Excerpt:
Jessica’s eyes sprang open. It took her a moment to realize
she was awake. Her room was dark, and only a thin line of light shone through
the slit under her bedroom door. A haze of sleep clung to her mind, and she
couldn’t understand the panic in her chest. She was shaking, and her heart
thumped wildly in her ears.
She took a moment to gather her thoughts before sitting up
in the bed. She couldn’t shake a strange sensation of pain in her hands and
feet. For a moment she thought she might be having a heart attack. It took her
another few seconds to recognize the connection she’d blocked out for so long.
Something was wrong with Elizabeth.
Jessica threw back the covers and hopped onto the floor. The
cold boards sent a shock through her body, but it was a sound that froze her in
place. She was midway between her bed and the bedroom door when the panic
increased tenfold. The pain in her limbs intensified, and the fear for her
sister was the only thing that convinced her to move. Jessica reached the door,
grabbed hold of the handle, and then pressed her ear to the wood.
A series of sounds echoed across the hall outside the room,
ending with a muffled cry. Jessica clenched her teeth as she pressed down on
the handle. The door slowly cracked, and she slid her eye to the opening. The
entire floor was cloaked in darkness, but moonlight offered a view into
Elizabeth’s room. Jessica pulled open the door enough to squeeze through. Her
foot touched the floor out in the hall when a shadow crossed the light in
Elizabeth’s room followed by a loud thump. Another muffled cry struck Jessica’s
heart with terror.
She rushed across the open space and pressed her back
against the wall outside Elizabeth’s doorway. The sounds of a struggle
intensified, and Jessica tried to gather her courage. She was through the
doorway before she knew what she was doing. The moonlight revealed several
figures standing throughout the bedroom. The main struggle came from
Elizabeth’s bed, where at least two people stood over the girl.
Jessica’s mind seized up as several figures lurched toward
her. She managed to get out a scream before they grabbed hold of her. The
initial impact flung Jessica onto the floor. The side of her head smacked the
ground, and her vision blurred and then filled with sparkling lights.
She tried to yell again, but something was forced into her
mouth the moment she opened it. Confusion erupted within the room as all of the
shadows moved at once. Jessica made one last attempt to roll over when a
vicious strike caught her on the back of the head and everything went dark.
