Blood Moon (Skye Morrison Vampire Series, #5.5)
Page 21
I huffed out a breath and paused to lean against the stone exterior of a dilapidated building before wincing as I got back to walking. The sweat dripped down my temples, and I could feel my blood draining lower than it ever had before. I reached out with my magical powers to my sisters, hoping Shade’s faery powers would detect me this far away. Maybe even Anna would sense my distress. We were forever connected by blood, which we’d discovered quite by accident. I rarely used this emergency call since I liked the solitary life, but I was desperate.
“Shade,” I muttered. I found a doorway in a dirt-streaked alley full of garbage. It had two steps leading up to it, and I slid down onto them, leaning against the cold metallic door as the world began to spin. “Come on, Sis… need some help here….”
A flash blinded me, forcing my eyelids shut. No matter how hard I strained to reopen my eyes, they stuck with the weight of a thousand anchors holding them down. As the world sank away, a streak of vivid, red-tinted light flashed on the other side of my eyelids, followed by a shadow.
“Hold on, Benton. We got you.”
