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:
Juliet
“The guy has enough food here to
feed a small army for a week. Clothing, too. Unfortunately it’s all guy
clothing. I’m not the girliest of girls, but I certainly don’t want to walk
around looking like a guy,” I said to Cil as we rummaged through some of Brax’s
supplies in search of suitable clothing. We were down to our last outfits
thanks to all our morphing.
Cil agreed. “I know we’re in the
jungle and all, but seriously, who would wear these?” She held up a pair of
black and red heart-covered boxers with one finger and we giggled. “We need to
find something we can slip on and off easily, without a bunch of buttons and
zippers, and no khaki please.” She ripped a pair of khaki shorts I’d been
considering from my hands and flung them to the back of the pile. Ever the fashion guru. Some days I
envied her to the point of jealousy. Not only was she beautiful, but she had
brains. Not street smarts like I had, but real brain power like Em. I’d seen
Brax flirting with her. He was yet another guy I’d lose to my sister. And what
hurt the most was that she never tried to steal them away, they just flocked to
her.
Cil sat back on her heels. "Seeing Brax
and knowing he’s been a freak his whole life is comforting, you know? I mean, I
was afraid the animal would take over and Cil would disappear. I guess it still
could happen. Brax’s morphing is different than ours. He isn’t an animal. He’s
just incredibly fast and strong.”
“But Cil, haven’t you noticed the
side effect morphing has had on Brax?” I asked in a low whisper.
“No,” she said, holding her
breath.
“Sure you have.” She shook her
silky blond hair. “Cil,” I said softly. “He has a huge, oversized. . .” I
paused and waited for her eyes to flash wide. They did. “Ego,” I added low.
