As I mentioned in my last post, here is a look at a recent work I am currently working on. I have checked for grammar and spelling mistakes many times. I could have missed a few words. But, never know with me.
Anyway, here is my work in progress Prologue
The Dark Faerie Queen Calling Card
No one is safe from her
A familiar melody played over the airwaves, as she parked in her favorite spot near Moon Lake.
Deep in thoughts, she did not notice the thick mist surrounding the lake.
With note in hand, she read it once again:
Drive to our favorite location on the lake.
Your love, Sebass
Snapped…!-Crunch.-! The sounds came from the forest.
A chill hurried over her.
How could she have forgotten!
Her eyes grew in terror.
Dark jaded eyes met hers.
There was no time to run or scream, in one swoop she gone.
Author’s note:
Now in the top part I wanted it to sound mysterious with a bit of fear. I am slipping back into the background.
~~~
Images of distant realms entered his mind, as he glanced into the fire.
“It has begun.” A familiar voice whispered.
~~~
An image of his ex wife stood before him.
Her eyes were hollowed and dull there was no sparkle.
“Keep Emily safe, Sebastian.” She repeated.
From whom must you keep her safe? Another voice asked.
Buzz! His cell phone started vibrating.
His eyes snapped up to see a familiar number.
“Hello… What?”
“Something happened on the lake, Sebastian.”
An icy chill rushed over him.
“I am on my way.”
Darn! What is wrong, now?
~~~
She listened to the vehicles rushed southwards; she knew where they headed.
“It’s done, my lady.” A figure said.
Her sea green eyes met his.
“You did well, my pet.”
“Is there anything else, my Lady?”
His eyes met hers.
“No, you must go before he returns home.”
“Yes, my lady.” With that grim smile, he disappeared.
An evil smirk formed on her expression.
Evette Dumont was one less trouble for them.
Her eyes went towards the distant lake.
“Now, it was the Gatekeeper and Guardians turn.”
Bang! The thunder rang outside.
Do not reckon on it, Sorceress! A stern voice rang.
A chill fell upon her.
Dark clouds created a dragon.
Her heart stopped.
No, it is not possible!
Her eyes met violet eyes.
~~~
At midnight, the search for Evette Dumont was call off. Her vehicle was submerged in the lake.
Sebastian Dumont stood in the spot for a few moments.
There was no way she had driven into the lake.
Where did she go? He would not accept the fact that she had drowned.
The lake would not claim those you love, but others would. A tiny voice whispered.
His sea green eyes narrowed towards the forest.
Something watched him.
Listen and you will hear your people. An eerie voice echoed.
“Sir, we found a note.” An officer said.
His heart skipped a beat.
In his hands was the Dark Faerie Queen calling card.
An eerie feeling rushed over him.
No mortal could see the Dark Faerie’s death wish card. A woman’s voice rang out.
With who was, his ex-wife involved?
“Shaylee has returned, Gatekeeper.” A harsh voice said.
His eyes met a hooded figure at the forest entrance.
Now, we know some of my characters and two villains that will make their appearance again.
When I was writing my prologue page, I wanted it to sound mysterious, chilling and intriguing, which will keep readers guessing.
Note:
Note: The hooded figure was one of my characters in another short story I posted a few years back. It’s going through a major rewrite and title change.
