I know it’s been a long wait for the next part of Rend and Franki’s story, but I can’t even tell you how much fun it was for me to be back at Venom and back in their story again. I LOVED it so much.

Part 1 releases Monday and will contain Episodes 1-3 of the season.

Part 2 releases May 7th and will have Episodes 4-6 of the season.

Today, I’m posting the Prologue for you. I read this over in my Facebook group–Sarra Cannon’s Coven–but I know some of you missed the video! I’m posting it here now for you to read.

PROLOGUE

Franki

Growing up, we learn there’s only one thing that’s completely unavoidable in this life.

Death.

No matter who you are or what you do, death is always waiting for you at the end of the road.

At least, that’s what I always believed. Back before I knew I was different. Back before I walked down that alley and stepped through Venom’s doors.

I used to believe a person was lucky just to get seventy or eighty years to figure shit out and try to make the most of it. Now I know there are some who get more than just a handful of decades.

They get centuries.

What would you do with hundreds of years on this earth? What would a decision or a single moment mean in a lifetime like that?

They say time heals all wounds, but what if that’s not true?

What if time is the one thing that makes it impossible to move on and forget the mistakes we’ve made? The pain we’ve caused?

Or is it all relative? Does a year with someone you love mean it will only take a year to forget them?

Nothing more. Nothing less.

I’ve been asking myself these questions a lot lately. Time is something that’s on my mind more than ever, because I’m running out of it faster than I ever dreamed.

I lie awake at night watching him toss and turn, and I know that once I’m gone, he’ll have centuries to mourn me. He’ll have lifetimes to curse me for my decisions.

And for his own.

I imagine the pain will be unbearable at first, but over the months and years, it will fade until it’s nothing more than an occasional sting at the edge of his consciousness.

How long before he forgets me entirely?

He says there isn’t time enough in the world for that to ever happen, but I can’t imagine a hundred years from now he’ll still be whispering my name from the rooftops of Paris or standing on these Alpine cliffs shedding tears over losing a girl like me.

No, my name will be a dusty word locked away in the attic of his memory.

He may pull it out from time to time and think about the months we spent together, but I don’t fool myself enough to believe that less than a year in his arms equates to an eternity of mourning my death when I’m gone.

It isn’t fair, but unlike death, fairness has never been promised to any of us.

I can feel the darkness closing in, and I know that death is watching me.

It won’t be long now, and no matter how much I want to spend my final days curled up in my love’s arms, I refuse to let it end this way.

When the time comes, he won’t be able to do what has to be done, and then we’ll both be lost. I won’t do that to him.

I won’t leave him with that choice.

I lift my eyes and stare out at the early morning fog that curls around the mountains like a soft blanket. I will miss this place and its magical beauty. Its solitude and safety.

I will miss the clean smell of freshly fallen snow and the warm crackle of the fire after we’ve come in from a long day of hiking to rest our feet on the hearth.

I will miss the sweeping staircase and the way he looks at me as I walk down the steps to meet him.

I will miss the basement laboratory with its rows of glass bottles and potions and powders. The way he sometimes holds his breath as he mixes the ingredients together, waiting to see if he was right.

But most of all, I will miss the man I have come to love more than life itself.

I walk over to the bed and let my fingertips rest gently on his shoulder as he sleeps. I want to kiss him one last time, but I’m afraid I’ll wake him.

He would kill me himself if he knew what I was planning to do.

He won’t understand it, and for a while, he’ll hate me for it.

But over time, I hope he’ll come to see that this was the only way.

When I’m ready, I tiptoe from the room and make my way down to the lab. I find the dagger in its place inside the apothecary cabinet and take it to the work bench, along with three large, glass vials. I will leave him a gift as a parting thank you.

One final I love you.

I will give him the only thing I have left that is fully mine to give, and I will pray that he understands the reason for my sacrifice.

Eventually, death comes for us all.

But I’ll be damned if I’ll let it take me without a fight.
