Family Contention - Excerpt 17 - Flying Sparks - A Novel – The Consequences


Drake McCarty’s leg was shattered deep in the wilderness, and as the flash flood closed over him, he looked death in the face.
When he wakes up in a hospital bed, in a military base that shouldn’t exist, he has a whole leg and a furious sister to deal with.
Drake is sworn to keep a secret he doesn’t understand, but whatever pulled him out of the flood, isn’t quite done with him yet, because even if you leave nothing but footprints, the things that walk the forest can still follow you home.


Excerpt 17


“You had baked camembert without me!” the shriek echoed through the large room, bouncing off the barn rafters and circling around the mighty trunk column.
Ama stared down at Em in bemusement and Drake groaned and leaned back in his chair.
“That is so unfair! I have been living here in this back water sinkhole for ages and ages without even one decent sushi joint for a hundred miles in any direction and this idiot wanders off into the forest and has us all worried sick for days on end and ends up getting a first class meal off of some hospital in the middle of nowhere! You could have at least saved some for me you selfish-“
“It was hospital food! I was not like I had any choice in the matter,” Drake cut in furious. “Here! You can have this if you want my food so bad!” He shoved the wooden bowl at Em who snorted and rolled his eyes.
“Yeah! Like the sauerkraut that I made last year is going to make up for the single most delicious cheese dish to ever come out of France- “
“Emerald Waters Undersun,” the voice cut through the cluttered center area in the large barn and immediately stilled the two boys.
Both knew better than to question that tone of voice. In it they both heard all the long hours Ama had been up worrying and the fire she had put into the search.
