Beware- this might change as I go over things- but hey, something is better than nothing, right?
Small Teaser of the 2 book in the Aisha Blackwell's Chronicles:
Talk about the devil and all that.
He never made an attempt
to hide his purpose from me. He actually wanted me to know. He had come for me.
Well…he sure had one thing coming his
way.
I had to force myself
to stay put. I knew running would resolve nothing, if anything, it would only
postpone it. And yet…that was all I wanted to do, run until my body could do it
no more. Until oblivion caught up with me. Until its endless weight anchored me
again.
“You could have told
me.” I ignored his slight flinch. Shaking my head, “No. You should have told
me. Before…before things…” Progressed as
far as they did. I didn’t say the words. I couldn’t bring myself to finish
that sentence, let alone look at him, so I let it hang there incomplete.
I did not need to look
at him to know he was watching me, as if trying to burn the truth out of me.
“You think I didn’t try? Really?”
I had avoided looking
in his direction so far, but at this point I couldn’t stop my eyes seeking his.
I had to know. I needed to know if he was talking the truth. I knew he did
not…but by the look of things, he sure thought he did. “You didn’t try hard
enough, damn it!”
