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

128. Two Hands Grasped Me

Two Hands Grasped Me

And I screeched as I felt my body

lifted away from the edge

until I was so high above the drawbridge

it looked like a toy beneath my feet.

The creature down below raised its arms

as though trying to catch me,

but it was too late, I was too far up

for it to reach me.

I turned to see the mischievous face of a boy

wearing a wide-brimmed traveller’s hat.

But the strange thing about this hat

was that it had wings.
