Excerpt;
Between
by Karen Y. Bynum:
God,
what had Lucy done? She rubbed the butterfly charm at her throat. She
should never have ignored Natasha’s calls. If Lucy had just sucked
it up and broken up with her, Natasha wouldn’t have shown up at
Gaston. And Lucy wouldn’t have belittled her in front of the
Royals. Her stomach churned, and she clutched the charm. Natasha’s
grandmother had given it to her, and she hadn’t ever taken it
off—until the day she gave it to Lucy. She swallowed her own shame
and ripped the chain from her neck. She couldn’t look at it
anymore. Couldn’t stand to feel its guilt weighing her down.
“I
wish I could just forget you!” She threw the necklace into the
abyss of the closet. Holding herself, she wept with her head pressed
back against the wall. Slow, gasping tears quickly turned into sobs
so gut-wrenching they made her teeth hurt.
“You
can’t wish to forget.”
She
froze mid-sniff. The blood must have drained from her face because
her tears scorched as they rolled down her icy cheeks. A shadow moved
in her peripheral vision.
Slowly,
she lifted her head. Gasping, she pressed her hands to the floor,
ready to jump up and haul ass. But in car-wreck fashion, she couldn’t
look away. Fire floated in front of her. Her heart pounded painfully
against her ribs. Was the house burning down? Surely not. The flames
didn’t seem to be spreading. Instead, they drew down, drew together
until they had a distinctly human shape. And eyes. Oh, God, the eyes.
They glowed a frightening green, dark and bright at the same time.
This
was just like every horror movie Lucy had ever seen. Her time had
come. Either this thing would drag her to Hell or she’d be acting
out The Exorcist any second. She wiped away a streak of tears.
Forcing
herself to stand, to acknowledge what she’d done, she said, “This
is about Natasha. Isn’t it?”
The
figure didn’t move forward. It just lowered its arms, smaller
flames sparking away from the movement. Why didn’t the closet catch
fire?
“I’m
here,” it said, “to grant you three wishes.
