The Huntress

Hey there (:

I've decided to write a new story, The Huntress. Yeah, I'm putting Lelenorae on hold, and focusing on TH now since it's easier for me to write. Believe it or not, it's in THIRD person! *audience applauds* This is my first time writing in third person seriously, and so far it's doing great! I've posted it on inkpop:

Take a look if you have a chance ;) Now...here's an excerpt of Chapter One:

~★★★★★★★★★★~

Left foot.

Right foot.

Left foot.

  

Celeste stumbled, tripping over her own feet in weariness. Darkness shrouded her vision. Always, it was the darkness; beating down on her, blinding her, delaying her progress to a mind-numbing crawl. Her jaw sharpened in defiance against the weariness of a week’s non-stop travel. 

Far back, in the deepest corners of her memory, she could remember the light; a bright; pure light that seemed to wrap around her like a blanket. Now, all that was wrapped around her was a seeping dread. Celeste turned her eyes once more to the ground, where placing her feet was the only thing she knew how to do in her frenzied mind.

Suddenly, a vehement shriek tore the silent atmosphere, as if the air itself were being ripped in half. Feverish tingles raced down Celeste’s spine, and her feet automatically lunged in opposite directions of the enemy. Her balance wavered, and she let out a cry as she tumbled down, scraping her knee and tearing her cloak.

Celeste covered her head as loose shale rained down on her. “Where are you…?” She gasped, turning in a circle. “I know you’re there…Show yourself!” Her throat constricted- the air stifling as if red hot claws were raking her sides.

Behind you. Celeste whipped around, dizzy with fear. Behind you. She turned again, staggered, and crashed against a boulder. Her legs had become straws and Celeste struggled to think past the fear that fogged her mind. One rule-one vital rule…

Survive.
