1/25/2014 0 Comments Book Club #2Today has been another day of writer's block, so to compensate here is another sneak peek of the novel I am working on. This is a flashback segment from chapter two. It's obviously still in need of a lot more revision, I wrote this two years ago so it's a work in progress. "Charlotte?" I squinted up to see a woman sitting across from me. I wanted to say something to her but every inch of my body ached and had a knot in my stomach that grew worse with every second. I was so afraid that I couldn't manage to say anything. Instead I just nodded and tried not to make my body hurt any more than it already was. "My name is Celeste Sauveterre and I’m here because I am your mentor. I know you’re scared and I know none of this makes sense but I need you to know that this place we have brought you to is a safe place. Everyone here wants to help you." Nothing she was saying was making any sense. Was I dreaming? This had to be a nightmare. "Do you understand?" I nodded, but it was a lie. "I'm going to explain this all to you, but I have to warn you, you probably won't believe me at first." I could feel tears filling up in my eyes and flowing on to my cheeks. I kept my attention on the tears as they landed with a splash on the table below me. "Charlotte? Are you listening?" She sounded almost as scared as me. I nodded again. "Charlotte…I’m not quite sure how to say this but," I wanted her to say it, to tell me what I had suspected for a long time. "Charlotte, you aren't human." There. She'd said it. But I still didn't want to believe her. It was impossible. Things like this didn't exist. But then I turned my face to the huge mirror on the wall next to me, a mirror that I knew was a window on the other side, and saw them again. Wings. Hanging limp and sore around my body. Celeste was right. I wasn't human. Thank you for reading, Amanda Lucille Song of the DayFire and Rain by Birdy this is an amazing cover by one of my favorite artists. She is only about 16 years old and plays the piano beautifully
