Chapter Nine

After the second half of our patrol for the undead, I just stayed on campus while Christina and Matt left for their home. That’s when the night’s events finally hit me, and my oh crap meter spiked.

I blew out a breath, and wondered if what I felt was what they meant by mental breakdown. My new world was messed up, and I knew I’d only scratched the surface of the things I didn’t know. I didn’t even know what I didn’t know.

I had doubts about things, like necromancy, and all it entailed. I was also sure there was another side to the story. History was written by the winner after all, and the necromancers had definitely come out in second place. There were a lot of questions. What had caused the taint in the first place? Were necromancers the original victims in this fight somehow? Did that even matter anymore if they were wronged thousands of years ago, since they were a threat today.

Another worry was killing. If killing a vampire, something already dead bothered me so much, could I really kill a flesh and blood human being? A necromancer was still a human.

I’d always avoided my power, it scared the life out of me when I was thirteen. I’d almost died from that ghost who apparently had it in for necromancers, or was afraid of them. Now I could see why. The others running out there apparently liked to enslave the immortal souls they ran across, I could see where that could cause some consternation among the dearly departed.

In the past, I’d also avoided my power because it wasn’t really helpful to my life, I’d known nothing about the supernatural world, and there seemed to be little point in overcoming my fears and experimenting to see what was possible with my power. Outside of banishing ghosts that is, and I only did that to the ones that deserved it, the leaches on humanity.

Tonight, had made it very clear to me, that it was something I should learn. I’d fumbled things badly tonight groping along with my necromantic energy, and Macy had escaped. Carl had warned me away from trying to create a zombie or vampire, but history showed me learning other things wouldn’t taint me. As long as I didn’t overwhelm whatever Blood ability I had to hold off the taint, it shouldn’t be a problem.

I tried not to think about that day eight years ago at all, but when viewed with my new knowledge there was one inescapable fact I could no longer deny. The cute ghost girl that stole my power, was made into a wight. Wights were simply spirits with so much power put into them, that they could be seen if they wished, and affect the physical world around them if they wanted too.

Like a poltergeist on steroids.

I’d remembered the scared look on her face before she’d ran, was that because she was my creature now? I could have ordered her around, and had
