Excerpt
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anthony had just reached the step to the back door when the sound of footsteps from inside drew near. The cloaked intruder stomped over the threshold, easily negotiating the snow despite wearing high-heeled boots. With a maniacal laugh, the person booted Anthony in the chest. Fueled by love, Anthony moved faster than either he or the other person had anticipated and grabbed hold of the booted foot.<\/p>\n

\u201cFool!\u201d The boot wriggled in his grasp. \u201cYou cannot stop me!\u201d<\/p>\n

The pearlescent leather of the boot squeaked against Anthony\u2019s hold. Using his weight as an anchor, he pulled harder. Unable to lift his head properly he could only see as far as the intruder\u2019s knees but he could tell they were definitely feminine, encased as they were in slim fitting silvery trousers in a silky material.<\/p>\n

This time the voice was easily identifiable as female to Anthony\u2019s ears. \u201cDo you really wish to fight me?\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s grip on the boot lessened, not for the want of trying but because his energy was fast ebbing away. \u201cI will fight you even if it kills me\u2026what did you do to Ana?\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman yanked her leg back, wrenching it free from Anthony\u2019s weakening hands. \u201cI made her remember the promise she had made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s vision blurred with pain but he forced the words out, \u201cWhat promise?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou ask too many questions. Maybe I should remove your tongue.\u201d The woman cackled. \u201cNo, I will settle for something far more satisfying.\u201d<\/p>\n

This time Anthony was not fast enough to capture her foot as the woman kicked him in the chest. With a cry, he crashed back against the wall of the house, cracking his head above his left ear. Blood dribbled from the wound, running in and over his ear.<\/p>\n

The cloaked woman lifted a hand and blew on her gloved palm. A cloud of ice crystals fluttered down to Anthony and danced before his eyes. Suddenly, the crystals exploded alight and shot into his surprised eyes. He screamed as the glowing crystals burrowed inside his head. Powerless to move from the awkward position he had fallen in; his agonized cries were the only sound to be heard. Darkness washed over him and the last thing Anthony saw was a soft, pink blanket flutter down and land in a crumpled heap on the blood-stained snow.<\/p>\n
