Maddie Bloom & the Fae Academy
-- EXCERPT: I flipped onto my back, spitting mulch from my mouth. I was seconds from pushing myself into a sitting position when the ground vibrated beneath me, courtesy of Sam’s rapidly approaching footsteps. Her bloodlust rippled through the air; that’s how excited she was to have me where she wanted me. Get up! My inner voice yelled at me. I listened, but instantly regretted it. Sharp pain shot through my torso from the impact of the fall, and my stomach lurched as Samantha leered down at me. She was way too close for comfort – to where I could distinguish freckles from blemishes. I swallowed, heat rising to my face. I had a feeling my life was about to flash before my eyes. But before I could reflect on the short, uneventful fifteen years that I’d walked this Earth, I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head sideways, and a strange warmth spread over my body, engulfing me from head to toe. To my left, the air was… shimmering. I blinked. Once, twice, a third time, but it was still there. A twinkling, transparent curtain swaying in mid-air and luring me in. Calling for me. I’m not exaggerating, either. I swear it was chanting my name repeatedly. Meanwhile, in front of me, Sam was preparing to pounce like a predator. Without thinking, without understanding what was going on, I dodged, rolling toward the strange, glistening air to my left. And somehow, the space swallowed me whole, swooping me out of the playground and away from Sam’s clutches just as she reached out to make good on her promise to make me pay for forcing her to run. I caught one last glimpse of her stunned face. And then she disappeared from my view. Or was it me who disappeared? Whatever the case, the world as I, Maddie Bloom, knew it, was gone.
