The Wolfprism Chronicles: Excerpts

The shimmering hot grains of sand stung against my face as I fell to the ground. I wasn't going anywhere near sand once I got out of here, wherever here was.

  I had left camp. It felt like a piece of me was missing. Somewhere in my mind, I wanted to go back. Back to where I started anew. Alas my inner demons caught up with me and I'm result, the camps, yes both of them, mostly despised me. I had no influence and no voice. I was an outsider once again.    I still remembered Jason's unbelievable eyes as I turned and walked out of his life. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Part of the reason I had left was to protect the camp. They didn't see it that way though and now what I've done can't be undone.  

"You wonder why I hate the Keepers," I growled, standing up shakily on the slope of sand. I turned to meet dark eyes, displaying humor for once. "Stop that," I added.  

Sebastian rolled his eyes from where he rested, sharpening his sword. We were in the wrong place, wrong time; Now I was actually stuck with him in an unknown barren realm.  

Sweat tricked down the side of my head from the dire heat. "You shouldn't have rebelled in the first place, love." He smirked as my jaw tightened at the endearment he reserved for me. His Everdeen accent was still heavy, drawing out the soft ends of "a"s.  

"Don't you dare," I gestured angrily until I trailed off. He had a point. Oh damn him to hell.  

Sebastian chuckled softly and stood, taking a few steps closer to where I had sat down. Instantly, my body tensed. Whatever I did, I wouldn't let that Son of Lust touch me. Who knows what he would make me do once his persuasive spell was upon me.  

"Something tells me that we are going to be here a long time love." He knelt onto one knee, daring to bend closer. "We might as well..." He trailed off with a smirk, knowing that I would think way worse then what he was probably going to say.   

"I wouldn't if you were the last person in all the realms." I felt my heart race and whether he was tuning in or not, both of us knew I was completely lying.  

Sebastian was my true soulmate and feeling his soul connecting with mine, I knew we both felt powerful and right. When you get that feeling, nobody else can have it with you. With Jason, my soul was starting to actually mold itself with his till we had to break it. Another reason I had to leave camp.   Sebastian's eyes grew dark with anger and he pulled away, standing up and redrawing his sword. "We need to locate shelter. Like any ordinary desert, this one will grow cold." He started down the slope, not looking back at me to see if I was following. What choice did I have though? Fixing my sword sheath, I stood and became his shadow, following him in the burning sun.

This was hard for me to write because with my previous visit to the camps, it gave me an idea that not everything I had there will always be the same and that I had to move on.
