Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 319: Vampire Virus
I was still standing there, staring at the glowing light, when the door behind me opened. I spun, tucking the box behind my back, as Charlotte strode in, fury snapping in her wolf eyes."You're free to go," she said with a snarl."I thought I had to stay in custody?" It was a real relief to know I could escape the room."Evidently not everyone was under the same rules," she said, her accent worse as her temper flared. "What is true for one must be true for all. When I spotted Odette and Benita Santos talking in the hall I told the Enforcers either make them return to their rooms or rescind the ridiculous order. The Enforcers weren't exactly all that willing to listen to reason.""Okay." I found myself grinning at her savage expression. "Obviously the first suggestion didn't go over. Mind telling me what you did to make them listen to the second?Charlotte's eyes tightened, her entire body wound like an animal ready to attack. "I didn't do anything," she said in a growl as her eyes
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 320: Influence
The coming darkness did nothing to make my battle any easier as the virus fully woke after the sun went down. I was happy to have Charlotte next to me as I stumbled my way to the hall and the Council chamber, only just pulling myself together long enough to make it to my seat before the virus's whispering temptations returned all over again.The Council had marched in while I fought the power inside the gem and I only came back to myself when I heard a familiar name being called.Sunny looked stunning as ever, poised like Mom, though her years were apparent in every inch of her. She held herself like a queen, as though she only appeared before the Council from the goodness of her heart.Her testimony flew by while I continued my battle with the virus. It kept tempting me, telling me how easy it would be to simply sweep all of the others before me away, whispering its lies and hope into my heart. I was startled back to myself to see Uncle Frank standing where Sunny had, his handsome
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 321: Necromancy
Charlotte's soft growl broke my shock."Necromancy is forbidden," the weregirl said, fear in her voice humming with her power."It is to ordinary witches. But not to Enforcers." Gram blew out a huff of breath, her impatience clear."Then get the Enforcers to do it." I tried to back away a step only to have Gram snatch my arm and jerk me back. "Gram, you're just going to make things worse." I could see her standing next to Mom, on trial for the second most forbidden crime in our culture."Dominic owns the Enforcers, in case you've forgotten." Gram let me go. "This is the only way. My former status should protect me.""But there is no promise of that." We weren't alone. Charlotte spun with a snarl, crouching between me and the black-robed man at the door. "Your position protected you once, but I can't promise it will do so again." Pender Tremere pulled back his hood, face wreathed in what looked like agony of indecision.Gram didn't seem shocked to find him standing there. "I have
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 322: Enforcer Assistance
Pender's breath whooshed out as he nodded slowly, though he looked afraid now."Very well," he said. "She will be our anchor."I knew the gist of what they were doing. Necromancy at least had been creepily fascinating enough I paid attention when Mom tried to teach me. Drawing out the soul echoes of the dead was only possible with a minimum of two people-one to do the searching and the other to act as an anchor to the real world. It wasn't the full soul they brought back, only a glimmer of who the person had been in life. The best part, the ghost was unable to lie, as though whatever they did in their time alive was imprinted permanently on the echo.But it had been a creepy lesson in my family basement. This was the real thing in the bowels of a mansion obviously built by those of power, whoever the maji were. Gram didn't give me time to think about it much longer, but wrapped her energy around me and, digging in her mental hooks, flung herself into the dark place between life and
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 323: Ghost Of A Friend
"Syd!" Alison's echo wavered before me, her blue eyes only a mirage of their old vibrancy. "Oh my God, Syd! You can see me!"I glanced at Gram, unable to speak, unable to move, my entire body frozen in grief.This could not be happening.Gram waved at the echo. "You must go back," she said. "We did not summon you, ghost."Alison ignored her. "I don't know what happened," she said, speaking rapidly, shooting off her narrative like machine gun fire, "I was driving, then there was water everywhere, Syd, it was dark and then I saw this light, but it was so bright and I was afraid. Then I saw Mom." She sobbed once. "She was crying! Syd, everyone was crying and my car, what happened to my car?" Alison spun around in a circle before returning her attention to me. "Where are we? You can see me!" She tried to hug me, but her echo only had enough substance there was soft resistance before she went right through me.My blood ran cold as the vampire virus pulsed when she passed over it.She
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 324: Confrontation
Yet again, I was unsurprised to find the brothers weren't alone. Ameline strolled in after them, looking around as if she was sizing the place up for herself. And, as usual, Mia trailed along behind her like a shadow."Where have you been, Syd?" Kristophe struck one of his model poses and cocked his head to the side, running his tongue over his lips. "We've been looking everywhere for you."Ah. I'd been starting to wonder why Batsheva was taking so long calling the Council back to order. Now I knew what she'd been waiting for."Here and there," I said, trying for nonchalant despite the ghost now clinging to my arm.Damn. Of all the terrible timing. If they found out about the necromancy, they could use it against me before Gram and Pender had a chance to release the echoes they carried.But the Dumonts ignored my ghostly friend as if she was insignificant. It just proved to me further, they were morons.Someone in a dark cloak hovered in the window. Even though I couldn't see a f
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 325: Talk With Mom
Down we went again, this time taking the same stairs as I'd used to locate the vampire's new resting place. Only this time, when we hit the bottom, the Enforcer led me through the first door on the right. I stared down the corridor at the guarded entrance to the vampire's lair, but only two more black-robed witches met my gaze.Night time, right. The vampires were already gone.The door didn't make a sound, and I found myself holding my breath in the stillness of the hallway. Just the soft tread of our feet on the thick carpet broke the quiet.Two more Enforcers waited at the end of the hall, outside an iron door. My guide came to a halt before them, suddenly less sure of himself if his tone was any indication."The Hayle coven leader," he said. "To see... the Hayle coven leader."Snicker.It would have been funny, really, his confused tone, if this wasn't so freaking serious.One of the guards looked me up and down like he wasn't sure I was legit. Hello temper flare. Before he
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 326: Gram's Plan
It was almost dawn by the time Sebastian finished speaking and left the room to return to his casket. I found myself yawning and rubbing my eyes, sure I now had mascara and eye shadow everywhere, but not really caring.The others looked as weary as I did, so at least I wasn't doing the frazzled thing alone. As the Council filed out, I heard the gathered witches whispering.It wasn't good. Despite the testimony they'd heard, it was clear they were leaning the wrong way in our little fight. Not that I was surprised now that I knew Batsheva was leaning on them, but I was disappointed in the pack of sheep I'd spent the last two and a half days with.Baa.Home was a distant dream I stumbled into as the sun rose. Quaid guided me to bed and left me there, carrying my out-cold sister to her room before curling up next to me, my head tucked into his shoulder, where we both fell into death-like sleep.When I woke, I was alone, the scent of food making my mouth water. The time on the clock m
