In the meantime, a teaser awaits your reading pleasure...
Skyla
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Jey shoots up from the ground. “What was that?”
Crossing my arms,
I give him a bitter stare. Too bad it’s
too dark for him to get the full effect.
“I told you I heard something.”
“Shhhh,” he
cautions, slowly pulling himself up to a crouching position.
I follow his lead,
raising myself up onto the balls of my feet, my fingers digging into the earth
below. About a mile away from us there’s
something glowing, turning the golden grass into eerie, neon green. Behind the glow is a large metallic structure
that I instantly recognize. It’s the
Striker. Bile rises slowly in my throat and
I swallow it back, trying not to let my fear disable me completely.
“We’ve got to go.”
I pull on Jey’s sleeve trying to
persuade him to run.
“Wait,” he says,
shaking his arm free. “Something’s
happening.”
I’m pretty sure I
don’t want to see what’s happening, but I don’t want to get separated from
Jey either.
We watch the green
light as it flickers in and out.
Finally, it splits into three separate beams and moves away from the
base of the Striker.
“What is it?” I whisper.
“I’m not
sure. It looks like a search party or
something,” Jey says.
“All the more
reason for us to leave,” I reiterate.
Suddenly, the
lights break away from each other completely.
One’s on the left, one is on the right and one is directly center. It only takes a moment for me to realize the
shift in direction. The lights are gaining
speed and they’re headed straight for us.
We are being
hunted.
Crazy!! Well, I'm off to write, write, write!! See you guys on the flip side...oh, and Happy Reading!!
