Ceri felt the threat and she moaned, trying to claw her way up out of the clinging grip of unconsciousness.

Nothingness floated around her, tendrils of misty fingers trailing soothingly along her skin. An alien chattering sounded far away. Deep voices lifted, a low, yet sweet, tune filling the air as men’s voices rose and fell.

And she slipped once more under a protecting blanket of unconsciousness.

Witches

Learta watched as Beulah came down the pathway. The hem of the witch woman’s grey gown should have dragged in the dirt but instead it floated just a fraction above it. Nothing soiled would touch her.

Smiling, Learta lifted her unveiled face to the sunshine and breathed deeply. There were very few people she bared her scarred face to, those among the privileged being Beulah.

Coming level with Learta, Beulah smiled. “She is safe.”

Learta took another deep breath of the fresh, clean air. “Ceri sleeps.”

“She won’t awaken until it’s over.”

“It is better this way. Isn’t it?”

“It’s the only way.” A star fell in the witch woman’s black eyes. “Her path is not the same as Rani’s. It is better this way.”

With a sigh, Learta fingered her veil. “The sisters would fight to the death for each other.”

“But it is not to be.” Beulah touched Learta’s shoulder lightly. “Strength is with each other, but it can also be crippling. There can be no obstacles, Learta.”

“I know.” Learta gracefully slipped the veil back over the lower half of her face. “I know.”

“It is safer for Ceri to sleep.” Beulah smiled slightly. “The Acceli’s will keep her safe from everyone and everything.” Another star fell in her eyes. “From darkness.”
