Three Sentence Thursday (3/13/14)

From my paranormal novella Guarding His Heart, one of the awesome Wiccan Haus series. This week, I'm giving you five sentences instead of three. Enjoy!

Cassidy Sinclair and her class of first graders hasten to elude a gunman in their school. Her student Allan Branson has a  bodyguard who comes to their rescue and fights the attacker.  In the instant after he's shot, she swears he changes to something else. She blinks and he's the same quiet man on the floor, bleeding from a mortal wound.

Fear balled in her throat, choking her, as she checked the wound. It still gushed, so she pressed harder.

“Cassie, I’m sorry.”

His voice, just a whisper, trailed off.

He was gone.


Come back next week for more. What will Cassidy do next? How will she deal with the loss of her sense of safety? Will she tell anyone what she saw?
