Hello! Here is another excerpt from The McCory Chronicles: Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth ~ This one sends shivers down my spine....
The group huddled
closer together. All of their inner spirits were warning them that danger was
unavoidable. None of them had noticed a dark shadow which had been following
them since the tunnel opening. It had slithered on the walls and ceiling, hidden
in the cracks and corners, and now crept behind them on the dusty floor,
blending in with their own shadows. Slowly, it crept under their feet. It
reached Katie and started up her leg but sensing The Dagger of Justice in her
robe, it dove deep into the ground. It surfaced again under Ariel and smiled to
itself. Yes, this one would do, it thought. The dark being slowly reached up
and grabbed Ariel’s heart. Ariel gasped and fell to the ground.
“Ariel!”
cried Katie, falling to her knees beside her friend. “What’s wrong?”
Ariel
couldn’t speak. Her hands were as cold as ice, and her skin was starting to
turn gray. She clutched her chest holding Omar’s feather in her hand. Her eyes
were vacant, lifeless. She stared into the darkness in some kind of trance.
