Still Waiting

Well, I am still waiting on a few more responses from agents, but I did make a pretty awesome phone call! Who knows, maybe I'll get this thing published after all! Since I have 1 follower now, hello there, I will post bits of Onyx on the off-chance that someone reads this and finds themselves interested. 

So here is a little taste of what the world is missing! ;)

Prologue

The irony was undeniable. There I lay, gasping for breath, on the verge of death mere months after I found out that I was an immortal. In a couple years, a situation like this would be laughable, once I gained full immortality. I could feel my body trying to heal, but it wasn’t matured enough yet.

If only I was a year older, a year stronger, maybe that would be enough to keep me alive. Maybe that would be enough to allow me to see Leo again.

But I was too young. I was dying.

My enemy, though enemy hardly seemed the appropriate word, stood over me watching me suffer. Hoping that once I died, my immortality might be up for grabs.

I wanted to be brave enough, strong enough. I wasn’t ready for this. I knew Leo wasn’t ready for this either. I knew what losing me would do to him.

All I could see was Leo. I couldn’t let him hurt.

The grin of my enemy and the crushing weight of my own body told me the end was close.

    I needed to be stronger. I needed to live…
