It's that time again, Six Sentence Sunday has rolled around, and here's my next teaser of my novel-in-the-making. This is pre-editing, as I haven't had time to go through and read my editor's suggestions, but I hope you'll enjoy, nonetheless!
All of a sudden, she could feel empty air in front of her. Nala thought this was just some cruel trick, that he was just playing mind games with her, making her think she had a chance to run, only to catch her again, like a cat with a mouse. Her mind stumbled upon the odd noises she now heard. Where were the thuds and grunts coming from? It was a few moments before she was game enough to have a peek. What she saw astonished her.
I loved it, very exciting excerpt.
