“She
fled back through the house and out the front door into the comfort of the
suburban street. She gulped in the cool air and focused on one thought.
Something had gone wrong. It had gone horribly wrong.”
Excerpt:
It glided over
rocks and grassy mounds, jumping the small creek, pausing every now and then,
as if to call him forward. He followed until the silver light stopped in a
small clearing at the front of a cave. Dutton stopped too, hidden by the safety
of the tall forest trees. He peered around him, trying to see what was
happening. As the silver light paused he saw something drift out of the cave.
The hairs on the back of his neck stood on edge. His heart missed a beat. It
looked like a woman – with hair the colour of a cornfield.
He choked on his
breath. The woman looked identical to the photographs at home. His mother. He
squeezed his eyes shut. Was he dreaming? When he opened them again she was
still there, walking toward the silvery light. As she reached the light it
engulfed her; she became one with the light. The silvery beam spun in his
direction, motioning to him. His knees began to shake with excitement. His
heart pounded so loudly in his ears, he thought they would explode. The light
floated toward him, closer and closer until he could feel it pulsating on his
skin. He raised his head and gazed into it. He had hoped to see the kind,
gentle face of his mother but, instead, dark eyes blinked from within the
silvery cloak. He frowned. This wasn’t his mother. It leant closer to him and
hissed, “Look to the skies in three days; look for the dark star and you will
find all you seek.” He nodded frantically before he blacked out and slumped to
the ground.
