Blood song

No talking, stay out of the shadows, don't go out at night, survive... Fin Vee is the chief hangman's daughter at the Church of Hangmen. Everyone has high hopes for her to continue the witch ritual that keeps the Berkano vampires away. When she steps on stage to sacrifice the little girl with the dazzling blue eyes, and doesn't, the Berkano come fast and furious to demand their sacrifice. The only safe place is within the walls of the Church, but the Church casts Fin out, leaving her with the annoyingly silent Hendry to guide her. The Berkano only speak telepathically, so speaking out loud in the city's streets is a death sentence. But as Fin discovers the truth about her beloved city and her Church, she finds she has a lot to say. And so do her new allies: a band of cowboy witches intent on overthrowing the Berkano, whatever the risk may be. Even if that risk is death. Blood Song is created by Lindsey R. Loucks, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 10

Hendry led the way out into the baking sun. We moved quickly to the middle of the road, making sure not to linger in the small patches of shade from nearby cars parked along the curb.

I took the end of the ladder closest to us since that was what we'd planned, and Hendry moved past to pick up the end closest to the building we aimed for. The metal scorched my fingertips and dug the embedded window shards deeper into my skin, but I swallowed back the pain and ignored it the best I could.

We sped for the front doors, which were made of glass and boarded up from the inside. Garlic bulbs hung from twine on the outside. A patch of shade clung to the ground in front of the door. Hendry didn't slow, but surely we were looking at the same entrance. Was he going to try to barrel through? If he rammed it enough times with the ladder, he'd still be caught in the shade for however long that took.
