Vampires of Maze (Part Six) (Beautiful Immortals Series Two Book 6) Read online

  Through the flames that now greedily ravaged my dress and scorched my legs, I looked for Calix as I couldn’t see him amongst the giant wolves that now circled the stake where I burnt. Then, through the thick tumbling smoke, I saw him. Unlike the others, Calix hadn’t changed shape. He was standing to one side, hidden from view in the shadow of a black twisted tree. He was holding a book in his hands and I could see that his lips were moving as if he was reading from it. Staring hard through the smoke and flames at him, I could see that Calix was holding my spell book. So it had been Calix who had stolen it. But why? And did the reason matter now? And as his lips went silently up and down as if whispering to himself, the writing that I’d tattooed across his chest began to radiate as if ablaze. As Calix’s lips moved faster and faster as if reading at great speed from the spell book, he glanced up and our eyes met. It was then I realised what he had meant when he’d said that he couldn’t set me free, but he could save me.

  With my arms still secured behind my back, I glanced down and could feel that my legs were hardening, becoming heavier. And it wasn’t because of the flames that charred and blistered my skin. My flesh was becoming brittle and turning to stone. I glanced once more at Calix as my chest, back, arms, legs and neck gradually began to harden. He was reciting the spell that I’d cast in the kitchen, when I had cocooned the fly beneath a stone shell. Just like I had with the insect, Calix was turning me into a statue. He was protecting me from the fire that was now raging all around me. Just before my lips turned to stone, I smiled at him and he shot me a knowing smile back.

  As the rest of my face began to stiffen and become something close to rock, I knew that if my daughter Mila should ever learn that she was a witch – ever come across my statue – she might one day be able to cast her own spell and set me free once more.

  Continue Mila Watson’s adventure as she searches for the truth about her mother, the Werewolves of Shade, the Vampires of Maze, and the Witches of Twisted Den.
