Chapter 23: Elodie

Being dead was not at all what I'd expected. Instead of the proverbial white light and warmth, after that initial flash everything went dark and cold. Agonizing. It occurred to me then that maybe werewolves go to hell, and I had skipped right on by the pearly gates.

Well damn, that sucked.

Something moved beside me. I heard it shift, heaving a great weight to its feet and making the leaves crackle. That startled me enough to suck in a breath and try to pry my eyes open.

Wait, a breath? Did you need to breathe in the afterlife? Maybe old habits died hard. But no, once my lungs got a taste of oxygen, they started heaving to suck in more. I was still working on the eyes, but they really were not wanting to cooperate.
