I'm back!! Or am I??
After three months of not posting anything and feeling utterly guilty about it, I am back.
Not a whole lot has been happening in my life as of lately, and most of what is, isn't too pleasant, so ther isn't much to say. Unfortunately, my writing has been very minimal almost close to the non existent. The ideas are coming in, being recorded and written down, but to actually put them into chapters has been very hard.
I decided to post a very short scene from Forevermore (book 3 in the Trilogy) below. It is in Abbie's POV as we will be learning more about her and her evilness.
I hope you all enjoy!!!
"I
nodded and looked past her and out the window. The moon was full and overly
white, and before I could stand my ground, I slipped into it.
I walked through the empty and dark dirt road, hiding in the darkest
corners keeping away from any wondering eyes. “No one must see you,” is what he had said. The warm
feelings that came from thinking of him swarmed inside my belly like a thousand
happy butterflies. Soon I would be in his arms and nothing else would matter.
Once I had finally reached the barn, I pushed the heavy door open and
hurried in, seeking warmth from the icy wind that had whipped my face as I had
made my way here.
The barn wasn't much warmer, and my body shivered painfully. I was not
used to such feeling but I welcomed it anyhow, I had done all of this for him.
He was everything I wanted, everything I needed, and tonight would be the first
in a lifetime together.
I sat on a pile of hay across from the horses that watched me intently.
They knew I was different, or at least had been... animals can always sense it.
Wrapping my arms around my knees I rested my chin on them and closed my eyes.
There was something in the air, something that did not sit well with me, a
scent stronger than anything I had experienced during the day. I looked up and
out the small window on the side of the barn. The sky was black. Darker than I
had ever seen it, but the whiteness of the moon calmed my uneasiness.
That's when it began.
The beginning of my end."
