I knew I wasn’t dead but I was close to it. After Alastair bit me, all I could feel was pain radiating throughout my entire body. It felt like a thousand tiny needles were going through me at the same time. I couldn’t move or speak at all and then everything went black. For a while, it was just black, like I was suspended in a limbo or something. I could hear everything that went on around me. I heard the physicians say that there was no cure. I heard Ryker when he whispered in my ears but I could not speak or even move until one moment.

I don’t know how it happened but one second, I was in a limbo and the next, my hand was grabbed and everything came crashing down. I wouldn’t be able to explain it even if I tried. I just blinked one moment and although I was in the darkness, I wasn’t suspended anymore. It was almost like I was now aware of myself. A part of me knew that it meant I was slipping further into death but I couldn’t bring myself to care when I noticed who was holding my hand.

“Mother?” I blinked a few times to be sure it was her but the figure in front of me did not change. She smiled softly at me and I couldn’t help but throw my hands over her shoulders.

She had not changed one bit. Her hair was tied in a perfect chignon and she had on a dress of rubies. She looked happier than she did while she was alive and I was grateful that death was treating her kindly. She deserved all the happiness in the world.

“I wasn’t expecting to see you around here soon,” she pulled back from me and then slapped the back of my head. “Maybe if you stop throwing yourself into bad situations then you wouldn’t need to be here.”

“What are you talking about?” I mumbled as I rubbed the sore spot that she hit. “I didn’t even do anything.”

“Camilla, darling, I have been watching every single one of your actions since I died; would it kill you to talk to Ryker every once in a while before you make a decision?” I opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off. “Don’t answer that, we don’t have a lot of time. I need to make this as quick as possible.”

“What do you mean?” Is something happening?”

“I shouldn’t be here. I was sent here by the goddess to speak to you. She thought it would be better if I was the one who came. There is only so much she can do

before she upsets the balance of the world,” I was still so confused but I just nodded. “That vampire, Alastair, he has lived for longer than you can imagine. He was one of the first vampires ever created. To understand how to defeat them, you need to understand how they came to be.”

She led me to sit cross legged on the ground. I didn’t even realize there was a bottom because of how dark everything was.

“The vampires were created as a mistake. There were two witches who were in love. They were from different covens who were banned from ever relating with each other. They were both extremely powerful and everyone knew that if they got together, they would be unstoppable. They ran away so that they could be happy but they didn’t count on being betrayed. They were hunted like animals for sport and one day, while in the woods, the woman was cut down in the trees. The male witch felt her pain and he rushed over to see his beloved bleeding out on the forest floor.”

“He called out to the go ds to heal her but they wouldn’t. The go ds knew that what the covens feared was true. If they did procreate, they would be unstoppable. When the man realized that no one was coming to his aid, he decided to do something that no one should- blood magic.copy right hot novel pub
