Sadie Reed
A rap at the door makes Sadie jump. "Don't give me to them. Please." Her eyes fill with
tears. "Ethan, do something. Please, I don't want to go."
Ethan, still coughing, rises. He takes two steps.
"Can't let you do that, little brother." Cole grabs Ethan and holds him in a neck lock,
stopping him dead in his tracks.
The door swings open, revealing a woman with red, curly hair and skin as pale as snow.
"I am Agartha MacLauchlan, high priestess of the Formilia coven and the head of the
Order of the Covens' Creed. I demand a word with the Kindred female, Sadie Reed, and an
audience with Cain and the Cotter whelps."
"No," Sadie's voice quivers. "I don't want to go. Please. I'll do anything you ask. Please,
don't send me out there."
Ethan lunges forward, ripping free of Cole's hold. "Sadie."
"Don't make me hurt you." Cole wrestles Ethan to the ground, restraining him. "Stay
down."
