#8Sunday: Like father, like daughter ~ Excerpt from BRYCE #scifirom #sfr #romance
Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
I’m going to stick with BRYCE for a few more weeks until BEYOND REACH is ready to start sharing. In last week’s excerpt, you found out why Bryce (known as the greatest Defender still in service) didn’t want anyone to find out Katrina was his daughter. But, sometimes children are more like their parents than their parents want them to be…
Bryce stared, his jaw hanging open like all of the other Defenders standing with him outside the training room, watching Katrina through the one-way mirror. No one in the Alliance would believe a half-Hemera girl raised on Earth would have the agility and fierceness to battle the Erebus the way his daughter did. Or at least the holographic ones attacking her as part of the Defender training program. And not the beginner level, but one Bryce recommended for his squad.
The bulky Erebus hologram lunged at Katrina, swinging its tentacles wildly. With ease, his daughter spun out of its reach, somehow avoiding getting caught up in any part of the creature. Then she launched herself onto its back and slammed the zuranium blade into its thick, knurled chest, a perfect kill, but not one any Defender usually made. They preferred the safety of distance, using the bow or plazer. But, Katrina favored the blade, bringing her in close contact with her target. Brave or stupid, he didn’t know, but all the more reason for Bryce to send in his retirement forms and get his daughter away from the Alliance before Kimba drafted her.
