Chapter 65 Sacred Ground

• “Where are we?” I ask with a shaky voice. Justin has betrayed us. I’m confused, and my head hurts. I’ve left my friends behind, even though I didn’t have a choice, and I feel guilty and ashamed for doing so. What was that sword Justin had? If it could install fear into Michael, it must be something deadly. The thought sends another surge of panic through me.
• Cole tells me we’re in a hotel in Chapel St Leonard’s on the English coast, and that it closed recently for the end of the holiday season. “This village is built on sacred ground,” he says. “Demons and soulless creatures cannot step foot here. If they do, they will burn from the inside out.” I cringe at the thought and step further into the building, entering the first room. Multiple sofas fill the large area. The room has a large open fireplace. On one side a large bookshelf takes up all the space, and the other side is taken up by a large TV.
• I take a seat on one of the sofas. My body still feels drained, and my head feels like it has a marching band parading through it.
