College is a Dangerous Place: Read Teen Vampire Horror ‘The Teen Game’

Today I share an excerpt from my first published short story The Teen Game, featured in the YA anthology Devils, Demons and Werewolves

 


Excerpt

That afternoon I sat near to the boy I wanted. He was tall and slender with short black hair in a spiked style. I learnt that his name was David Samson and I set about making small talk while we had our first practical art lesson. He was extremely shy and seemed confused as to why I wanted his attention but slowly he began to respond, amid much cajoling from his friends. He was another local born and bred who had come to college straight from the affiliated high school. I was very much the outsider in this place but that didn’t faze me in the slightest. Shelley and I ended our first day with invitations to join a group of boys at the pool club in the nearby cinema complex on Wednesday evening. Naturally the group included my David. Everything was progressing smoothly.

Alpha Battles in Love Redeems (A Redcliffe Novel)

 “Jessica,” Danny said, shaking his head, “Jessica, please don’t do this. Send her away. Fight her.”

I laughed, and my voice sounded deep and throaty, ending in a growl.
“I do not want to send her away,” I said, “I want to embrace her power. She is my tiger. We work together.”
“You don’t mean that,” Danny replied, “Remember who I am.”
“You are the alpha male,” I said, “You are worthy of our attention.”
“Jessica,” Danny said, “I do not want to play with your tiger. I want you,” he paused, staring at me with glowing blue eyes, “Jessica, I want you.” He said again.
I hesitated, mulling over his words. Something stirred within me, a memory of another man who looked identical to the alpha. The other man was not a wolf. He was dead. I didn’t want a dead thing. I wanted heat, power, and life. I moved towards the alpha, my body preparing to pounce. My movements were smooth, agile and feline. I loved the way I moved, so graceful and delicate, so strong. I pounced.

Tension at Work for the Vampire Hunter

 “Are you supposed to be my replacement?” I asked.

“I guess,” Damian said vaguely, “The council called me back, and here I am. They said it was a delicate matter. When they told me it was your previous target, I had to take the job. I mean, come on, your story is famous in our circles!”
“My story?” I asked.
He shrugged.
“Yeah,” he replied, “The hardest hunter in town falls in love with a vampire, a lesbian vampire I might add,” he held a hand up as I tried to argue, “and then almost got herself killed? Yep, you are famous, Hannah Ashland, or Oakley, whatever your name is nowadays.”
