On the ground, his mate Charlotte lays wide awake, except her eyes are black, even the white parts, her left foot is split into half and there is an eerie smile on her face!
Azraiel could feel his heart jump into his throat.
“Charlotte?” He tries calling her name, unable to recognize his own voice.
“Charlotte…” He tries again when she doesn’t react.
Azraiel gulps hard and calls for Katya. “Katya!”
She comes in rushing instantly.
As soon as she sees the state Charlotte is in, her jaw drops to the floor.
“What’s going on? Can you tell me what’s wrong with her?” He asks desperately.
Katya kneels on the floor beside Charlotte. She lifts her index finger and hesitantly touches Charlotte’s foot. As soon as her finger makes contact with Charlotte’s skin, she reels back in shock. It’s as if she has touched fire.
Wearily, she steps back and starts chanting a spell her mother taught her.
