The Thirteenth Sacrifice (2012)
“The silent prayer burst from Samantha, desperate and uncontrolled.
A tremor shook the floor beneath her feet.
Bridget’s eyes widened in concern. Samantha knew that she had to act soon or lose everything she had worked to gain.
She closed her eyes and tipped the goblet back into her mouth. The hot, sticky blood oozed over her tongue and down her throat and she willed her body not to gag on it even as it started to. The taste of copper filled her mouth and every muscle in her body vibrated in rev...ulsion and agony.
Finally it was done and she lowered the goblet and wiped her mouth.
Bridget took the cup from her and stood slowly. “Our sacrifice has been made and accepted,” she said.
The others rose. Then, silently, they turned and began to file up the stairs.
Samantha’s legs were shaking, but she hurried to join the others, more than ever determined not to be one of the last ones in the basement. She snuffed her candle and handed it to the witch collecting them in the kitchen, then hurried outside.MoreLess
