Promises… Abraham’s UN-DEAD @KMNbooks @RebeccaJVickery #8sunday #snippetsunday
Welcome to Snippet Sunday. Since it's is creeping closer to Halloween, I thought I'd changes things up a bit. This is a snippet from my Halloween short story from the Myths, Legends, and Midnight Kisses Collection.
Enjoy a snippet from Abraham's UN-DEAD . Feedback is always appreciated.
If you're interested in last week's snippet of Abraham's UN-DEAD here you go:
Snippet: This is from Chapter Two where Adryanna and Bram (vampires), decide to help an ailing lad (7 year old, Abraham) with a few drops of their vampire blood, but Abraham believes the vampires want to drink his blood. He's not afraid, but thinks it a great adventure.
The year is 1854, Dublin, Ireland. This is in Bram's POV.

"My blood would not be potent enough for blood-drinkers, I think," the child said and his cheery outlook failed for a moment, no doubt thinking about his weaken state.
"We do not seek your blood for nourishment," Bram told the boy. "We seek your company for a far greater reason."
"You do? What is it?" the lad's childish voice was a hoarse whisper, and anticipation shone bright in his eyes.
"We need you to keep our secret," Bram said. "You must not reveal that you know what we are and for your secrecy, we would like to grant you good health."
The child's eyes lit up at the prospect of such a gift. "Good health," he murmured. "I would be able to run and play as the other children can? Please, I pray, tell me it is so."
