Excerpts IV

Changespell Legacy

Whoa..!       With the trail juncture in sight and full of milling horses, Dun Lady's Jess broke into a startled canter. "O-oh no," Arlen said, his teeth clicking as he bounced; he yanked on her mane, the only thing at hand. "Whoa!"       And then Lady caught wind of others in the woods around them, closing on them. With the sudden downwind rustle of brush, a figure emerged from camouflage of leaves and dull brush almost at her feet.       "Whoa!" Arlen cried again, completely unaware of those others, clenching her barrel with his long legs and hauling on her mane. Metal slashed at them, gleamed dully along an astonishingly long blade--and quite abruptly Lady did just as she'd been told, tucking her butt and dropping her head so Arlen flew neatly over her withers, rolling onward and out of reach. The blade flashed down to score her shoulder and she kicked out wildly. Ramble screamed, a stallion's challenge, and knocked her aside, knocked her down--       She wrenched herself away, trying to avoid Arlen's sprawling figure, well aware that more agents converged upon them.       Armed men and women, ready to turn the hunt into a kill. ©2002 Doranna Durgin Download Chapter One of Changespell Legacy    | TOP |

ANGEL: Impressions

Wesley turned on him, no longer restraining his anger. "Are you trying to turn every possible clue into goo? What on earth is the matter with you?" "I was trying to stop him, not kill him," Angel said, emotion thrumming against his soul like the heartbeat he no longer had. Once released, it didn't ease...didn't ebb into the night as it should have. No respite here. Gunn ran to where the demon had been, grabbing up the ax. "Doesn't look like you did either. If this particular demon had one of those odd stone things, it doesn't have one anymore." "That's what his companion was after?" Wesley asked. "If it had to be after anything at all--besides us," Angel said, and shrugged, so much more casual on the outside than on the in. "Well, we can't ask him, can we?" Wesley said. "We can't ask either of them." Angel stopped, blocking Wesley's path. "Let it go, Wesley," he said softly. Dangerously. Download Chapter One of Angel: Impressions | TOP |
