quickly becomes one of the popular girls in school. After over a year
of the good life and Homecoming just days away, Joey is thrown into a
terrifying new reality. Happening across a violent black dog with
glowing red eyes, and a handsome stranger that puts his life on the
line to save her only to stick a gun in her chest moments later. Now
people are dying in Portstown, people close to Joey and she doesn't
understand why. Will Joey have anyone left after she discovers the
truth about her past?

Excerpt 1:
A
violent jerk sent me forward, cutting off the words. Something warm splattered
my face and in my mouth. It tasted...metallic.
Blood!
As
quickly as the fear had left it returned, stunning me with emotional whiplash
and leaving my mind blank. Reality didn’t hit until Marty let out an
ear-piercing scream that sent goosebumps down my arms.
Everything
switched from dull numbness to chaos in a matter of heartbeats. Marty was
screaming in the background, yelling my name—crying out for help with desperate
pleas as I watched Mr. Blaire’s face. He was looking right at me, his body
tense and straining as he grabbed the doorframe. His other hand clasped my
wrist. I tried to pull from him but his grip was too strong, he clung to me
with every inch of survival instinct of a man desperate to live. Blood stained
his purpling lips as he ground his teeth trying to form words, but they only
came out in groans.
Pain
twisted on the young teacher’s face and his body jerked back into the hallway.
I was pulled forward again as Mr. Blaire released the door frame, both of us
being dragged into the darkness.
Excerpt 2:
“It’s my turn… Isn’t it?” I heard a meek, timid voice ask.
It
sounded like... “Ali?” I gasped in a whisper.
Curious,
I cracked the door a little more to get a better view, but there was no one
there. Then Ali came into my line of sight, backing up against the wall a few
feet from where I was hiding. Her every limb was trembling as a shadow crept
across the floor and up the wall till it covered her body, tears leaving
streams down her cheeks.
“This won’t help you… My strength can’t help you,” she yelled at
the person coming toward her. The fear in her voice made the sound of
approaching footsteps all the more chilling.
“You’re playing with fire. You already got burned once and all the
power in the world isn’t going to keep you from being consumed.”
What?
It took
a moment for Ali’s words to click, it sounded as if she knew her attacker. That
she had information about what was happening, maybe not about the black dog
attacks, but it sounded as if she knew who was stealing legacies.
Suddenly
her startled behavior after Jamie’s death made sense. I thought it was because
we lost our friend. People dealt with grief in their own way, but her behavior
was still strange.
Now it
made sense, Ali had our answers.
That
brought my courage to the surface and I readied to jump out of the door to save
her, or at least act as a diversion. That was all I was really good for
anymore. I pushed the door open a little more and Ali’s attention snapped to
me. I stood still, making eye contact with her, and she smiled.
The
fear that gripped her before appeared to vanish, and the steady tremble in her
body stopped as she gave a nod my way. There was a strength about her, one that
comes with acceptance, and I felt my gut twist into tight knots. Without
knowing it I mouthed the word ‘no’, begging her not to give up.
“Go on then,” she said in a firm voice, turning away from me and
back to the shadow person.
“Take my legacy, it won’t save you. I’ve seen it… I’ve seen your
de—”
Ali’s
words cut out as her voice choked, a strangled-like sound coming from her as a
red haze formed from her body. It was like a silhouette of a person, only in a
red mist that hovered in front of her as Ali’s fair skin grew deathly pale. Her
eyes sank into her skull, and her full pink lips dulled to ugly purple. Ali’s
body spasmed and jerked as the life drained from her. Then in a gasp she
breathed her last, and the red form of a person that manifested out of her
figure rushed out of sight. Ali’s body fell to the ground… Dead.
