The Key ( #1 Anna Kippling Series) YA Paranormal Romance / Epic Fantasy
Page 16
Anna stared up at him and waited for him to speak, but he didn’t. Her eyes darted away for a second to look again for Hayden and when they returned she found herself entered into a kiss. Anna tried to pull her head away, but his hand reached up and clasped the back of her neck and pulled her back to him. Every bit of the kiss was vile to her and when he broke it, Anna wiped at her lips with the back of her glove in distaste.
“Ah, why fight it Anna!” He whispered in her ear, “Deep down inside regardless of how much you want to deny it, you are attracted to me,” He growled.
“You wish!” she spat out at him and he smiled.
“Keep a close eye on the ones you love Anna Kippling, keep a real close eye,” He warned her as he leaned his face close in again and brought his lips inches from hers. His hot breath hit against her face as he stared hard at her for a moment and then he kissed her again. This time, somehow it received a reaction out of Anna she did not recognize and she almost sunk into him. His hand came up to her waist and excited her as she thought he would be pulling her closer to him.
Then as quickly as it started, it also ended and he left her there, watching him leave. Anna looked down to her waist and found he had tucked the envelope into her sash. She looked back up for him and found him gone. Quickly returning to her senses, Anna ran in the direction he departed in, darting around the dancing couples as quickly as she could in a ball gown. By the time she exited the dance floor, Hayden had reached her with their drinks in his hands.
“I’ve been looking for you, where have you been?” Hayden asked her and then realized her distress, “What’s wrong Anna?” he asked her, but Anna ignored him and grabbed the drinks from his hands. She quickly sat them down on a nearby table and grabbed his hand, “Never mind that,” she told him and pulled Hayden with her, running quickly towards the cloak room.
Inside Anna quickly went to the first rack and started searching for her coat, “Hayden, help me find my coat!” she told to him and he rushed to another rack and started searching for it. Thankfully, Anna found her coat on the third rack and quickly pulled her book out of the pocket.
“Anna, please tell me what is going on!” Hayden implored her and she turned around.
“He’s not dead!” she told him.
“Do you mean the Chancellor? He asked her and she nodded.
Anna opened her book, “Where is the Chancellor?” she asked it as Hayden walked over and stood next to her.
“Anna, how do you know? Did you see him?” he asked beside her and she looked up at him.
“I didn’t just see him Hayden,” Anna told him, “I danced with him!”

Book Two- The Tokens
Something at the bottom of the page caught Anna’s attention and she leaned in for a closer look. It was a picture of four symbols: a leaf... a swirl... a flame and a rain drop.
“What is this?” She pointed to it.
The Empress looked down at it. “Those are the Tokens; the one who possess the powers of the Tokens will have the symbols burned onto their wrist.”
“What does each of the symbols mean?” Anna asked her.
The Empress pointed to the symbol of the leaf, “This token represents the power of the trees; the next one represents the power of wind, the third of fire and the fourth of water. The beholder of these powers can manipulate each element.”

The Other Vampire- sequel to One of Them- coming Fall 2012
Evie has now become a vampire, but learns as she goes; she has also become something else. Retaining the traits of her attacker Jonas, not only does Evie have the advantages of what comes with the Vampire breed, she now also has the advantages of what comes from the werewolf as well; but with a twist. With genetics, no two things form equally. Through genetic history passed down from one generation to another; Evie has picked up her father’s traits and when she shifts, instead of becoming the creature the werewolf encompasses, she shifts into a wolf like him, better known as the shape-shifter.
With both characteristics, Evie has created a new species and a greater kind at that. Bending time is no longer a Bender quality. Evie has picked that up too and even more she can also see as one “bends” which no other Bender can do. Long ago when Michael had told Nathan he was the last of their breed, he was right. A new breed has been brought forth, a new and stronger force that would only consist of one and would come in the form of Evangeline.
New trouble comes to Bigfork and to Evie and the others who stand with her. This trouble comes in a form too and he is ready for the challenge and for the hunt.
He is the other vampire…
