Hekate: The Witch (Goddesses of the Underworld #1)

50. Finally a Light

Finally a Light

It was small at first.

The darkness of this place

nearly swallowed up the glow

from my small lamp,

but I could see in the distance

a crack of light.

It was long and thin,

and the closer I got,

the bigger it got.

My feet quickened their pace

and my heartbeat felt like a drum.

As I approached faster and faster,

I heard a voice from the distance.

It was familiar…

Hekate

It sounded like my mother.

I wanted to run to her,

but there was only so fast

my legs could carry me.

Hekate

And then I realized

where that beam of light

was coming from.

It was the opening

between a pair of

massive granite doors.
