Dream Continuation From Last Chapter:
"You have no lifemate," Maya heard her mother said, denying the truth. "You have only dreamed of her."
" You cannot trap me with such deceit. Go to your puppet master and tell him I am not so easily caught." Maya answered, and broke off the connection immediately and slammed closed all pathways, private and common, to her mind.
Spinning around, she took in her enemy, grown into so many faces from her past. She knew she was facing death.
"Come then, dance with me as you have so many times," She ordered the creatures and beckoned with her fingers.
The first line of creatures closest to her howled, spittle running down their faces and holes for eyes glowing with hatred.
"Join us, sister. You are one of us." They swayed, feet carrying out the strange hypnotic pattern of the undead.
She heard them calling to her, but the sound was more in her head than out of it.
