Welcome to Snippet Sunday! I’ve decided to switch it up this week with a WIP called Two Worlds Collided.
This is a time travel tale where an obsessed fan has a chance to save her beloved rock star from ending his life. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll are a cocktail that is neither glamorous nor pretty for rock star, Bellamy Lovel, but in the dark of night when the shadows threaten to consume him, he finds the one shining light that may guide him home.
Remember this is still unedited material. 🙂LOOKING FOR last week’s SNIPPET: Snippet #5
Now for Chapter One, #6 snippet
Los Angeles, 2007
Disappear
This is in Evie’s POV. In last week’s snippet, Kelsey is using magic to send Evie’s back in time to 1997. This is in Evie’s POV. We’re continuing on to the next sentence in the scene.
****************************************************************************************************************
Kelsey went on and recited something that Evie didn’t understand, something old and foreign, but as she spoke the words, the air around them felt different, heavy and charged. She gripped the necklace tighter and her gaze shifted to the cardboard Bellamy lookalike. The world tilted, making her dizzy and Kelsey’s voice grew farther away. Then she felt a surge of wind around her, and a light so bright she shielded her eyes. Darkness blasted her senses next, and her body felt weightless as it zoomed through a black void. Sounds blasted her from every side and she wanted to cover her ears but couldn’t move. She was at the mercy of whatever force was driving her away from her friends.
Just as fast as she traveled, because she couldn’t think of another word for what was happening to her, it all stopped as if someone had pressed on the brakes at top speed and she’d forgotten to wear her seatbelt. She jerked forward then back with such force she feared her neck would snap. Her breathing came in short quick breaths and managing anything deeper into her lungs hurt too much.
*****************************************************************************************************************
Could she have arrived in 1997?
Possible blurb for Two Worlds Collided:
Evie Reid on a whim agrees to travel back in time to change bad boy Bellamy Lovel’s path of destruction. She’s smart with a college degree, but she is still fan-girl crazy for the rock band, Civilized Heathens. Evie knows despite all Bellamy’s smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he’s destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.
Bellamy isn’t keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him, and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.

Well good, I don’t think time travel should be easy LOL. Excellent description of the process and I have a feeling her troubles are just beginning. Enjoyed the snippet!
Veronica,
Thanks so much. And yes, her troubles are just about to begin.
Great description of both traveling through time and coming to a very abrupt halt. Doesn’t sound like a very comfortable way to travel. Nice snippet!
Jenna,
Can’t make it too easy or everyone would be doing it. lol
Exciting – I hope she has arrived at the right time and place.
Aurora,
She hopes so too. 🙂
Awesome descriptions of her time traveling! Love the seatbelt reference. She may want to keep that seatbelt on, this sounds like it’s going to be one wild ride. LOL.
Daelyn,
Glad you liked the ‘seatbelt’ reference.
Ouch! That’s some kind of roller-coaster ride. Sounds like it worked, though–so was it worth it?
Like the others, I really enjoyed your vivid description of her magical experience. “Breaks” should be “Brakes.”
Thanks, Ed. Don’t know how many times I read that line and didn’t notice the spelling was wrong.
Wonderful description! The movement, physical and emotional responses were very well executed! Great snippet!
