Chapter Twenty

Anna could feel the anger radiating from her mother. She knew what Ava thought before the words were even said.

“You foolish child!!! You’ve killed us all!!! You might as well have delivered us into the hands of the Blood Demon!” Ava shouted. They could feel the sense of urgency that enveloped their environment. The Blood Demon knew where they were, and he was coming.

“Do you even know what you’ve done, child?!” Ava pushed her. “I can feel his presence approaching and we’re not ready!!”

“As long as we work together, we can…” Ava cut her off.

“We can what huh? Do you think that the Blood Demon’s army is merciful? They don’t care who you are. They’ll take what they want from you by force if they must and kill you right after. We’re just energy cells to that monster…” Ava started to sound defeated.
