(Thirteen Years Later)
“Report!” I snarl as I walk through the dark blue cloud of magic and
deep into the forest. I storm through the twisted trees toward the
small group of men in front of me, gathering my long black hair and
tying it at the top of my head, needing it out of my eyes to take in
everything.
The golden glow of the remaining sunlight slowly darkens in the sky,
lengthening the shadows of the warped trees and casting the already
haunted forest with an eerie feeling that sets my teeth on edge. We have
twenty minutes tops before we need to retreat onto the school grounds. The
creaking of the twisted limbs over head doesn’t help my racing heart as I
stalk toward my team, immediately doing a headcount, ensuring each and
every one of my men is accounted for.
My shoulders relax when I count eight men standing in a circle, until I
realize their attention is trained on the small, still figure in the center, and
dread pools in my stomach. No one answers my command; their silent
horror is answer enough as I draw near, pulling a growl from my chest in
response.
I grimace at the thick stench of copper filling the air, my nostrils flaring
at the bittersweet scent of death. I can feel my Dragon press against my
barriers, wanting out so he can find the person responsible for this senseless
crime and tear them limb from limb. But I push him back down, demanding
his submission, refusing to be bested by my beast.
My fingers ball into fists at my side as I stride over, shouldering past
Andrei before pulling up short, taking in the gruesome scene in front of me.
“Fuck!” I yell, startling a flock of ravens from the trees above, who cry
out their displeasure as they fly up into the darkening sky. My men take
several steps back as I release my magic, letting the wisps of blue crawl
from my fingertips to the pentagram etched in the dirt at my feet.
I take
deep, steadying breaths, noting the crescent moon shapes and other odd
symbols carved into the dark, moist earth before I let myself look at the
young girl’s pale white skin and brown hair. Her small body staked to the
ground in the center of the circle by a wooden stake protruding from her
mangled chest. The silver bark of the stake is almost sparking with the
amount of magic radiating from it.
“We’re too late,” I growl, clenching and unclenching my hands. Fury
filters through me as my magic mingles with the blood-soaked earth,
tearing apart the Demonic magic that is keeping my team from getting
closer to the dead student in front of us.
