“Wonder Woman” snippet from “ACCENDO” the 3rd Novel in “The Light-Bearer Series” be Emily Guido

All the family was gathered in Dmitri’s rather large study/library where he arranged for the evening meal and strategy session to attack the Elder Council.
“Pizza! I love pizza!” Charmeine exclaimed as Oksana was bringing in the food.

Everyone chuckled.
Shane said, “Yep, at Joe’s on Union in Holbrook, I’ve seen Char put down a large pizza by herself.”
Sandra bumped knuckles with Charmeine and yelled, “Girl Power!”
Later after the squad enjoyed their respective dinners, Charmeine noticed there was a positive mood in the room.
Dmitri said, “Everyone let us move to my conference table and get to work.” Once they were seated, Dmitri first said very politely, “My Queen, please do not think we are leaving you out of the planning, but several of us here have military training. Will you indulge us while we plan?”
Charmeine threw her shoulders back and said, “Not at all, I just want to be in on the fight.”
“Oh, you will be,” Dmitri said with a big smile.
She saw Tabbruis tense up. She whispered, “You are my Champion, remember? You will be right with me, together.”
“Always,” Tabbruis said with a strained smile.
Dmitri asked, “Let us go around the table assessing strengths and weaknesses, shall we?”
“Like a SWOT Analysis?” Sandra inquired.
“Oh my… very good, Sandra, that is correct.” Dmitri replied.
Sandra started the Smartboard and the screen lit up before them. She drew four squares labeling them S-W-O-T.
They evaluated every aspect of their strengths and weaknesses.
“My Queen, do you know what your capabilities are?” Dmitri asked. “At practice the other night, each of us demonstrated and evaluated our proficiencies. I have fought with Tabbruis before in many battles, and I know he has the same abilities as I do.”
Tabbruis nodded and said, “Yes, Dmitri. Not to sound immodest, but I am an excellent swordsman and with hand to hand combat.”
Charmeine replied, “I know my powers have increased since they appeared at Jones Beach in Long Island.” She laughed, “Geez Louise…that seems like ages ago.”
Shane, Tabbruis and Charmeine laughed out loud.
“You’ve got that right Char,” Shane said.
“Oh… very good My Queen,” Dmitri asked, “The question is, can you manifest the powers at your will?”
Charmeine looked pensive and asked, “Do you have a terrace? If you do, would you mind if it gets messed up?”
“Oh my… not at all my Queen,” Dmitri replied with a smile.
A few minutes later the squad was gathered on Dmitri’s terrace. Charmeine tensed up. Tabbruis was by her side, and she whispered, “I don’t know if I can do this.”
Everyone looked concerned.
Tabbruis wisely shook his head and whispered, “Charmeine all you have to do is think about you, me and our family and the very deadly threat of it being taken away. Think about when you were in Heaven and how you came to save me. Use the determination which is deep down inside your soul Charmeine. You are strong and will do anything to protect your family. I will be here with you. I am your Champion.”
With conviction, she said, “Please step beside me, Tabbruis.”

As he did, she began to think about protecting Tabbruis, Shane, Sandra, Thomas, Neal and Dmitri. She felt the adrenaline running through her veins and thought, ‘Get your hands off my family!’ Charmeine concentrated on the very real threat from Pascal the other Elders. Just then, her fingers began to spark and a white light illuminated the terrace. The wind began to blow and cracks of thunder roared through the sky. Her hair was flying from the gushes of wind. She put her hands out and shot a bolt of lightning across the terrace and it hit a statue on the walking path about 200 feet away. She closed her eyes and huge balls of hail began to rain down on the pasture below. With a push off the ground, she jumped up and started slowly flying. At first, she hovered. Suddenly, Charmeine shot across them down to the field as fast as a shooting star. She flew around a tree headed for the terrace and yelled, “Whoo Hoo!”
Charmeine took off past them circling each of the lawn statues.
Shane shouted, “All right Mom!” and started clapping.
Sandra started jumping up and down and exclaimed, “Way to go girlfriend!”
Everyone started clapping and yelling. Tabbruis was smiling proudly. She waived and then decided to come back down to the Earth. Charmeine flew to the terrace and jumped down next to Tabbruis.
Charmeine was panting and overjoyed.
Tabbruis shouted while clapping and smiling, “I cannot believe it! You are amazing Charmeine! You did it honey! You are wonderful!”
She threw her arms around him and planted a big kiss on him. Everyone was still shouting and clapping.
Charmeine began to well up with tears and said, “All I thought about was protecting my family.”
Dmitri smiled wide with a joyous look on his face saying, “Oh my… well we knew you were a wonder, but…”
Shane yelled, “My Mom is Superman! Sick!”

Sandra shouted correcting him smiling, “Wonder Woman, Sergeant Kelly!”
Shane laughed and said, “Correction noted Sergeant Gomez,” and they kissed.
The squad began to go back into the study. Once at the table, Dmitri called the meeting to order.
Charmeine could tell the mood of the meeting became charged with optimism. The men agreed they would plan to attack on August 31st during the Full Moon a few days away. However, she became tense, fretful and felt as though ants were crawling up her back. She knew something was not right and this wrong was major!
