Erm, demon feeding frenzy? Crap! RUNNING FROM SHADOWS #WeWriWa #8Sunday #YAPNR #unicorns



Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows!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 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 emotions. And that it's definitely someone she knows. And she must under no circumstance confront it because it will kill her. Oh, and don't get emotional about anything! >.<

I tossed my hands up. “You’ve got to be kidding me. I’m in high school, dealing with an ass-load of problems. The biggest at the moment being I’m engaged, against my will, to my stalker!”

Paxton furrowed his brow and something about his eyes seemed to glow. “Case in point. That would send the demon into a feeding frenzy.”



Tune in next week for more angsty spooky goodness!

  3. I love his "case in point" line, so casual haha. It made me laugh, because i picture her ranting and him just watching her lol.

  4. I don't have any personal experience, but it seems to me that a demon feeding frenzy is something that should be avoided. Great snippet. I always enjoy how organic your dialogue sounds.
