[EIRA]

With a snap of her fingers, the ropes keeping Damien bound to the chair vanished before her eyes. His clothes were completely soaked in sweat and Eira still saw the few burns that covered the exposed skin of his arms. The pale moonlight entering past the open windows soaked into his face giving it a dangerous gleam. His hair was a curled mess,concealing parts of his sharp, pale face, including his eyes that were closed. He lay there, so still that for a moment, the witch feared he was dead. She sensed Nate tensing beside her and knew he was thinking the same.

When she tugged at the vampire's shoulder, his unconscious body fell off the chair and his face collided against the cold floor. A groan left his parched lips. Eira ignored his helpless state completely, unable to let go of the sore pain in her own chest. Nate instinctively reached forward to lift him up, but when Eira passed him a look, he stilled again.

    [EIRA]The night slipped away peacefully for Eira who was wrapped the whole time in Nate's arms. She felt happy and safe in his embrace. When the first rays of sunshine met her face, she woke with a smile. But it did not last there for long. While her sleep was dreamless the previous night, she still intended to tell about her previous ones to Josh.The circle of thirteen witches. All with disfigured faces but one.Eira had doubted once if her dreams meant anything. The warlock that introduced her to all of witchcraft had once mentioned that she may be a seer. That she may have the ability to see things, those which other eyes could not. Things from the past and the future. She did not believe him then, not fully atleast, but the events from the previous night had done enough to grant proof for his words. Her recurring dream of running from a wolf in the red Bloodivy woods of the Centaurus forest beneath a full moon was a vision, a warning of some kind f

    [EIRA]Carena’s voice echoed in her ears and she realised what her words meant; the sapphire gem in Dana’s bracelet was the other part of the Videns viribus. It would fit perfectly in the bone that was possessed by the werewolves, completing the talisman and thus granting them the power to attack. She knew what she had to do and she had to do it fast.However, the scene faded away in front of her eyes before she could do anything. The sun scurried down the horizon and within a blinking the full moon graced the sky. When Eira’s eyes lowered from the sky, she saw that the field was gone and was replaced by the Centaurus forest. The wind blowing swayed the branches of the Bloodivy trees that proudly stood high from the ground, and in the centre of the groove, she found the circle of the thirteen witches. They were holding each other's hands and chanting in unison. Someone’s agonising cries filled the night sky. Eira knew she had no time to waste but she barely had the ability to control

  • After The Night   Epilogue

    [JOSH]Even ten days after the massacre at the Black Hall, not a single soul involved that day could stop thinking about how all of it could've been prevented if only a few trustful, true words had been exchanged. The effect was seen on each one. Many lost their lives and many others people who they cared about. The signs of recovery however were blooming all around. People were forgiven for their bad deeds out of the kindness of the hearts of those who had been at the suffering end. Surprising to Josh, Eira had been strangely calm about having Raven in the mansion. The latter refused to return to the Black Hall and although she denied it, the warlock knew, deep inside she was mourning for Alexander. Nate—another surprise to him—had been chosen to represent the vampires in the supernatural coucil. The bloodsuckers had been oddly agreeable and united about peace—again another surprise for the warlock."Are you giving up already?" Josh asked when he saw Eira lazily throw the herbs in
