Virgin Sacrifice: Bred To The Beast - Plot & Excerpts
Anja felt a prickle along her shoulder blades, as though someone was watching her. She spun around to peer back into the trees, sharp blue eyes searching. Nothing moved except a few dead leaves that skittered along the ground. Anja clutched her basket and lengthened her stride, but she didn't feel comfortable even when she passed the first of the outlying farms that surrounded the village. Tall trees crowded the edge of a field where brown stalks lay crumpled in the black soil. A stone farmhouse sat back from the road, with shutters closed and doors shut tight. Nothing moved in the yard; even the livestock were already hidden away. This time of year made people nervous, and with a Sending so long overdue, no one wanted to be caught outside at night. Harvest was almost over, and the chill of early winter had left its morning frost on the dead grass two days running now. It had been almost twenty years since the last Sending, and for Anja and the other girls her age, the dread would last right up until the first snows fell. Right up until another girl was chosen, in fact.
