Excerpt:
I knelt down again next to Ally and reached out to touch her skin.
Even though the sensation was unpleasant, I could feel her pulse as it rapidly
declined.
“No,” I moaned. I looked
up again to see if any of the Guard could help, but no one was around.
I looked back down at
Ally. Her face was paling by the second. My soul started to tingle. I leaned
closer to her body, reaching my hand out to touch her face again, when her arm
moved toward mine.
I jumped back.
Heather pushed through
the crowd. “Did she just move? Did I see her move?” Streaks of black mascara
ran down her cheeks.
A ringing sensation
tickled my ear and I tuned in to the True Soul’s presence. I looked at each
human. The True Soul was close, but who had it? They all seemed equally shocked
at the tragedy.
An uncomfortable
pressure in my chest drew me closer to her body. My soul slanted toward hers
until I was practically on top of her. I helplessly watched my hand morph and
stretch toward her body.
“What the—?” I tried to
pull back but the strength of whatever was happening had other ideas. My hand
disappeared first, then my arm, then my torso.
But before I could call
for help, my world went dark.
