Ch. 1 Excerpt

Here is an excerpt from The Fairen...


An arrow shot through the air, just missing Jade’s head. She quickly turned her head to the direction of where the arrow came, her eyes darting at the shadowy movements. She saw nothing else but birds flying through the trees. She picked up the arrow off the ground and looked at the painted pad where the arrowhead should have been. Smiling, she dashed behind a huge tree trunk to her left.
Hidden behind large colorful leaves of greens, reds, and blues, she stopped to catch her breath. Sweat trickled down from her forehead and she raised a hand to brush it off.

Nurtas Woods has been a great place to practice, with hardly any interferences or unwanted dangers. The Woods have offered a sort of campsite for the girls, which they used for nearly a decade.
Suddenly, a flash of blue skittered in front of her. Her eye lids drooping, Jade turned to see a pale face smiling down at her.
“Not fair,” Jade complained, struggling to stay awake. “Aurora, you know you shouldn’t transform! And use magic on me, you know…I…don’t…use...magic…”
Aurora giggled merrily, “All’s fair in war, friend.” She looked at Jade with light blue eyes, trying not to laugh. She put a sleeping spell on her and now Jade was halfway lying on the ground, trying to get up.
