Hello everyone !
Welcome to Week-end Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday.
Here are my 8 sentences, we start just where we left of (aka: Seti realised that Kallisto might like him).
It made him really happy, but at the same time, she was supposed to get married to that horrible Kordelius or to Kelpie. He wasn’t sure who was worse. For a second, he thought about running away with her before her deadline. She would escape her wedding and he would escape his parents and the Demon World, but it wasn’t a very good idea. The demons would pursue him anywhere and the fairies would probably pursue her too, not even talking about Kelpie who could surely appear anywhere near a drop of water. His worse problem was still himself, he knew he couldn’t be near her, it was too risky. He rolled on the ground and looked at the sky, wishing for a shooting star to appear.
“My dear Seti, you are being an idiot again,” he said out loud.
And here are few sentences more to reach the end of the chapter if you want to.
“First, it’s not the shooting stars season yet. Second, they probably can’t grant wishes anyway. Third, even if they could, they probably wouldn’t do it for you. Fourth, you were lucky enough today for a whole month.”
He smiled and jumped on his feet before throwing a last look at the water.
“Lucky enough for a whole life,” he said flying away in direction of his house.
Well Seti maybe not, maybe not...

I love him talking to himself. (And the extra lines were heartbreaking.)
ReplyDeleteHe's so in love with her. I want them to be together. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteThis scene is very realistic, I enjoyed his angst.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gem. It's a great snippet. I do have to pull on the moderator hat and request that you please stick to 8 sentences. I know you were trying to wrap up the chapter and I truly appreciate that you let readers know there was a 2nd snippet, but we don't want it to become a habit. Have a wonderful day and keep up the great writing!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I'm glad he actually thought a bit about running away with her...that's maybe a step in the right direction. For your french to english translation...I think you mean shooting star instead of shouting, and grant wishes instead of grand : )
ReplyDeleteOh the angst and love shining through your snippet. Good writing, Linda.
ReplyDeleteVery nice snippet. So many interesting obstacles to overcome. I hope they do.
ReplyDeleteHope there was no one in hearing while he was talking aloud to himself.
ReplyDeleteI want them to be together too! Another excellent snippet. Poor Seti.
ReplyDeleteTalking to himself was a nice touch. Good excerpt.
ReplyDeleteLove the angst. Poor guy!
