Kyra’s Ruin
How did I get into this mess—again? This douchebag is just like Dad.
I recoiled from Darnell’s atrocious kiss and gagged a little at the lingering taste of cheeseburger chunks. The fast-food bags littering his old car floor stuck to my boot and a rotten smell drifted up, viciously attacking me from all angles.
Grabbing my purse first, I quickly bolted into the warm night, then slammed the rusty car door shut. How Darnell even owned one of those ancient gas-fueled vehicles was beyond me. I didn’t think there were any left. He did always seem interested in vintage crap.

Jadox’s Spell
The strong smell of horses wafted through the autumn breeze. Bark scratched through my thin shirt as I shifted my back against the oak tree. When Isaac Nilson nodded and started walking through the yard, I straightened my posture and casually hovered my hand near the knife by my waist. Hopefully his extra two inches of height and broad shoulders wouldn’t give him too much of an advantage over my military background. But I had heard legends of this creep’s strength and I refused to be caught off guard.
