Excerpt:
My stomach flip-flopped
when Walker stopped moving. He sat the box on the desk, took the paper in his
hands and started to unroll it. He was doing it ever so carefully and slowly,
like he had done this ritual a thousand times before. I knew he wanted us to
stop him; to tell him that we changed our minds and we didn't want to know the
deep dark secrets the simple piece of paper held. Hell, maybe we should have
stopped him. I was kind of hoping one of the two other people in the room with
me would stop him but that didn't happen. When none of us spoke, Walker cleared
his throat and prepared to read. It was so hard to keep quiet. I didn't want to
know. I was holding my breath and didn't even realize it.
“Cat, breathe! Darien whispered in my ear
and when I didn't respond right away, Kira Grabbed my hand. Just her touch made
me expel the oxygen that I was holding in. Darien gave her a warning look that
told her not to touch me again.
Kira looked right at him. “Fine, lover
boy. Next time I will just let her pass out. Would that better than me touching
her?” I was in trouble because their arguing wasn't even fazing me.
What Walker was doing had my full attention and their
little tug of war was going to have to wait. It was like seeing a car wreck
coming. You knew that you were looking at something that you really didn't want
to see, but you still couldn't help staring. I sat there shaking. Darien calmed
me as much as he could; using his thumb to draw sensual circles in my palm and
it was helping. The fact that he knew enough to calm me made my heart flutter.
I squeezed his hand as tightly as I could and sat and listened to the voice of
the man that used to be my father, who was about to read something that might
tell me if my fate was set in stone. I closed my eyes and listened as Walker
read.
A Child will be born
when the end is near
To pass from light to
darkness, with nothing to fear
Her looks will be
perfect, her eyes burn right
With the help of two
others she will stand up and fight
To save the world, it
will take three
Two with dark hearts
and One worlds can see
Enemies to start with,
next joined by fate
The three must be one
before it’s too late
The child that is born
brings a searing light
As she drops every
enemy within her sight
One promises coolness,
a calming retreat
The other, the heat her
soul needs to compete
The light will come
first, her own life to save
For the other two
power, when tense times turn grave
A flaming Black rose
will show them the way
Each dark petal marking
another dark day
A war like this planet
cannot comprehend
The loudest explosion,
a horrific end
One must now perish,
for two then to win
Destroy them the father
and peace reigns again
Walker ended with a
frown. He was still not happy with us for demanding the truth. No one said
anything for what seemed an eternity. I couldn’t speak. I had forgotten how to.
“Walker that could be about anyone and
you know it.” Darien was talking but it seemed as if he spoke from a million
miles away.
“I think Walker is right,” said Kira. From
what he told me about the tests that have been run on Cat and how she saved you
three, I think he is right.” Kira's voice seemed to come from even farther away
than Darien's had. They all had gotten up and moved and I hadn't even noticed
it. Was I going to pass out?

Information:
I am a mother to three
beautiful children, they keep me busy. I live in a small town that’s filled
with monsters and really nice people alike. I love taking walks around the
mountain trails where I live and I love taking trips to the Ocean, especially
the South Carolina beaches. The ocean brings me tranquility and refreshes me,
but I don’t get to go there often enough. Some mornings I listen to nothing but
sad country songs for hours but when I write, I usually buckle down with my
headphones and listen to something raw and angry like Seether,
and Stone Sour. I can be shy
around people but I’m mostly always honest within myself. In many ways, on many
levels, I express different parts of myself through my characters. Someone told
me once that you are only as old as you feel
and I love that! In fact, I love that idea because personally, have no
intentions of ever growing up! I want to
be 18 forever no matter what they do to me. LOL!
