Who's on summer holiday?
I'm not, but I'm counting the days. Just two more weeks, two more.
I'm continuing with the story from the previous weeks. In previous posts we saw that Kaila was in front of a Sin's door, staring in horror at the grotesque depictions. She's down there because she needs to access into his lair to save his sister.
The description of the door continues for a few more lines, but I'm skipping over them to introduce you to a new character.

The
need to get her sister out of there turned even more urgent and Kaila reached for
the iron wrought pommel.
“Going
anywhere, babe?”
She
froze. The hairs on the back of her neck stood. She recognized that voice for she’d heard it countless times in her 31 years.
“You
didn’t think you’d be able to run past me, did you, babe?”
Sexy, deep, with an
exaggerated drawl. She clenched her jaw. Damn Guardian. What the hell was he
doing here?

Yes, what IS he doing there, keeping people from sin? Interesting snippet!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, interesting that the Guardian doesn't exactly seem to be welcome. Enjoying these excerpts!
ReplyDeleteHe seems like a powerful new character if he is capable of causing hairs to stand on the back of the neck. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteOOhh the plot thickens, as it were. :-)
ReplyDelete"What the hell was he doing here?" I wonder if the answer does indeed have something to do with hell.
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me that's not her happy to see him hair raise... Good snippet!
ReplyDeleteLucky you– I've got about 3 weeks left. :( Also, I know she may not be happy to see him, but I kinda am! ;)
ReplyDeleteGuardian? Guarding whom from what?? Interesting twist, Elyzabeth!
