    Blood Waters Part 4: Master of the Wild

    WILL SHE STAY OR WILL SHE GO?

    Mila and the others navigate their way through the dense Yucatan jungle, enduring hunger and thirst. With help from fate - or perhaps some godly being - they are able to survive to get back to civilization.

    While they are enduring the hurricane that hits the jungle, the same hurricane also wreak havoc on her home and nearby towns and cities. This makes her family evacuate for safety, leaving the house vacant when Mila reaches home. And she realizes that she is free to return to Boston, but only at a price: her family, and Tomas.

    Is it one that she is willing to pay? And will she let Tomas go?

    Requiem for a Dream Part 4: Lacrimosa

    THE DREAM IS FINALLY ENDING BUT THE HOUSE HAS OTHER PLANS

    Determined to rid himself of the nightmares of his great grandfather’s manor once and for all, Judas recruits Dolores to help him with one final thing: burning down the mansion.

    Together the two of them collect the items necessary to execute their exceedingly dangerous plan and put it into action. The house, however, has other plans and it needs Judas and it’s not about to let him go without one last battle.

    Weak, disoriented, desperate and at the very end of his rope, Judas must fight the forces of the house as the true natures of every creature in it are at last revealed in all their wickedness. They are attacking everything he holds dear, worming into the cracks of his consciousness with lies and deceits and illusions all in hopes of winning the last thing he has of value: his own soul!

    With the help of Dolores, who believes in him above all else, Judas must find the strength to resist the taunts and temptations that the house chooses to throw at him. His very soul will be tested.

    Above everything else, will the final question come into play? Is he sane? Was this all really just a mere nightmare? Or were the demonic forces really at work under the guise of his ‘family.’

    The board is set, the pieces are ready and the kings are now facing each other at last. The checkmate approaches! Who wins the crown?

      Master of the Wild

      Blood Waters Part 3

      Chapter One

      Mila! Wait!

      She heard them, but her heart was racing too wildly-her legs, it seemed, were running of their own accord. Anything to keep from remembering what it was she'd just seen-Tomas, summoning a bolt of lightning from the sky, incinerating a man before her eyes. How could that be real? How could that be possible? What happened to Tomas? She stumbled through the jungle, panicked at the thought of losing Tomas and everything he was to her, unable to comprehend what she'd just seen. A man had died. Tomas had killed him. Those two facts alone were incompatible to her. Run. That was all she could do.

      And yet-somehow, somewhere, from the depths of her heart, there came a measure of calm. He's dead. He died, just like they said he would. Tomas is dead. She slowed down, taking deep gulping breaths. She should feel sad, or angry about it. Yet she couldn't bring herself to feel anything. The replacement of the boy she'd known and loved with some vengeful demigod who probably didn't even know who she was not as traumatic a loss as she'd thought it would be. A moment passed before she understood what it meant: that she'd always known that she would lose him. Somehow, some way, she would lose him-that she'd always known that he was not of this world, even before the incident with the snakes.

      Tim and Meredith came crashing through the foliage after her, gasping for breath as they caught up to her. We really should stick together, Tim panted. It's a jungle out here.

      Right, Mila agreed, but even as she spoke, the jungle seemed to-shift around them, and she realized that she hadn't been crashing through the jungle at all, that a path had opened up for them where there had been none.

      Which way do we go? Meredith asked, her voice shaking. The three of them glanced around. There was no track-they'd lost it when they were drawn into the clearing. Mila's mad plunge back into the jungle meant that there was no way for them to figure out where they had been, unless they wanted to go back and see the horrific sight of the incinerated body. Facing down Tomas, or whatever it was that Tomas had become, was not something any of them considered.

      I guess we follow the path, Mila said.

      Tim shook his head. We don't know where it goes.

      Do we have a choice? Mila asked. She was looking at Meredith, who had been quiet for most of their ordeal. Meredith had been worrying Mila in a minor way ever since they were ambushed at the Sacred Cenote-Mila couldn't put into words why she was so worried about Meredith. Meredith had always been quieter than Tim, and moved a bit more slowly than Mila or Tim. But now, her eyes were rimmed with pure exhaustion, and though she was still keeping up with Mila and Tim, Mila had the distinct impression that all it would take was one little push and she'd fall down and never get back up again.

      All I'm saying is, it goes against everything I know about survival. Which, before you ask, is a bit more than you do.

      It was hard to feel threatened by the forest now, though-the sun streamed bright and cheery through the trees, the sky was blue, and a refreshing breeze stirred the air around them. Mila was sorely tempted to make a camp where they were and rest. Can we just stay here, though? she said. Meredith is looking peaked.

      I'm okay, Meredith said, but when Tim looked at her, he shook his head. Sit down, Mer, he said. Sit down and don't get back up. I'll go find us something to eat.

      No need, Mila said. She pointed at a plant just ahead of them. Wild bananas, she said.

      Seriously? Tim asked, but he was already halfway to the plant. Mila hurried after him. He'd already discovered the row of hand-sized pods, and was working one of the pods open. Oh. Gross, he said, when he finally managed to rip one open. The fruit was hard, more like an apple than a banana, and the seeds inside were more like bird shot.

      It's food, Mila said, exasperated. She snatched the bunch from him. And anyway, they're wild bananas, not the kinds you find in the supermarket.

      I know, he said, sniffing the flesh. He took a bite as they walked back to Meredith. It's not terrible. I've had worse. I wish we could've found mango, though.

      The bananas were bready, not sweet, and the fruit was scanty and filled with seeds. Still, Meredith perked up when they were finished, and Mila felt better, and even Tim's dark humor lifted a little. Hope-a little spark of it-was reignited.

      We should follow the path, Mila said. It's going in the same direction as the tracks.

      You don't know that, Tim said. The nature of the jungle and finding directions is deceptive.

      But we can't stay here for three weeks, Meredith said. It'll be another two weeks before anybody even thinks about looking for us, and God knows how long it'll take them to find us.

      Only the hooting and chirping of the jungle around them could be heard as Tim and Mila contemplated this. Fuck, Tim muttered.

      Let's get some more bananas, Mila said. And let's hope we won't need them.

      They followed the path. They didn't really have a choice. The foliage around the path was
