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 36

I stepped Lucy and me to the side of Hendry to see the Berkano better. "I-I'm Fin. This is Lucy. That's Hendry."

"Philip," the vampire said.

A regular, everyday name. He didn't seem all that different from us. Right now, at least.

"Your voices are hypnotic," Philip said. "My people have enjoyed hearing you these last few nights, and we appreciate your blood offering. More than you know. Thank you."

His people. Surely that included more than the two folks sitting immobile behind him. If so, the rest of them had to be lurking in the shadows. We could've been surrounded. And grossly outnumbered. I forced myself to exhale. That had been the wrong thought process to follow.

"I would also like to say how sorry I am for the death of your friend," he said. "We know that we can't drink from witches, but the thirst is sometimes too great and turns us into feral beasts. Truly, we don't deserve your blood offerings, but they are helping us. We're all humbled and very sorry."
