This witch was rele way

Aye, she ht be the answer to m’problems, but the affect she had on m’system, on m’body, told me, here was trouble

Her old all around her Gold particles sparkled off her crea Such eyes Never have I seen their like

And then it happened, the thirst

I have nae felt such a thirst in years

Here in my banished realm—Trinity, I have all the nourishment I need This realle are anih I dinnae kill I take what I need, only what I need

Bloody hell, but her scent wafted over me as she passed within inches of me How can this be? I haven’t been able to touch or s on the other side…in twenty-two years How is this possible? And her blood…I can feel its pulse and it pinches m’thirst

I can see everything on the other side ofin the Huetting through?

I studied her, this unusual lass, this Roberta Skye

She was, och aye, quite a ravishing creature and I couldna take m’eyes off her lips, lush and rosy, pursed as she allowed her thoughts to take her expressions I watched her as she entered the Keep

I followed her, listened to her, och aye, but the sound of her voice shiht and quixotic, and when she came close to the invisible wall between this realm and hers, I felt desire so deep I took a step back

What was happening? Over the years, I have the curse and the blessing of being able to look on le of Trinity

The jungle holds the wall between our torlds, but never before have I been able to pick up on the scent of someone in the human world

I watched as Bobbie Skye tried to win a smile from Davis and then Mrs Tunny They didn’t want her there They both made that fact obvious, but it did nae deter her

And it occurred to er…what have I done? Damn, bloody damn, but I hated Allora
