A Human Element
by Donna Galanti
GENRE: Paranormal Suspense
Evil comes in many forms…
One by one, Laura Armstrong’s
friends and adoptive family members are being murdered, and despite her unique
healing powers, she can do nothing to stop it. The savage killer haunts her
dreams, tormenting her with the promise that she is next. Determined to find
the killer, she follows her visions to the site of a crashed meteorite in her
hometown. There, she meets Ben Fieldstone, who seeks answers about his parents’
death the night the meteorite struck. In a race to stop a madman, they unravel
a frightening secret that binds them together. But the killer’s desire to
destroy Laura face-to-face leads to a showdown that puts Laura and Ben’s
emotional relationship and Laura’s pure spirit to the test. With the killer
closing in, Laura discovers her destiny is linked to his, and she has two
choices—redeem him or kill him.
Felix
ran from the cabin toward the trail down. "Come on!"
Ben
followed close behind, panic hitting him. Why did Laura leave? They were here
to help defend her. Damn her! He never should have left her alone.
"Felix,
why didn't you see this happening?"
"I
did."
Ben
grabbed the back of Felix's coat and lunged at him. Felix turned on one heel
and swung his arm out, holding Ben off like a child.
Ben
struggled to break free. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why didn't you
stop her? She's gonna die. I need to protect her."
"This
is the only way, Ben. Trust me."
"She's
the one person I've cared about in a long, long time. Please, don't let her
die."
Felix
released him. "I don't intend to. Now come on."
Felix
turned away and ran fast down the trail. His massive body moved nimble over the
rugged ground. He looked like a giant, dark beast lunging toward its prey. Ben
could only run after him. There was nothing else he could do.
They
hadn't run far when a deafening blast pushed them to the ground. The cabin
exploded behind them in flames. Fire devoured old wood and metal, dancing
upward toward the sky. The heat grabbed at them with fiery intensity. Ben could
feel it burning his face and hands.
"Laura,"
he whispered, stunned by the violence aimed at them. Their enemy was real. And
he was here. Felix and Ben turned and both ran faster down the mountain,
lunging down the trail, grabbing branches to push themselves along.
Felix
had to be right. Please, let Felix be right.
