Chapter One Hundred and Eighty

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY

The soldiers standing behind Seth freeze in shock, as do I.

“Damien?” I murmur. “What’s going on?”

However, he doesn’t answer me, striding towards Seth. He doesn’t even look at his right hand man, his voice cold as he paused just beside him, “You are not forgiven either. But we’ll deal with that later. Start rounding everyone up.”

I see a portal open up beside me and just as Fera and Caleb walk through it, I see something dark begin to move about from the bottom of Damien’s shoes. This time I know what they are without asking.

The Whispers.

The move away from him on the ground, towards the castle, and Damien begins to walk inside, leaving me with Caleb and Fera.

Seth is following after Damien and I notice that one of the dark shadows is now below the group of soldiers standing. They’re frozen in place and at first I think it is out of fear and then I realise that it is more than that. They simply can’t move.
