The Awakening
-- EXCERPT: “Earth to Jameson!” Michael yelled at the top of his lungs. It caused Aaron and Jenna to look over to where we were standing. Something inside of me clicked and I took off like a shot, racing towards them. My anger continued to build as my mind raced. Witches. On the human side of town. Witches. Here. Right here. How dare they? How dare they! As I reached Aaron and Jenna, they were scrambling to grab their backpacks and run. I grabbed Jenna’s backpack strap and pulled, causing her to let out a yelp. As she was jerked back towards me, I reached out and grabbed her. My hand wrapped around her neck. She gasped and dropped the backpack. The weight surprised me and I looked down at it, swinging in my hand. I looked back up at her. She was clawing at my hand, her face full of panic. Her eyes were wide and staring at me. I stared back. My fingers clawed into her neck. I’m doing it! I’m going to kill a witch! “You’re killing her! Let go!” Aaron yelled at me. He ran up to me, yanking on the arm holding the backpack. I glanced at him, my focus still on Jenna. “Jameson! Let go of her!” Michael yelled. He sprinted up beside me, panting heavily. “Why?” I asked, turning to look at Michael. “What do you mean why? You’re going to kill her!” Michael stared at me in disbelief. “So?” I replied. I couldn’t get myself to care about the consequences that would fall on me. All I cared about was revenge. “Jameson, look, man. I know you. You don’t want this. Your mom wouldn’t want this,” Michael said, trying to reason with me. I looked at him, tears in my eyes. GIVEAWAY!
