Welcome to another Sunday
with Weekend Writing Warriors.

Join the fun and read our snippets.
Today,
I’m continuing the scene from my new release: Starrella Falls, Book 2 in the Secret Supers. You can read the
first chapters HERE
Background: Toby and Estelle are having dinner in
their first real date for several weeks, when Estelle recognizes a man who
walks into the pub. You can read last weeks’ snippet here:

Toby says the man is dangerous.
The final line was: Squeezing
his fingers, Estelle hissed, “Okay. What’ll we do?”
“Finish our food, pay up and walk
out like we’re cool.”
“Sure; my hands are itching to
flame.”
“See what he does first,” Toby
advised, “don’t want to create a scene.” He beckoned to the waitress and asked
for the check. While they waited to pay, he asked, “Where’s the mare?”
“Not far; we’re in contact.”
They eased out of the booth. Toby
slipped his arm around Estelle’s waist and they strolled to the rear exit
leading to the parking lot. Estelle glanced back before they reached the door.
Croaker stood facing them.

Oh no. They better get backup soon. Great snippet, Aurora. :)
ReplyDeleteThey have superpowers!
DeleteOh, I hope they do get out of there before he tries anything. Best to try and keep innocents from getting hurt. Nice snippet!
ReplyDeleteOf course they don't want people to get hurt.
DeleteUh oh. They're going to need their superpowers.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, I have a feeling the bad guy doesn't care if he causes a scene. Great snippet, your hero and heroine sure keep their cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks! They don't always, but now they are working as a team. mostly.
DeleteThey need support. But she's handling it well. :)
ReplyDeleteBut do they?
DeleteUh oh. I sense a fight in the very near future. ;)
ReplyDeleteFights are fun to write. Stop in next week!
DeleteVery tense scene. I'm glad they have superpowers!

Superpowers and super animals - all will be needed.
DeleteSo much for that escape plan- I predict a fight in the immediate future.
ReplyDeleteOf course! You've got to have some action.
ReplyDeleteIt took too long to pay the bill, it seems.
ReplyDeleteCroaker wouldn't let them slip away unnoticed.
DeleteUh oh. There's in a bad spot. Lucky they have some extra powers.
ReplyDeleteExcellent tension, Aurora!
ReplyDeleteI have a bad feeling about Croaker. This is not good.
I like your bad feeling!
DeleteExcellent tension, Aurora!
ReplyDeleteI have a bad feeling about Croaker. This is not good.
Oh-oh ... nice cliffhanger. Hope they get through this situation all right.
ReplyDeleteSome scenes work well with cliffhangers for these snippets.
DeleteOf course he is...and now what? Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteYou learn a little more on Sunday!
DeleteI hope they get outside before something gets started. And somehow I don't think that Croaker being there was a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteNo. He was looking for somebody.
DeleteThis short scene was intense. Really looking forward to fine out more next week.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you want to read the next few lines. Coming soon!
DeleteOh not fair! You can't leave us on that! Great tension. I love the detail she can connect with her horse I'm assuming telepathically? Maybe?
ReplyDeleteYes. Estelle/Starrella and her mare Rockette speak to each other telepathically. Toby has an animal partner too. It's my fun twist in this series.
