Chapter 4 -The First Full Night of Hunting

Imagem
  Chapter 4 The First Full Night of Hunting The world had changed. The forest was no longer a mass of indistinct trunks and branches. Each tree gave off its own scent: sweet resin, damp moss, leaves carrying the sharp smell of freshly cut sap. The wind carried the scent of animals hidden beneath the earth, and even the buzzing of an insect sounded like thunder inside my mind. I raised my head. The sky, which had once seemed black and endless to me, was now a pulsating tapestry. I could see stars hidden from human eyes, and each one seemed to vibrate like a distant drum. The stranger, my mentor, watched me with the same enigmatic smile. “Go. Hunt.” I obeyed, driven by a hunger that was both pain and ecstasy. I moved through the forest with supernatural speed. My feet barely touched the ground. With every leap, the leaves stirred into whirlwinds, and my eyes could even catch a single drop of dew being crushed beneath my feet. It was not long before I heard voices. Two men wer...

  Chapter 3 The Stranger and the Bargain The forest was alive. Every tree exhaled a damp, ancient breath. Every branch snapped like the bones of something long dead. I ran through the shadows, yet I no longer knew whether I was running from something—or toward it. The cold bit into my skin. Tears froze upon my cheeks. Then I felt him. First came the sound: soft footsteps, nearly inaudible, as though the leaves themselves bowed to welcome his arrival. Then came the scent. Not sweat. Not earth. Spices and iron. And finally, I saw him. A tall figure emerged from the darkness, carrying himself with the bearing of an exiled prince. His eyes were an impossible shade of blue, so deep they seemed capable of swallowing the soul. The pale light of the full moon shimmered within them. “Emma Valcourt…” His voice was low and powerful. How did he know my name? “Death has taken everything from you,” he said. “But I can give it back.” I stepped backward, instinctively tightening my grip around the...

  Review of the ebook “All chapters will be published on the blog.” Chapter 1 The Encounter Paris, France, twenty-first century. The café was steeped in a bittersweet haze of burning incense, laced with the metallic tang of rusted iron. Elias Montgomery, an American pastor and writer of thirty, drew a long breath, striving to mask his unease. He had chosen this dim Parisian café, with its low ceiling and muted light, because an anonymous message on his phone had promised that here he would find the subject of his life—the fantastic yet real story no one else dared to record. The door opened. A gust of cold air swept through, snuffing out a candle on the counter. And then she entered. Emma Valcourt. Her blonde curls spilled over her shoulders with a liquid grace. Her face, seemingly fixed in the youth of twenty-three, betrayed none of the decades—or centuries—she carried. In the moist gleam of her eyes flickered both innocence and cruelty. “Pastor Montgomery?” she asked in h...
