IN HINDSIGHT IT MUST have taken only a few seconds for a wolf to reach the base of the mountain, but Evie would swear it felt much longer. She lived and died with each passing moment, springing through the underbrush with her own frantic breaths ringing in her ears.

There had been splashing once, but there wasn’t any longer. Everything was quiet now.

She could only imagine what that might mean.

With a final burst of speed she leapt over a fallen tree and cleared the last of the ferns, only to come screeching to a stop on the shore of a river. There was no sign of them. The vampire and the kelpie had simply disappeared. Yet there was a violent progression of tracks leading down to the water. Every so often, those tracks were darkened with a splash of blood.

The princess didn’t think. She simply leapt into the water.

It might have been harder to think clearly as a wolf, but it was easier to run and it was easier to fight. It was easier to swim as well. With effortless speed she cut through the choppy waves, paddling out to the very center before taking a deep breath and plunging down into the depths.

It was like stepping into a dream.

At once, the chaos of the world above vanished and things went strangely still. The picture around her shimmered, then cleared. The mist of bubbles faded, and for a brief crystalline moment she was able to see everything in perfect detail.

...starting with the two people standing on the riverbed.

It was utterly bizarre—as if they were merely having a conversation. A beautiful girl and a beautiful boy, chatting together at the bottom of an alpine river. Only, if one looked closer, it was clear that she was actually keeping him there. That instead of devouring him immediately, as was the eventual goal, she’d decided to play with him a little—allowing him to drown instead.

Ash!

For a split second Evie watched in horror, floating twenty feet above them.

His kind might have been gifted with speed and strength, but they had no special talent when it came to avoiding asphyxiation. And the lack of oxygen was already starting to show.

That deadly grace had vanished. His movements were awkward and slow. His already-pale skin looked almost translucent, reflecting the blue waves, and after each faltering attempt to free himself he stilled even more dramatically, like he was nothing more than a lovely reanimated corpse.

“I’m sorry to do it this way...”

Those dark eyes widened as the kelpie pressed a sudden kiss to his lips, raking her claws down his cheeks. She lingered a moment, then pulled back with a wicked smile.

“...but I think you’ll appreciate the irony of what happens next.”

His head jerked back a second later as the monster sank her teeth into his skin. There was a silent scream, a cloud of swirling crimson as he thrashed frantically, trying to dislodge her from his neck. But there was no fighting such a thing. It was a simple move, designed to kill.
