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 48

Stunned, I flew my hands to my neck as if to put back what she took from me. My own mother. I searched the space where seconds before she'd stood. Bitter tears scorched the backs of my eyes. How could she kill me, her own daughter?

Battles raged around me, but I couldn't process who was where as I bled out. Crimson rivers leaked between my fingers and down my wrists where they gathered in a pool before plunking steadily to the carpet, marking the brief time I had left.

I sank to my knees, bumping against something hard. Spells and magic zipped over burnt pews. Fangs flashed white against the charred backdrop.

"Fin!" someone called to my right.

I turned and locked gazes with Hendry, who stood in the side aisle. He stared in horror, the whites of his eyes blazing, his hand jerking to the pocket where I knew the adrenaline needle would be. That would hardly help if I was bleeding to death, though. Even so, he plowed his way toward me.
