Awaken the Elements snippet!

This Sunday snippet shows my love of horror movies. Here is a snippet from Awaken the Elements coming soon. BTW don't forget the awesome key chain giveaway beneath this post!

Ivy Lee and Envy sat away from the others, writing poems. Envy stood up. “I think I’ve finished,” she said. Only Ivy Lee looked the least bit interested in her announcement.
            Autumn noticed they weren’t paying attention to her and frowned. “Listen to me, dammit!” Three sets of eyes darted to her.
            “Away from the sun, troubled by the moon,” Envy started to read her poem.
            “Now listen. I was talking about Autumn’s Guide to Surviving Scary Movies, or actually, Surviving Halloween.” She continued to pace.
            “Can’t sleep right, left, but maybe south,” Envy said a little louder.
            “Number one.” Autumn held up her finger. “If someone offers you a million dollars to stay in a real haunted house, buy a lottery ticket. You’ll have a better chance.” Stefan chuckled as he tossed up his football.
            “I can’t feel my hands. As I look at them they melt.” Drake listened respectfully to Envy.
            “Number two.” Autumn went on. “Don’t read out loud from a demon book.”
            “I see green men. No you can’t bite my ear.” Jaime was torn; both were entertaining enough.
            “Number three. The worst things you can do are screech girlishly and throw your arms up over your face in front of anything evil. That’s the equivalent of offering them a turkey leg.”
            “Melting world wishes you good night, while Bean dances happily across your eyes,” Envy said, staring at her sister, annoyed.
            “Number four. If you hear any freaky sounds, leave.” Autumn stopped pacing and thought for a minute.
            “I grow horns at night when I sleep and run around with a fork.” Envy used her sister’s pause and spoke louder.
            “Number five. Don’t visit certain evil areas.  Elm Street, anywhere in Maine, avoid those in-breeders down in Texas who fancy chainsaws, and so on.”
            “I plan on poking you till you pass out, or until my fork breaks,” Envy said, finishing and sat down. Ivy Lee clapped.

            “Number six. When you drop a monster, never poke it to see if it’s dead. Usually it isn’t, and it’ll just pop up and eat you,” Autumn said, continuing since no one else was talking. “Number seven. If it's dead and lying still, kill it again. One can never be too sure about these things, and monsters are notorious ankle biters. Number eight. If your child starts doing odd things or speaking in another person’s voice, put the kid out of its misery. You’ll save yourself tons of grief in the long run. Number nine. Klatuu Barada Nicto. Learn it. Know it. Use it properly. And number ten. This is by far the easiest because we already know about it. It's all in their heads. It seems to be a universal truth that you can drop a zombie by scrambling their eggs for them. Become Little Bunny Foo Foo, and live.”
