For four thousand years, creatus have concealed themselves from the humans who hunted them almost to extinction. Unwittingly, one creatus will endanger them all...
This excerpt is from Creatus Book One. If you'd like to read the first three chapters in the series, The Prequel, you can find it here.
“Why did you save me?” she
screamed into the black void, similar to her life. She hadn’t asked him to save her when she was eight years
old.
As always, no one answered her
ridiculous peal, which was probably just as well. Attracting attention in this
part of town wasn’t smart. She clicked the key fob for her Grand Am as she
scanned the street. She barely even remembered driving here after she left the
nightclub.
The problem with drinking too
much, which she did far too often these days, was that as her inhibitions fell,
so did her standards. The man from the bar had been cute, but he’d obviously
wanted something other than money in exchange for a hit. What else should she
expect when she followed a man home whose name she couldn’t even remember.
She hadn’t planned to go home
with a stranger. But when he’d suggested they could get high together, it had
sounded like fun, a chance to escape her nightmares and her empty apartment. A
chance to do anything but feel the pain she endured by her guilt every time she
closed her eyes.
Kris strained to hear the
chirp from her vehicle as she weaved along the sidewalk. Her heels lodged into
the cracks in the concrete, causing her to trip several times. Somerville was
such a dump. She should have used the money from selling her mother’s jewelry
six years ago on eBay and moved to California. Instead, she’d stayed in this frigid,
run-down suburb of Boston. But she knew why she hadn’t. She was afraid if she
left, she’d never see her protector again. A day didn’t go by that she didn’t
get an eerie feeling that someone was watching her.
Out of nowhere, a chill would
travel the length of her spine she’d swear was her Dark Angel’s breath on her
neck. But every time she turned around, no one was there. So instead of
escaping, she’d used the money to buy a P.O.S. car and drugs and started on her
debauched journey. She knew she was better than the life she’d been living, but
every night she found the answers no one offered her at the bottom of a bottle.
The Creatus Series is not your normal paranormal story...it's a realistic twist of the myths you've heard your entire life. Prepare to believe...
Creatus Eidolon is Coming Soon!
