We’d been learning how to shoot for a
couple of months now. It had been Theresa’s idea, and these sessions had
started to replace our wine nights. It had also been her idea to have Noah be
our instructor. Carter was the better shot, but Theresa still liked to keep her
distance from him. He still made her uneasy.
Amanda had asked her about it one night
at their apartment when I’d gone to the bathroom. I stopped in the hallway when
I’d overheard Theresa explain, “It’s not that I don’t like him. It’s just…he’s
a killer, Amanda. He’s dangerous. I know he loves her, and I know if anyone is
going to protect her, it will be him, but…” She’d sighed. “I don’t know. He’s
known as the Cold Killer. It’s hard to get past that, even though I know Emma
loves him so much.”
Amanda had asked, “Are you worried for
her?”
“No.” She’d hesitated. “I mean…maybe. I’m
not worried for her from him, but because of him. He’s with the mafia.”
“She said he’s out.”
“Yeah, well, is anyone really out?”
Amanda had replied, “She wasn’t in
trouble before because of him. Emma and I did that all on our own.”
“I know. I really do, and I feel bad, but
I’m just on edge with the guy. He’s deadly. Can’t you see it in his eyes?” Theresa
got up for the kitchen. “I need a refill. You?”
I had melted backward, back into the
bathroom. When she’d crossed the hallway, the bathroom door was shut.
Glancing over at her now, I remembered
how her smiles had seemed more forced that night, her laughter a little louder,
and the secretive looks she’d sent Amanda’s way. They were roommates. They were
going to talk about me. That was obvious, but I’d been hurt, though I knew I
shouldn’t have been.
Theresa worried about me. I tried to keep
telling myself it was as simple as that.
I tried.
“Because you need to
understand. It’s time you know more. You’re mine, Emma. My first allegiance is
to you. Things are going to happen now, and I can’t control them. The Mauricio
family has always followed me."
Suddenly I realized—he was
going back in. A tear formed in my eye, and I ignored it. This was what he was
telling me. I swallowed over a lump. “What happens now?”
He didn’t answer at first.
Then he let out a soft breath of air and turned, his eyes pained. He said one
word: “War.”
Author Information
I didn't begin
writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been storylines and
characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I
HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it
click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to
write. I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school.
It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but
at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put
together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since
someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future
stories.
