Weekend Writing Warriors: With the hot copper of my blood running down my throat... RUNNING FROM SHADOWS #8Sunday #YA



Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent!!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.
 ****
Set-up (last week)... Greta runs away from her surprise engagement partthrough the woodsPax saves her from a shadow demon. Oh, and he's a unicorn! 
Back at Pax's cabin, Greta and Pax talk. He tells her that the shadow has fed on her, but they don't feed on witches' blood. Erm, she's a witch, so what the hellz? He asks, "Ever get so angry or miserable it physically hurts?"

“What teenager doesn’t?”

“What about suddenly feeling like you’ve run a marathon when you’ve only walked into school?”

“It’s called exhaustion. Who hasn’t had a few rough mornings?” But I couldn’t help thinking this happened more than it should, considering I almost always slept eight hours a night.

“Or sudden nosebleeds?”

For a moment, I was there, back in the tree house...Scared. With the hot copper of my blood running down my throat and Bain—

Tune in next week for more angsty goodness!
