~EXCERPT~
My heart felt as
if it would burst from my chest as I watched hopelessly while Ethryen ascended
into midair, his fingers tightly wrapped around Chace’s neck.
"Chace!" I cried, running towards them.
Jesse grabbed my
arm and tugged me back. "Don’t!" he warned as Ethryen floated
over the dark pit with Chace. "He’ll drop him."
"Do something!"
I screamed at him, and then looked across at Ophelia and the man with long gray
hair.
They took slow
steps forward but halted when Ethryen yelled, "Back! Or I’ll release him
to the depths of this pit!"
"Why can’t
you just give up?" Chace choked out. "It’s over!"
Ethryen growled.
"It’s never over!" He drenched himself in a massive amount of red
flames. It seeped from his body and trailed along the rocks to the ground of
the cave, blazing all around us. "Give me the amulet or watch them
die!"
Chace struggled
to free himself, clawing at Ethryen’s fiery hand at his neck.
I moved forward
again. Jesse wrenched me back. "We have to help him!" I shouted
through clenched teeth.
Ethryen glared
down at me, cackling viciously. He commanded his flames to blaze higher. It
flared in front of me and Jesse, forcing us back against the rocks. Jesse moved
me behind him, protecting me from the flames. I tightly grasped his arm,
desperate, wanting so badly to stop Ethryen once and for all.
The monster spun
back to Chace. "The amulet!" he barked. "Release the power to
me! Now!"
Chace gazed down
at me with widened eyes, remorse veiling his face. Then with his left hand he
started to rifle in his pocket.
"Don’t do
it!" Ophelia urged. She tried to diminish Ethryen’s flames with her own,
but it was useless. The fire only blazed more, keeping us back.
Fearing for our
lives, Chace snatched the amulet out of his pocket and held it up before
Ethryen.
"No!"
Dorin, the older man, and Ophelia shouted all at once.
"Speak the
words!" Ethryen ordered. "Now!"
"Stop your
flames first!" Chace bargained, tight-lipped and fuming.
Ethryen growled,
"Do you really think you can bargain with me, boy?" He waved his free
hand and the red flames edged closer to us. Our backs pressed against the
rocks. Should his fire touch our bodies it would have the same impact on the
others as it did on me earlier. And I wasn’t sure I’d survive another hit like
that.
"I’ll do
it!" Chace hollered fearfully, his hand shaking with the amulet. He looked
down at me, and I knew what he was about to do. Chace would give Ethryen what
he wanted just so he could protect me.
I couldn’t allow
it.
There must be a
way to stop this.
