Welcome to a new excerpt of DEMON SOUL for the Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday.
Pre-Plot:
Brownie is a normal girl, or so she thinks. She likes to chat with her
sisters about random things, she likes fashion and she is member of the
fashion club at school. But one day, as her little brother gets really
sick because of a curse placed on him, she meets this really strange guy
who cures him absorbing the baby's sickness within himself. As he is
about to fall from his new acquired fever, Brownie sees Yue's soul and
immediately falls in love with him. But Yue is not a human, Yue is a
demon.
Brownie and Yue will built their love story until....
Plot:
Until Yue's soul is stolen. There is nothing left of their love. The
purple light dancing in Yue's grey eyes is gone. Forever? Not quite.
Brownie is desperate to find it back. And to get a soul stolen by
demons, she needs to go deep into dark magic! But Brownie is not a
witch, she is just looking for a spell powerful enough to bring her love
back. When an amateur starts playing with strong magic without
preparation and without caring for the consequences, things turn
wrong...
He looked very proud of
himself but for a second the only thing Brownie saw was the beautiful
purple light dancing in his grey eyes. As he stroked Ayokunle's back
however, the cry of the baby took her away from her dream.
"What do you think
you're doing?"
She took Ayokunle away
from him and cradled him sighing. It had taken her hours to make him
fall asleep and now he was crying and she had to soothe him all over
again.
"I can cure him,"
Yue said again full of confidence.
"Oh, really? He is
cursed. There is nothing you can do. Have you ever seen wings grow?"

Ah, some nice conflict front and center. I like where this is going. Good snippet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful eyes and promises - teasing!
ReplyDeleteShe has less confidence in him than he has in himself.
ReplyDeleteI like the dissonance between her belief in curses and growing wings, and her disbelief that they can be cured!
ReplyDeleteGood conflict. Makes me want to read more.
ReplyDeleteBrownie is going to be seeing a lot of strange things soon enough, it seems. I like how you have demons be more than what is often portrayed in mythology...
ReplyDeleteGreat scene. Makes me want to know more.
ReplyDeleteLove your book cover.
I hope Yue can cure him. Great snippet.
