********* EXCERPT *********
“Who are you?”
He pushed further back into the
shadows as she strode closer. “Someone you need not know.”
“What’s that supposed to
mean?”
When he didn’t answer, she
sighed.
“What a strange, terrible day,” she
mumbled. “Well, at least tell me your name . . .”
He stood, speechless, knowing he
shouldn’t be there at all—conversing with a Meleyan—especially not their musical
deliverer that he was set to doom the day after tomorrow.
A peculiar grumbling interrupted her
insistence, to his relief.
“Sorry.” She patted her stomach. He
could see, even in the blackened night, how her face turned a deeper shade of
red than her hair. “I’ve forgotten to eat. I guess I’m hungrier than I
realized.”
He plucked an apple from the tree
he’d nearly become a part of and held it out to her. The girl approached
tentatively. She reached for the fruit but recoiled when her fingers brushed
his.
“Is touching me so horrible?” he
asked.
Her jaw dropped open and her
delicate brow furrowed. She inclined her head. “It . . .
hurt.”
“How?” he asked, for her fingers
felt good to him, soothing. Warm. He wanted to try again.
“I don’t know how to explain . .
.”
“Hum.” Unsatisfied with the answer,
he tossed the apple to her and watched as she crunched her teeth into
it.
