(Overall story theme song...)
Thank you for stopping by. I'm excited to participate with such a fantastic group of writers! Check out other warriors here!
Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent!! Squee!!
Follow
Greta Shore (a 17-year-old, black-haired wiccan beauty) and Paxton
"Pax" Craig (an 18-year-old, blond-haired college student
with a dark secret) as they discover the fate of their forbidden love.
****
(Read last week's post) Set-up... Pax has told Greta that he's a unicorn. A unicorn!!! So, of course, Greta is all: sure, yeah, whatever... Prove it! But Pax is being stubborn, so Greta takes off for the Red Forest. He's not stopping her, and she wonders why. But more importantly she wonders why she feels like he should...

What was I to him? An assignment. He’d said so himself. So why did I hope for more? Goddess, what was wrong with me? I didn’t know him...He didn’t know me.
Light flooded the ground at my feet. “Greta, wait.”
Whoa. Pax is stopping her? Will he do what she's asked and prove he's a unicorn, or will she face the dangers of the Red Forest? Tune in next week for more Greta and Pax!! ;)
Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated!

ReplyDeleteI'm doing 8 Sentence Sunday today as well, but go a late start due to lack of electricity.
Thanks, Ella! :D I saw your 8 and they rocked! Sorry about the electricity...hope it doesn't go out again.
DeleteWonderful little scene between these two. The opening idea of her being an assignment- intrigued me. Well done.

Hi Summer! Thanks so much! :D

ReplyDeleteThank you, Sara! :) Right? Sheesh, indeed. Glad you're digging the cliffhanger!
DeleteWhoa! What is this light flooding the ground? Kinda scary stuff. Greta needs to watch out in that forest. No telling what's out there! Hope Pax comes in to save the day. :) Great 8!
