THE AWAKENING
OF
SUNSHINE GIRL
By: Christina
Here is the passage:
That woman brought me to a rain-saturated town in the northwestern corner of the United States. She claimed this is where the girl lived. She told me her name: Sunshine Griffith, and I struggled to hide my smile. The girl’s light was so bright that even the human who named her could sense it. But we were too late. Aidan had already come and gone, taking the girl with him. Of course, I know exactly where he was headed when he left, but I can’t go there. Not anymore. None of my people can get there. When we left, we also gave up the ability to step over its borders, wide as they stretch. Even that woman says she can’t go there now. Which means I have no more use for her. Although her birthright as a luiseach protected her from being permanently killed at the hands of a demon, she no longer has the power to see spirits and help them move on. Perhaps she’ll try to live out her days as a human, though even she must sense the darkness gathering in the corners of the world. Sometimes I envy humans and their ignorance. They’ll never have to do what I have to. Even Aidan wasn’t selfless enough to go through with it. But the woman begs me not to leave her behind. She pleads for a place at my side. I tell her I have no reason to keep her—after all, the only information she offered me was a dead end. I say perhaps she knew that it would be. I suggest she may have been working for Aidan all along. I’ll make my way south and wait as close to the campus as possible. They can’t stay hidden inside forever. But before I leave that woman behind, she tells me that although the girl may be gone, her protector is still close by. And she offers to take me to him. So I choose to keep that woman close. And I choose to stay. For now. CREDITS: http://www.ivampiresbook.com/newest-books/The-Awakening-of-Sunshine-Girl/page_23.html
