Today I share an excerpt from my second published short story My New Master, featured in the YA anthology The Mirador Fantasmagoria. This gives some back story to our favourite lieutenant werewolf, Simon Bunce from the Redcliffe novels…
Excerpt
“Ok Marie,
tell me about this family. What do you want me to do?”
She smiled
again.
“Simon you
are so young, so innocent! I know about your mother. But I am not like her. I
am like Danny.”
Here she
nodded in his direction, and I half turned to look at him. His face was
serious, his blue eyes blazing as he spoke.
“Marie
please don’t do this. You cannot destroy this boy’s life. Let him go.”
He moved
towards Marie and suddenly she lunged at him. I shouted her name and tried to
block her, but she was stronger than I thought. Marie shoved me so hard I
staggered back to the sofa and suddenly she was on top of me again, her hand
clamped around my throat as she hissed in my ear.
“You
shouldn’t have done that, Simon.”
She
lifted her face, and I whimpered as I saw her eyes, not human. They were animal
eyes. She sniffed my face and nuzzled my neck. I struggled but she was too strong,
and she held me firm against the sofa with her body. I heard Detective Mason
behind her and sensed him moving cautiously closer.
“Mistress
please let him go. You are frightening him. Your business is with me now;
punish me, not him.”
She
laughed and spoke while looking at my face.
“Oh, Danny
you are so vain! I will deal with you afterwards. But first I must bring Simon
into our family.”
Suddenly
she struck my neck, tearing at the flesh and biting me. I cried out but the
sound was muffled by her hand over my mouth. I felt something clawing at my
stomach, heard cloth and flesh tearing, then I felt searing pain as blood
poured from my body. Everything went black.
