Today’s snippet theme is Scary. Below is a scene from a book that I wrote with authors Aliyah Burke and Taige Crenshaw for our free read site called Satin Notes. Enjoy.
An snippet from Magnetism…
“Enough!” A loud voice rang through the clearing.
That voice sent tremors of fear and hate through her. David Hollingsworth. Kira dispatched the enemy before her, and her eyes scanned the area. Her heart beat slower as her gaze landed on Dane. He was close, and his eyes were hard as ice when they met hers. She was glad they were on the same side.
She saw a few others that she didn’t know as well, but it wasn’t the time for introductions. And she still didn’t know where Heller had gone.
David strode forward, his gait arrogant and sure. Dane and the others formed a line between him and Kira. She glanced back to her right and saw the white tiger, standing over a wounded lioness, and another one nearby that appeared dead. There were cuts all over him, and blood streamed from them.
“Hello, Kira.” David looked at her, and she tried not to be repulsed by what she saw–a man who had tried to kill her brother.
A low growl filled the air. The line of defenders parted, and David’s eyes fell to the tiger and the two at his feet. Rage filled the eyes that used to look upon her with love.
“What the hell have you done?” he demanded.
The tiger snarled at him before shifting. Right in front of her, the tiger became Heller Sidorov.
Bile rose in her throat. It was true! Heller was like those monsters. Unconsciously, she took a step back from him.
“I’ve protected what’s mine,” Heller spoke in a raspy tone, unmindful of the blood that ran down his arms.
“Sherona,” David gasped. “And Jessie.”
Kira watched in amazement as Heller reached down and lifted the still unconscious lioness into the air with one arm. The dangling cat changed into the blonde from before. The other lioness just stayed on the ground.
“You will die for this, Heller Sidorov!” David spat. He looked over to Kira. “You and I aren’t finished,” he said. Then he vanished.
So did his remaining people. All except the blonde, who Heller had by the neck.
“You’re going to die, Heller,” she cackled.
“How’s it feel to know he just left you?” Heller taunted. “You know he has his next pussy lined up.”
She spat at him.
“Now, now, Jessie,” Heller said. “Don’t tell me you don’t want to be our guest.” He handed her off to two men who showed up. “Get her out of here.”
Then he looked at Kira, who still wasn’t sure what to think or feel. She looked away from him. Suddenly, a cold feeling filled her. Kira looked at where the blonde woman had first appeared. An image seemed to waver in the air. She tried to make it out, but it never became clearer. It seemed to fade, but the strange feeling she had remained.
