Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
Enjoy a snippet from last week: Flowers and Fangs #4
This week’s snippet is from Flowers and Fangs.
The three Hayes brothers arrived at the Wilkins’ home. They’ve dusted the Nosferatu (one of the more nastier vampires and the most lethal). They need to find T. Wilkens, who has been turned. They can’t allow him to infect anyone else. The Nosferatu already hinted Wilkens has a girlfriend.
This is in Derek’s POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit.
*********************************************************************************
T. Wilkins screeched as he leapt off the roof, sailing through the air like a bat taking flight.
Wade did the honors and his dagger flew from his fingertips, hitting Wilkins squarely in the chest, right where his vampire heart lay beneath. The newly made vamp fell to the ground mid-flight like a stone effigy.
They strode over to the last remaining Wilkins. He looked momentarily stunned as if he couldn’t wrap his mind around why his brain worked and his limbs had taken a snooze.
“So who’s your girlfriend?” Wade asked. “Did you turn her, vamp?”
Wilkins blinked then snarled. “Go to hell.”
“I’ll consider the holiday if you cooperate,” Wade replied as he sat on his haunches next to Wilkins and rifled through the vamp’s pockets.

Glad you like the title. I always stress when I have to come up with one. lol
I love this line: “couldn’t wrap his mind around why his brain worked and his limbs had taken a snooze.” I’ve had the wind completely knocked out of me and that is a great description. And now I can’t wait to find out what they find in his pockets.
