited for me to resurrect them?

My soul stirred, and my eyes burned.

This was home.

This was hell.

Sweat dripped down my brow. I moved along ever closer to the imposing walls, trying to remove those thoughts from my memory of what had happened on these fields.

Even more, what terror I had survived within those walls.

Passing over the drawbridge, I spied the thick walls, turrets, and towers jutting upward. I pushed down the burning in my throat.

“Are you going to be okay, Abele?” Leif asked. He said my name with so much concern, not with the usual bravado I’d come to expect.

He seemed to switch up, unsure if to address me as the lady he’d known in this past, or the woman from the future.

The confusion marred his handsome skin. Whatever existed between us would have to wait. The ground cried out for Philip’s blood and I planned on delivering.

I dropped his hand and moved forward.

“At the gate we will separate, and procure the information we need. You have family here, and—”

“With your mind tricks you are practically invisible.”

“But you still see me.” He clicked his tongue and made a hollow sound. “And, later I will find you.” His words were filled with a promise.

“Don’t die. You owe me my second date.” Under his hot gaze, filled with promises, a part of me wished he’d seen me so intensely back before this debacle. That his gaze filled with desire had translated into action.

A broad smile spread. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world. You simply do not know how special you are, and indeed, you shall be mine.”

Before I could answer him, he disappeared into the shadows.

But his utterance was words without action or emotional consequence. It was as if he’d looked into a scrying bowl and located my image as his happily ever after.

Torn between what was right for Freyja and what was right for me, left me confused. He was a vampire, and I should have killed him. But he made me smile, and I liked that.

Maybe he knew his words might give me a little hope. If anyone knew what I might expect behind these walls, it would be him. He knew what Philip was like, but had never witnessed the physical assaults of his dominance.

I clenched my eyes shut for a quick second. This wasn’t the time to think about what might come later. Instead, I needed to focus on what came now.

For a moment, it seemed like dozens of eyes were staring at me, as if they could hear my dark thoughts.

For years, Philip had abused and mishandled me, and tonight I would find him and gut him like the swine he was.
