CHAPTER SIX - Paige

I would never admit it to anyone, but the sight of blood makes me squeamish. It’s not as if I hadn’t seen plenty of it in my life, but that didn’t neutralize the feeling of rolling nausea that overwhelmed me when I saw it spurting from my leg.

Bruno was gone. The Dark Wiccan had retreated to the far corner of the room once again. Apparently he was to act as my jailor. I didn’t know exactly what Bruno thought I was going to do. Even if I knew how leverage the conduit to the Goddess’s energy source, at the moment any magical ability I mustered would be effectively neutralized.

Somehow, despite the fact that I had a wicked looking knife buried deep in my thigh, I managed not to pass out. When the invisible bindings that held me to the chair released, I pitched forward onto the floor. I cried out as the blade shoved deeper into my flesh before I could catch myself.

Lying on the ground next to the fireplace, I rolled over onto my back and tried hard to hold back my tears. I was stronger than this. I knew that I was. I had survived on my own for four years after my parents’ murder, and somehow luck found me once again when I was dumped into the Bay for Bruno’s ‘safekeeping’. The last three years had been a blissful kind of reprieve.

I had dreaded this possibility when I wished to know about my past. Now, I didn’t want to go back to my old life. I wished for the amnesia once again so that I could forget this entire world existed. That’s what I wanted. But then that other part of my consciousness berated me for being weak. It was an argument that had long gone on in my head.

“Such an interesting case.” The new voice brought me up into a sitting position, and I winced as another sharp dart of pain shot up my leg. There was no one else in the room except for the Dark Wiccan, who hadn’t moved. As far as I knew, they didn’t talk in any kind of normal way. I didn’t even think they had mouths.

My hands moved to my leg, and my palms shook as they inched closer to the sides of the knife’s handle. I knew that I needed to pull it out, but I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next. If I left it there, I didn’t think I’d bleed out. At least not right away. If I pulled it out, without any kind of medical attention, there was a good chance that I’d lose a lot more blood.

But wasn’t that what I wanted? To Die?

“What will you do? That is the question.”

Trying my best not to bend my injured leg, I twisted to take in the rest of the room. “Who said that?” Giggles filled the room. The Wiccan hadn’t moved, but now I felt the presence of someone else even if I couldn’t see him.
