Snippet Sunday: Blood Witch

[image error] She had gotten home, her anger riding high in the winds. She had come into her power late and Rich and his master Jonathan had been there, unexpected, to show her what she could be. They showed her a side she had never seen. Something exotic, different, tainted. At first she had enjoyed it, but deep down she knew it had been wrong. Her body had loved the pleasure that they gave her. Rich had been her “soul mate-” both blood witches in the same town, it had to mean something. Jonathan had been her lover. Human bodies weren’t meant to mate with wereanimals, even in human form they were rough. However, she was not a normal human, and she enjoyed the pain. Then there came the bloodletting, and the dark magic.

She grabbed Persuasion by Jane Austen off the bedside table, and after bunching her pillows around her, she started reading. Lately her only comfort was Miss. Austen. Persuasion was her favorite below Pride & Prejudice. Before her new life had started, her awakening into the Opposite Side, she felt her life was exactly like Anne Elliot. When she had been normal she had been just your regular plain young lady. Her family cared little for her. Except as help to help pay bills, they really had no use for her. She had always been the odd one out. So when Richard introduced her to the Opposite Side she thought she had stepped into a fairy tale, because she was pretty to them actually her power was. Sometimes she wished she never came into her power.

She was getting to the part when Anne finally left to Bath to be with her father and older sister when her phone rang. Irritated she looked at the number, and noticed it didn’t have an ID. “Hello?”

“Leslie,” whispered a small-frightened voice. “Here in Snelling, is rogue werebear. Hurry, help.”

It sounded like a troll. “Where are you?” She jotted down what he hissed to her quickly before hanging up.
