EXCERPT
Chapter 12: When Bones Rise.
Sunlight warmed my body and the briny sea air prickled my nose. A calling dragged at my breastbone. It turned me down a narrow alley banked by condos of red brick and cream trim. I sprinted down the alleyway, afraid to lose the scent. The buildings caging me in were barren and hollow, strange for this part of town. There were no signs of life in the shaded windows or empty balconies.
That was
when I saw her. Her russet eyes met mine, large as a hunted doe, corneas
clouded by death. Time slowed and my body went numb. Ringlets formed a halo
around her tawny face. Her body was bloody and bare as Lilith driven from Eden.
“Clara?”
Startling,
she ran for the building at the end of the alley. Dark coils floated after her
like mist on the water.
“Clara!
Wait!”
She was fast
for a dead woman. Clara threw open the front door and bolted inside. I raced
after her, tripping over a chair she knocked into my path. My knees hit the
ground hard.
She was gone
in the time it took me to stand.
I drew my
weapon, inching into the unlit condo. The place was a wreck. Curtains and
newspaper blocked the summer sun from entering through the arched windows. The
furniture looked like it’d been thrown around by a tornado. It smelled like
blood and piss.
What the
fuck had happened in here? And how had nobody noticed?
I tried to
move silently but even my soft steps were audible on the hardwood flooring. I
was in the neglected kitchen, dust and dried blood covering the granite
counters, when I heard a creaking floorboard overhead. My head tilted toward
the ceiling and I heard it again. I turned back into the entryway, making my
way upstairs.
The second
floor had fared no better than the rest of the condo. Blood was smeared across
the walls and one of the bedroom doors had been torn off the hinges. Splinters
of wood jutted out of the doorframe. I crept toward the master, training my
weapon on the door.
After a
brief internal debate, I called out to her again. “Clara! I just want to talk.”
The door
screeched open and, against my better judgment, I shouldered my way into the
room.
The state of
the bedroom shocked me to stillness.
When she's not writing, Jo enjoys baking, drawing, and watching trashy reality TV. She makes her home somewhere in the contiguous United States with her husband, one fluffy cat, and one barely domesticated cat.
