My Excerpt for tonight for another one of my novels is an excerpt of ch. 2 of Alien Love!
When she woke up after a few hours, she realized after a minute or two that someone was in the white room with her.
Robin looked up, after wiping the sleep from her eyes, to see the most handsome man, she has ever seen staring at her.
Robin wondered what his name was, until he said to her “I’m happy to see you awake I was wondering when you will wake up!" "Come I’m taking you out of this room and to my home where I can do my own tests on you myself!"
Robin got up from laying down in the white room, and followed him out the door and into the halls.
Robin wondered what he’s up to, and why is he freeing her, from her imprisonment in the white room, where she was even now, that she is following him.
Down the halls to where she hoped there was an exit, and that she can ask, if she can see her companion again, because she was connected to him, and felt that he was hurt.
When she reached the end of the hallway with him, he opened a door, and motioned for her, to go inside the doorway before him.
She did and he followed her, she noticed that she was in a bigger room, filled with millions of people, that looked like scientists, guards, and army people.
As well as other people, she did not recognize or want to recognize because all she wanted to do was get out of this place and find her companion besides someone to love her and be with her.
With her in her thoughts, and thinking too much in her mind, she did not know someone mainly the commander, known as commander grant to everyone, was staring at her.

thanks Louisa and I forgot to correct that I changed her companion to a girl instead of a guy for the rest of my novel since the character screamed at me to have her as Robin's companion and best friend.
Instead of the guy I originally had for Robin to have as her companion and Robin's companion and best friend in my novel is Lila instead of someone who is guy and her companion and best friend, which works out for the novel so far!

Here is another Excerpt this time from Mermaid Love!
Moira did not want to, have anyone of the suitors or at least all of them that bug her that are dull and boring to her and could not wait to have someone that will love her for her, and not be compared to any of her sisters that she lived with under the sea.
Along with her parents and she was happy for the freedom tonight but still wished that she did not feel lonely all the time and to have someone love her that was different and could be with her for a long time and more.
With Moira hoping she can feel that she is loved and will not be lonely anymore if she finds someone that has an interest in her and that loves her, cares for her, and wants her for her for a long time.
Who is not a dull or boring person, or acts the same, as the rest of the suitor’s underneath the sea where she lives.
Moira continued to walk along the beach embraced in her thoughts and what she was thinking that she did not notice that there was someone in the woods that was watching her through his eyes.
Wondering if he can approach her and not scare her since he found her intriguing and beautiful and he wanted her to be with him.
Since he felt that, she was lonely as, he was and wanted someone to love him and be with him that was not dull or boring to himself as well and hoped she is the perfect one for him.
He kept looking at her that he didn’t notice that he stepped on something that made a cracking noise he looked down to see he stepped on a small branch.
He then looked up real quickly to see her looking around to find anyone looking at her and wondering if she was safe or not.
Meanwhile Moira wondered who or what spotted her and what sound the noise made and if she was afraid for her life or if it was safe to be where she was.
Moira kept looking everywhere until she spotted someone coming towards her she panicked when she realized it was a human because of all the stories she has been told through the years of her life Moira knew she had to be careful.
Moira realized he was coming closer to her with her looking at him and realized he dressed differently then what she has been told about from her father and mother.
Moira saw that he must be royalty but as he came closer to her, she panicked before he reached her and jumped back into the water before he was close enough to touch her.
While he was still on land, he was thinking, “what did I do wrong for her to run away from me like that!” “Or did I do something to offend her in some way or something.”

While the team led, by Gibbs solve crimes as the other show called C.S.I in which she used to watch before all the news starting in those news channels, about those strange cases of murders happening in two towns away from here.

Tracy is taking with figuring out she will not be out till close to 2 P.M. with her taking a test after her last class is out at 1 P.M.

