Excerpt
A deep sleep washed over Jolán. She was in such a slumber
that she didn’t hear Crispus return home. Jolán didn’t hear the conversations
held by her brother, mother, and father; and she didn’t hear them turn in for
the night. The dream world had a hold of Jolán, and it wouldn’t let her go.
As she dreamed, Jolán saw images of extreme beauty; then,
she witnessed pictures of extreme darkness. The darkness was so strong that
Jolán began to sweat and turn while she slept in her bed. Her sweat drenched
the back of her neck and dampened her hair. Jolán dreamed of beautiful winged
men dancing around water fountains while doing arabesques and throwing red, pink,
white, and deep blue rose petals into the fountains of rushing clear water. In
her dream, Jolán walked over to the fountain, and she picked up a dark blue
rose petal and held it in her hand. She watched the winged performers dance
around the fountains splashing petals wherever they danced. The sun cast a
sunbeam on to her cheeks. She felt a warm breeze blow all around her, and she
enjoyed the warmth of the sun on her face. While Jolán held the rose petal in
her hand, she smelled the petal and she loved the clean and lightly perfumed
aroma it held. As she closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, a rather short
and round-figured man approached her by the fountain. The man had a pleasant
face with a short and neatly trimmed moustache. He scooped up water in his
palm, and the water turned a brilliant shade of purple. As Jolán stared at the
water in his hand, she watched as the water turned black, and then turned to
red, and then to yellow, and then finally the water turned back to a beautiful
shade of purple. As the man had his eyes locked on Jolán, he studied her
beauty, and he examined her curiosity.
When Jolán looked up and met the man’s eyes she asked, “How
did you do that?”
The man didn’t say anything, but instead he reached behind
Jolán’s left ear, and he pulled out a long willow branch with a beautiful white
dove perched on its limb.
Jolán let out a vibrant laugh and said, “Oh, My! You’re a
magician!”
The man slightly shook his head, indicating that he was not
a magician. Jolán looked at the white dove, and she reached out to pet the
bird’s head. The bird allowed Jolán to pet its head, and then the bird started
to coo in a subtle manner. Jolán thought she had never pet a bird on its head
before
As the man allowed Jolán to continue petting the bird, he
looked at her and said, “I am Voipele. I am the spirit of the forest. The Sky
World created me to watch over all of the living creatures that dwell within
the boundaries of the woods, but I am having a hard time protecting them right
now.”
Jolán thought to herself “Wow, this is an awesome dream,”
but she didn’t say anything to Voipele. Instead, Jolán continued to pet the
dove.
Voipele continued to say, “The sky world created you too,
Jolán. We have the responsibility of protecting the elements and the good
spirits on Earth.”
Jolán nonchalantly replied, “I have a hard enough time with
my own responsibilities, Voipele. I don’t think a sky world would have much use
for me.”
Jolán turned inward towards Voipele, and she thanked him for
allowing her to pet his bird. She then walked away.
As Jolán walked by the water fountains, she started to see
the fountain water turn brown, and then she watched the water turn to black.
The dancing winged performers began to slow down, and then freeze in motion.
Once the performers were completely frozen, they solidified into a concrete
like substance. The once colorful rose petals were now all gray and dry, and
they lacked color and vibrancy.
Jolán heard her brother’s voice in the distance, so she
immediately began running towards his sound. As she ran, she felt her heart
beat; and she heard screams and voices calling her name. Jolán ran faster to
get to her brother, but she couldn’t see him, and she couldn’t hear him
anymore. All Jolán could hear were the sounds of pain, and the sounds of awful
screams.

Excerpt
Hadrian arrived in England, and he was already annoyed.
Akuji was supposed to pick him up from the airport, but she cancelled at the
last minute due to car trouble. Hadrian quickly had the airport reserve a town
car to escort him to the hotel. Once he arrived at his hotel, he could then
order a car for his own personal use.
When the town car arrived, Hadrian walked towards the curb.
He mumbled to himself, “I hate heartbeats.”
He then removed two small silicone ear wicks from his ears,
and he replaced them with another pair; the ear wicks eliminated pulsations,
and this helped Hadrian deal with people who were not hunters.
When the driver walked over to the curb, Hadrian noticed she
was an overweight pregnant woman with an attitude. He thought, “I could kill
her if she gave me the slightest reason.”
The driver looked at Hadrian; she then said with contempt in
her voice, “Do you have baggage? I’m pregnant and I’m not picking up no
luggage. Screw that, you can call another car if it’s a problem.”
Hadrian wanted to bite her face off, but he knew he had an
Order to follow, and random killing was not the protocol of the Order. Unless,
he thought, if he got her to make him a deal; then, he could at least turn her
into a hunter and then hope she screwed up, so then he could bite her face off.
Hadrian released a sinister half-smile at his thoughts; and
the driver felt uneasy and inquired, “Is it a problem?”
Hadrian looked at her and annoyingly replied, “I only have
my carry-on. Now, open my damn door and take me to the Haveat Hotel.”
His voice was calm and steady. The woman looked slightly
nervous, and her attitude changed from surly to submissive. The driver
immediately opened the car door, she waited for Hadrian to take his seat, and
then she shut the door and hurried around the car to the driver’s side. Once
she was in the car, she nervously drove towards the hotel. She already wanted
her trip over. Hadrian gave her the creeps.
