This is just a sneak peek I guess. I'll update later after I have a few more chapters done. Please leave your opinion.
Constantine Madden had been prepared to do this. Just in case he died. Lying down in a half-collapsed cave, bleeding to death qualified. Still, he felt nervous. There were uncountable things that could go wrong, besides the fact that the whole was completely inhumane. He still didn't finish his job though, so he was forced to do this.
He felt through all the different bodies in the cave. Most of them were dead. After a a minute of searching, he was starting to get worried, becoming more frantic by the second. Finally, he found a body. It was the right one, he decided right away. Not just because it was one of the few alive, it was because of instinct, like he was meant to do this. It was a little baby. Luck was on his side, because no one would notice if he started acting differently. There was also a chance that everyone who knew the baby died, so he would't have to worry anyway.
Soul switching was never done before. No one would know what would happen. In this case, Constantine wasn't going to switch the souls, just do the job half way. Surprisingly, Constantine felt guilty, even though the baby wouldn't survive long in his body anyway. He steeled himself for pain, and reached out to the boy's body. Immediately, he felt something pushing back. Of course, thought Constantine, the soul would fight back. He tried again, this time with more force. He felt sweat beading on his forehead, using the last of the water in his body. It was harder for him to stay in control now that his counterweight Jericho… no, he would not think about that. He was distracted from his thoughts as he felt the soul beginning to come out. Now, he prepared himself for his new body. He slowly used his magic to make the transfer. That was a dire mistake. Exploding pain swept through his body. Through the pain, his whole life flashed by. Perhaps the last time he'll ever see it…
