Paranormal Romance
Nova spent years in a world she didn’t belong, never knowing who or what
she is. Years of questions and confusion, but the time has come for
her to find out who she really is and where she belongs. Does she
have a family that misses her? Have they been looking for her all
along? Are there others like her? What could possibly have happened
to bring her into the human world when she was so young?
she is. Years of questions and confusion, but the time has come for
her to find out who she really is and where she belongs. Does she
have a family that misses her? Have they been looking for her all
along? Are there others like her? What could possibly have happened
to bring her into the human world when she was so young?
The answers to all her questions are out there somewhere, and it’s time
she found them. It won’t be easy, it may even be dangerous, but
it’ll be worth it. Finding her family is only the first step, from
there she will have to piece her life back together as she learns the
differences between who she is and who she was meant to be. What will
happen when she’s thrown into a world she knows nothing about?

As we
continue north, our presence disrupts a cluster of flying
insects. Wings similar to that of a large butterfly, are attached to
small ball like bodies, but the truly unique thing about these insects is their
coloration. As they fly in a shifting formation, their wings change
colors from green, like the plants they were resting on, to purples and pinks,
creating a distorted image of what I think is a bird. Maybe this is
their way of protecting themselves, making them appear larger than they are and
less like prey. The further we go, the more beautiful everything
becomes.
“You have such a goofy smile right now, I wish you could see
yourself.” Iris says with a smile herself.
Laughing
I say, “I guess I’m glad I didn’t bring a mirror then.”
“You just keep smiling because we are going to have fun while we’re
here, and if you’re lucky I might even make you my famous ‘dragon’s breath
stew.’” She says proudly
“Dragon’s breath stew? Um, no offense Iris but you sound
like a stereotypical witch when you say things like that.” I can’t
help but tease her about being a witch. Over the years it has become
kind of a running joke between us, especially since the humans are so
oblivious.
“Haha,” she says, rolling her eyes. “I’ll have you know
it’s a family recipe.”
“A family recipe huh? Well I hope I don’t have any
family recipes that sound like it came out of Halloween movie with a green,
cauldron stirring, broom flying, children eating…”
“We do NOT eat children! And for the last time, we definitely don’t
fly on brooms.” It’s always fun to get her worked up over the
human’s fictional version of her people.
Laughing
I say, “But the cauldrons are real?”
She
mockingly laughs at our banter. “At least we know you won’t have to
sleep in a coffin, and you won’t need a flea collar.”
“And I’m totally fine when the full moon comes
around.” I giggle.
All
joking seems to leave her system and she’s avoiding eye contact as she watches
the ground while she walks. “So…what stereotype are we dealing with?”
I knew
eventually she’d press the issue, but I had grown used to our easy ‘don’t as
don’t tell’ kind of relationship where my lineage is concerned. I had deluded
myself into believing it wasn’t important. Part of me has always
worried that if she knew that I’m a Seeker, she won’t help me or worse she’d
turn me over to the wraith or my keeper. The rational side of me
knows that both fears are entirely unfounded, but in the past, I was unable to
conquer that fear.
“Nova, you gotta let me in. I can’t help if I don’t at
least know who we are looking for.” She tries to hide the slight
tremor in her voice as she quietly says, “you can trust me you know?”
She’s
right, I know I can trust her and the only thing keeping me from telling her
everything, is the fear of putting her in harm’s way. If only she
could understand that I do not mean to hurt her with my silence. Maybe it is
time. Taking a deep breath, “Ok…when we make camp, we’ll talk about it.”
My name is KAE Galla and I've loved writing since before I knew how. I'd
sit with my mom and grandma telling them exactly what I wanted my
story to be, and they would write it down under misshapen scribbles I
tried to pass off as art work. It wasn't until years later that I
finally decided to go full throttle with my passion and share it with
the world. Now, thanks to the support of my loving family, great
friends, and an amazing team, my dream of becoming an author are
reality. My heart is in Paranormal Romance, and Romance in general,
but I love challenging myself and broadening my horizons so you can
bet there is more to come!
