Unknown [Book 2 of sacrifice Series]

Harrison’s POV

My dreams are really getting fuzzy nowadays. I had the same dreams over and over. But each time it changed into someone else’s death. I have seen Mom, Iva, Aaron’s death by now. I don’t know what to believe in anymore. Last time when Aaron woke up from the unconscious state he didn’t remember how he got here.

He said all of this is a mystery to him. I don’t know how a person can transfer from NY to Tennessee without knowing anything. Well...I couldn’t agree anymore. Mom did a ritual to banish any negative energy lurking around in our house but failed. I was considering calling Dalton for help but Mom just refused. Aaron hasn’t gone yet. I wanted him gone as soon as I got to know that Aaron was possessed. But Mom said if he wanted to harm us then he would've done it already, so why drive him away?

But I was more pissed at myself. Why did I let Aaron in this case? I always do a mistake and other people pay for that. I have done some horrible mistakes in past. I have let my power use for bad things, things that I now regret. I have completely ruined Iva’s life.

“Son, Are you there?” Mom asked me from the kitchen.

“Yes, Mom. What happened?” I asked getting out of my room.

“You should see your sister more often. You know you have yet to apologize.” She said and sighed.

“I know mom, but you know I can’t...” I said hoping she’ll leave me alone or stop having this conversation. My throat constricted thinking about seeing her again. I'm pretty sure she hates me.

“I know you have saved her but you have yet to apologize. She deserves to know why you did it. Please! For her sake!” Mom was crying and I vowed to never see her in that state. So I just required her that I was going to apologize.

When I came into the room, the room was almost dark. Just a candlelight can be seen on her desk. She was drawing. When we were a child she used to draw bright things but now everything seems to have changed.

“What are you drawing?” I asked her but there was no answer.

When I went near her she was drawing with her eyes closed. She was drawing dark shadows violently. That means she was possessed. It has happened to her in the past too and all she drew ended up being correct. But I didn’t need knowing any dangerous future that holds for us.

“Egli è in arrivo! Dark è venuta! Nessuno ci può salvare! Il futuro, come acqua e olio in esso troverete la masterizzazione! Ti brucia tutti!”

Suddenly she jumped from her seat making me fall to the ground. She was screaming so loud that the windows rattled and the door started to shake. I’ve seen this kind of horror the first time. Usually, she’ll draw and faint but this time It was like she wasn’t my sister, she was someone who will do anything to stop the future she saw.

“Sarà Seaker seak, Reaper raccoglierà! Tutti verrà mix e il sacrificio terrà!”

My hearing became a faded buzzing as I realized that blood was coming down from my ears. The whole house was going dark to darker. From somewhere mom screamed too but I didn’t know who to help, Iva or mom. I knew right then what I had to do. I had to use my power. This time I was screaming spells to banish the evil with all I had. After what felt like hours with a final cry, Iva fainted.

Amy’s POV

After the last reaping, I was strong like before. It was as if something was slowing my powers before. They were making my hunger gone. But now that I've tasted the energy again, I craved souls just like before. So to find my mother, I’ve come to the same town Keira was. I was hoping if I could find her, then maybe...maybe I’ll find the answers I was looking for.

“Um miss, can I help you?” Someone asked me from behind the register. He was short and had a small cut in his cheekbone.

“Oh yes, you can. I believe a year ago someone named Keira was staying here?” I asked sweetly to the guy in front of me. I was currently in a small herb store named 'The Rune' where all kinds of herb natural witches usually needs were displaying. I was impressed at their collection. Only if I was a witch...

After flipping some pages from the register he shook his head. “Sorry miss, I don’t think so.”

I was confused. If I was right then this was the place she ran off to. That's what Gemma told me. Then why doesn’t this boy know a thing about her? Was he lying?

“Do you still need some help?” He said impatiently clearly annoyed at me.

“Yes. Why don’t you give me that herb?” I asked showing the black herb.

“OK.”

Once he was gone I looked through the register but there was no one named Keira. I almost gave up but then I noticed the register was only months ago.

“Here, miss. Your herb. It will only cost-” He started but I cut him off.

“You can keep up what it’ll cost but I need old registers... like right now,” I said sternly making his eyes big.

“But this store’s owner said not to look through old things! Sorry I can’t help you.” He was shaking with a fear. It wasn't clear if he was just brutally loyal to his leader or was afraid of the woman, but I needed to find Keira right now.

“But surely you can call the lady? I want to talk to her personally.” I was getting irritated and it wasn’t a good sign.

“She had left town months ago giving me this store. I don’t think you’ll find her now.” He finally replied dismissing me.

“Where is she? Where is Hannah?" I demanded looking at him dead.

“In Norcia, Italy. I don’t think you’ll find her whereabouts. They change places every now and then so give up finding her.”

“But what about your father?” I asked bluntly but it got his attention.

“What...what about him?”

He was shuttering. That was the fun of reaping souls. You can control him, get inside of his head without knowing him. I’d known his father was dying. There was no herb or doctor that can help him. But if I the great Amy helped him, he can heal his father.

Now you’ll think I only destroy. But I also do save lives by taking another people’s soul. That way another person can take the life of the living. I was offering him his father’s life and asking for someone else’s soul to take. That way I can find my sister and he can keep his father. Well...the result was marvelous. He did the deal and I was handed the information. And I was right. She was there and I was going to meet her soon.

Stranger’s POV

Stupid people they were. They didn’t understand what was offered to them. The Seeker was born but he wasn’t still ready to take his fate. The Reaper has already started reaping and yet the Seeker wouldn’t stop her. They were supposed to rip each other apart. But they were getting along! If the Reaper wouldn’t die then how will I return? And I’m not the one to be waited on. The other Reaper was already destroyed, I just need this Reaper destroyed. And then...

I’m coming to earth to take it back.
