The storm had gotten stronger. I tried to shield the water from my eyes, but nothing seemed to help. Water pelted me, obscuring my sight, and prevented me from seeing where I needed to go. I coughed up the water as the rain got into my both mouth and nostrils, creating a sensation of suffocating. Of course, I might also be panicking about whether or not I’d be able to rescue Jonathan in time.

“Jonathan!” I called out, but there was no response. I kept moving forward, towards where the fire had been. I could see it now in the distance, still burning as it remained undisturbed by the sheet of rain pouring down on it. What magic was being used to create this kind of unnatural effect? I had no idea, it probably had something to do with the baobhan sith, though, and their mysterious, otherworldly abilities.

Mud had begun to accumulate more and more as the rain came down, softening the terrain and making it almost impossible to travel on. I slipped, falling to my knees, the mud covering my new clothes in the brown, sticky substance. I cursed at this night and this land. I just wanted to go home: was that too much to ask?

Gathering my strength, I pulled myself up and started climbing the hill towards the fire. I had to get there in time to save Jonathan. I could see a figure near the fire, it had to have been him.

Lightning crashed into the hillside and I could hear the eerie laughter of the baobhan sith in the near distance. Their laughter sounded hysterical, like an inhuman cackle produced only by some legion of mad beings. Only things from hell could make such a sound like that. It sent a cold shiver down my spine, but I kept pressing forward, knowing I couldn’t turn back at this point. There was only moving forward into what seemed like the pits of hell itself.

I reached the fire, but saw no sign of the baobhan sith as they had retreated back into the fog. I peered around to find my men lying motionlessly around the fire, each of them as white as ghosts. I felt like stopping and sobbing for all of them, for not being a good leader, but I couldn’t. I had to find Jonathan. I could have sworn he was here.

“Henry...”

I turned to find the female creature standing directly behind me, the same one who had deceived me with the voice of my betrothed. She had Jonathan’s prone form in her arms, drinking the blood out of a gash on his throat until his skin was as white as her dress. Dropping him, she let him collapse to the ground with the rest of the dead bodies of my men. I stared at him, petrified that I had been too late.

He didn’t move, for he was just a lifeless body now. His soul had gone off to another place, as did the rest of my men. Why did these creatures played with life like this? I didn’t know.
