Excerpt:
A shadow disengaged from a tree and
moved into the twilight. It was a hooded man in black, one of the three that
were chasing him. In his hand glinted a curved sword. Jack turned to run but froze
when the second hunter approached from the other side of the clearing. He too
held a curved blade. Both men trained on him, stalking him.
"What do you want from
me?" Jack cried out.
Silence filled the forest.
The black clad hunters continued to
advance from both sides through the underbrush. When they came to the grass of
bluebells, they entered without hesitation and raised their swords in unison.
A strange melody danced up from
their knees as they moved to pin him in. Fear blinded Jack's mind as he scooted
to the center of the glade. The taste of bile came up into his mouth. He was
going to die. He knew it.
The hunters tightened their grips on
their swords, ready to strike down, when a silvery point suddenly jutted
through the chest of one of them. His stormy blue eyes bulged in shock as blood
spurted out around the point and poured down his black tunic. A grunt came from
his mouth. His sword fell to the ground as he grabbed the steel point sticking
out of his chest.
Behind him stood the pale-haired
man. In his hand, he gripped the sword that was thrust through the hunter's
chest. With a jerk, he pulled it free, letting the man drop to the ground in a
heap at his feet.
