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.
