Night Fire
“He saw her raised arm, saw the knife in her hand. It was aimed at Arielle. He shouted, striking up at her arm as he rolled over Arielle to get to Dorcas. The blade slid into his flesh. He felt a shudder of cold where the knife had struck, then a blessed numbness. The knife was jerked out of his flesh, its way smooth, even slick, leaving its path frozen. He’d experienced this before, knew what it meant.
Arielle came awake under Burke’s weight and his yell. She looked up.
“Dorcas. No!” She saw th...e knife, saw the tip of it dripping blood. She saw the old woman lift her arm, saw the knife coming down. Burke again was trying desperately to cover her, and she felt the stickiness of his blood, knew he was hurt. With a strength she didn’t know she possessed, she slid up, away from him, raised her pillow in front of her as the knife descended. It ripped through the pillow to its hilt, missing Arielle’s throat by an inch.
But Arielle wasn’t afraid for herself; she was terrified that Burke was going to die.MoreLess
