Hey, guys! I know it's been forever, but I'm thinking about starting (yet another) new story! I have a teaser, and I'd like some feedback. The genre is kind of a weird mix between adventure and romance.
Here's the teaser:
Alix looked up from her slate when she heard a knock on the door. She checked her watch as she stood up- what time was it? 11:00 pm, exactly two hours since she had started painting. Who could that be at this time of night? Certainly not her parents, they were on vacation and had left their 16 year old daughter home alone. Besides, if they were home early, they would unlock the door using a key. Right?
"Honey, come open the door for us," came her mom's voice, muffled by the door. "Our hands are full."
Alix quirked up an eyebrow, but didn't argue. She unlocked and opened the door, to see, to her surprise, not her mother, but a man, pulling a cloth out of his pocket and putting a c-battery sized piece of metal into his other pocket.
"Um... Who are you?" Alix asked taking a step back and grabbing the door to slam it shut. Before she could, the mysterious man grabbed the back of her head and forced her face into the cloth. She reeled back, trying to push the man off her.
