Excerpt
“We are being led in a circle,” Jack
complained.
“Grow up and shut up.” Aine responded.
Our current hotel was run by a friend of
Kyle’s. I soon found out, this willowy stranger was his ex-fiancée, and her
husband, his best friend.
Sophie defined gorgeous, with long lengths
of red hair and the softest blue eyes I have ever seen. Comfortable and nonchalant,
Kyle introduced us as archeologists searching for lost relics of the Gods.
Later, in our rooms, I fumed.
“Why did you nearly tell her the whole
truth?”
“Sophie knows the location of three
statues. She will show you.”
“Yeah…right…”
Kyle’s laughter barked like a dog. “You’re
jealous. I can’t believe it. She’s married, for crying out loud.”
“I am not jealous, and even if I were, what
does it matter? So there really is nothing to be jealous about.” As I stomped
to the lobby, I knew what a windstorm felt like. The beautiful rooms around me
did not lighten my mood, even with their scattered paintings of our enchanted
island and how man thought Fay looked.
The
ears are wrong…
Home. It called me. Each moment harder than
the last. Each minute pulling at me. Being with Kyle was magical and
gratifying, our days spent looking for artifacts, and the nights, a sweet
torment. We lived for the temptation of fulfilling our fantasies, but the pull
of home never left me.
Lying in bed that evening, I wondered how
Father fared.
Was he being forced to consummate his
marriage, or did the Elders get what they wanted and now left him alone?
I awoke standing in the throne room, my
Father in front of me weeping. An ethereal breeze lifted strands of my hair as
I looked around the expansive room. No one else was there. Slipping silently to
his side, I laid my hand on his quaking shoulder. “Father, why do you cry so?”
Homesickness can be hard. I feel for Aine, but she needs to accept her world has changed for the time being. Should be an interesting journey.
ReplyDeleteAine definitely has her own set of troubles... In this scene Shayla is the one feeling the loss of home but has she already found the meaning of it or is she still searching?
DeleteWhy does he cry? That caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteEven Kings cry... the answer as to why he is crying is found in the next few lines of the book. :)
DeleteThat last line was great. Do the tears have anything to do with consummating his marriage?
ReplyDeleteHi Ed,
DeleteThank you for your compliment... He is crying over something much more painful.
