Darkened Shadow

All that changes the night she stalled a teenager, Merry Larson into the shadows-and becomes a pawn caught in a war between two very different men. One fills her mind with his madness, the other pushes his way into her life and her heart. Shirley knows how risky love can be, but if she wishes to survive, she must position her faith in a man who could handily demolish her. Ethan Hunt has come to Aquila assumed to end the conflict between himself and another brother of the night by the name Flinch. For 400 years he has prevailed in life's darkness, slowly studying how to control the life from death of a vampire. Shirley did not only block his dangerous boundaries with her psychic capacities but makes Ethan believe that he might have found a lady that is strong enough to walk by his side and alleviate the loneliness in his heart. But will his affection be enough to shield her from a crazy man hell-bent on vengeance? Or will it steer her into his enemy's deadly ambush? For them to overcome this evil that threatens them, they must stay together, But the secrets they keep from each other might prove to be the greatest threat of all.

Stay with me

The trick was finding Ethan and getting him out. She placed the cup on the sill and reached into her pocket, drawing out the silver cross.

Warmth pulsed through her palm. She clenched her fingers around the cross and closed her eyes, reaching for any images that might lie within the cross's heart.

Nothing.

Ethan was alive, but he was still mind dead. She couldn't connect with him, not through the cross and not through the link.

She opened her eyes, her gaze drawn to the southwest. He was there. And in need of help.

She grabbed a pen, scrawled a note to Ben then grabbed her coat and ran out into the

night.

Ethan eased over the enclosure wall and padded quietly toward the exit. Though his thirst was finally sated, he felt no more energetic.

His body had taken a pounding over the last few hours, and it had pushed his natural healing capabilities to the extreme. It would be days before he regained full strength.
