Excerpt!
I gasped in horror as if I had been struck, too. He got up fast, but he wasn’t fast enough. The fog grabbed his leg and tossed him up to the ceiling.
Michael fell flat on the ground and lay still. Imagining the worst and clearly not thinking about the fog, I ran toward his prone figure.
The fog quivered at my movement, took the form of a snake, and lunged toward me like a bullet. Michael shot up and grabbed the beast in the nick of time. He flung it away, but in that instant, it shifted toward me and struck. Fangs pierced my chest, near my heart. Even Michael’s reflexes weren’t fast enough to stop it.
I lost my balance and fell hard onto the floor, crying out in agony. Michael and I made eye contact, and terror filled his eyes. I tried to get up, but the room spun and I lost all control of my muscles. My body arched off the floor and began to thrash. Unbelievable pain shot through me. White dots danced before my eyes as darkness threatened to claim me.
The last thing I saw was a blurry vision of what appeared to be a sword between Michael and the beast, and a gut-wrenching screech pierced through the fog of poison and pain.
Michael, I cried inside, unable to speak. I prayed it was the beast’s cry I heard as darkness took me.
I floated off the ground, light as a feather. Death must have come, the peace I had prayed for, that I hoped I had earned, would be my reward.
