Chapter Twenty-One

Three Days to Midsummer

Ravenna

A black-haired goat—a kid—lay across the obsidian altar, a black dagger lanced into its abdomen. A hand reached in and took out the entrails. Slowly, the slimy intestines slipped through her fingers, leaving a bloody trail.

The queen chanted something dark—a powerful spell.

Ravenna could feel a dragging sensation; as if she’d been grabbed by the hair and the queen was pulling her closer. But Ravenna wouldn’t let her. She steeled herself and refused it with all of her will.

“Fighting me,” the queen whispered, sweat beading her brow. “You can’t for long though. I am stronger than strong.”

Ravenna gathered all of her power and … twisted. She watched as a loop of intestine slid up the queen’s arm, slithered over her head and encircled her neck.

The queen’s eyes flew open and she clawed at the choking innards. She hissed a word, and the intestine dissolved in her hand.

The chanting stopped.

“I will find you, little bitch. I will kill you with mine own hands. YOU SERVE ME!”

Ravenna shouted in her mind, “I will NEVER serve you!”

She rolled over and slammed shut the dream.
