Karlee, an assistant librarian, wants nothing more than her well earned vacation, but with shadows attacking her will it ever happen? Court, a watcher from the dream realm, just wants to drop Karlee off with the maji and be done, but a little thing like fate keeps getting in the way.The Snippet:
“Be gone, shadow spawn!” a deep voice boomed behind her, and
Karlee felt whatever had her jerk franticly away. Scrambling up the steps, Karlee
saw the shinning man who had saved her and ran straight into his arms. A strong
arm wrapped around her and tucked her behind the large man.
From behind him she could see the source of the brilliant
light. It radiated from a small stone pendant he wore on a chain around his
neck. Beyond him Karlee could also see the illuminated darkness left in the
library basement. The light allowed her to see the collection of books and the
wreathing shadows that had chased her. Misshapen human shadows were wriggling
in the light as if it was burning them. Staring at it, Karlee felt herself
paralyze. Fear raked over her, violently sending her heard into her throat and
blocking the scream she couldn’t seem to conjure.
The man slammed the door, hiding the horrid sight from her and
in one smooth motion took her hand and turned towards the road. “I have to get
you out of here,” he said as he started to pull her away from the library and
down the sidewalk.
Following along, Karlee nearly stumbled and smashed her toe
into the concrete. Ignoring it, she found her voice and asked, “What was that?”
That's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed!
