Chapter Nine

“Her tears shall envelope the earth below, and her cries will awake her forefathers’ promises. She shall give herself freely to the bond, and he shall lie with her and consume her whole, giving fruit that will leap forth with great power.”

The Prophecy

S earching for the nearest way out of the house, Toni headed out of the back door, down the stairs, and out to the lawn toward the mossy green trees.

Following behind her still naked, Jericho ran after her.

“Toni!” he screamed, powerful legs striding forward. “Come back!”

“NO!” was all that Toni could manage as she ran, the soft grass crunching under her feet, the wind at her back.

Disappearing into the trees, she threw her dress, unable to put it on as she fought with what she had just witnessed.

Down the winding pathway through the thick willow trees, she ran into the darkness, hearing the owls and insects all around her and feeling the moonbeam through the trees onto her bare skin.

Finally exhausted after half a mile, she stopped and looked up through the trees into the sky.

Feeling anger consume her, she screamed out and balled up her fists.

“DAMN YOU!” she said, falling to her knees. She felt herself shuddering as she gripped her sides. “DAMN YOU TO HELL!” she screamed, feeling her heart break into small pieces.

Within seconds, she could hear heavy footfalls behind her, and she knew that she wasn’t alone.

Jericho approached her from behind and stood silently watching her a moment before he spoke.

Even he had been surprised by her reaction to the visions. He was upset with himself that he had not anticipated her needs well enough.

Looking down at the grass below her, she wiped snot and tears from her heated face. Embarrassment fused into her anguish.

This man had seen her at her worst, seen her worst secrets and experienced them with her. How could she face him now?

But Jericho couldn’t think of any other place he’d rather be than by her side.

“Baby,” Jericho said, standing directly behind her. He inhaled a deep breath from his sprint and put a hand on his side. “Are you alright?” he asked again. “Please, you’re scaring me.”

She laughed sardonically at his question, even more so at his warm term of endearment.

“Who could be alright after something like that?” Sniffling again, she wiped her face and sulked. Her shoulders drooped downward, mirroring her inner defeat. “My entire family is dead at the hands of those…witches. And here I am in a house full of more witches, who have just reduced me to rubble. No, I’m not alright, Jericho. I’m nowhere near it.”

“We’ll find them. We’ll bring them to justice,” Jericho promised, unsure if he should touch her. His extended hand toward her, but he quickly snatched it back, fearing she might shy away. “And we did not reduce you to rubble, we simply…enlightened you. We made you stronger whether you realize it yet or not.”

Toni didn’t need any more smoke blown up her ass.

“I may be ignorant to all of this, but I’m not a weak woman.
