Seraphina
Cross is unexpectedly thrown into this crazy, spiritual world of
Angels versus Demons. Never did she expect to meet Nate who was just
a figment of her imagination until last week. Now she finds herself
moving in with him because of her innate responsibility to protect
her loved ones from harm.
Finally
beginning to feel at home in her new house and with her new

way to attack her at her most vulnerable.
When
her dreams are no longer a gift, can Sera control the powers needed
to defeat what's coming before Lucifer fulfills his promise to her?
Excerpt;
I’m walking along the
long cliff in my
new backyard, enjoying the
gorgeous scenery. I’m basking
in the sun, breathing
in the fresh outdoor
air, and feeling the
wind whip my hair
around my face. I
look back at my new
home behind me and sigh
as my mind automatically
thinks of Nate. I
lie down in the
grass, feeling the wind
whipping around my hair and
the grass grazing my
legs ever so slightly.
Again I let my
mind wander to thoughts of
wondering if I ever
would have moved out
of my parent’s house
had it not been
for Nate. What would
my life have been
like? Would I have
stayed at the office
until retirement in quiet
misery? Breaking me out
of my moment I
think I hear someone
shouting my name. I
look around, but I’m
alone here in my
new backyard. Where is
that noise coming from?
I shrug my shoulders
and try to continue
my thought processes, but
a part of me is
still on alert. There
it is again, my
name, Sera! I finally
climb to my feet
and look through the glass
wall of our house.
Nate isn’t there. I
must be imagining things.
Maybe my senses are
just extra sensitive today.
I begin to walk
along the cliff and
I hear it a little
louder now. Sera! I
glance out over the
cliff and the winding
river below that continues
far into the distance.
SERA! Finally my eyes
lock on something in
the river below, Nate.
What
I’m not expecting is
the hand that’s holding
his head under water
is big, clawed, and belongs
to none other than
Gabe. Gabe, the hunk
from the office that
tried to kill me only
a few short days
ago. His eyes are
no longer green, they
are all black and
staring straight up at
me like he’s tempting
me to do something
about it. He lifts
Nate’s head back up as
he tries to catch
his breath while gulping
down chunks of water.
Nate’s arms are flailing
around trying to grab
onto something to defend
himself, no to avail.
“Sera!” he sputters out
before Gabe shoves his
head back down into
the water. This time
I know he’s not
going to let him
back up for air.
He will kill him.
There is no time,
no thinking, Nate needs me.
I extend my arms
out like a bird’s
wings, somewhere inside me
I feel like I can
fly. I dive off
the cliff to help
Nate. I open my
eyes to see, it’s
working! I have wings, big
white glorious wings and…
I’m flying! I think
excitedly as my eyes
lock on Gabe’s dark
ones only instead of
the fear I expect
to see, he laughs
at me. A strange,
haunting laugh like he
wanted this to happen.
I land on the
ground hard before my eyes fly open. Nate is on top of me screaming
words my mind can’t quite make out yet. I glance around in shock,
I’m outside in the grass by the cliff. Stars are sparkling above me
and in a stupor of confusion my mind is trying to make out what Nate
is yelling.
“Sera! What were
you doing? Tell me what was that?” his hands are shaking in anger.
“What?” I
don’t seem to understand, “What happened?” I ask shaking my
head as I begin to sit up.
“What do you
mean? You were about to jump off the cliff!” he yells putting his
hands on his head and paces back and forth in front of me.
“But, I was dreaming…” I try putting my thoughts together.
“Sera,
I heard you walking past my office so I followed you out here and you
were about to jump! I dived at you at the last minute and
caught you just in time!” He states angrily waiting for an
explanation.
I’m so confused.
“I was dreaming you were in the river and I needed to save you, I
was flying down to save you…it was a dream, at least I
thought it was…” I rub my forehead.
