Aurath: The Eight
Tueday's biology lesson runs the same as ever; Chaya is dozing off, Isobel is writing twelve pages of notes and Abby is ignoring her ex-boyfriend making out with the school slut. Then the lesson becomes not so normal.
The class is attacked by bikers. Bikers with green scales for skin and six inch pointed ears. Bikers who leap twelve feet across the room in a single bound. Bikers covered in fur with long snouts.
And that's only the beginning of the weirdness.
Chaya fights them. She rips the locked door from the frame. She moves objects with her mind.
But that's ok because the next day no one can remember exactly what happened. It was just a prank by some kids, right?
Only that's not the end of it. Jason goes missing. Lee and Melissa too. Before anyone realises, the whole biology class is gone. They're being held hostage by demons. Yep demons. Demons that want Chaya.
With her weapons ready, Chaya goes on a rescue mission.
It's not the demons that worry her though, it's the person they're working for.
The Eight is...
...finished, at least the draft version. After rewriting the entire second half of it, I have finally completed the first edit. I'm now one chapter in on my second edit where I am piercing all of TE together from the bits I have all over my laptop and in hard copy.
After this round of editing, I'm going to send it to friends and family plus some critiquing websites to get feedback. Finally, a third edit then a break to get some space, and a final fourth editing/polishing and I might dare to send it out. Eek!
When I've completed those edits and am taking a break before polishing it, I'm going to go back and finish the last few thousand words of Witch Choice.
