CASSIE
They say fall represents change, a time when nature and her children
embrace the seasonal rest to reawaken with renewed life in the spring.
Fall brought that very change in my life. My entire world.
Nearly two months ago, I’d been a normal human, attending college,
trying to hold onto a secret, but it was one I no longer wanted to keep. It
had been easier to hide when it was one friend, but now that I had so many
people I cared for, it threatened to pull me under.
Now? Now, the world was far larger, filled with monsters lingering in
the shadows and gods tugging invisible strings to plunge us into chaos
whenever they chose.
Now, I was a demi-goddess trapped in a mortal form that couldn’t
sustain my powers—the powers that should be the key to our salvation
would put me in an early grave.
Now, I had a mate. One who’d been searching for me for over a century
when all others had given up hope. One who’d saved me when I didn’t
know I needed saving, given me hope that I might get to enjoy what time I
have left in this life, and for the first time, I had a purpose, a reason to
continue forward.
Fall was the season of change, yes, but what would winter, with its
bitter, icy bite, bring?
Unease settled in the pit of my stomach as I stood on our front porch,
staring out onto the dimly lit street. Guilt and dread clung to my very soul
after what I’d done, beckoning me into the depths of a bottomless chasm—
one I’d stared down into for the last two weeks.
My eyes fell to my hands, delicate, fractured crystals descending into
my palms as I rested my elbows on the front porch railing. The snowflakes
transformed, no longer the pleasant sight of ice and frost. No, they’d turned
to ashes… Marcus’ ashes, every bit of life I’d burned away in a matter of
seconds. Ashes collected and built, covering my skin until it was all I could
see. I swallowed, blinking in hopes it might go away, but it never did.
There was no escaping the bruises, cuts, and burns marring my skin as a
reminder of what I’d endured at his hands, no escaping the death that now
marked my hands.
Thank you.
I drew a deep, shaky breath, chasing Marcus’ final words from my mind
before the bile—
My stomach turned, and I tried to focus on breathing, tried not to throw
up, but it wasn’t enough. I hurried down the stairs, hand cupped over my
mouth as I held it back before doubling over the snow-dusted grass and
heaving.
“Shit,” I breathed. Nothing came up, but still my body heaved again and
again. Finally, it settled and I shivered.
God, I was a mess, struggling to get any sleep I could. There were times
when I’d lose myself in training with Damien and the others, in the
distracting jokes and laughter they always tried to drum up, or in painting
and reading.
