Deidamia sliced through me, my body turning to smoke and forming once she made it through. It felt like a prickle up my spine.
She curled her long skinny fingers over the window.
Her body began to shake in anger until a roar ripped from deep in her chest. It shook me until I backtracked out of the room and down the stairs. How was I supposed to keep up?
Was I supposed to?
Would he find a way to save me?
He looked like he knew a little magic but more so to fight than awaken the poor human girl that didn’t have a chance.
I made it out of the castle and into the night.
The wolf sat by the bayou, staring up at Deidamia’s window as her scream still lingered in the air.
“He got her,” the wolf said.
I almost felt an inch of pride in his tone.
Maybe he appreciated Kellan for standing up to her. I know I sure as hell did.
I stumbled around the opposite side of the castle, running into Kellan. He stood with my lifeless body in his arms, his gaze settled over me like a heated storm.
The silence between us was tight. Every time I shifted, he reacted in some way. The muscles in his deltoids jumped under his flesh. “Follow me,” he said gruffly. “Keep up.”
Many questions formed in my head, but I didn’t ask them.
How would I get back into my body? Why was he the only person that could see me?
I swallowed them down with the fear of being caught by this madwoman. Then rushed after his large frame as he led me toward what I hoped was my salvation.
Chapter Fifteen
Kellan
What have I gotten myself into?
Josie lay lifeless in my arms, her limbs swinging as I raced her through the Dark Woods in an attempt to escape Deidamia.
Then there was her spirit following behind us like a freaking walking nightmare. I’d been shocked to see her in Deidamia’s castle, but she didn’t look surprised to see me. I intended to find out why.
Her presence had my spine stiff as I led us to cover in the woods. I needed to get out of sight before Deidamia sent out whatever she had planned to kill us. I couldn't even fathom what someone like Deidamia had up her sleeve.
The dark shadows of the forest fell over us as I laid Josie down on a bed of dead leaves and stood up.
I nearly jumped when I saw her spirit standing beside me.
I felt the need to reach out and touch her, but I didn’t dare. There were too many emotions rushing through me at the sight of her. The urgent need to get us the hell out of dodge needed to be my first conquest.
Stepping forward, I attempted to open a portal back to our realm.
The portal closed quicker than it opened.
“That doesn’t look good,” she said from behind me.
I glanced back at her dirty face and big blue eyes.
“I need to concentrate.”
