hell happened?”
He let out a groan. “Kale is a dead man. I hate that bastard. Amelia and he walked in, blasting away. They almost burned down the cottage. Kale tackled me and started punching me in the face. He used his new dark power to blind me, and when I was able to see again, Delia was gone. They took her, Kaleigh. I love this girl more than anything. We have to save her.”
I hug him. “I know we do. Amelia plans on doing a ritual to drain Cordelia of her powers. We have to get back to Ithaca, and we need to do it now.” A knock on the door makes us jump. I grab a knife and walk to the door, opening it slowly.
“Dean, I am so glad to see you!”
Chapter Sixteen
Cordelia
The pain that runs though my body is excruciating. I feel like I am on fire; my arms feel like they are being stretched in so many directions. My head was pounding; I swear someone hit me with a hammer. All of a sudden, it feels like someone is biting my neck. My eyes fly open. I try to move, but I believe I am tied down. Then I see red eyes looking at me, but before I can scream he puts his hand over my mouth.
“No, my dear, you are not going to scream. You are a strange creature. We had to put rope around your entire body. Your wings can get dangerous. Amelia cast a spell around your body, so no electrocuting or throwing up your force field. I am going to remove my hand from your mouth, as long if you promise you will not scream.
I nod my head yes. “What…. What are you?”
He lets out a high laugh. “Oh Cordelia, I am a vampire. I was told to feed off you to see if I could transform you into a vampire as well. We wanted to have fun before you’re sacrificed. Your blood taste like heaven.”
I am now terrified; I didn’t want to be a vampire. “Are we in Ithaca?”
“Yes. You are a sweet child. You have less than 24 hours before the Blood moon is full. That’s when the ritual will be successful.”
“Enough, Zane; go back to you lair and leave me with my daughter.”
He walks over to her and bows. “Your highness; call me if you need me.”
I watch as Zane leaves and my mother goes to what looks to be an altar. I try to see what is on it, and I see a pentagram, but it seems to be upside down. I see various black candles that are already lit. Amelia picks up an athame, and starts to walk toward me. I try to break free of the ropes, but no luck.
“Cordelia, it’s no use. There is no way you can break enchanted ropes. Now, please stay still; I need your blood for the ritual tomorrow night. “
I look her in the eyes and build up my courage. “I’m so glad that you were never around. From what I can see you’re nothing but a coward; killing your own daughter so you can be stronger. I’m glad I am like my father.”
She slaps me across my face, so hard I bite my cheek and taste blood. “This is all Dean’s fault! He should have never kept you from me. I was using him so I could bear a child. He took that away from me with his mind control. Luckily, my seer came to me and showed me the truth. Now, be still so I can get your blood.”
The knife pierces my forearm, and I suck in a breath and close my eyes. Think of a happy place , I tell myself. But it was no help; the pain is unbearable and I black out.
I am running through a field, wildflowers everywhere. It is like a sea of pinks, purples, yellows, and reds. I stop in the middle of the field and twirl in the sunlight. I am wearing a beautiful yellow sundress. I am barefooted as well. I fall into the flowers and
