A mad dash for freedom to avoid her mom...so close! RUNNING FROM SHADOWS #8Sunday #YAPNR

 

Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows!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.

 ****

(Read last week's post. Set-up) 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 emotions. And that it's definitely someone she knows. And she must under no circumstance confront it because it will kill her. And don't get emotional about anything! >.< Pax takes Greta home. Now, her mother tells her Reed Clarkwell--Greta's shrink--suggested the marriage contract. She's gotta stay calm per Pax, and all she can do it lay in bed and THINK about it. This is too much! Que Greta making a mad dash for freedom to avoid her mom...not fast enough.

“Hun, we need to talk.” Mom poured herself a glass of orange juice and I watched surreptitiously as she counted out her pills...Three today; not a good sign. Of course, the tranquilizers were nothing new but she’d been steadily increasing the dose since October.

“There’s nothing to talk about, Mom. Yesterday didn’t happen.” I rocked back and forth on the balls of my feet. Mom stared at me like I’d plucked her last nerve. Swishing her OJ around, she rolled the bottom of the glass in a circular pattern on the countertop.

Tune in next week for more angsty spooky goodness!

I looked down at my dress and smoothed the wrinkles...Useless. I should’ve gotten out of it last night. Now it would need some serious dry-cleaning love. Stumbling into the hallway, I grabbed two towels from the linen closet and went to the bathroom. After showering, I managed to somewhat conceal the evidence of almost-no-sleep. One work polo, khakis and a pair of All Stars later, I rushed downstairs to grab a bagel and banana to eat in the car. I wanted coffee bad, but there was no time to waste. I needed to get out before Mom got up;  no way would I start today off with an argument.

(Note: I'll be on vacay next Sunday, so no post for me. But! more unicorn/demon goodness on July 20th!)

 

The next thing I knew Pink’s “Raise Your Glass” blared in my ear. Obviously Haven had switched my radio station when she’d spent the night Friday, because pop music had to be at least twenty years old before I got into it. I hit snooze. A run this morning clearly wasn’t happening. I stretched before drawing myself up into a tight ball.

Closing my eyes, I pretended I could lie here all day. Unmoving...unfortunately, life kept getting in the way of my sleep. When One Direction rang out, I decided I’d better face reality and get ready.

Tune in next week for more angsty spooky goodness!
