Seducing Death by Cassandra Lawson

Kyleigh stopped listening to their conversation as the cold breeze of the shadows grew

nearer. Time was almost up, and she still didn’t have a plan to save Ian’s life. The smart thing to

do was to walk away knowing she’d done her best, but she’d watched Ian too long. No, she

would not give up when Ian’s soul was so close to redemption.

“Maybe we should head back in. I’ll message Connor and see what he thinks,” Ian’s friend

said, but it was too late. Both vampires heard the danger approaching. His friend pulled out the

handheld crossbow and a knife while Ian drew two knives.

“Well, isn’t this a stroke of luck,” called out a human as he emerged from the woods

followed by six others.

“Is there something we can help you with, human?” Ian asked casually. His hands had

dropped to his sides, but he still held the knives. This came as no surprise. She’d seen him in

action enough to know this vampire rarely let his guard down.

“I think you already have,” the human said.

Kyleigh saw the inner struggle in both vampires. They obviously suspected the humans

were up to no good, but both were too noble to kill them without provocation. That was new for

Ian. No longer shrouded in darkness, Ian wouldn’t kill unless he had to.

Several other vampires stepped out of the trees, surrounding Ian and his friend. Kyleigh

was all too familiar with this type of vampire. These creatures kept her busy many days. Quickly

scanning the group, she found that all the innocent souls had been freed. With this newer virus

they were sometimes trapped in the undead body, which was a form of torture she wouldn’t wish

on the most evil person. She had yet to figure out how that was even possible, or why one of her

kind wasn’t summoned to free the poor soul.

Ian and his friend reacted immediately. The knives in Ian’s hands found their marks in the

hearts of two vampires, and Ian’s friend shot the crossbow at another vampire. Kyleigh watched

the battle before her with a sense of helplessness. They were too outnumbered and there was no

way to win. Even now, the shadows moved in, hungry for death and sin. Rubbing her arms

against the cold breeze that preceded the shadows, she watched in horror as Ian was surrounded.

A scream no one would hear escaped her lips when the knife sliced through Ian’s chest. He

collapsed to the ground, blood soaking the leaves. Her form wavered in and out with her rage.

Despair began to settle around her, but she refused to let it control her. Ian was too close to being

saved to lose him now. Whatever it took, the shadows would not claim his soul.

“Take the blond alive!” shouted one of the humans, obviously referring to Ian’s friend.

“Damaged is fine, but he has to survive with no damage to his face!”

Determination flashed in Ian’s eyes, and his soul brightened as he worked hard to conceal

his phone while sending a message. Then he buried the phone. Soon the blond vampire was

unconscious, and Ian was struggling for life.

“Should we finish off the other one?” asked one of the humans. “Looks like he’s still

alive.”

Kyleigh held her breath, praying to a god who’d long ago abandoned her that they would

just leave.

The leader laughed. “Looks like he’s in a lot of pain,” he said with a vicious sneer.

The urge to use violence against the human who obviously enjoyed the pain of others came

as a surprise to Kyleigh. It was a relief when they left the area so she could make her way toward

Ian. His weakened state meant she had only seconds to save his life. Her decision made, she

emerged from the trees, becoming visible to Ian.

Ian’s beautiful green eyes opened and focused on her as she approached him.

“Kate.” His voice was barely a whisper.

“Don’t worry,” she said in a soft reassuring voice, trying to hide her fear as the shadows

closed in around them. “You’re going to be okay, but we need to get you out of here.”

Wrapping them in her power, she bound Ian’s soul to his body. Thankfully he picked that

moment to lose consciousness, so she didn’t have to explain what was about to happen.
