So I know all of you were probably wondering if I was every going to update again, and some of you had probably given up all hope. But, I assure you, that I am back! Some personal problems followed by work and the end of season two rather sucked my inspiration dry which is I haven't really been able to update in so long. I'm back on track now, however, and decided that I should treat all of my dedicated readers to a little treat. I present to you a preview of chapter eight. Enjoy!
Lightning lit up her room as her heartbeat hammered in her ears. She didn't know why she'd waken up, she could only guess it was the storm outside. But now that she was awake she knew better. Her heart was pumping blood and adrenaline through her veins. The tips of her fingers were tingling, the same way they did when she was ready to pop off somewhere. Her body was in panic mode and she had no idea why.
She sat completely still in bed, every sense on high alert. Something was close, something that wasn't supposed to be there. And it was getting closer.
The adrenaline made her body shake in desperation. She wanted to run, wanted to scream, wanted to get away. But there was nothing to run from, not yet.
Her body told her it was getting closer. It was running now, it knew she was close. Her eyes were trained on the window, straining through the night and the rain to see anything. Her mind was screaming now, telling her to run, but it was too late. Fear had her frozen in place, she couldn't escape.
Another bolt of lightening lit up the yard, revealing it to be empty, save for the wind ravishing the trees. Slowly she began to will herself to calm down. There was nothing out there. She'd had a nightmare and was over reacting now that she was awake. Slowly she laughed at herself, she felt like some bad actress in a horror movie.
Another clap of thunder and bolt of lightening and her heart stopped.
"Hello Adele."
She screamed.
Yes, I know, short and sweet. But this marks just half of what chapter eight will cover, since I decided to combine eight and nine into one as a sort of apology for taking eight months to update. So far I have half of the chapter written and will probably have it posted this weekend, I promise.
