journey.
Below you can find an Excerpt from The Not-So
Dead (Book 1)
Available January 21st, 2020
As
she moved her way with uncertainty about the city, Faye’s hunger only grew. She
still felt the essence of the guy she almost killed and part of her wanted
more. Yet, she couldn’t just leech off anyone. She thought about their
families, their loved ones, and significant others.
She
wasn’t like Maddy or Tristan. They never thought twice before doing what came
naturally. She never wanted to be that way but, if it came down to it, there
wasn’t any other choice. She blamed the wraith who made her into an almost
unstoppable killing machine.
The
idea that dark magic was the source of this energy inside her boggled her and
the more she thought about it, the more she wondered if there was the
possibility to be cured from it. Maybe it was like some disease passed from
person to person and somewhere, out in the world, someone had the antidote.
Carter appeared to know more than any average human did about the supernatural,
so maybe… just maybe… he had the answer.
This
pushed her to find him, but how?
She
remembered the night they bumped into each other. He came from the direction
she was now heading to, but there were many apartment buildings on that street
and the next.
I
should’ve thought this through.
All
the while watching her back, she continued on and reached a less busy area of
Hueman; a part she’d never visited before. It was the older part of the town,
complete with rundown boarded buildings and red brick streets. Completely
deserted with no apartment buildings in sight, she crossed the street and began
to make her way back.
“Spare
change?”
A
homeless man sat with his back against a tree with a pile of dirty blankets on
his left and an old grocery cart on his right. A gnarled beard clung to his
chin and sunken cheekbones, and a few buttons held together his ratty and dirty
shirt.
“Excuse
me?”
“Spare
change?” the homeless man said again.
Faye
dug into her backpack for a few bills when she realized they were the only two
individuals on the street. He was what her nomadic family called a perfect
source: alone, unwatched. These were the type of humans that no one missed, if
a wraith wanted to take more than allowed. Or if a wraith just wanted to take a
little, they could and leave their victims in a catatonic state. It was how
Dusk found Essie but instead of leeching from her, he accepted her into the
family.
Faye
grabbed his hand but when she took a closer look, she noticed that his hazed
eyes weren’t locked on her. Instead they stared off to the side. He was blind
and that would’ve made leeching from his easier, except for the fact that her
humanity prevented her from doing so.
“I’m
not a monster,” she whispered and drew her hand back. It was one good rule that
Dusk taught her.
“What?”
he asked.
But
he was too perfect! He couldn’t tell anyone what she looked like and if he
screamed, no one would hear him. Unbearable, her hunger pushed aside her
humanity and she took his hand again. Instead of pleasure, she felt a sinking
feeling in her stomach as he tried to slip his hand away.
The
leeching started off slowly. The first drops told her everything she needed to
know about his essence. It was like drinking old alcohol and it also reminded
her of the brussel sprouts her mother forced her to eat when she was a kid. She
loathed them just as much as she loathed her victim’s nauseous energy.
“Let…
let go of me.” He tried to draw his hand back again, but there was no way he
could compete with her strength.
“I’m
sorry, just a little more.” She focused. “The harder you fight against it, the
more it’ll hurt you.” She encouraged the warmth of his energy and kept drawing
more and more until his hand went limp and his body slumped forward.
She
let go and caught him before he fell to his side. “I’m sorry.” She propped him
up against the tree. A string of drool dripped from the corner of his opened
mouth. He was still alive and she let out a sigh of relief.
Finally,
she was able to control how she fed. It was a start, anyway. “Thank you.” She took
a few dollars from her backpack and placed them in his lap. It wasn’t much, but
it made her feel a little less guilty.
Now
she could begin looking for Carter again, or so she thought until she saw the
one person she didn’t want to run into, alone.
He
stood down the street, about twenty feet ahead with a long sharp stake in his
right hand and a crossbow in his left. Faye froze as soon as she saw him. He
wore the same oval mask and clothing he did when she first saw him. His red
shard necklace adorned his neck and it moved slightly, catching the moon’s
glow.
WOW that’s a great excerpt. I loved meeting Faye.
