Page 66 of Blood Crow

There are no gasps or outbursts of any kind from the silent witches around us. Even as Elsie uses her power to drop the body on top of Merelda, none of them speak a word.

Instead, they all turn and disappear back into the woods.

Suddenly my vision changes. No longer is my family standing before me. I'm in the same field where we burned Merelda but the sight in front of me is a bloody battle and there is a large wooden stake in the center. All around me Blood Crows and witches are killing each other and my stomach lurches at the gory sight.

"NOOOO!" I hear Drac's howl and I turn back to the center where the wooden stake is. Tied to the pole with fire licking around her is my baby sister, Roxy.

"May the River Crow die the death of a Witch!"

A scream rips through me as my vision comes back to the present. Everyone surrounds me and lifts me from my knees. But I hug Roxy close to me and make eye contact with Drac.

He must see the fear in my eyes because he rips his shirt from his chest and howls in a rage, tearing at his hair like a wild man.

Our war is not over. Making a legacy for my sisters will never be over. Well fuck that, if these Witches want a fight, they'll have to kill us all before they can lay a finger on my sister.

I'm RonnymotherfuckingCrow and if blood is what they want, I’ll pour them a river.
