There's a book called ALL FALL DOWN by Ally Carter that's about embassies in an imaginary country. It's quite interesting and I think it's one of her best books to date. The series is called Embassy Row. Check it out. It releases January 27th 2015.
The flames roared around her. She panicked. Of course she would panic, there was fire surrounding her, enclosing around her. She took as deep a breath as she could without taking in the smoke. She closed her eyes and pushed her energy outwardsoutwardsoutwards. The blast of energy put out the flames. Thank goodness
The lamb looked up at her curiously. The small animal looked so fragile and innocent. After all, it was only a baby. Sheep even as they grew older retained their innocence. She couldn't look at the lamb. It reminded her too much of what she had lost in order to gain what she had now. The childish innocence of the lamb was just too much for her.
She looked around, startled. What was that noise that she had just heard? She took in a deep breath, steadying her heart rate.
After all, she was walking through a forest in the middle of the night. It was perfect horror movie fodder. She just hoped that she wasn't going to be killed or something.
She started moving faster as the rustling continued.
Finally. The source of the noise appeared. It was a wolf. And it looked very contented to see her.
The tall female bent down, smiling at the small child.
"And who are you, young man?" she asked, the small boy looking at her with wonder and a small blush lit up his face.
"I - I'm Ryan."
"Well, it's nice to meet you Ryan, I'm Alruna."
"You're pretty."
She laughed, and ruffled the boy's hair.
The officers looked at the young girl with surprise. How could a girl as small and fragile looking as her do so much damage? They had picked her up for supposedly beating up the 5 built guys that now lay, knocked out on the floor. She must have been a black belt in karate or something.
"It was in self defense, officers. They attacked me first."
She sat in front of the fireplace, smiling softly at the fire. She was snuggled in a blanket with her boyfriend, sitting behind her.
"Merry Christmas, love." she murmured as she handed him a well wrapped box.
"Thanks, sweetheart. I love you. Merry Christmas." he kissed her full on the lips and smiled at her.
They simply sat in each others' presence and stared at the lit Christmas tree, revelling in the feeling.
He hugged his dinosaur plushie close to his chest. The small boy in his pajamas ran up to his mother. "Mommy, What's my dino's name?" She smiled lovingly at him. "You know his name, love." she patted the small dinosaur. "His name is Tex the Rex, right?" The boy leapt into his mother's arms. "That's right, mommy, you remember!" They laughed together. The world was right and happy again.
The fluorescent lights flickered in the warehouse. Her hair flung about as she whipped her hair from side to side, looking for the enemy. She snarled as she swooped down below to rid the enemy. The enemy was a hideous monster, known to behead innocent people and suck out their organs. She was an exterminator. She was born to kill these monsters.
The chorus came and she sang out, loudly. Her angelic voice rung throughout the hall. Her voice lingered in the air, as the last note faded. The crowd stood on their feet and applauded her voice. This was all she had ever dreamed of. She turned, smiled and bowed. She loved this. This was her life.
