In conjunction with the blog tour for The Experiment, I'll be posting an excerpt daily from the book. You can see the schedule for the tour here. Here's today's excerpt:
Cilla
Juliet's eyes came to mine, locking,
pleading. “Is it true, Cil? Don’t lie to me. Please.”
I don’t have to ask what she
meant. “It’s true.”
“You’re a . . . a felit?” Her
words carried an undertone of disbelief still.
“No.” My denial was immediate.
“I’m just me.” I tore my gaze from hers, looking down on the green carpet below
as tears filled my eyes. “I don’t know what happened. The first time, it was
because a Troll threatened us . . . threatened Em. I was so angry and scared, and suddenly I wanted to kill the
guy, tear him to pieces, you know? It was like something took over my anger and
fear, harnessed it or controlled it, and I lashed out. Next thing I know, he’s
running away, scared, and Em is staring at me like I sprouted a second head.
And then the second time, when you were attacked . . .” I trailed off,
shuddering at the remembrance of Jules being attacked by the eagle.
“How did you feel? Before, I
mean?”
I felt her gaze heavy upon me so I
finally looked at her, bracing myself for the revulsion I expected to see.
Instead I saw curiosity and acceptance.
“Like my chest was full of viper
ants trying to get free.”
