Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows!
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 party through the woods. Pax 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?" Yeah, that time with Bain. She couldn't think about it. Wouldn't...

Paxton nodded as if he knew he’d hit a nerve. But how could he?
Fear. That was it…“They feed on human emotions.”
“Yes. Although their favorite emotion, the one that gives them the most power, is the misery of witches, anyone’s fear is a close second. And the longer they feed off the same person, the more powerful they become.”
Tune in next week for more angsty spooky goodness!

Nice eight, Karen--now I finally know how they were able to feed on her! Congrats on being a finalist in the contest!
ReplyDeleteThis is starting to make sense, great job!
ReplyDeleteOh man! I hope they haven't been feeding on her too long! Poor girl! I love the part about the misery of witches! That was great!
ReplyDeleteYou've really thought this through! Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteInteresting new details. I'm with Gemma, this snippet really shows how well you've thought out your world building. Great 8!
ReplyDeleteMakes sense, and a lot of positive feedback potential.
ReplyDeletethat makes her a valuable feeding source. great 8
ReplyDeletePoor girl, cant wait to see where it leads, great eight.
ReplyDeleteEmotional vampires feeding on misery... that's not good. Sounds like they'd keep witches alive and unhappy for a good meal, not a good possible future. o.O
