Excerpt from Blood Moon
October 1, 1950
My dreams were haunted with the reality of what is waiting on the
horizon for us. We knew they would seek revenge sooner or later. Of
course, we were hoping for the latter. The vampires have begun infesting
the surrounding areas. My best friend, Finn brought word this morning
that London has seen at least three dozen victims. The humans are
oblivious as to the cause of the violence. The newspapers talk about the
possibility of a wild animal on the loose. As I said before,
oblivious.
Colleen and I each killed three of the abominations before returning
last night. I enjoyed the time hunting with my sister. She has grown so
much as a witch since her initiation. Her tracking skills are top notch.
She reminds me of Ma. I watched as she baited the Barna Woods just east
of Rusheen Bay with her blood. She and I took positions in neighboring
trees. The foul beasts appeared almost immediately. We made easy work of
them.
Since Da’s death last year, we’ve had to take turns staying with Ma. He
was one of the last confirmed cases of the bubonic plague in Ireland.
His death hit all of us hard, but none more so than her. She’s turned
her emotions off. We need her in her right mind with the threat of an
impending war. Colleen took her to visit Aunt Fionna in an attempt to
either get her to open up, or sadly cast a spell to silence the pain.
Just before Da’s death, Seamus formally asked him if he could begin
courting me. I don’t how I would have gotten through this without him.
He’s extremely good with Isadora. She’s so young, and doesn’t understand
what’s happening. Seamus helps me keep her occupied. I fear for them
both. Isadora has little power and he is human.
No matter how many I kill, it will never be enough. Not until the day I
can finally say that every last one of the monstrosities my family
created four centuries ago are no longer a threat to any man, woman,
child, or witch.
Blessed Be ~ Leeny
