A Life After War
Backstory
Angie
Our reunions are
what I remember the clearest, especially the one in ‘97. We’d been apart for
seven months. My fourteenth birthday had been our goodbye.
I waited with
nervous excitement for him to arrive. Brady had been home for a week, but this
was his first chance to sneak away and I was already in the first our many
meeting places. Had he missed me as much as I had him? Would he still like me?
I’d grown up again while he was away, now a full-bodied teenager with the curse
and everything. I was so worried over his reaction that I didn’t hear the steps
behind me.
“I want to talk
to you!”
Jeanie’s voice
was startlingly loud in the cornfield clearing and I turned awkwardly, ready to
run or fight as needed.
“You listen!”
Jeanie ordered, hands on her slender hips.
“What?” I
snarled. My Brady had kissed this girl, had loved her with his body. I knew now
that he’d been thinking about me, but my jealousy was powerful.
“I want you to
leave him alone.”
The demand made
me furious, but I held my sharp tongue to let her have her say.
“He belongs with
me, not some mutt! Get out of his life or I’ll tell Mother Brady everything.
She’ll put a stop to it right quick.”
It didn’t matter
that Jeanie was right, that I had no claim to him. He was mine.
“No,” I
answered, falling into that dangerous place where the witch helped me handle
the situation. “She can’t get rid of me. Even if we were two planets apart,
Marcus Brady would still be mine.”
Jeanie’s eyes
filled with horrified triumph and I realized too late that she’d tricked me
into confirming it. What would she do?
She’ll
tell,
the witch whispered smugly. Close her
mouth.
Before I knew
it, I was swinging at the senior, attacking without warning like Marc had tried
to teach me. I’d been too scared then, but now, I was eager.
Marc
It was my
nightmare, seeing them talking and my guts had twisted at Jeanie’s vicious
words. Time was up. We had to go now, today. I wanted to start planning it, but
then Angie hit Jeanie!
Thud!
It was nasty and
rocked Jeanie’s blonde head back to make her stagger. She fell on her butt,
holding her bleeding lip.
“You will not
tell!” Angie shouted, leaning down into Jeanie’s face. A hard shake and a shove
put my winy girlfriend on her back on the ground and I gaped, shocked.
“It’ll take Mother
Brady time to get rid of me and I’ll spend it hunting you!”
A mean kick to
the ribs made me wince, remembering my own injury.
“And break up with
him!” Angie ordered. “Do it tonight or
I’ll be at your door come morning.”
Another kick
curled Jeanie into a crying ball and I finally remembered that I was standing
in plain view. All they had to do was turn a little.
“You go it?”
“Yes, you evil
witch! Get outta my head!”
That froze me again.
Angie was using her gift!
“Say it!”
Angie drew back
to hit her and Jeanie scrambled away. “I won’t tell and I’ll break up with
him!”
Thud!
“Oww! I will!”
The noise that I
hadn’t noticed before now glared at me in the silence as Angie continued to
intimidate my much older girlfriend. It sounded like an engine but I knew it
for what it was: the hum of raw power.
“I won’t! I
swear!”
The look on
Angie’s face worried me. It wasn’t the girl I loved, but the inside creature
that sometimes glared at me from those empty eyes and it wasn’t Angie’s voice
that came from those lips.
“No matter where
you go, Jeanette Lynn Shaffer. No matter where.”
That girl no longer
looked like my nineteen-year-old intern girlfriend that I reluctantly spent
time with because of my controlling parent. This was only a quivering soul that
my Angie had terrified.
Listening to the
instinct that proclaimed me male, I slipped behind the nearest tree and viewed
the aftermath.

Another cant wait read! Anticipation is usually a great thing but Angie and Marc too good to wait for. My favorite couple starting is something I haven't dreamed of yet will fill my dreams ��. I just finished the entire series in anticipation of Carved in Stone and find another jewel coming my way. You are soooo good to us. Many thanks for the hours of intense story telling you've gifted to me. The pleasure has been all mine! Hugs to all of Safe Haven and mostly you! Holly
