Excerpt:
Stars
exploded behind my eyes when I hit the ground. Fear and pain slashed
through my body like a hot knife. A scream tore my throat in two. I
bit down hard on the inside of my cheek until I tasted blood pool
into my mouth.
She
crossed the room and sat on the bed. She wiped the blood off her
fingers on the dusty sheets.
“You
know,” she said in a chilling voice. It was totally different from
how she usually sounded. “I spent so many summers here.” I tried
to concentrate on breathing, my mind was moving in a million
different directions. She fell back on the bed and the dust from the
aged linen swirled around the both of us, stinging my eyes. She
peeled back the rest of the wallpaper with a smile in her voice when
she said, “This was my room, you know. But I guess you figured that
out.”
She
sat up quickly and cocked her head, looking down at me pitifully. Who
was she? Those eyes—I knew those eyes. They felt like home, but now
they were cold, almost like they belonged to someone else. She poked
her bottom lip out. “You know I can’t let you walk out of here,
Raevyn.”
