‘Scarlett Phoenix’

The Seraphoenix Saga Book I

Excerpt 

“Move,” Leo hissed. “If that thing gets in here… well let’s just say, you don’t want to be in here with it.”

Scarlett crawled forward as fast as she could, the hard uneven floor scraping her hands and knees. Suddenly the space was plunged into absolute darkness as Leo closed the small door and Scarlett felt the
nearness of the walls closing in. She gulped and tried to hold in a pitiful
sob, small spaces were not her thing and small pitch black spaces were the
worst. She blinked several times trying to get her eyes to adjust to the dark.

“Shhhh…” He whispered bumping into her stationary figure.

Clamping a lighting reflex hand across her mouth, Leo stifled the imminent scream. “Sshhhhh… keep moving, it’s not far and then we’ll
be in a bigger cavern.”

Scarlett upon hearing the words not far lunged forward grappling and stumbling as fast as she could though the pitch-black passage. She winced as the uneven hard rock bashed and bruised her knees as she scrambled and crawled along. The only thought circling her mind.

‘Escape, escape, escape.’

She could feel Leo right at her feet as the splintering crash of the breaking door echoed through the narrow tunnel. A bloodthirsty screech roared horrifyingly in the enclosed space. Scarlett wanted to scream but in her frantic effort to evade the most spine chilling sound she’d ever heard she tumbled sightlessly through an opening. Leo landed at the side of her, just as the Aksu Zini broke all the laws of physics, and elongated into a winged leathery worm sliding easily into the passage with a wet sticky slithering pop. Nimbly Leo leapt to his feet, as the sickening squelching sound got closer by the second. He dived through the darkness towards the wall next to the opening and yanked hard on a wooden lever protruding from the pitch black rock; it creaked tiredly as he applied more pressure trying to release the age-old bar.

Scarlett edged away in the blackout until she came to an abrupt stop, she could smell the nauseating stench streaming out of the tunnel ahead of the creature, she choked placing her sleeve over to mouth to stop gagging.

Her mind raced, her pulse quickened and she closed her eyes tightly praying silently that Leo was going to stop it. The Aksu Zini lunged forward screeching, its blazing red eyes illuminating the tunnel in a deathly glow. Scarlett couldn’t help but look and stared in terror as the two eerie red dots grew bigger by the second careening towards the opening and towards them faster than she could imagine. Leo gave the lever another sharp tug and it suddenly released with a dull crack, a huge stone crashed down covering the tunnel mouth just as the Aksu Zini emerged into the cavern. The heavy block landed with a muffled squelch trapping the Aksu Zini.

Scarlett could see the malevolent red eyes staring at her in the gloom and she screamed. It echoed, bouncing off the smooth rock walls disappearing into the depths of the nightmarish cavern. The Aksu Zini hissed and snarled as its eyes dimmed and very so slowly winked out, the endless darkness returning as Leo rushed to her side.

“We have to leave, take my hand,” his voice was even and controlled. “I’m hoping it’s dead, but they take a hell of a lot of killing, so let’s go now just in case.”

She did as he asked and reached out in the darkness, his fingers connected with hers gripping her hand tightly, a reassuring warmth spread through her fingers.

“Just follow me, and keep your back to the wall,” Leo instructed. “The ledge isn’t very wide so be careful where you place your feet.”

“But I can’t see,” she almost wailed in a whisper as she waited for her eyes to grow accustomed to the thick black blanket obscuring her vision.

“I can see just fine, trust me and don’t let go,” he answered.

“That’s easy for you to say Mr. frigging night vision.” she retorted sarcastically.

He laughed and guided her carefully through the darkness.

Scarlett shuffled almost blindly along in the pitch black; she had no idea where on earth they were. As her eyes became more accustomed to the aphotic opaqueness, she could just make out his outline and see two silver halos surrounding his eyes.

“Leo, can I ask you something?”

She was met with stony silence. She tried again.

“Leo…”

“What?”

“How are we going to get out of here?” Her breathing was fast and shallow.

Leo’s eyes flashed brightly for a split second, and he smiled widely, even though he knew she couldn’t see properly. “Don’t worry, just keep hold of my hand,” he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. “Not far now, just don’t lean forward.”

They were creeping along a narrow but natural ledge, which dropped off to unfathomable depths inside the massive lightless cavern. The rock shelf climbed at a steady angle and for the next few minutes, and all Scarlett concentrated on was keeping glued to the wall as she tried to keep up with Leo.

‘I’m spider girl, I’m spider girl,’ she repeated the mantra over and over again in her mind.

He stopped and she sidled next to him.

“I need you to pivot on you left foot and swing around so that you are facing me, there’s just enough room on the ledge for both of us.”

“You want what?” She trembled waving her free hand uncertainly in front of her feeling nothing. “I can’t…”

“I really need you in front of me,” he said again. “Please…”

She wondered what was below in the deafening silence in this chilling rock prison. She reached her right hand out into the void again, it was shaking as she reached across and pivoted just as he had said, grasping his coat tightly. 

“Please don’t let me fall,” she whispered uneasily as her right foot left the ledge and she swung nervously into position.

His arms clamped tightly about her trembling frame.

“I need to put your hands around my neck and hold on tight,” he replied softly, carefully adjusting his grip around her slender frame.

Scarlett slid her hands around his neck, clutching tightly. “You won’t let me go will you?” She asked tensely, her body suddenly rigid with fear.

“Of course I won’t let you go,” he murmured.

She could feel the slight warmth as his cheek brushed hers in the dark and she was acutely relieved that he couldn’t see steaming the blush rising, burning her cheeks.

“Hold tight,” he said quietly, the words seemed to dance off his lips. “It won’t be long till we are out of here.”

They stood as one, clinging resolutely to the rock like a limpet in a gale. Leo’s grasp tightened just a fraction and he dived off the ledge into the black void below.

The air rushed passed and Scarlett squeezed her eyes tightly together and prayed. The fall seemed to last for infinity and Scarlett resigned to the fact that she probably had only a few seconds to live, when she suddenly felt a strong lurch followed by an abrupt sideways jolt.

“Don’t let go,” Leo said above the noise of the air. He seemed to veer sharply to the left, Scarlett clung as tightly as she could, daring to take a little peek when they seemed to slow down briefly.

“As if!” She replied above the rushing wind.

  1. Exploring angels and all the possibilities is a fascinating subject. I guess the biggest question for me, which I hope your books delve into, is--Can angels fall in love?