Here is an excerpt today in the afternoon this time from Unfamous!
Sarah was up in her bedroom reading a book after finishing writing another entry in her diary, when she heard knocking on her bedroom door, she heard her mom call out “Sarah could you come down the stairs for a sec your cousin wants to show us something and I just thought that you would want to see it too”.
Sarah let out a frustrated sigh knowing her cousin tiffany was going to get all the attention again from her family like Sarah had always wanted to have. Flashback
Sarah and her cousin were playing with toys when Sarah was 9 and her cousin was 8 when her cousin said to her in a small voice “Sarah I would like to have more toys you got more than me!”
Sarah looked at her she said to her cousin “No I don’t look at your own pile you have a lot of toys too so I won’t give you more toys because these are mine!”
Her cousin Tiffany looked at her she burst out fake tears and whined for her aunt who came in and looked at her crying and picked her up.
When he cousin explained to Sarah’s mom about her not having anymore toys and how Sarah wasn’t sharing with her. Her mother looked at her with a disappointed look on her face looking at Sarah she said to Sarah “Sarah would you give Tiffany more of your toys so that you should both share more!”
Sarah looked at her while watching and noticing her cousin smiling at her she said to her mother “But mom she has her toys already and the pile is bigger than mine so whys should I give her more toys especially since their mine mom”.
Her mother looked at her with a serious face said to Sarah “Because I said so and she is littler then you so you have to be nice and give her more toys and share enough said about it now do what I said”.
After her mom said that she let Sarah’s cousin down on the floor and left the room her cousin’s tears were gone and she was smiling at Sarah at first glance then smirking at her.
Holding her hands out for more toys, to which Sarah gave them to her and left the room in a huff after her cousin was smiling and got to play with all the toys.
End of flashback
Sarah is 17 now and her cousin Tiffany just turned 16, she wondered if her cousin would just drop off the face of the earth and let her be in the spotlight to have everyone’s attention to her and not just all about her cousin and what everyone thinks of her compared to Sarah.
After her and her mom came downstairs her cousin smiled and sent a fake smile to her and Sarah knew she was about to say something so she waited to see what the trash said to her and her family.
Her cousin Tiffany said “well everyone today is about the moment where I want you guys to hear me sing and tell me what you guys think of my song that I’m going to sing to you guys”.
Sarah’s family except her Sarah were excited to hear her sing a song that she wanted them to hear her and tell them what they think because her family nodded their heads yes and were waiting to her cousins voice because they loved her even if Sarah did not.
As soon as her cousin tiffany started to sing Sarah tuned her out and was thinking about how all the ways she could get attention from her family, and praise as well as love from her family and to be in the spotlight too.
Sarah knew she has to do something fast in order to have attention, and so she interrupted her cousin’s singing which caused her cousin to be mad but Sarah didn’t care and said, “I wrote a few songs today and I can sing too, not just her want to hear mom and dad?”
Her parents and the rest of her family Joinees looked at her wondering what it is this time that she wants them to hear from her.
Sarah soon begin to sing before them with one of her songs that she wrote, while smirking and smiling inside knowing her cousin Tiffany is giving a huff.
Sarah watched as her cousin Tiff is soon going into one of her moods, but Sarah knew she had to steal the spotlight some more before her cousin has her way again.
While Sarah noticed that her cousin is mouthing obscenities to her while, Tiffany is also giving her a mean stare.

My Excerpt this time is from Holiday Murders!
Stephanie is in her prison cell, when she was called saying there was a visitor to see her.
Stephanie did not know who it was, for it was not Thomas Payne, who came because he disappeared shortly after she was convicted of her crimes, that, she committed.
Once her cell door opened up she was put in chains and shackles and was following the prison guard who was taking her to the visitors room where she did not know by then who it still was.
By the time, the guard showed her to the visitor’s room, she saw someone she did not recognize but new it was a reporter.
Stephanie went towards the person in her chains and shackles, and sat down across from him, wondering what he wants now since a long time ago nobody cared about her.
However, knew that they knew her, and that is why she had to destroy the men she was with through a ritual, except one got away.
Stephanie asked the male reporter” what do I owe the visit from a reporter what’s your name by the way so I can get to know you well before I leave for back to my prison cell sir”.
The man got enough courage and said “we’ll miss Weston my name is Luke Williams and I would like to hear your story of what happened a long time ago!" "Before the murders started and when you committed the crimes and were finally sent here”.
Stephanie smirked at the young man loving him already and knew she would have a fun time telling him her story to which before she asked him “well Mr. Williams are you going to publish my story after I tell you it or not it’s as simple as that to tell you it as long as you publish it alright”.
Once she saw the young man nodding his head yes, at what she said, she finally told him “well a long time ago, back in 1961 I was a young girl who was wild and rebellious against anything I was told to do being rich didn’t give me any reason to act normal to anyone!” “In addition, I had many of my life ahead of me, before I went here to jail, or prison!” “As I now liked to call it, for the murders I committed, later on from a spell that I used with a ritual in an ancient book that had to do with a blue moon!”
Stephanie continued to say “Nevertheless, one got away and was saved from me and testified against me to put me in here for my crimes after he was saved from being killed like all the other men I did to kill and keep me alive and staying young!” “However, that’s beside the point, later on I will be in my 20’s or 30’s, but now that I think about it, I was sixteen back then and had just started crushing on one of the sailor’s known as Thomas Payne!” “When it was the Fourth of July, and he was yelling at the kids for throwing the fourth, of July, cake at each other instead of eating it. Which I thought of it, as funny at the time!” “While he was eating half, of his Fourth of July cake, since it was his birthday’s as much as the other sailors who had the same birthday on the fourth of July as him!” “Through while still not changing his weight from eating too much of his cake, as well!” “Which shocked me a bit, it is not the point of the matter, no it is the principle of the matter, of which I had him, be my target, and the get close to him, and find out what he is thinking. “And if it’s different, then what I get from everyone else, in this town that I lived in right now!” “I’m deciding on what to do with my target, and what could happen with him, that is different, than when I’m not with him!” “Which today was not, because, he had a big crowd around him, and the other sailors, that I knew had to go away!” “I waited for a few hours until I knew the crowd will dispersed and go away soon, but will the sailor of my first target still be there once the crowd is gone!”
Stephanie was still thinking of the past as she was still going to tell the story to her visitor who is the reporter, who wanted to publish her story into a book and have her be famous as Stephanie would like to see it happen for her.

