Chapter 156

• Colton quiets some of my anxiety by responding, and I will him to get here. We long ago figured the vamps use the mountain to stay close enough to mount attacks, maybe have tunneled inwards, and use it as a vantage point to look over the surrounding lands. We know they have witches, and I don’t like whatever this is, even if it might be nothing more than a harmless strange colored fog. Whatever it is, it’s not natural, and how it came down from the mountain raises all kinds of alarms.
• Colton, it’s spreading. It’s taking over the forest and circling us.
• My mind link doesn’t hide the panic in my voice, and it wobbles uncontrollably, my heart racing as all I can do is watch this monster smog eat our landscape so effortlessly.
