Another Note from the Author

Next up is Eli’s Destiny. As the title suggests, this story focuses around Levi’s twin, Eli. I tried third person narrative but in the end decided to go back to my favorite first person narrative. This seems to suit me better. I switched POV periodically throughout the story. I hope you enjoy it.

Eli’s Destiny

Chapter One

Shae

I bounded through the forest as fast as my shaky legs would take me, praying to God that I wouldn’t smash headfirst into any trees. But that would be far better than what my imagination believed was about to happen to me. Suddenly, I heard it again, a howl that told my brain I was possibly about to be eaten! It was closer this time and my legs grew a mind of their own as they ran faster than they ever had before, carrying me through the forest in record speed.

I should’ve known not to trust Karen and Darcy when they convinced me that this was a good idea. Coming to the clearing on the night of a full moon is nothing short of stupid no matter how you sell it, and they sold it to me pretty good. Everybody knows odd things go on in these woods during a full moon. They told me that Sara, my best friend, had been tricked and left here without a cell phone or any way to get home. They convinced me to come with them to get her, only to find that it was I who was tricked and left behind. They’ve always had it in for me, but this time they’d gone too far. How dare they leave me out here to die in the forest, eaten by some wild animal, or worse.

I couldn’t die here—not like this. I at least needed an opportunity to get back at them.

I stumbled and tripped, landing on my knees with a thud. I didn’t stay down for long, as I quickly jumped back to my feet and began running again. The howling came again, but this time from more than one source. My heart was beating so fast I thought at any minute it would burst in my chest and that would be the end for me. I didn’t even know where I was going. All I knew is that if I stopped, whatever it was that was behind me would catch me, and that was sure to be a bad thing.

Suddenly, everything quieted, and I froze, pressing my back against a tree and listening. My breathing was coming too fast, but there was nothing I could do to slow it. Then I saw a blurred motion. Something dark approached and stood directly in front of me. I could feel its presence, just inches from my face. I cringed, terrified to look up, but more afraid not to. There was no mistaking its breath on my face. Thoughts were rushing through my mind too fast and none of them made much sense. I slowly looked up and gasped.
