I will post 7 paragraphs from the YA paranormal novel that I'm currently working on. So far I've changed the title several times, but for now it stays on "Angel Inside". By the way, the Prologue to this novel is posted on this blog under the "Monthly Story Treat" page. The name you should look for in the right hand-side panel is "God Given Series".
Now the excerpt:
Really, were they
here to fight Death?
My eyes traveled from Jonah's bottomless black gaze to the shiny
silver one of the fallen, searching for any sign of the reason for
their unexpected visit. Not that it wasn't obvious – I mean,
clearly their master had something to do with it – but they
should've known that I never responded well to threats of any sort.
Nor was it in my nature to be afraid of anything other than God
Himself.
And since the shadows were now covering me too, I felt it was time to
manifest my usual attire. The black suit with silver trimming was
much more comfortable than any swimwear, especially when I was about
to do business.
“Long time no see, Frael.” I said with an air
of nonchalance, now completely dressed. “Care to explain what
you're doing here?”
The fallen snorted in what I could only describe as disgust, while
his son growled fiercely. I winced, as the wave of Jonah's decaying
scent washed over me. It was growing stronger the more he expended
his energy and emotions, and I felt a dangerous excitement build up
in me.
I shook my head, suppressing the hunger that threatened to rise
inside. This wasn't the time to fall into the alluring embrace of my
dark desires. They might not ruin me, but I couldn't say the same
about those who happened to be around.
“Why, Evan, we've been wondering the exact same
thing.” Frael replied coldly, a healthy dose of sarcasm dripping
from his voice. I didn't fail to notice however, that he'd said 'we'
instead of 'I', confirming my theory that indeed, the impostor had
sent him here. The only question was what for?
I had no answer to his question though, so I shrugged innocently and
gave him the most truthful reply I could think of.
