CHAPTER 23

Ella was taking her time donning her battle attire. She could hear the raised voices of Witch and Vampire drifting up from below. The excitement in the gathered warriors could not be contained within the stone walls of Laverock and one could not help but be caught up in the expectation of glorious victory. She envied the camaraderie that existed once again between the two factions and wished she could hold her Vampire counterparts in such easy regard. Lorcan and the Elite were the only Vampire she would readily seek for counsel or companionship. The remainder she still avoided, but in that brief moment, she wanted nothing more than to go into the crowd and feel as though she belonged.

This was only the second jointly planned and executed major offensive against the Dark in the past two thousand years. The first had been the night that Kat had almost died. That had also been the night that the Vampire and Witch of the Light had rejoined truly in complete alliance under the leadership of Lorcan and the Chosen.

For Ella, having heard tales in her childhood of the Prophecy and Kaitriana’s demise, it was unreal that not only was her close friend the foretold savior of the Realm, but that she herself would be going into battle tonight with the Chosen. The icing on the cake was that they would be doing this together; both she and Kaitriana had key roles in tonight’s plans. Ella dropped her head for a moment and sent a sweet message up to the heavens. Her mother would be proud.

Tonight promised to be monumental if they found success. Lorcan believed that if the Light could take down the Warrior of Dark, Rhydach’s forces would be severely crippled. Nicholas was legendary and trained the best Dark warriors. Victory by the Light tonight was gravely important.

Even though she was ready, Ella was still reluctant to go downstairs. Besides being uneasy in the company of the lot of them, she was nervous and hated for it to be known. This was her first battle of any kind and the outcome was critical. Her role in it was substantial. If that were not enough, her stomach was lurching because there was a chance that she might come face to face with Cole tonight.

She had managed to bury that fear the past few weeks during her training. Ella had decided to hate him, relegating him to the status of ‘enemy’ as she would any other Dark. Making the decision and then holding true to it was the problem. She did not know how she would respond if she found herself on the opposite end of a sword from him. Her greatest fear was that she would see proof that she meant nothing to him and that proof would come by way of him trying to take her head.
