- The
- second
- installment
- in
- The
- Claire
- Thomas
- Murder
- Mysteries
- Series...The
- murdered
- bodies
- begin
- to
- appear
- just
- as
- a
- gale
- force
- storm
- approaches
- the
- Island
- and
- the
- strange
- methods
- of
- the
- murderer
- leaves
- me
- haunted,
- blaming
- myself
- that
- my
- younger
- sister
- Allie
- has
- become
- a
- victim
- of
- the
- twisted
- killer's
- game.
- I
- know
- she
- is
- alive.
- She
- must
- be
- alive.Horrible
- dreams
- of
- a
- bloody
- mouth
- full
- of
- crooked
- pointy
- teeth
- and
- glaring
- blood
- red
- eyes,
- ripping
- the
- flesh
- from
- my
- ribs
- from
- which
- there
- was
- no
- escape,
- haunted
- me.I
- was
- now
- totally
- convinced
- that
- killer
- was
- a
- creature,
- not
- human
- at
- all.Stepping
- closer
- to
- the
- water's
- edge,
- I
- allowed
- the
- icy
- tides
- to
- sweep
- thick
- seafoam
- across
- my
- feet.
- The
- tide
- was
- rising
- swiftly,
- now.
- Huge
- rolling
- waves
- crashed
- into
- the
- rocks
- not
- far
- from
- where
- I
- stood.
- Icy
- fury
- swept
- around
- me
- as
- the
- crashing
- waves
- violently
- sprayed
- upwards
- as
- it
- rammed
- itself
- helplessly
- against
- the
- worn
- rocks
- and
- cliffs,
- and
- the
- water
- rose
- higher
- with
- each
- wave.This
- wild
- sea
- echoed
- the
- fury
- that
- rose
- and
- fell
- in
- rhyme
- within
- my
- soul.
- The
- helplessness
- and
- fear
- had
- now
- become
- like
- a
- live
- thing
- inside
- of
- me.
- And
- it
- angered
- me.
- I
- hated
- feeling
- helpless.
- I
- hated
- feeling
- fear
- even
- more
- so.I
- searched
- deeply
- within
- my
- soul,
- blocking
- out
- my
- desperation
- over
- Allie,
- and
- concentrated
- on
- my
- higher
- self,
- seeking
- answers.
- Images
- of
- Allie
- flashed
- continuously
- through
- my
- thoughts,
- piggybacking
- the
- fear
- I
- would
- never
- find
- her
- alive
- in
- time.Then
- I
- saw
- it-
- that
- thing
- that
- took
- my
- sister.
- With
- a
- savage
- growl,
- I
- launched
- myself
- at
- the
- creature,
- who
- whipped
- around
- to
- face
- me,
- mouth
- open,
- revealing
- bloody
- rows
- of
- sharp
- teeth
- that
- crowded
- its
- mouth.
- Blood
- ran
- down
- its
- chin
- as
- the
- red
- glowing
- eyes
- widened
- in
- surprise…….For
- a
- deliciously
- enchanted
- treat,
- plunge
- into
- the
- intriguing
- world
- of
- ancient
- beings
- that
- live
- not
- in
- the
- shadows
- of
- society,
- but
- out
- in
- the
- open,
- living
- semi
- -normal
- everyday
- lives
- on
- the
- small
- southeast
- Island
- in
- Alaska
- and
- meet
- a
- cast
- of
- human
- and
- not
- so
- human
- characters
- who
- will
- keep
- you
- turning
- the
- pages
- long
- after
- darkness
- has fallen......
