Six Sentence Sunday

This is a piece from my WIP A Soul to Take. 

“Get someone else,” she demanded.  Her knuckles turned white as she rubbed her hands along the length of her pants.  

Her aura swirled black and red, both anger and passion -- a dangerous and seductive combination.  If he played her right and manipulated her world, he would make her his.  Soon, he would be able to walk among the mortals, and she would be able to walk with him in dreams. 

“Such a nice place,” he willed the layers of time to fade, “I almost forgot what it was like to be amongst the living.”

  2. Love the mythological undertone here, Alyn!

    I love her apprehension, and somehow, I get the feeling she's the perfect person here whether she realizes it or not. ;-)

  13. "amongst the living" Does that mean he's a ghost?

    I really like this, and at least it sounds like she knows what he's up to, or has just learned of it.
