Book One of the Eximius Series: The Animal Inside * * * * * Suddenly a strong arm grabbed me. I screamed. A hand covered my mouth. "Now, now, now. What's with all the fighting?" said a voice from behind me. The shadows stopped in their tracks. Everyone else froze, looking at me and the person that held me. I realized it was the Shadow Master. "Stop the fighting or I kill her." He held out his hand. A shadowy haze floated around his hand. It was there for a moment, then it disappeared, leaving a dagger in his hand. The dagger had a clean, sharp blade. The handle was as black as the shadows he commanded. He held the dagger to my neck. I could feel the cold blade against my skin. It seemed so close that it would cut me if I even swallowed. "Try to free her and she's dead in an instant. I don't think you want an innocent person's blood on your hands." * * * * * Kefira thought she was just a normal teenager. Little did she know. Kefira is part of a few select members of society born with Powers. People with Powers are trained and go onto become Super Heroes, or Super Villains. Kefira must learn to master her abilities, and to get along with the strange voice that talks to her in her mind. Along the way, she meets many interesting people, some nice and some...well, less so. But when a Super Villain comes along, and shows her not all is as it seems, and her new-found friends are keeping something from her, Kefira starts to wonder if everything has been led to believe is true. What can she do? Who can she trust? Can she master the animal inside?

Before the Hotel: Book 1

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.
