Chapter 38: S2 Wisdom: Dig Deep, Child

Sophia Mahoney

Her face is familiar. Sophia has seen her before, but where?

The woman smiles, revealing a mouth full of jagged white teeth. Her movements, silent and fluid, make the black form-fitted skirt hugging her body swish back and forth. A pair of black silver-tipped boots cover her feet.

Sophia's thoughts grow hazy.

'Dig deep, child. We have met before. Actually, many times prior.'

Shaking her head, Sophia tries to clear the fog clouding her mind.

'Sophia, I know you can hear me because the wards are down.'

Tipping her head, the woman locks gazes with Sophia. Her dark violet eyes bore into her. Around her neck hangs a single necklace. A pear-shaped blood ruby. It's a sharp contrast to the black clothing she's wearing and her fair skin tone.

"Wait." Thoughts of Sophia's uncle wash through her mind. "I do know you." She's the woman in black - the one Sophia was forbidden to see. But she hasn't aged a day. Why?
