An excerpt from Thunderlight, BOOK TWO in the series
The girl had made it.
The
Rubicon saved her life, so a part of him was still fighting me. I could
still see her eyes searching mine. They bore into my soul, seeking
answers. How was this possible! The wall wouldn’t allow any human to go
to the other side.
Albert’s
laughter echoed inside the castle; s startling reminder that good would
always win. He would pay dearly for this. I would find a way, but I
promised she wouldn’t live much longer.
I
got up, rubbed my face hard and let the emotion of my anger escaped my
lips. The rage that emanated from deep within me overpowered the
haunting laughter and echoed throughout the entire castle.
“Master,” Cain’s voice interrupted my thoughts.
“Speak my loyal servant,” I said out loud. “What is the news?”
“Everything is in place. We won’t fail you,” his voice said in my head.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and let it out hard. “We’ll see.”Chapter One
Castle of Etan
Anger,
betrayal, and hate turned my stomach acid, it consumed my mind and I
watched as bottles, papers and books on the desk, flew off and crushed
to the floor.
A
maid rushed to my side. She didn’t say anything, but her eyes reflected
fear. The dustpan in her hand trembled as she started to sweep up the
jagged shards of glass. Rising from the floor she began to straighten
the books that had fallen to the floor in a heap. Every few seconds I
would notice her eyes dart nervously in my direction as if a mere breath
would make me lash out as her with my outstretched hand.
I
touched her face gently until my hand reached her neck, tightening
slowly as my anger began to rise once again. My grip tightened around
her soft, shapely neck as I lifted her up from her position on the floor
at my feet. Listening carefully I could hear her heart fluttering like a
bird trapped inside a cage.
“How did I become this way?” I thought, giving voice to my reality softly.
She
just stared at me with round, brown unblinking eyes. Her eyes were
sunken deep into the surface of her face and her cheek bones were
sharply defined.
Looking at her sullen face made me feel worse. I lifted up my other hand and struck the woman hard across her cheek.
A
cry left her mouth and I threw her from me as if she weighed nothing.
She skidded across the floor landing in a heap against a wall of cold,
unforgiving stone. If I was a dragon I would blast fire, redeem this
wretched place to a pile of insignificant ashes.
Two
other maids, hearing the startled cry, rushed into the room. Their eyes
were wide as they took in the room and the immobile heap near the far
wall. “Sorry, me lord,” the older one said. “She’s new, we will train
her better.”
They
picked up the maid who had come too and begun sobbing. She clutched the
side of her face, cover the huge red hand print where I struck her.
I nodded. The old maid knew her place well, although I still didn’t care for her name, she knew where she stood.
I
plunged myself down onto the chair and closed my eyes. A silent roar
growled inside of me lighting a fire of rage deep in my core.