My excerpt for this afternoon is from, Excitement for Love!
Her parents looked at their adopted daughter her father said, “Yes Alecia you can go, but there is something we must tell you first.” “Before you began to pack that we need you to hear!” “Besides being proud of you, going to the school, in Greece, come sit down by me and your mother!” “Because we need to talk to you OK.”
Alecia nodded her head yes towards her parents and she knew her parents wanted to tell her something important.
Alecia walked straight towards her parents and sat by them to hear what her parents have to say to her.
Alecia first heard her dad said, “Alecia we would like to tell you that now since you have grown up from being our own daughter to who we really love and cherish!” “We have to tell you the truth you are adopted Alecia your mom and me are not your real parents, but guardians to you for us to look after you!” “When you were found in front of one of the Greek temples, we asked Zeus to guide us in what we needed to do!” “Since we did not know who were your parents!” “We soon found out through a letter by your real mother addressed to you who is living with your father in the underworld.”
Alecia looked towards them and saw them change to something more powerful with Greek robes on them that looked like toga’s one of her friends showed her a guy wearing in a international magazine.
While looking at their ethereal appearance she had questions to ask, “When did I come, here from Greece and what do I call you both since you both are my guardians and were my parents since I could remember!” “Who are my real mother and father that you say are in the underworld!”
Both her adopted parents and guardians looked at her, with a smile and her adopted mother said, “Alecia your mother is the Demi Goddess of earth Persephone!” “And your father is Hades do you understand dear, and one more thing you should know is besides the letter from your real mother there is a blanket with your name on it as well Alecia!”
Alecia looked at the letter and gold and black blanket with her name done in red with a fire and earth design on it, and she loved it, but soon she became interested in the letter and wanted to hear what her real mother had to say to her in the letter.
Inside the letter was a gold shape design of a woman and a man in the underworld and then another picture of the woman in a blue gown with birds and being in nature on earth, she questioned about it until she begin to read the letter which said…
Dear Alecia
I am happy that I gave birth to you in such a noble place on earth where the gods are protecting me.
But yet again I realized that I am married to a man who has people bring him souls over a boat to the other side.
Since I ate the forbidden fruit and have been granted a gift of staying on earth for a month or two close to a year, with your grandmother, I know I will have to go back to be underground somehow with the man, my husband who I have grown to love somewhat.
But I am proud that I love you and cared about you, but knew you would be safe with the guardians and now with your uncles in Greece my husband’s brothers and of course my brother in laws not by choice.
However, you will soon know I will meet you in a forest on earth in Greece and I will guide you to my mother who is your grandmother who will take care of you over the summer months until such time when I can be near you and see you again.
Someday you will meet your father god of the underworld Hades who has grown on me, but not so much as you have been apart from me Alecia, your true powers will show in time once you be at the school for the Demi gods and goddesses.
Since I had my brother in laws put you in their school and you will find love one of these days different from how I became the way I am to live now, hope to see you in Greece soon my daughter.
Love
Your real mother Persephone and your father Hades
Alecia looked up at her parents now known as her guardians who she now realized have been taking care of her since her mother brought her as a baby to them.
But Alecia decided to ask her supposed parents now guardians, “what do I call you since you have raised me at birth!” “And allowed me to call you mom and dad I do not know what else to call you since!” “All I know is mom and dad from you both, but I do not know my birth mother or birth father real well to call them mom , mother, or dad, father!” “Very well like I have known you both to be for me, so could you please tell me what to call you both that is, not mom and dad please tell me!”
Both guardians looked at her with love, compassion, and care with kindness and niceness in their eyes and her supposed mother now guardian said, “You can still call us mother and father if you want to Alecia!” “But our real names as guardians my name is, felicity, and this male who you can still call father if you want is Malcolm!” “And we both love you very much and will protect you with both our lives should you ever need us Alecia then just think about us and wish we are there!” “We will come to you for help ok, but that doesn’t mean you can’t write to us!” “Because you still can write to us from Greece Alecia, so go upstairs and put the letter and baby blanket in with you stuff and any mementos you might need or want with you stuff and things OK!”
Alecia nodded her head yes, and knew what she is told she went upstairs to pack her stuff while stuffing the letter and the baby blanket in with her other mementos and other things to remember her friends that she had here.
