“You can capture this body of mine,
take away my freedom and enslave me.
You may even have the power to capture my soul
and sentence me to the realm of eternal darkness.
But my dreams you cannot touch.
They are my will—the very essence of who I am.
In them I laugh. In them I cry. In them I love.
And in them… I live.
My dreams are untouchable and unceasing.”

“No matter how many times people bear the same testimony, no matter how marvelous the miracles they recite, no one’s spiritual experience will ever be as convincing as your own. Prayer combined with obedience to God’s commandments prepare us for His blessings. Those blessings, when recognized and appreciated, plant a seed of faith. Faith then precedes the receiving of miracles, which are spiritual experiences that grow a personal testimony.
So if you want spiritual experiences, start by offering daily prayer and strict obedience to God. Blessings, faith, and miracles will develop from those roots and eventually blossom into a powerful personal testimony.”

“Star
up high,
oh, so bright,
can you see me
in the deep, dark night?
Tell me what you wish for,
star, I want to know the truth.
Your lone and far off state I feel;
we are as twins in this way since youth.
My heart can sense how you long for a friend.
Or is it my sole wish that with yours doth blend?”

“Gavin appeared and vanished numerous times each day checking up on me. Now and then he’d randomly pop the question, often disguising it within our conversations.
“Did you know that bubbleberries are in season right now? They’re blooming all over Dreamland.”
“I love those berries. They’re fun and strange.” I recalled the time that Gavin and I had burped up iridescent-purple bubbles after swallowing handfuls of berries. They were deliciously sweet.
Gavin nudged me with his elbow. “Not half as strange as you are.”
I laughed.
“So, Annabelle, will you come with me?” I nearly spoke without thinking, but caught myself, careful not to slip and say the word, yes.
“Sorry, Gavin. I can’t.”

“If there were no trials in life, no disappointments, no fears, no suffering, nothing overwhelming enough to bring you to your knees beseeching God for help, would you seek Him out on your own? What would be your motivation if not desperation for something you want but cannot do for yourself?
The trials that permeate mortality serve a real purpose. Because of them, great personal change comes about, and beautiful blessings await. Forgiveness, peace, miracles, personal revelations, a real relationship with God—these things can be yours when you pray. Talk to God.”

“Thank you,” I managed to say.
Replying with a nod, he approached my horse. “Here, let me help you—”
I slipped down myself before he could lend a hand, keeping the fur hide in my possession. “I’m not suddenly incapable because I wear a dress, Thaddeus.”
“I wasn’t suggesting…” Wisely, he let the issue drop.
Lifting an arm, he offered it to me. That’s when I noticed my sword in sheath belted to his waist.
“That’s mine!” I declared, reaching for the hilt.
Thaddeus managed a quick side-step. He hardened his jaw at my look of incredulity. I would only wait momentarily for an explanation.
“I know the sword is yours, Catherine, everyone knows that. But you’re too beautiful tonight to ruin that radiant look with an ugly, leather belt strapped about you.”
I was starting to think the man was using compliments as a weapon to defend himself against me. It did work to temper my anger somewhat.
“I brought the sword as a cautionary act in case those nasty werewolves show up. Seeing how I’ll be standing beside you all evening, the blade will be at your disposal if needed.”
I accepted his reasoning and stood down.
“Besides,” Thaddeus added, apparently feeling safe, “what’s yours is mine now anyway.”
I glared at the fool. “That works both ways, you know.”
He rolled his eyes and shrugged. “If it must.”
Again, he offered me his arm which I grudgingly accepted.”

“Turn around… you’ve got grass and dead flowers…”
My fingers naturally began to comb through my long, black strands, shaking things loose as Sarti carefully removed more stubborn pieces. The flowers were left over from my forced marriage to Thaddeus. The grass, from a sensual night with Kresh on an eve of my honeymoon. Devilish irony.”

“When I heard a sharp scream, both shrill and short, my head automatically turned in the direction of the sound. I found Kresh standing at the wooden podium. He had opened one of the books piled upon it. For some odd reason, he was madly tearing out fistfuls of pages. It took a moment to comprehend that the book was screaming in response to his violent actions, as if an inanimate object were actually suffering pain. Kresh ripped the spine off, destroying the book and silencing the cries of anguish. He then threw the mangled carcass on the floor.”

“Their leader looked over at me, his flawless lips in an even line, his nose chiseled to a point like an arrow aimed my way. Raven waves fell away from big eyes exhibiting more alertness in their stare than any animal or human naturally possessed. Despite how defenseless I knew myself to be, I refused to show him fear.
Jovani turned back to the four members from his clan. “I won’t need backup, Percival, I have a priceless bargaining chip.”
From the way the others eyed my form, I understood it was me he considered his negotiating leverage. I felt somewhat confident that meant I was more valuable alive.
“This stinks,” one of the lady vampires complained.
“No, Concetta, that’s just the dog.”
A perky nose sniffed in my direction as they shared a trill of amusement at my expense. All but Jovani.”

“My muscles tensed at an unexpected shiver, an unsuitably cold reaction to the warm late-afternoon. Nonetheless, I felt chilled to the core, as if my heart were receiving a transfusion of ice water for blood. My mind had come to a dead-end contemplating past, present, and future decisions. It seemed that every choice I made hoping to protect my family was tied to a consequence that inevitably injured them. Harm was the result of everything I did—everything I had done—regardless of selfless or heroic intentions. The truth hit hard, suddenly horribly clear, as if stepping up to a full-length mirror. The Tarishe curse had taken on my own likeness. I had become the curse, a scourge to my family. This had always been the witch’s plan.”
