Sin-Reaper
K.N. Lee
Fear
dominated Raina’s thoughts. Home no longer existed. Her brother was gone. All
she had was her power and the white-haired man that had rescued her.
This
could not be real.
“Not
again,” Raina mumbled through the bone-searing pain. Her blood dripped all over
the stranger with the silver eyes that made her dare to hope they could
survive.
Raina
gripped his hand and stifled a cry as the second shot of light ripped through
her thigh. The noise filled her ears as the pain burned through her muscles.
Raina
shrieked and without pause, he threw her over his shoulder and continued
running through the snow covered forest.
Wolves
howled and warned their pack that creatures more dangerous than themselves were
in their territory. Even with two gushing wounds, Raina feared what she could
do to those men…to the world if she let the buried power within free.
The
pain threatened everything.
“Calm
yourself, Raina,” the stranger growled as he leapt across a rushing river and
landed on the other side. “We will lose him and you will recharge. Trust me.”
Raina
felt herself losing her grip on her power. So much blood dripped onto his bare
chest from her wounds. Raina’s eyes rolled into the back of her head.
“Trust
me,” he begged in between labored breaths. “I won’t let him have you.”
Raina
nodded. She knew it was useless to tell him that she knew they were not going
to make it. He would never believe her.
A
chill ran throughout her entire body, making her eyes pop open in alarm. She
expected to see the moon, but the cloak of a shadow blocked its light.
He
was getting closer.
Naked,
cold, and bleeding, Raina began to cry. This was not the first time, nor the
one hundredth. She knew that they weren’t going to make it out of Seether.
Not
with their souls.
They
never did. The man with the black eyes, and the black crow, always won.
