A SCI.FI. FILLED WITH ROMANC AND ADVENTURE
EXCERPT: LOVE'S BRIGHT STAR
Desperation gave her the extra strength to
drag her arms upward from her sides. As Siobhan’s freed hands rose, her claws
cut into his arms. He opened his mouth to scream. This is it. The moment of
no return. The conscious commitment of an act against a ‘normal’ human
being was the ultimate crime in the eyes of the law. Her terror at fever pitch,
her arms drawn high ready to strike, and suddenly…silence descended.
In that instant, everything stopped moving.
People stood frozen in mid-stride, mouths fixed in mid-sentence. She could hear
the ticking of the cooling hot metal on the air conditioners, and the tinkling
of the revolving lights as they slowed. Her fear turned to confusion. Her
assailant stood rigid, mouth gaping, a silent scream on his lips. Her lungs
ached with held air and she breathed out in a soft puff.
What the hell is happening? She ducked down between his stiff arms and
saw a movement to her left. Coming towards her, slipping around the static
dancers, was a tall, lean man. Friend or foe? Her fear, momentarily
subsiding, rose again. Her claws, beginning to retract, shot forward once more.
Before she could decide whether to fight or flee, he stopped.
“Quickly! This way!” He stood just out of her reach. He extended one
hand toward her, pointing towards the exit with his other. His gaze pleaded
with her.
“We have to hurry. This won’t last long.” God, what gorgeous eyes. What fabulous curls.
