The Auction part 2

February 4th 2007 07:38
Here is the second part of the Auction, not alot I'm afraid but that can be changed in the future.

There was a blur of movement as her other hand grasped tightly around the man’s throat and started to squeeze hard.
He struggled to break her hold but she held him in an iron grip and no matter what he did, it was to no avail, she squeezed harder. The mans two associates rushed forward, one of them brandishing an evil looking knife’
‘Let him go now you bitch!’ he said holding the weapon towards her.
‘You fools, you have no idea who you are dealing with’ she snarled in an almost animal growl, her eyes turning black.

There was a sudden snapping sound like twigs being broken and she released the man she had been holding, his head bent at an unnatural angle as he lay upon the floor.
‘You’re dead’ the man roared lunging forward bring his weapon in an upward slashing motion.
Once again she moved in a blur of movement and then the man was staggering backwards with his own weapon sticking out of his chest, before dropping slowly to his knees and falling forwards onto the carpeted floor.
The last man turned to run for the door but she was quicker, landing her fist hard into his back. Tobias heard, bone and muscle tear and watched horrified as her hand went deeper and deeper into the man’s body. He jerked once or twice and Tobias turned his head away as she withdrew her hand, holding in it the man’s still beating heart.
‘What are you?’ he asked fearfully as she walked towards him.
Her eyes returned to normal as she threw the heart into the corner of the room.
‘Oh my poor Tobias’ she said running a hand over the bruise that had appeared on his face.
‘No one could do that’ he said recoiling from her touch.
‘You are right no one could but I have been alive for centuries, surely you guessed it by my name?’ She asked with a soft laugh.

‘Cranaoj?’ ‘Cranaoj? ‘Oh my god it can’t be!’ He exclaimed in shock.
‘It’s the name I use from time to time, I find it funny to use it’ she smiled.
‘Joan of arc?’, ‘But you would be hundreds of years old, it’s impossible!’ Tobias stated in alarm.
‘Oh, I am much older than that, for I helped Cleopatra seduce Mark Anthony and this necklace was her thank you to me’ she said running her fingers over the gold around her neck.
‘What do you want from me? Tobias said weakly.
She gave him one of those seductive irresistible smiles ‘Why to be my companion of course, I will show you things you have only dreamed of’.

Joan of Arc, Carcassonne, France


Photo was taken whilst I was in Carcassonne, amazing place and actually a world heritage site. So will blog about that later.

Haha

Thanks for that Ash, I always say to all my friends here in NZ, that if/when I become famous always look me up. A question for you, how do you put the little pics on your profile? As I tried to do it and did all the correct steps but it didn't down load pics?

Oh looks like my domain name kiwiauthor.com. is a go, so that should be active in about 48 hrs. So got some marketing ideas running around my head now as you have to make things happen, so logo caps etc might be an idea. Hmmm my mind is working over time now, so if there are any rich people out there who would like to support my dream of being a full time author, then please contact me
