Happy Sunday, guys!
Apologies for last week's mishap. I signed up but set up the post on the wrong date so it obviously did not show up. *facepalm* It's been heat wave after heat wave here in Madrid so we've been having +100º F which in consequence has meant a lot of sleepless nights. Add to that a ton of work and I've been exhausted. Today it's cooled a little bit, but rumor is temperatures are going to rise again starting tomorrow. Sigh. I can't wait for my holidays! Only two more weeks.
Anyway, on to the snippet!
Let's
recap: Clare (aka Luna), has met a mysterious, yet hunky, alien who's
come to take her back to his home. She believes he's Mikelo, the alien
boy she'd met twenty years ago... but he's presented himself as Serrik.
In shock, Clare doesn't know how to react. Serrik taunts her and asks
her why she is not screaming. In the previous snippet he tells her that
her destiny is tied with his people. Clare denies it and he threatens
her. Serrik will do whatever it takes to get Clare back to his world and
to Mikelo.
Serrik has let Clare know that if she doesn't adapt to his alien world
she'll die (be killed). Clare runs and Serrik follows at a slow pace
until he gets tired, hides behind a tree and re-captures her. Finally, he drags her back to his own world, where we meet Mikelo.

Mikelo closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose with
his thumb and forefinger. He hoped not, for if she had become weak she would not survive
long in his kingdom. He swallowed the bitter bile that climbed to the back of
his throat at the thought. Serrik had told him he believed she was strong. Even
though he’d
brought her in his arms, unconscious after she’d
stepped through the portal and glimpsed at their red skies, he still thought
she was resilient. Mikelo valued the other man’s
opinion. He would arm himself with patience and wait. He would not be quick to
judge. She deserved more than that.

I am very intrigued, Elyzabeth! What is up with this world that she might not be tough enough to survive? Red skies... Interesting!
ReplyDeleteWonderful writing with intrigue and doubts about the beautiful woman. But we are women and we are strong so even in fiction, you'll make it work!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this story and pondering the two men and which one she'll end up with (or both?). Happy to see another excerpt from it today and it was nice to have some of Mikelo's thoughts.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly does deserve more than that. Fab snippet, as always, Elyzabeth :-)
ReplyDeleteThe least he could do in my opinion. Great snippet, Elyzabeth.
