The Sisters of Salem - Chapter One Excerpt

The Sisters of Salem

SCARBOROUGH, MAINE
1703

A wicked wind cut through the trees, frigid and mean, like an invisible giant pushing his way through the forest. “You are my chosen three, Sisters of Salem forever you’ll be. Follow your heart, your path is true, trust in yourselves, for I believe in you.” The Goddess’s words floated through the air on its back, piercing deep, and straight into the sisters’ hearts.

Caris, Kennedy, Jason, and Trin all stood outside the cave from which Ann Putnam and her seven sisters had just escaped.
“We have to go. We have to follow them, now!” Trin’s voice edged toward panic as she fell to the ground, clawing at the charred remnants of the portal through which Ann had fallen.

Jason’s hazel eyes softened and met Caris and Kennedy’s grief-struck stares. “Karina…honey.” He used her original name and his normal term of endearment as he reached forward, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. “I know we need to go, but I think we should return to our current time to restock our supplies and make an actual plan.”

The warmth of her soul-mate’s hand penetrated her skin but did nothing to alleviate the coldness seeping into her bones. Trin shrugged off his touch. She needed to embrace the cold––harden her heart against what was to come. “What plan is there to make? Ann’s father now has powers and has taken our mother captive. If we do not return to our original time and save her,” she waved a hand without looking up, “all of this will no longer exist. We will no longer exist.” Her breath hitched on a sob.

With blackened, soot-covered fingers, she doubled her efforts to clear the area. Dark magic radiated from the remnants of the portal, confirming her suspicions. The Putnams were tapping into something tainted and false––definitely not magic from the Goddess, which made the urgency of their next move even more pertinent.
