Chapter 11

Immortal ropes tied my hands, and the man set me down in the middle of the room next to Liz. I shot her a terrified glance, then glanced around. All of the peasant girls who’d refused to attend the event were gathered and watching us.

“Do these women look familiar?” an Immortal said to the women.

The girls nodded and murmured that they’d seen us before.

“This is one of the girls we caught today,” an Immortal said, shoving me on my knees. “She refused to cooperate with tonight’s event, and now I’m going to make an example of her.” When he whipped out his long sword, the girls gasped. “If you don’t cooperate,” the man said to the cowering girls, “you will die!”

Pain exploded in my head as the black-haired man yanked my hair back.

“Any last words?” he asked.

“Yes!” I struggled to look up at him. “You know I’m Immortal, so why are you doing this?”

“You were captured, and that makes you our property, Immortal or not.”

“They broke the rules!” one of the men roared. “She and her sister must pay. We rule with an iron fist and make no exceptions for traitors.”

The Immortal raised the sword over my head, ready to kill me for my disobedience. He wanted to make an example of me so no other girl would ever challenge his power in the castle; he wanted them to know they were worth nothing, completely expendable, and that they’d be killed for the slightest indiscretion and quickly replaced by another helpless girl.

For a brief second, when I realized there was no hope, I actually pondered calling for Ethano, hoping he would convince his men not to harm an Immortal.

The Immortal lifted his sword, as if he were ready to behead me right then and there. Memories of William holding a sword over my head flooded my head. The same kind of fear immobilized me. My captor stood behind me and my cuffed hand touched his pants in a feeble attempt to stop him, and a flash of light overcame me. When I opened my eyes, I was watching the scene unfold before me. It was like watching TV or a movie, similar to my experience in Helena’s cave. I saw the man deliver the fatal blow to me, and I heard Liz scream. I opened my eyes quickly, and a blinding headache was throbbing behind my eyes. I’d seen a vision of what was about to happen in seconds, and it terrified me even more than facing my adversary. I’d once heard that an unborn baby can feel everything that the mother experiences, and I only hoped my son could not feel my fear.

I glanced down at my belly to talk to my son, the tiny, miraculous baby growing inside of me. Pure, unconditional love poured out. I want you to know that I love you so much, and I want nothing more than to hold you in my arms. In order for that to happen, then I must do something drastic to ensure our survival.
