Excerpt
The party of
the year had commenced, and the laughter and well wishes
for the New Year were on everyone’s lips. Electra and
Alex danced, and all could see the love they shared. Not
only would this be a new year, but it was a celebration
of the love between Electra and Alex. It was their first
anniversary, and all who knew the pair loved them. It
was an honor to celebrate such an event at Havoc House.
Laughing into her husband’s eyes, Missy squealed as he
lifted her high in the air. It was their first real
night out since the birth of their daughter, Kora. It
had been hard for her to leave the precious little
bundle, and Garland almost backed out of coming all
together.
Suddenly she stopped, gasping as a pain sliced through
her head. She was very sensitive to those around her,
and something felt very wrong. Before she could answer
her husbands concern, the floor trembled and rolled,
shaking as if it would collapse at any moment.
Mistletoe Mayhem clutched at her husband. Her eyes
searched frantically about the room for the source of
the disruption. The floor shook violently, and it was
all she could do to maintain her balance. Black smoke
seeped through the cracks in the floor, and then the
form of a man, or beast began to take shape. Missy
experienced a sinister feeling of dread seeping into the
room.
“What the hell is that?” Candy spoke up from beside her.
Mistletoe shook her head at her friends, Candy and
Trevor Jackson. She had no answers. She let out a sigh
of relief that they were unharmed, but her husband’s
eyes were glowing. That meant only one thing. He was
preparing for a fight.
“Garland? What is it?”
“You just stay behind me, Missy.”
She followed his gaze and gasped. All around the room,
each exit was blocked by creatures of evil. She could
literally feel it, smell it. Whatever it or they were,
evil radiated from them. She’d heard the stories of the
power of Spellfire, and of Mikhail, but she never
thought to see this horror. Electra was very powerful
and she guarded what belonged to her well. Spellfire was
very much a part of Electra.
Electra did all she could to protect those around her.
It seemed it ended as quickly as it began. Words were
exchanged between the lady of the hour and the thing
that seemed determined to end the festivities. However,
Alex was gone. The pain and anger couldn’t have been
mistaken in the magical woman’s scream. The room
trembled with its force.
Everyone gathered around Electra Spellfire and Maejika
Maelstrom, listening as the two explained what they were
up against, offering support and volunteering for
whatever task might be necessary to bring Alex home and
stop the Gremlorr.
Garland stepped forward with Missy by his side.
“I recall that the Thyme of Creation grows deep under
Selkie Falls. Missy and I can retrieve the herb, but it
will take some time. Getting it to you in time will be
the challenge.”
“I can help with that,” Candy Jackson spoke up from her
place beside her husband Trevor. “We will wait beside
the river. Once you have the herb, I can use my magic to
flash it to Electra or Maejika.”
“Are you sure, Candy?” Garland seemed skeptical. “That
hasn’t been your strong point.”
“Garland Mayhem, I may have had problems in the past,
but I think I can handle a little flash.”
Her indignant tone was almost enough to ease some of the
tension. Candy had many mishaps with the one spell she
never could quite get the knack of. Every time she tried
before, something went wrong. At one point, she and
Trevor ended up naked on top of a very cold mountain.
However, this time, a whole town would be depending on
her. Not to mention Electra. There was no possible way
she could do all of this alone. The look of anger and
pain on her face now was enough to break a heart. But
inside those eyes lay a determination to see this
through. Candy wouldn’t let her down.
After Electra instructed them on what to do, and warned
them of the dangers, the group of four rushed out into
the night. This evening had been so perfect, as most
Spellfire evenings were. But tonight, even the magical
town itself seemed darker, almost as if it were dying
from the evil lurking in the shadows.
