The woman in black took a slow step into the chapel, her heels clicking on the old wooden floor like a metronome counting down to something I wasn’t ready for.
Luca’s arm stretched across me protectively.
“Don’t come any closer,” he said, voice low.
But she only smiled, her eyes glinting like moonlight on shattered glass. “Relax, Luca. If I wanted to hurt her… I would have.”
My breath caught in my throat.
“Who are you?” I asked.
She tilted her head. “Let’s just say… I’m someone who’s been watching for a long time.”
She took another step, her black dress flowing behind her like smoke.
“The ring found you, Esther. That means it has already started.”
“What has?” I asked, my voice shaky.
Luca looked at her, then at me. “The curse. It wakes when the marked one and the chosen key meet.”
“You’re both too late,” the woman added. “The others already know she’s here.”
Luca’s fists clenched. “You said they wouldn’t sense her yet.”
“I said they might not. But you brought her to the chapel.” She smiled darkly. “The place where it all began.”
I took a step back. “What are you talking about? What others?”
The woman suddenly looked tired — or maybe sad. “The fallen ones. The ones bound by blood and betrayal. If they find you before the truth is unlocked…”
She didn’t finish the sentence. She didn’t have to.
Luca turned to me, his voice suddenly urgent. “We need to leave. Now.”
But I didn’t move. My head was spinning. I wasn’t a key. I wasn’t chosen. I was just a girl who had a weird dream and found a ring.
Right?
The woman’s voice cut through my thoughts.
“You’ve seen glimpses. The dreams. The symbols. The fire.”
I froze.
How did she know?
She took a step closer and gently placed something into my hand.
It was an old photograph — black and white, edges burnt.
A woman who looked exactly like me… standing in front of the chapel.
But it wasn’t me.
“What… is this?” I asked, staring at the photo.
The woman whispered, “A memory from a life you don’t remember. But soon… you will.”
Then she turned and walked out into the darkness, disappearing like smoke in the wind.
Luca didn’t speak. He just took my hand, and we ran.
Out of the chapel.
Out into the cold night.
And straight into the unknown.
Whatever this was… it had just begun.
