      Hunting a Soul - Viola Grace

      Chasing a dark soul has been her focus for years, and now, she is being offered the training to do it.

      Leadra’s family was murdered in front of her and her brother did it, or did he? A dark soul possessed her brother, and it mocked her, after her brother took his own life, from the mouth of the next person it possessed. On Resicor, seeing souls was a punishable offense, and she was locked in the dome for three years until the uprising.

      Now free, Leadra has been offered training to hunt the soul that killed her family. Just one problem, she doesn’t know how to fly a shuttle.

      N’ran offered to act as her pilot. His skills include his own sense of humour and the ability to fly anything. He knew who she was before she arrived and was interested in seeing her progress. A woman of power starting from nothing was quite the sight to see.

      Krix is the youngest member of Fixit’s family, and he is destined to be the companion of a woman who can pull souls from bodies. She needs his help and he needs adventure. A Yaluthu with an urge to see the universe needs a little help.

      Hunting a Soul

      Tales of the Citadel 37

      By

      Viola Grace

      Chapter One

      Leadra watched her brother fall to his death. Nine people were dead at his hand, and he had killed himself. There was only one horrifying fact—he hadn’t been the only soul in his body.

      She watched the two souls separate and go their separate ways.

      The shadowy darkness that had started the horror cruised upward and entered one of the security officers standing nearby.

      Leadra ran at him and screamed, You killed him!

      She could see the original soul clawing to be free, but the shadow wrapped him tightly. He struck her and whispered in her ear. It is too bad about Frelmer. He was a fun host. I suppose I will just have to make do.

      She fought him until she was beaten unconscious, and when she woke, she was in the assessment centre with electrodes on her head.

      A voice came out of a speaker on the wall. Miss Brikar, you have been accused of being a telekinetic, a pusher and a psycho. How do you plead?

      She was confused but she shook her head. Not guilty?

      Are you asking me?

      I don’t know where you are? Where is the officer I was fighting? He can explain things.

      He already made his statement, and then, he committed suicide, citing your confrontation with him as the final straw. He said he felt your influence and that you had urged him to die. That is punishable by death.

      She snorted. Right.

      However, in light of the devastating catastrophe of your family’s demise at your brother’s hands, we are willing to give you an altered sentence. You will be sent to the dome where you will live out your life with other uncontrollable talents.

      She tried to deny her ability to see souls, but one walked through her cell. Her mother came forward and took her hand in both of her own. Do it. Go to the dome; you will be able to learn what you need to learn if you just go to the dome.

      Her mother disappeared a second later, before Leadra could reply.

      We have just observed talented activity, so we will alter your plea to guilty of being a talent and your entry to the dome will be carried out immediately.

      Leadra had nothing more to say.

      Three years went by before Leadra faced the woman in glowing white. She stepped forward to volunteer to fight and was swept into the air with the other twenty-four members of the dome-banishment club.

      She had learned a little about hand-to-hand combat in the dome and gotten her body into fighting shape. When
