Dealings in the Dark

All she wanted was to save her friend, so she made a deal with the darkness, but her good intentions came with a steep cost, and it's so much more than she bargained for.

Magick always comes with a price. This is the lesson that Alex Hendricks, a young practitioner, learns when she is forced to confront a terrifying entity set on claiming her soul for his own. Secrets from her past are revealed, and she must decide whether to meet the entity's demands or sacrifice herself, allowing him to end her life and condemn her to eternal torment. This short tale follows Alex on her journey over the course of two days time as she battles supernatural forces and comes into her own power. But, will it be enough to save her life and retain command of her own soul?
