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 19

A figure appeared in the doorway, an hourglass in a gorgeous green dress. Today, it was strapless with a slight V to reveal the seam of Tessa's breasts. The color brought out the creaminess in her skin and the luster of her upswept blonde hair. She strutted forward, her hips punching the air on either side in time to her clicking heels. Her blue eyes flitted over the map as she stopped at the side, regarding it, then me, with a chilly, blank stare.

"I put you in the kitchen," she finally said. "Starting tomorrow, you'll work from seven in the morning to seven at night."

Twelve hours slaving in a hot kitchen for a roof over my head. I could definitely deal. "Okay."

She lifted her hand to one of the candles and snapped off some of the dried wax that had dripped over the holder. "You blow it once, I'll put you on bath duty. You blow it there..." She rubbed her fingers together and flicked the wax to the floor. "Well, I will have fulfilled my word to Hendry."
