Last week, we left off with Ravyn having some horrible visions...as a Mara (nightmare) has latched onto her hand. We continue with the visions that she's seeing...
Then
her father’s head blossomed into view, staring at her from the top of a pike. The image shifted to little Kes burning on a pyre. She heard screaming, painful tortured squeals--It took her a moment to realize they were her
own. “I gave you a gift,” she gasped,
“You have to take it and go!”
“No,”
it spat, “Sshe told uss, we can have you forever.”
“You
took the coin, you have to leave us," she grunted. "You
have to follow the rules!”
It
grinned again, razor sharp teeth glinting in the firelight, “The Darkness doesn’t give a damn about your pitiful ruless.”
Oh crap, this wasn't very eastery...sorry. I hope your day is fantastic, and filled with chocolate, and family, and chocolate, and love, and oh yeah, don't forget the chocolate : ) I heard the Easter Bunny poops chocolate...I'm gonna go hunt him down!
NICE! (And by that, of course, I mean jarring, scary, vivid and memorable. ;D)
ReplyDeleteOh wahoo! Thanks!
DeleteOh, wow! This is getting darker and darker. I wonder what Ravyn is going to do now. Loved that last sentence, by the way. Great snippet! Hope you managed to have some chocolate ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, you know the Darkness doesn't care for rules, but I did hear they have cookies : )
DeleteMillie, I love your weekly intro bits. Your creativity has no bounds! If that's true about the Easter Bunny, let me know cuz my bunny sure doesn't poop *chocolate* !
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpt, even with the unEastery tone. Yup, the Dark doesn't follow anybody's rules, maybe not even its own! Hope you pick up from here next week.
Will do...I'm not so mean as to leave you all hanging : )
DeleteThis sure is going down a dark path. I felt that inner turmoil. The voice of her thoughts was kinda creepy. Nice 8!
ReplyDeleteThose nightmare's have the ability to kill you with their visions!
DeleteWow, grim imagery there! Effective excerpt, however...stays in the mind's eye all right.
ReplyDeleteThere cannot be Light without Darkness...
DeleteDefinitely NOT a bedtime story. Very dark visions and scary dialogue. Well done.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty frightening...we'll have to wait till next week to see if this lightens up at all.
DeleteI love the last line. And no, it's not very eastery, but one can only take so many pastel bunnies and tulips and such. Very nice snippet!
ReplyDeleteThank you. If all the fluff gets you down, have some peep wars in the microwave : )
DeleteArgh! Bad situation to be in! Dark and exciting, really good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gemma : )
DeleteI hope His Nibs can do something.
ReplyDeleteBaa...to the rescue?
DeleteLove the last line! Kind of an "Oops, now what?" moment :)
ReplyDeleteYes, what indeed?
DeleteThat last line is a zinger, Millie! This story is taking a dark turn. She's tough. She can handle it. And I pity the soul she goes after when it's time to give them what they deserve. Good snippet, Millie!
ReplyDeleteThe Easter Bunny poops chocolate? My granddaughter came in today and proudly roclaimed that the Easter Bunny pooped jelly-beans on their kitchen floor... lol.
Hope your day was wonderful--and involved lots of chocolate. :-)
So...many...desserts. Must be rolled around the house like a weebly wobbly egg. Happy Easter!
DeleteWhat a turn, Millie. I shivered with fright; so many dark twists and turns after the funny His Nibs. Save us, please.
ReplyDeleteThere may be a bubbly ray of sunshine in the future...maybe : )
DeleteGrim and scary, sent shivers down my spine. Very riveting.
ReplyDeleteHope your Easter Sunday was as sweet as this snippet was dark, umm, does the bunny poop dark chocolate?
Dark chocolate most definitely!!!!
DeleteWow. So intense!! Holy cow. Great 8.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you! I'm glad this is working so well!
Deletewow, what a tense, cringing snippet, now I can't wait until Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you so much, glad it's having this effect on people. Hope we can find the Light again soon : )
DeleteThat is so scary, I don't like that Darkness.
ReplyDeleteOoo! Wonderful description. Very vivid!
