Eternal Curse: Battleground- chapter 5.4 (wip)

“Miss Mira,” said the young woman. She stared down at me, not with a look of amazement like all the others, but a look of suspicion. “Your husband is a half-breed; how is this so?”

Mira and I both looked up. Mira reached for the young woman’s hand and pulled her close. Mira asked her in a stern whisper. “Lisa, what do you know of half-breeds?”

Lisa answered, “My family, we are ScAvengers,” she said. “You two should come with me quickly. Someone else will come along to clean all this up. We Chandlers will be able to help you.” Mira and I quickly gathered our things and followed Lisa.

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 5.3 (wip)

My whole body trembled with fear and anxiety. I was relieved and terrified at the same time. Mira became sick and went off to a corner to throw up. I stood my guard over the burning body to keep the flames from spreading. I’d learned to contain fire around me, but so much had happened I only hoped I had enough strength and concentration left in me. I stood there until the body had turned completely to ash. When Mira returned she could barely speak recognizable words as she pushed her hands up into her face and swept them up over her hair. She dared not take a deep breath at the moment for fear she’d simply become nauseous again.

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 5.2 (wip)

Mira asked me to go inside the church with one of the other men to find all the things she needed to set up her medical station, and that’s when things went terribly wrong. I followed her friend Malik, who seemed like a nice enough guy with a simple face and cheery disposition, but once we entered the sanctuary he seemed to drift away from me.

As I entered the space, the usual calm I felt upon entering a church was not there; instead, I felt anxiety. I felt the pulse of a struggle taking place in the shadows. I could sense it and could almost feel the harm drifting along the surface of my skin. My body became hot all over and I knew something was happening. I continued to wonder, looking around frantically, and called out to Mira’s friend who I thought was looking for the equipment, but something was persistently tugging at my mind. Then I heard it call out to me.
