Chapter 33

I walked from side to side, my heart racing.

My sweating hands and the room though huge seemed to get smaller with every step I took, days had passed since the night of the Changing, as far as I knew Dimitri and Mr. Leon had gone to rescue Mr. Sallow.

Lina explained to me about the war of the Minkovis Secret Order, very effective assassins, I had no more foreboding since that night, and John avoided me as if I were the devil.

The door opened and Lina came in.

— Ah! Lina!

— Madam is not a good idea. — she said.

Tomorrow morning the elders would arrive, and I would be introduced to them, but before that I had to go to the temple, find the priestess of which Dimitri spoke, Whatever was happening to me I didn’t trust that elders who decreed the death of women they thought had cunning powers could help me, I needed to see the priestess.

— Lina today is Full Moon, it’s the perfect distraction! — I spoke and walked to her, I was very agitated.
