Waiting For Darkness

The beast in front turned his horse around, whipped out his sword and just quick enough for Celia to blink he severed the head from the beast clean off. Celia's eyes grew wide and she nearly dropped the cup from her face forcing Faylinn to help hold it there. The now riderless horse bucked and kicked letting out cries that his rider was dead. The same beast with the sword looked deadly at the horse. Celia knew what was about to happen and before she could turn her head he brought the blade down with no restraint right into the back of the horse. The sword went cleanly out the other end of it's chest and the horse dropped like a sack of rocks. Celia screamed before she could think.

Just as Celia Connor thought her life couldn't get any worse after getting kicked out of a kid's play barn for the third time, She thought wrong. Talk about a 'spoke to soon' moment. Now Celia is on a quest with mythical creatures that her mother use to read about when she was a child. The 'Beasts' that chase her on the way keep calling her Onye a bụrụ ọnụ. What does that even mean? Nobody will tell her what's going on once a handsome Skinwalker saves her life along with a Wood Nymph. Now she must make it to their haven alive to see her family and finally defeat whatever has taken over her life.
