EXCERPT:
I hadn’t been asleep
long when the creaking sound of a door nearby startled me awake. I lay still,
listening. After hearing the extremely slow, almost non-existent heartbeat
downstairs, I figured William had come back.
I had just rolled over
and closed my eyes again when something jerked me from the bed by my hair and
threw me across the room. My back slammed against the wall, leaving a large
busted place in the plaster. I slid down the wall, shook my head to clear it,
then jumped up and scanned the room. I tried to see my attacker, but couldn’t.
An icy hand grabbed my
arm and hurled me through the window, glass shattered all around me. I hit the
lower roof and rolled. I scrambled, trying to grasp anything to stop my fall,
forgetting I couldn’t die. My hand caught the gutter, but as my body fell over
the edge, the metal broke away from the house, sending me head first onto the
brick patio below. When I hit the ground I landed on my arm and shoulder. The impact
dislocated my elbow and jammed a large jagged piece of glass through the back
of my shoulder.
After I jumped to my
feet, I popped my elbow back in place, and pulled out the chunk of glass,
sickened by the soft sucking sound it made. Bright red liquid oozed from the
cut as it started to heal. Trying to spot my attacker, I inhaled deeply through
my nose. They were definitely close by. I couldn’t see anyone, but I could damn
sure smell them. They reeked of rotting tissue and death, which turned my
stomach. A vampire could withstand many things, but puss-filled blood wasn’t
one of them.
The brightness of the new
day and the heat from the sun drained my strength. I think my attacker had
known it. I eased backward in the direction of the house, making sure not to
let my guard down while I headed for shade. By the time I reached the back door,
I felt sure whoever tried to kill me had gone as the stench had disappeared.
An uneasiness overwhelmed
me. Why would someone attack me and then run away when they clearly had gotten
the better of me? I couldn’t fight what I couldn’t see.
My head snapped to the
side when I heard tires squealing. I couldn’t tell if they were coming or going
until I heard a door slam and the sound of William’s voice call my name. I
grabbed the knob, but found the back door locked.
“William. I’m out
here,” I yelled, and banged on the door. He must have heard my racing heart and
known I was in trouble. I heard him scream my name.
He yelled my name one
last time before he snatched open the back door.
“Oh William, thank God
you’re here. Something attacked me.” I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist,
thankful he’d gotten back.
William didn’t bother
to hold me. Instead, he reached behind his back and grabbed my hands, then
jerked me inside the house. His massive grip made my arms throb, but nothing
could hurt nearly as bad as the words he spoke. “What did you do, Genevieve?”
His eyes turned a terrifying black, again, and the look on his face said he
wanted to kill me. His gaze flitted between my eyes and my hands, then he
released me. He spun on his heel and stormed into the kitchen.
