you to do, and that is, take the role of high priestess, then you’ll wish you never met the guy. I don’t really care that you love him; you knew what you were doing.”
I tried to look like I didn’t care, but Marlena knew she had me now. It was apparent in the way she smiled, in the way she looked at me. She always looked at me that way when she was right and I was wrong. It didn’t happen often and she relished victory.
I vaguely wondered why she was doing all the talking, and not Nema.
“If you don’t do what we want you to do, it will be easy,” she said and the next moment they were all gone. They’d evaporated like mist in the morning sun, and I was left alone in my living room with the echo of her words ringing through my head.
I picked up the phone.
“Devan, hi,” I said, and I didn’t try to hide that I was crying.
“What is it?” he asked when he heard me.
“I… my family… I can’t do this,” I hiccupped into the phone.
“Listen to me. I thought something like this would happen. You have to remember that I am in it for the long run. I don’t want to lose you, and I’ll do anything, no matter what it takes. Okay?”
I nodded as he went on, talking all the fear away. He had a way with words, and he was kind and gentle, telling me that he didn’t want to lose me and that he would go through anything for me, do anything to spend the rest of his life with me. He told me how much he loved me and how his life had changed, and as the conversation went on, my crying subsided.
“I love you too,” I said finally, before hanging up.
It was going to be a long run, but somehow we could make it. That’s what it was about, wasn’t it? That love could conquer all?
I heard a scream echoing through my head, followed by a cackle, and I knew that voice. It was Marlena. She was still in my head, somehow.
What had I done?

About the Author
Larissa Ladd is a dreamer with insights fresh as the frost newly formed on the twig whose snap echoes through the moonlit forest. Since as a child she discovered the storybook world of ghouls and goblins, she's been a devotee of the eerie, the supernatural, and all that raises the hairs on the back of the neck. Her spine still shivers with delight when she huddles fearfully in a darkling corner, enthralled in suspenseful tales from her favorite authors Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and John Saul. Feast your eyes on the scintillating flashes of garish color dabbed forth from her pen.
