When Silver Moons Rise Excerpt (The LostImmortals #2)By KaSonndra Leigh
FarisTheshackles tightened on my wrists and ankles, digging deep in my flesh. Darkmagic eased its way through to my skin. I sucked my breath and held it, waitingfor the fiery feeling to pass. Curse it. I could hardly move, let alone think. Asmall band of light eased in through the windows above me, giving the metalchamber a touch of softness."Iask you again, Faris Toulan. Is this girl worth your life? Your immortality? Orwhat's left of it anyway," Olivia hissed into my ear, a sneer on her face.I stayed silent, refusing to give in. She grasped my chin and forced me to lookat her face.Iglanced deep in her empty eyes, and said: "Yes. Chela is everything to me.She’s all that you could never be. Your tricks can't remove what I feel forher." Darkeyes glared at me. Her harsh laugh ripped through my soul. The kindness she showedme earlier disappeared at once. I didn't care. All I hoped for, all I ached forwas a chance to see Chela again. I promised to return as the protector she neededme to be. I refused to go back as the thing she was cursed to destroy. That would only hurt her more than I hadalready done. I intended to keep my word. "Ido hope you understand what you've agreed to do," Olivia said in a low,but deadly voice, her breath on my ear, her cold fingers stroking my face. "By the time I’m done with you, therewon't be any other name you'll call except mine. Because that's how long you'llbeg for mercy." Shemoved closer to my face and kissed my lips. I wanted to gag. Inside, I wasalready screaming. But her torture, or whatever she planned for me, was nothingcompared to facing a life without Chela. By thinking of her face, her laugh,even the way she sometimes annoyed me, I could handle anything Olivia did. Hellmost definitely existed. I was about to experience it in full force.Andthen I heard Chela call my name…ChelaInmy dream, I felt his suffering as if it were my own. Every burn, each tingle,the agonizing way he screamed from inside that awful dark chamber. Lying in mybed, I thought of the kiss we shared the last time I saw him. My eyes flew openas I grasped at the air around me, reaching for him, but finding emptinessinstead. And then the tears fell, and kept falling.Mymind was shutting down one cell at a time. Even breathing took effort. It wasas if my lungs were a balloon, and his breath was magical helium; somethingthat only the luckiest girl could find…and lose."Faris."I called his name out loud, hoping with all my faith that he heard me. Was itpossible for us to connect even with so much distance between us? I had to try. If he can hear me, then ourlink will pull him through whatever they were doing to him.Ican't just sit around and wait to hear news about his death. I had to dosomething."Chela.Can I come in?" My best friend, Alexa, stood in the doorway to my room. Ididn't even hear her open it. She walked over to the edge of the bed and satdown. Her kind eyes filled me with warmth after so many cold nightmares hadleft me shivering. "Baby,you've been in this room almost a week. Jalen and I miss you. Come back tous." She stroked my hair and laced her fingers with mine. Those smallgestures were just enough to make me sit up and bury my face in her shoulders. "Yougot snot on my school uniform. Well, at least that's a start." I pulledback, glancing at Alexa's face as she studied her shirt. Looking up at me, shewrinkled her nose. "Eew,gross," we both said at the same time. And then we both burst outlaughing, covering our mouths as we giggled. She was right. Smiling was a goodstart. And then I heard a boy's voice speak in my mind. "Chela, I heard you. By thelights, I heard you," Faris said.
