Welcome back! Last week we left Hallie in shock after she discovered Ethan's fangs while she was kissing him! We join her as she tries to get her head around what just happened. Next week, we'll have a bit more 'sexy times' but for now, I wanted to share Hallie's reaction with you.
“Oh my God, oh my God,” Hallie chanted the prayer like a mantra, pacing in tight, erratic circles. She’d been back in her own apartment for almost an hour and her heart still hadn’t stopped threatening to beat its way out of her chest.
What was he? Vampire, a little voice in her mind whispered again.
The first time she’d put a name to what Ethan was, she’d cried..the next, she’d laughed. In the end, she just kept repeating the word in her head, trying to desensitize herself to the panic knotting in her chest every time she thought of it.
Thanks for visiting this week. Please visit Six Sentence Sunday to read the other fabulous entries!

I love your six.
ReplyDeleteI'd be freaking out, too! Great six! Thanks for showing us her reaction.
ReplyDeleteNice six. I have Sacrifice in my Kindle. I'm getting ready to read it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great snippet, very believable reaction, too! (well, as believable as it can be when it comes encountering a vampire, lol)
ReplyDeleteAwesome six, Luxie! I can really feel the emotion!
ReplyDeleteFab six.. loved the internal conflict, and the showing of the character's reaction to vampire.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say it...LOVE the background image on your blog -- property of Luxie Ryders Blog. Fantastic!
I'm sorry. I took me ten minutes to realize there were words on the page. Nice background!
ReplyDeleteLove the six too.
Oh, really felt her panic there!
ReplyDeleteHer reaction was much more realistic than most vamp books - nicely done.
ReplyDeleteNice wallpaper too ;)
Thanks for sharing! Love the six!
ReplyDeleteYep. Panic. Great reaction.
ReplyDeleteLove her reaction to the news
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah, one would be a tad shocked. Feels quite plausible, especially the mad looping of thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou've written a perfectly believable reaction. Can't wait to read what Hallie does with this knowledge.
ReplyDeleteLove how she reacts to learning he is a vampire.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much how I'd react too. *G
ReplyDeleteGood job portraying her shock.
Loved it! Pretty believable reaction. (laughs)
ReplyDeleteI like that her first reaction is panic - very believable. Great six!
ReplyDeleteYou have really nailed her apprehension and unease. Fantastic six! I have such a clear image of her.

ReplyDeleteLani Rhea
Well, who can blame her! That has got to be terrifying!
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a reaction! If vampires aren't on the evening news and part of the Hollywood elite, finding out about them should come with a bit of WTF attached to it!
ReplyDeleteThat said, poor Ethan! :)
