Violence Happened - Excerpt 24 - Flying Sparks - A Novel – Mistakes Were Made
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 24
“She will be fine,” he assured the still nervous Drake. “Come here and see.”
The creature knelt and held out a hand to the youth. Drake took the proffered help and scrambled up onto the firm living crystal lap. He peered down at Ama’s face intently in the faint flickering light.
“Ah, very sorry,” Bole murmured. “Give me a moment.”
Suddenly the scene brightened. Drake glanced up and blinked, a bright circle had appeared on Bole’s chest shining down on Ama’s sleeping form. The youth reached out and gently shook her shoulder.
“Sis? Ama? Hey wake up-“
A powerful brown hand shot up with a snarl and gripped his throat. Drake struggled for a moment to lose the long fingers from around his neck but his sister released him quickly.
“Four feet genius,” she muttered rubbing her face.
“McCarty? Are you well? Did that attack cause that?” Bole asked worriedly.
Drake snorted and rubbed his neck without taking his eyes off of Ama. At the sound of the giant’s voice her face had obviously cleared and she was now staring up at the rounded human-like features in fascination and awe.
“No, no, house rules state that if we wake her up from any less than four feet away we are responsible for any consequences that occur,” Drake stated wryly. “Ama just wakes up mean.”
“She is a warrior?” Bole asked curiously examining the figure in his arms.
“No, she’s a scientist.”
