Rainbow Snippets: Expecting a fight

Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.

Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.

Following on from last week’s snippet…

“We still live, yes?” Tracker said, his voice bordering on inaudible in comparison. “The camp is still in one piece?”

The tent entrance was shadowed by a person hunkered next to it. Definitely not either of the two elves. That left the hunter or the hedgewitch. He could think of no logical reason for either woman to be lingering there.

Dylan twitched a section of the flap to one side, crouching in the gap it gave him.

Marin’s back faced him. The woman squatted with her hand on the hilt of her massive hunting knife as though expecting a fight.

Beyond her, the two elves stood in the centre of the camp. Authril glowered up at the man, her legs planted and her hand firmly grasping her sheathed sword. The hound’s stance was far calmer, although no less ready to retaliate.

I’ll be back with more from In Love and Death next weekend. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
