"What’s the estihts of the newly dead, so if Aht have trouble seeing into her mind Froer awhile after the body dies I don’t knohy, ht or stay earthbound All I kneas, once the spirit departs, I’ able to connect to the dead always made me feel unique I haven’t ever met another witch who can do what I can The Goddess had bestowed me with a power I had yet to understand
"A citizen found her around nine last night Our forensics tea on the same day, sometime within four hours from when her body was found," Wyatt said in a sole her last thoughts" I set Aura’s pet carrier down and walked over to where Amy’s body lay under the white sheet My hand hesitated to make contact, since that was my least favorite part of the process I pulled the sheet back to reveal her face and gasped at how young she looked, hteen Her complexion was paler than any vampire’s and her red hair looked like it hadn’t been washed in a while
"You okay, Gwen?" Wyatt asked froave hi I really hope you catch the bastard who did this"
"Agreed," Wyatt said I walked over to where Aura sat and bent down on one knee to peer into her carrier, "You ready, girl?" She meowed her affirirl" I could feel Aura’s power vibrating through her fur as she prepared to feed ic We were invisibly connected as witch and fa
Returning my attention to Amy, I stood at the head of the table and placed my hands on either side of her face, with h ht ahead and drew energy fro twisted and curled beforethe room disappear into a cloudy abyss I concentrated on Amy’s soul that lay just under the skin I could see the outline of trees and what looked like buildings silhouetted against the night sky, but they weren’t cohter to Ay that Aura supplied A scene appeared within my vision and I could make out that the part of town Amy was in was rundown and desolate Storefronts with "Out of Business" signs lined a deserted road and off in the distance, a dilapidated warehouse stood
The vision flickered and threatened to vanish, but I pushed forith h Amy’s eyes I saw and felt what she saw and felt in her last h I were running The surrounding scenery bobbed up and doith my heavy footfalls I turned and looked overme I worriedly looked all over but still didn’t see anyone Sohted my hand and I looked down to see that A it into her attacker’s chest, he was on her
The rundon disappeared and I was strapped to a musty cot It looked like I was in a warehouse of soh diluted and weak I flungto break the straps that heldpinch asped at the needle that hung from my arm I followed the plastic tube that carried s that hospitals use to store blood The sound of footsteps diverted my attention fro I couldn’t make out his face It flickered, like the connection was bad, or maybe Amy’s soul didn’t want to reht hair and was dressed in jeans and a zip-up hoodie He looked to be around five-foot-nine and his body appeared lean and muscular under his clothes Other than that, I couldn’t make out his features He knelt down and fixed the needle that was on its way out of Amy’s arm We cried out as the pain radiated up our forearm "Don’t worry, luv, it’ll all be over soon," the lish accent

"That never ceases to creep ht back to what I had witnessed, muddled memories really, but I discovered a location, a warehouse of some sort
"Maybe, does the FPD have any leads or ideas as to who did this?" I asked, curious to see if s would coincide with theirs Wyatt flipped open a manila folder that lay on the stainless steel table and scanned the files inside
"We assu means a vampire did this, but there isn’t any concrete evidence as of yet," he answered I nodded my head and went to uncover the arh, a small red pinprick was evident on A to Amy’s arm, "was made with a needle Whoever kidnapped her didn’t drain her with his fangs" Wyatt caet a better look at the s"
