Excerpts from Emily’s Trial,
by Natalie Wright:
From Ch. 1:
The
Apocalypse didn't start with four horsemen, harbingers of the horror to come.
It didn't start with a plague, or pestilence, or even zombies rising from the
dead.
It came
slowly, and without warning. It crept up on people in the shadows, no more than
a vague darkness that spread like an unseen cancer.
And it
wasn't set into action by a divine hand. A teenage girl was the catalyst for
the End Times.
I should
know. I'm the one that started it.
I didn't
plan to. I didn't want to start the End Times, and I'm not evil.
Madame Wong
taught me to tell the truth, and so here it is. I'm the one responsible for the
Apocalypse. And this is the story of how I unwittingly unlocked the door to the
darkness; of how a Priestess of the Order of Brighid, entrusted with powerful
magic that was supposed to be used for the benefit of all humankind, unleashed
a force that would destroy it instead.
And
it all began with desire.
Also from Ch. 1:
It had all
started with desire, and Owen Breen was the well of desire from which I wanted
to drink.
I'd sneak
looks at him every chance I got. I felt pulled in by his dark, chocolate eyes.
I wanted to dive into those eyes.
What would happen if our hemispheres meet? What
would it be like to kiss his full lips?
"Emily!"
Someone was
yelling my name.
"Em.
Earth to Em!"
It was
Fanny.
"Huh?"
"You're
hoarding the salt. Pass it over." She said it extremely slowly, as if she
was talking to a small child.
"Oh.
Sure." The clear shaker lifted in the air and floated across the table to
Fanny.
"You
can use your hands you know," Jake said.
"I can, it's just more fun to do it with my mind." He rolled his
eyes at me.
"Where were you?" asked
Fanny.
