Friday Fictioneers: A Surprise Visit

Posted on by

I have been away for a few weeks. This is the first story I have done in a while. If you wish to keep up to date, you can read the entirety of the story so far the top under Fiction / Friday Fictioneers.

The idea of Friday Fictioneers is that an image is provided for us by Rochelle which has been donated to her, and we use it as a prompt to write a piece of fiction of around 100 words.

My piece is along Jules’ piece which you can find here.

A Surprise Visit

Tess looked at the church and contemplated entering. The thought crossed her mind that being a vampire would pose a problem for her entering, maybe – according to some films – bursting into flames. She wondered what the vicar would say to her if she told him what she was.

Taking a breath, she walked in and opened the door. Her feet hurt, but after gritting her teeth, she walked on.

“May I help you, young lady?”

“Yes sir. I apologise for what may be about to sound absurd, I need to warn a woman that a vampire is after her….”

Friday Fictioneers: Night Travels

Posted on by

Every week, the lovely Rochelle digs out a photo that she then gives us a prompt to create a 100(ish) word story with. The photo comes from a variety of sources and always creates some magnificent tales.

My story is the continuation of one that has been going on for several weeks. It involves two sides. One is that of a vampire – Raynard, and the other is that of a woman he is chasing – Saskia. She looks like the person who created him as a vampire and so wants to make sure she suffers. In previous chapters, a bone has been mentioned. This bone was one of Moria – his “sire” – and it can be used to track Saskia. He is currently chasing her with his protégé, Tess. He has convinced Tess that it is Saskia who is evil, and by capturing her will end their vampirism.

You can find the story so far here, and Jules’ story for this week here.

Night Travels

The journey to Oologah took many days over large open space. During these nights, they rode at maximum speed to travel as far as possible before daybreak. When the dawn came, they dismounted and hid the bike, then dug holes for protection from the sun. Raynard made sure he lay atop Tess to stop her destroying herself.

Several days into the journey, took them over a mountain. Tess squealed as Raynard’s pouch moved. Stopping the bike, he checked, and Moria’s bone was nothing but ash … Tess saw blackness in Raynard’s eyes that chilled her to the core. She began to doubt his story.

Friday Fictioneers: Aftermath

Posted on by

Friday Fictioneers is a group of people who get together and write stories from a prompt. Rochelle provides the prompt from a photo she has gleaned from somewhere (with permission) and then the story is around the 100 word mark. If you would like to take part, head over to her blog and take a look at the rules in full.

My story is part of an ongoing saga. I was going to give it a miss this week, but with the way things have built up speed lately, I can’t take a break with it. It needs to keep momentum. Don’t worry though, there are no deaths in this episode. The story is a two-way episodic serial written by myself and Jules Paige. Vampire vs Prey. My side is that of the Vampire – Raynard, and Jules writes from the side of the prey – a woman named Saskia. It would appear she is the descendant of Raynard’s sire – the woman who turned him into a vampire – Moria.

You can read the full story HERE on my blog, or HERE on Jules’ blog. Her  part of this week’s story can be found HERE

Last week, Raynard created a new Vampire.

AFTERMATH

She sat on the edge looking over, 200 feet up. She wanted to cry, but no tears would come. Three days ago, she and her husband were celebrating their anniversary, walking in the woods. Now, her husband graced the slab of the mortuary.

These were creatures of horror films and books. They were supposed to be loving and sparkly. Where was Edward? Where was Bill? Eric?

She jumped.

The moment of bliss ended when she hit the floor and realised she wasn’t dead. Raynard came over to her and told her to use her anger at the woman who had caused this.

*************************************

For those that don’t know, Edward is a vampire in the Twilight series of films and books. They sparkle in sunlight. Bill and Eric are vampires in the series True Blood.
